La CENTER – On Tuesday, Sept. 16, the Four Rivers League of Sports-men (FRLS), a chapter of the Ken-tucky League of Sportsmen, was cre-ated during an inaugural meeting held at the Emergency Operations Center.

KLS is a state wide organization with a few hundred members that has ‘pull’ with the State Game Commis-sion and Fish and Wildlife meeting with them on a regular basis accord-ing to spokesperson Martin Flournoy during the Tuesday meeting

During a Fiscal Court meeting in June, a committee was formed to look into advancing the use of the old Bal-lard County Wildlife and Recreation-

al Area after Ballard County resident Joe Cooper lodged a concern with the court saying “I’m here to complain about the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife pertaining to the 6,000 acres they bought from Ballard County many years ago.” Cooper said during the meeting he intended to “put pressure on Frankfort”, to allow the use of the area again. In agreement

with Cooper about the deterioration of the of recreation area, loss of busi-ness and the lost tax revenue since KDF&W took control of the acreage the court formed the committee.

Since the first scheduled meeting of the committee with Fish and Wild-life, in which no one from KDF&W attended, the committee has been able to meet with F&W a few times. Information learned from those meet-ings in which KDF&W suggested it would be willing to negotiate the use of the wildlife area with an organiza-tion rather than with individuals be-cause of liability issues lead to the formation of FRLS.

KDF&W, said Flournoy, has said it would work with an organiza-

KEVIL – A typical trip to the First Community Bank in Kevil turned into anything but for Alan Lynn last week.

While inside the bank making a transaction on Sept. 17, Lynn became an unwilling witness to a bank robbery when an armed suspect entered the bank, ordered people

to the ground and took an undisclosed amount of money during a daring daylight robbery.

“For an instant, I actually thought it was a joke,” said Lynn.

Lynn said he was standing at the third teller’s window when a man wearing a mask entered the bank around 11:40 a.m. The man, according to Lynn,

WICKLIFFE – At September’s Fiscal Court meeting on the 16th Emergency Management Director Travis Holder reported to the court that repairs of three of the four county emergency generators are not covered under any part of insurance coverage.

The generators have

been plagued with an algae growth in the fuel systems. The estimates, at around $10,000 each to correct the issue are reportedly as costly as complete motor replacement. At the time of the generator placements the County Road Department was to perform monthly maintenance inspections and start-ups. Since the

KEVIL – Kevil City Commissioners voted to raise the current city tax rate from .325 percent to .340 percent during the Sept.15 commissioner’s meeting. The increase will attempt to off set the loss of tax revenue, generated by bonds, after the sale of the Kevil Bank to First Community Bank.

Commissioner Debbie Bridges attended her first commissioner meeting on the 15th after being named as the replacement of the out going Jerry Summers. Summers had moved his residency to an out of the city location. The relocation left summers ineligible for the commissioners position and forced his resignation from the commission.

pointed the gun at his face from about 15 feet away ordering him to get down. Lynn said he realized the seriousness of the sitiuation almost instantly, especially when the suspect yelled at him a second time to get down.

Lynn said as he looked down the barrel of a large-caliber automatic hand gun, he glanced at the suspect, noticing he was wearing gloves, a black mask with glasses and a black hoodie.

Lynn said he complied with the assailant’s orders and sat down with

his back to the teller window as workers in the bank were getting down behind their desks. He said the man passed by him and went behind the teller counter where there were two tellers. Telling one of them to get down on the ground, Lynn said the man told the other teller to open her drawer. Lynn said he could hear the man getting the money from of the drawer after the teller had followed his command.

It was about that time, Lynn said, that the man fired his gun. He said something like saw dust fell on his hat and shoulders. Lynn said he

then thought he needed to remember everything he could about the man when he comes back around.

