Mathys of LAW OFFICES OF MATHYS & SCHNEID obtained a jury verdict against two doctors on behalf of his client Micheatria Donelson last week (Thursday, October 6, 2011); case NO. 07-CI-01768. In February 2006, Donelson went into labor after just 21 weeks of pregnancy, and her child, Prince Embry, was decapitated during the premature delivery.

Mathys alleged that Dr. William Koontz failed to properly treat Donelson's high-risk pregnancy by improperly placing a cerclage, which is a purse string type device to keep the cervix closed and prevent a premature birth. But when that cerclage failed to do its job, Dr. Koontz's partner, Dr. Joseph Bilotta, failed to remove the device when Donelson went into spontaneous pre-term labor. The purse string acted like a noose around the baby's neck during the double-footling breech delivery causing baby Prince's head to be decapitated. Donelson witnessed this entire horrific event, including watching her son's headless body handed to the nurse, the chin ripped off and the head delivered.

As a result of watching her child decapitated, Donelson suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety and depression. The $1.4 million award was exclusively for Donelson's past and future pain and suffering related to her emotional injuries.

"Justice was served here today," said Mathys. "The jury heard Micheatria's ordeal, felt her pain, and understood the significant harms and losses she endured. This money will allow her to receive the psychological care she desperately needs to try and live as normal a life as possible."

Unfortunately, Prince Embry was only 21 weeks old, was not considered viable and therefore not entitled to any independent recovery for wrongful death under Kentucky law.

Mathys, stated that the wrongful death law in Kentucky regarding the need to prove viability is archaic and unfair to pregnant mothers. "It allows the worst care to go unpunished, so that if the pregnancy fails to reach 24 weeks gestation, doctors cannot be sued for the infant's wrongful death."

Local Louisville attorneys Wade Yeoman and Larry Jones of JonesWard PLC were instrumental in helping Mark Mathys obtain justice for Ms. Donelson.

The Bosley Family has been cooking up Kentucky's traditional soup Burgoo at the Moonlite Bar-B-Q Inn for four generations.

The burgoo recipe became a discussion between Moonlite and Bobby Flay when he wished to put Lima Beans into the soup. While Bobby Flay added it to his version, Moonlite still contends that most cooks would never put lima beans in Burgoo; as Pit Master Benny Bosley claims, "You can put whatever you want in it, I just might not call it burgoo." The Special was filmed at Sullivan College in Louisville on May 5 and should air during the Kentucky Derby (between 4 and 5 p.m.).

The center of the burgoo universe is Owensboro, Kentucky. Owensboro is located on the Ohio River, about mid-way between Cincinnati, OH and St. Louis, MO. The largest city in western Kentucky, Owensboro is known as "The Bar-B-Q Capital of the World." This is due, in part, to the Moonlite Bar-B-Q Inn, and the world renowned International Bar-B-Q Festival held on the Riverfront the second weekend in May (May 13 and 14, 2011).

Owensboro's burgoo is a hearty soup made from mutton, chicken, and a variety of vegetables. No two cooks prepare it the same way and most keep their recipes a closely guarded secret. Burgoo is a staple at both the Moonlite and the International Bar-B-Q Festival. Moonlite also sells burgoo by mail-order on its online store http://www.moonlite.com .

Moonlite Bar-B-Q Inn seats 350 people and has been voted the best barbecue in Kentucky by: AAA, Kentucky Living, and Kentucky Monthly. The restaurant prepares about 50 gallons of burgoo a day, and barbecues between 20 and 30 thousand pounds of meat per week (about half of which is Mutton). It is Mutton (sheep) which gives burgoo its distinctive flavor. Moonlite can bring Burgoo to you. They have a renowned catering department which can handle any size group and can cater anywhere in the U.S.

For the second year in a row, Kentucky Living Magazine readers voted and made their voices heard - Moonlite has the best barbecue in Kentucky.

In March, Kentucky Living staff asked its readers to send in their votes for 18 of Kentucky's "Best Ofs" - from fishing spots and antique shops to barbecue joints. There were many great choices in all categories, but only a few prevailed.

Family-owned Moonlite Bar-B-Q is well-known all around Kentucky for its barbecue mutton and ribs, burgoo (a spicy stew) and country ham.

"It's the 'family touch' that makes it so good," says Patrick Bosley, manager of Moonlite Bar-B-Q. "We're on our fourth generation of family working here. Barbecue is nothing but hard work. For example, it takes 12 hours to cook mutton. That attention to detail, coupled with a great atmosphere make for a memorable experience."

Bosley believes that it's not just about the food - the atmosphere and how people are treated also count.

"We treat our customers like friends and family," he adds. "We're lucky to bring it all to the table."

