MHS Boys’ Soccer coach, Jim Bauer said the Wall of Fame project was designed to recognize the efforts and achievements of former players. It is the second year to induct hall of fame recipients. The unveiling of the "Wall of Fame" will debut a listing of former players, record holders, Hall of Fame members, All-State Players and project donors. This year’s 2008 Hall of Fame recipients will be the second group of members inducted since 2003. The inductees will be recognized at the unveiling as well as at the half-time ceremony of the Boys’ varsity match beginning approximately at 6:30 p.m. The Murray High School soccer program began in 1983 under the direction of Dr. Rob Williams and the late Beth Broach, former MISD health and physical education instructor. James Weatherly has also served as a previous coach. Since 1983, over 160 student athletes have participated in the program.

WHITFIELD PROPOSES LAKE BARKLEY LEVELS PLAN
Continuing his efforts to try to reach a consensus on when summer water levels will be reduced to winter water levels at Lake Barkley, Representative Ed Whitfield sent a proposed consensus plan to more than 100 stakeholders who participated in, or were invited to, a meeting he hosted in August. The proposal is based on the input of all stakeholders who participated in the August meeting. Stakeholders will have 30 days to make any additional comments on the proposed consensus plan before Whitfield submits the proposal to the Army Corps of Engineers and requests an environmental assessment. Any eventual adjustment will require regulatory approval by the Corps. The proposal drafted does not change the start date of the draw down, but makes small changes to the rate at which the water is drawn down. Each year, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers begins its drawdown of Lake Barkley in early-July when traffic on the water is at its peak. Lake Barkley is a relatively shallow body of water filled with a number of obstructions, including tree stumps, road beds and old house foundations. These obstructions factor into a number of boating accidents as the lake gets shallower each summer and have played a role in fatalities over the years.