When the suspect came back around the counter he was running in a full-out run headed for the door, Lynn said. That’s when he noticed the man was wearing grey camoflauge pants and black-and-white high-top tennis shoes. Lynn said after the suspect had left the building, he got off the floor and could see through the office windows as the robber ran around the side of the building.

Lynn said he went

around the counter to check on the tellers and found them crying and hugging one another. After the tellers had informed him they were fine, he said he looked on the floor and saw a shell casing and some

money. Lynn said as he looked back around toward the counter and could see where the bullet had impacted and skidded across the counter and lodged in the up-right portion of the counter only about three feet above where his head had been. Lynn said that’s where the saw dust that had fallen on him earlier had come from.

Lynn said one of the tellers went to the front door and locked it while another went to the back door and secured it.

The whole incident took only about four minutes to transpire, according to Lynn. He

said it took about 15 minutes for McCracken County law enforcement authorities to arrive on scene. He said Ballard County officers were next to show up, followed by the Federal Bureau of Investigations and then the Kentucky State Police.

Lynn said he and the other people who had been inside the bank were held and questioned for about two hours before being released.

FCB’s Bruce Kimball said he wanted everyone to know he was glad no one had been harmed during the robbery.

A short time later after reviewing surveillance footage and receiving several tips from the public, law enforcement officials identified a 25-year-old Paducah man, Haywood “Wesley” Jones, in connection with the robbery and issued a warrant for his arrest.

Jones, following a brief gun battle, was taken into custody on Saturday in Cairo, Ill. After being treated for his injuries at a local hospital, he waived extradition before a Missouri judge on Saturday evening and was immediately transported to the Ballard County detention facility where he faces robbery and handgun charges

According to law enforcement officials, Jones was on probation for drug offenses at the time of the robbery

Jones appeared for arraignment in front of the Ballard County District Court on Monday, Sept. 22.

Alexander County Sheriff Tim Brown said one other person was shot in connection with the gun battle, which took place in front of the Elmwood Place apartment complex. No information was available on the other individual as of press time.

BARLOW- Thursday night the Kentucky League of Cities along with the Barlow City Commission hosted the initial planning meeting for the future of 42024 at the First Baptist Church.

“The Calvary is not coming,” Tad Long with KLC told the group of about 125 people during his opening introduction, “If there is any positive change going forward it depends on you.”

Long said KLC doesn’t have the answers, the answers he said are in the community. The plan will focus on ‘Local First,” a plan to help Barlow, one that it can do. He said there would be something unique about their plan; it would be their plan

The competition these days is not La Center, it’s not Wickliffe, there are 18,000 cities across America and a quarter million around the world competing for the same jobs as Barlow according to Long.

Long introduced his KLC partner Bobby Bryant to lead the first phase of the meeting.

He said he and Bryant had worked with several small towns like Barlow in the past. Bryant, who is from Calloway County, he said has worked with Hopkinsville and Shelbyville to help with the redevelopment of their downtowns.

The listening phase, directed by Bryant, centered on a series of ten questions projected on the wall along with the answers given by those gathered were visible for everyone to see.

Bryant asked, what are the things that set Barlow and 42024 apart that make it unique; what are its strengths, weaknesses, threats, what kind of jobs are possible.

Answers ranged from it being home, the small town feel, the history of Barlow and its location. Using the natural environment and the surrounding resources such as hunting, fishing and outdoor activities and tourism were the most popular answers. The threats to Barlow that were mentioned were the relocation of highway 60 and the closing of the paper mill.

Some of the things they wished they could change in Barlow were having a local grocery store, a gas station, bank and a drug store again.

Question nine is where things began to stir the thoughts and emotions: Where would the natural trail head be, where could people come to rent equipment for activities? Matt Haney said he believed Barlow could be that place. He continued by telling of a small dying coal mine town in West Virginia, maybe smaller then Barlow he added, that was able to change some laws to where four wheelers could be ridden on the streets by purchasing permits and having them licensed, adding that they utilized their natural surroundings and wilderness to create four-wheeler trails to ride that he said “were everywhere.”