And, although family owned and operated, Moonlite Bar-B-Q has 140 employees. It has a USDA-processing facility from which they sell wholesale barbecue to other restaurants and stores; it has a catering service that can cater anywhere in the U.S.; and there is also an online mail order service for multiple products including brisket, sauces, ribs and more.

"Our newest product was created due to popular demand," adds Bosley. "It's called 'Moondust' and is a barbecue rub that has no MSG or salt. It's on the spicy side with a base of smoked paprika."

Moonlite Bar-B-Q's motto is: "When only the best will do...Moonlite Bar-B-Q." Well, it appears that this motto has been put to the test and they delivered.

That's why they are hosting an employee reunion on Sunday September 5 from 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. at the Western Kentucky Botanical Garden, 25 Carter Road, Owensboro, Ky. 42301. Since 1963, Moonlite Bar-B-Q has been a Kentucky tradition.

"This is a real honor. I am overwhelmed by our customers' loyalty. I know everyone has their favorite and to be counted among them is special to us. We have been slow-cooking barbecue over a hickory log fire for over three generations, but you are only as good as your last meal," said Patrick Bosley, Manager of the Moonlite Bar-B-Q Inn. "We are most famous for our buffet and the barbecued mutton. Not many people are aware of how good mutton barbecue is; that is, until they come to the Moonlite Bar-B-Q Inn and try their first bite!"

"Mutton puts Owensboro barbecue in a class by itself," said Gourmet Magazine. "Cooked until pot-roast tender, it is set out on the Moonlite buffet two ways: chopped or pulled. The chopped mutton is nothing but flavor: tangy lamb and wood smoke in a bold hash duet. The pulled version is a textural amusement park: juicy chunks so supple they make us want to abandon all utensils and eat like happy cave dwellers."

For those who can't make the trip in person, Moonlite has an online store where you can buy Moonlite Bar-B-Q's award winning mutton barbecue, and other Moonlite Bar-B-Q family favorites.

"Perhaps most importantly - we will need qualified teachers to prepare students for these increasingly sophisticated professions," said Jay Jackman, Ph.D., executive director of the National Association of Agricultural Educators.

The United States Department of Agriculture predicts 52,000 Ag-related job openings for college graduates(*Note 1) will be needed in 2010 - even as the country finds its national unemployment rate hovering around 10 percent. Available jobs are expected in broad areas of food, animal and environmental science. Jobs such as animal geneticists, biochemists, botanists and food engineers will be needed.

Food, Energy Needs Driving Increase:
World food demand is expected to increase 100 percent by 2050(*Note 2) due to a rapidly expanding population in countries such as China, India and the United States. And, yet 963 million people, 14 percent of the world's population, are already chronically hungry(*Note 3).

"To increase the supply of safe, nutritious and affordable food, we all share in the responsibility to ensure those responsible for producing food have the knowledge required to do their jobs," said Jackman. "For millions of people, it could be the difference between sustenance and starvation."

Additional agricultural crops will also be needed to meet growing energy demands. For example, without biofuels such as ethanol produced from corn, the United States would have used 7.2 billion more gallons of gasoline in 2008(*Note 4). And, earlier this month President Barack Obama announced a series of steps his administration is taking to boost biofuel production to enhance America's energy independence(*Note 5).

"However, as we implement new technologies to reduce our dependence on fossil fuels and increase food production, we also will need an increasing number of agricultural experts to help ensure this growth does not cause irreparable harm to the environment or compromise safety in the food supply chain," said Jackman.

Jackman said Ag teachers will have enormous opportunities in the 21st century to contribute multifaceted, innovative solutions to the challenge of providing enough crops to feed the world and power the planet. "But these challenges can't just be the concerns of educators-all citizens across the nation should advocate and support agricultural education - at both local and national levels so that we are preparing our youth for the challenges that await them."

About National Teach Ag Day:
The primary purpose of National Teach Ag Day is to open the minds of young people to consider a career in teaching agriculture science. In acknowledgement of the day's importance, National Teach Ag Day has been sponsored by Rep. Travis Childers, (D-MS) and endorsed by the House of Representatives.

National Teach Ag Day is a component of the National Teach Ag Campaign, an initiative of the National Council for Agricultural Education, led by the National Association of Agricultural Educators (NAAE). The day is sponsored by Campbell Soup Company and Landmark Nurseries as a special project of the National FFA Foundation.

About NAAE:
The National Association of Agricultural Educators is a federation of state agricultural educators associations with more than 7,650 members. NAAE seeks to advance agricultural education and promote the professional interest and growth of agriculture teachers as well as recruit and prepare students who have a desire to teach agriculture.