On every table were crayons, ink pens and note tablets. There was uncertainty as to why they were there the only thing anyone knew was that KLC had placed them. They would find out they were for phase two, the design

phase. The participants were broken

into groups according to the tables where they were seated. Each group was given a map of the city about 30 inches long and about 2 feet wide. They were told they could use the supplied materials along with pictures, also supplied by KLC, to create their idea for what they would want Barlow to look like.

At the end of the design stage each of the 13 groups’ spokesperson, using the maps, took their turn showing and explaining their table’s plan for Barlow. The most common themes seemed to involve beautification and clean up in and around the town and along the highway 60 frontage. Decorative signage when entering Barlow was mentioned by nearly every table. For certain though, the most common connecting thread was tourism.

The thinking behind tourism was to use the natural outdoor resources available attracting people to 42024 and Barlow and there-by eventually attract

businesses. Hunting and fishing, zip-lines and small water park along with hiking trails were all ideas. An RV park and horse back riding were also ideas some one had.

KLC will take all the information gathered; compile it and re-present it at the next meeting as the blue print for Barlow. Long said it will take money for these things to happen and they would help with the funding sources.

In a discussion with Mayor John Wood he said the first step is to have a plan in place. With a plan and progress toward implementing that plan would lead the way to grants and other financial funding.

Talking with Jerry Pace about the noticeable absence of 20-40 year-olds, the ones to either carry on or benefit from the project, Pace said he was certain once they see things beginning to happen in Barlow they’ll get involved.

The next meeting is scheduled for Oct. 21 at 6 p.m.

42024 planning meeting a big hit for residents

BCMS students test theirdesign skills ...Students in Sue Morris’ seventh-grade science class at Ballard County Middle School again have embarked on design and construction projects. Students were challenged to construct a parachute that would safely carry a raw egg to the ground using only newspaper, thread and glue. In the top photo, students (from left) Ryan Rehkemper, Kylie Koontz, Savanna Elrod, Daniel Baker, Sean Cox and Alex Overby test their parachute designs. In the middle photo, Chance Gray tests the parachute he has designed. The goal of the project was to safely land a raw egg; sadly, none of the eggs survived the drop. In the bottom photo, Sean Cox, Alex Overby and Trenton Howard make the final adjustments to a different project, a solar oven, before taking final temperature readings.

Profiles in Nature By Jack Glisson

I have seen several post lately on social me-dia about all of the webs seen in our trees. The comments seem to range from army worms to tent caterpillars and even spi-ders, but few have identi-fied the culprit correctly. These webs are built by Fall Webworms, scien-tific name Hyphantria cunea. Just to set things straight, tent caterpillars build their nest in the spring and the web is usu-ally located in the forks of a limb. Army worms do not build a web nest. Fall Webworms build in the fall and their web may encompass entire limbs and usually in-clude the limb tips.

The adult stage of the fall webworm is a small white moth with a vary-ing number of dark spots on their wings. The moth will lay egg clusters that may contain several hun-dred eggs on the under-side of leaves. Once the young caterpillars hatch

they begin to spin webs for protection and feed within this web. As they grow so does the web and it may encompass an entire branch. The larval form reaches ma-turity in about four to six weeks when it will make its way to the ground and there in the leaf litter and bark will spin a thin light brown silk cocoon. These moths overwin-

ter in pupal form inside these cocoons and will emerge next spring.

Not being a picky eat-er the fall webworm will feed on almost any type of deciduous (meaning it loses leaves in winter) tree. Sometimes many branches or even the entire tree looks to be covered in webs. Rarely is this a concern for a healthy tree however

since these caterpillars occur in the fall when the tree has already went through its growth cycle.

Several sprays can be used to treat for these lit-tle pests and I have even known folks to burn the nest with a torch. Re-member however that they rarely damage the host tree unless it is young or diseased to start with

Fall webworms

having”. The jail will house 78 inmates but they have to leave a few beds available for on-going arrests. He said the past two weeks the jail had lost a few state inmates and he was becoming concerned but through a contact made by Judge/Executive Vickie Viniard and Treasure Belinda Foster had made at a recent meeting he received eight state inmates from Simpson County. The Simpson County Jailer said he could provide all the inmates the detention center needed.

An expenditure for the jail was approved by the court for an updated security camera system. The estimated cost at nearly $10,000 was “a little more then I expected” according to Hall Jr. There is an additional $1,700 already set aside for the system. The updated system will provide 24 ‘vandal proof’ dome cameras in all living quarters in cells. All outdoor cameras will be replaced along with the addition of interior cameras monitoring all “out of the way places’ such as dry storage in the kitchen area. The new system will include a video only recoding device.

The Ambulance Report for August was for 106 responses; 45 were by Advance Life Support. One out-of-town to Nashville and one patient air evacuated. A total of 2,547 miles were generated by the ambulances.

Tax reports are to be billed earlier then usual according to Sheriff Todd Cooper. Cooper said this year’s taxes are the second earliest printing since he has been in office. Tax revenues have increased from 3.85 million to 4.29 million in the past five years according to Cooper.

Drug activity in the county is down, according to Cooper, from January to August this year over the same period in recent years although there have been two heroin cases earlier this year. Synthetic drug use is on the rise and there have been two people in the county to die from the use of synthetics, one of which was a 28 year-old. The largest numbers if users are those on probation or

parole due to the inability to detect synthetics on some drug tests also according to Cooper. He said the synthetic drugs are being purchased out of state.

Coffee Animal Clinic bill for August was unusually excessive at $2500 creating a lot of discussion by the court. “We had a lot of pick-ups this month” according to Animal Control Officer James Campbell; there were a total of 23 dogs and one cat picked up. Coffee charges per animal delivered for daily boarding, flea dip for those going to a rescue and an individual charge for euthanasia.

During the Solid Waste report it was suggested the court consider the need to purchase additional recycle containers and a trailer system in the future. Barlow and Kevil have made requests to have recycle containers stationed there also and the recycle facilities usually stationed at the extension office in La Center and in front of the automotive store in Wickliffe are being used more often. Normally getting the public to follow directions is a good thing. In the case of the recycle trailers it’s helping to create a demand for more trailers. The doors of the trailer are labeled for different types of recyclable materials and when the bins are full the excess is being placed on the ground instead of being placed in the container in a differently labeled material door causing trash to pile around the trailer or blow away causing neighborhood litter.

Throgmorton Road black topping is complete. The county will be reimbursed the cost of the entire project by state funding due to the road having had to be closed for a time. Also discussed during the Road and Bridge report was mandatory over time during inclement weather such as last winter. Foster said she believes if looked into further the mandatory over time was at the discretion of the Judge.

Wayside Inn north, Stewart and Mt Pleasant Roads are all scheduled for resurfacing repairs.

The court approved the second reading of the Solid Waste Ordinance and the spending $29,500 reimbursable funds for GRRO signage.

St. Mary Catholic Church in LaCenter will sponsor a Blessing of the Animals in honor of the feast day of St. Francis of

Assisi on Saturday, Oct. 4, at noon. The event will be held as part of LaCenter Day in the city park. The custom is in remembrance

of St. Francis’ love for all creatures. Organizers request pets be on a leash during the event. All animals are welcome

to attend; Father Joosa Marydasan (Father Joe) will be offering the blessings.

Coffee Memorial Animal Clinic is offering coupons to attendees for a discount on microchipping pets. The fee is normally $36-40, but with the coupons, the cost will be only $20.

Pet rescue group Creatures Great and Small will be in attendance from noon to 3 p.m. with animals available for adoption. They also will be accepting donations of any kind of Purina brand cat or dog food, cat litter, dog treats and bedding.

St. Mary to sponsor ‘Blessing of the Animals’

On Sept. 18, at about approximately 7 p.m., Ballard County sheriff’s deputies served a search warrant on county farm 2 miles north of Wickliffe. During a search of residence at the 1400 block, deputies found 15-20 pounds of marijuana, items used to package marijuana and four weapons, including an AR-15.

Deputies arrested Joel Bickerstaff, 48, of Wickliffe, for trafficking more than 5 lbs of marijuana and drug paraphernalia.

Bickerstaff was taken to in the Ballard County jail.

Cancer survivor to travel to D.C. to urge lawmakers to make cancer a priority

Last week more than 600 cancer patients, survi-vors, volunteers and staff from all 50 states and near-ly every congressional dis-trict united in Washington, D.C., as part of the annual American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network (ACS CAN) Leadership Summit and Lobby Day. Advocates urged Congress to take specific steps to make cancer a national pri-ority and help end a disease that still kills 1,600 people a day in this country.

Marlene Fraser from LaCenter met with Rep. Ed Whitfield, Sen. Mitch McConnell and Sen. Rand Paul to discuss the need to support an increase in federal funding for cancer research and prevention. She also asked them to co-sponsor legislation that supports patients’ quality of life, and to support leg-islation that would close a loophole in Medicare that often results in surprise costs for seniors when a polyp is found during a routine colonoscopy.

“Congress has a criti-cal role to play in the fight to defeat a disease that kills an estimated 500,000 people in America every year. As a cancer survivor/advocate, I will let Rep. Whitfield, Sen. McCon-nell, and Sen. Paul know that Congress can dem-onstrate a commitment to the fight against cancer by increasing federal funding for cancer research and prevention, co-sponsoring patient quality of life leg-islation and eliminating surprise costs for seniors getting colorectal cancer screenings,” said Fraser. “Making these lifesaving policies a priority will help to eliminate death and suf-fering from cancer.”

Specifically, the Ken-tucky volunteers asked their Members of Con-gress to:

• Increase funding

for cancer research at the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and for preven-tion programs at the U.S. Centers for Disease Con-trol (CDC). Freezes and cuts in federal funding for NCI and the CDC in recent years have put continued progress in the preven-tion, detection and treat-ment of cancer in jeopardy. Nearly half of all cancer deaths are preventable, but inadequate funding for groundbreaking research and critical screening pro-grams could cost count-less lives. In 2013, Ken-tucky research institutions received $18,604,527 in funding from the NCI and the state’s National Breast & Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program received $2,598,592 from the CDC to support life-savings cancer screenings for low-income women.

• Co-sponsor legislation to improve the quality of life of cancer patients with better access to palliative care. From the moment a person hears “you have cancer,” they may deal with pain, stress, and other side effects. Sometimes the problem is made worse by poor coordination among the doctors, nurses and specialists on a patient’s treatment team. Patients can receive an extra layer of support, called pallia-tive care that improves pa-tients’ quality of life at any age and at any stage of ill-ness. ACS CAN supports bipartisan legislation that would make palliative care more available to people who need it.

“One in two men and one in three women will hear the words ‘you have cancer’ in their lifetime. We need a full and unwav-ering commitment from Congress to take action to help prevent and treat cancer,” said Eric Ev-ans, Grassroots Advocacy Manager for ACS CAN.

THE BALLARD COUNTY WEEKLYWEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 2014 PAGE 7

With the coming of fall, comes the start of the harvest season. Crop yields are really good this year. Crop prices are re-ally bad. Prices for corn, soybeans and wheat have not only fallen in the last 2 months, they have dropped off a cliff. The corn crop is mature, but the grain moisture level is still too high to avoid a big dock at the eleva-tor. Farmers with their own drying systems have gotten a good start to the corn harvest, everyone else is waiting for the corn to dry down.

Overall, with the yields I have heard so far, we are probably looking at the best corn crop ever for Ballard County. Any field that is not over 200 bushels per acre probably had some kind of stand problem. In several ar-eas, heavy rains just af-ter planting caused some problems. There are also several smaller areas that just missed some of the timely rains that the rest of the county received. Still there will be a lot of heavy truck traffic on the roads this fall, hauling this sizable crop from the field, so you need to be careful on the side roads and be alert for slower moving farm traffic.

A few fields of early maturing soybeans are almost ready for har-vest. There may have been a few fields already harvested but I have not heard any results yet. I would look for the early maturing beans to be a lit-tle below the late matur-ing varieties just for the fact that we had a week or two of dry weather that hit just as they were setting pods. The lat-

er soybeans benefitted from some late rains and should be very good. I would not be surprised if it was not the best double crop ( beans after wheat) soybean yields that we have ever had.

Grain farming has been extremely profit-able for the last several years. With the drop in crop prices, all that has changed overnight. The crop insurance program worked very well when the prices were high, next year, farmers will have much less protec-tion. Unfortunately, I look for crop lenders to require much more in-formation and collateral when making farm loans for this next growing sea-son. Good management and a good grain market-ing program are going to be much more important next year than in the past few years.

Still, high yields and good crops raise every-one’s spirits. Several other parts of the state had some severe drought problems and I am hear-ing some very reduced yields in those areas. That really hurts when you have low prices and low yields. It may make for a long winter. Our yield will be great and we could not have asked for a much better summer to grow crops.

Senior Spotlight

By Olivia Robison “I would like to thank

the sidewalks for always keeping me off of the streets.” Those that do not know senior Brian Bellamy may find that quote odd, but it is just the perfect example of the unique guy who always makes people laugh. To his friends, Brian is known as a guy who is funny and always fun to be around. Although he is the son of Damon Bel-lamy of Wickliffe, Brian also wanted to recognize his grandmother, Mattye Bellamy of Wickliffe,

who he is very close to. He attends Gum Corner Baptist Church with his family.

With Brian’s sense of humor, he is one that

loves to create memo-ries. No one will for-get Brian’s “sexy Sil-verado,” his most prized possession on which he spends most of his free time working on. After graduation, Brian hopes to go to college to pur-sue a career in mechan-ics; more specifically, car building.

One particular individual has the potential to surpass the rest. “King Keiyondre” sits atop the Bledsoe family hierarchy, Lucky Charms in hand, as the oldest cur-rently enrolled in BMHS. Dre Bledsoe dominates the court, track, and field. He is so involved; many would consider him the face of Bomber athletics.

Son of LeToun and Rai-

na Bledsoe of LaCenter, Dre attends Fairview Bap-tist Church. He has been a four-year member of the football, basketball, and track teams. He has also been in FCA and Span-ish Club for all four years of high school. Dre was a member of basketball homecoming court fresh-

man year.Dre’s greatest accom-

plishment has been help-ing his younger brother, Devyn, through memory loss after he passed out in class. He hopes to be re-membered as a hard work-ing gentleman with a lot of ambition.

His plans for the future are to attend a four- year university, become a pro-fessional football player, and pursue a career in ar-chitecture. For now, it feels good to be king.

There was no decision concerning the generators at this time but it was agreed that with

the winter approaching the generators need repaired. The discussion was tabled for further investigation into the options facing the court on the decision of how to handle the generators.

Holder had reported to the court in a prior meeting on the deficiency of the Jaws of Life that EM currently possesses. In last month’s meeting Holder told the court a new set would cost $16,000 dollars but he had a four year-old set borrowed which could be purchased for $2,400. He also said he had applied for a Home Land Security Grant to cover the cost to replace the current set of Jaws but did not no when to expect the grant approval. He went on to tell the court that the time had come to either purchase or return the borrowed set. The court approved the $2,400 expenditure for the set with the feeling that with the grant approval and the purchase of a new set the county would be benefited by having two set of Jaws available.
