County Clerks across Ken-tucky began filing their unofficial final primary election results last week with a deadline of this Tues-day at 6 p.m. with the Kentucky Board of Elections.

In-person voting ended last Tuesday, but clerks had to wait until all mailed-in absentee ballots that were postmarked by June 23 had arrived at their offices to be counted.

Kentucky voters were given from June 8 through June 23 to vote in-person or to mail in an absentee ballot, to reduce crowds due to the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. Counties across the state had only a single polling place for in-person voting.

Bath County’s overall voter turnout for this primary election was 30.11 percent, with 2886 bal-lots cast, compared with a state-wide turnout of 28.87 percent.

Here are the final unofficial totals for Bath County for this year’s primary election, courtesy of County Clerk Roger Coyle:

Bath County Un-official Primary Election Results

County Judge-Executive Bobby Rogers issued a per-mit last Thursday for the I-64 Motorplex drag strip to oper-ate in the county as a “place of entertainment” but set limits on its hours of operation.

The track was shut down on May 28, just after Memo-rial Day weekend, following a visit from a Kentucky State Police detective from Lexing-

ton. The detective informed

Tim Baldridge, the track owner, that until he had re-ceived a permit, his opera-tions had to cease.

Following a public hearing held by way of Zoom video/teleconferencing last Thurs-

day, Judge Rogers granted the permit but cut back on the hours of operation of the track, from three days a week, Friday through Sun-day, to Saturdays 12 p.m. to 1

All three Republican can-didates are attorneys from London, in Laurel County.

The 21st Senate District includes Laurel, Jackson, Estill, Powell, Menifee, and Bath Counties.

According to unofficial primary results from the State Board of Elections on

Sitting 21st Circuit Judge David Allen Barber and challenger Elizabeth Davis both appeared to receive the most votes during this June’s primary election.

Unofficial vote totals were received by the Ken-tucky Secretary of State’s Office on Tuesday indicate that Barber received 4730 votes, while Davis received 4421 votes.

These top two vote-get-ters in this non-partisan election will face off again during the November gen-eral election.

The 21st Circuit includes Bath, Menifee, Montgom-ery, and Rowan Coun-ties. The Division 2 seat was formerly occupied by Judge Beth Maze, who an-nounced her resignation last October.

Gov. Andy Beshear ap-pointed David Barber to the fill the vacancy on April 22 following a recommen-dation by the 21st Circuit Judicial Nominating Com-mission. Both Elizabeth Davis and Stephen Neal were also among the three names submitted to Gov. Beshear for consideration.

Before being appointed to the judge’s seat, Barber was in private practice with the law firm of Richardson, Barber & Williamson. He

has served as a Supreme Court justice, a legal ad-visor for the Kentucky General Assembly and oversaw cases as a mem-ber of the Retired Judges Program. He received his juris doctor from the Uni-versity of Louisville Louis D. Brandeis School of Law.

Davis is a partner in the law practice of James E. Davis & Associates and focuses on family law. She previously served as an as-sistant commonwealth’s at-torney for Fayette County. She received her juris doc-tor from the University of Kentucky College of Law.

Below are unofficial vote totals from the four coun-ties in the 21st Circuit.

The Bath Grand Jury was in session on Thursday, June 18, for the first time since March due to the COVID-19 coronavirus state of emer-gency, and they returned fif-teen felony indictments.

A grand jury indictment is not a conviction but a state of charges against an individual before a case is turned over to a prosecutor in circuit court.

All individuals are consid-ered innocent until proven guilty or pleading guilty in court.

Aaron T. Taborn, 31, was indicted on one count of as-sault, second degree, for shoving a victim’s head against various objects in the residence during a domestic dispute on December 5, 2019, resulting in a busted lip and a knocked-out tooth as well as

broken ribs after Taborn sat on her; one count of public intoxication-controlled sub-stance; and one count of re-sisting arrest.

Owingsville Police Offi-cer David Adams provided testimony in this case to the grand jury.

Kevin L. Moore, 33, Randall Scott Withrow, 48, and James B. Brown, 47, were indicted as co-defendants, on one count each of possession of a controlled substance, first degree, first offense, meth-amphetamine; one count of possession of drug parapher-nalia (scales, baggies, and syringes); and one count of possession of marijuana.

These charges follow from a Jan. 18, 2020, arrest in Bath County by Kentucky State Police Trooper Tyler Smith.

Trooper Smith provided testimony to the grand jury in this case.

Kenneth Eldridge, 31, was indicted on one count of possession of a controlled substance, first degree,

These charges follow from a February 5, 2020, arrested by Trooper Smith. Smith also provided testimony in this case.

Barbara Holder, 51, was indicted on one count of theft by unlawful taking, shoplift-ing, under $500, for taking miscellaneous items from

the Dollar General Store in Salt Lick valued at $19.08 on February 14, 2020; one count of possession of a controlled substance, first degree, first-offense, methamphetamine; one count of possession of a controlled substance, third degree, for possessing the Schedule IV controlled sub-stance, the non-narcotic drug Clonazepam; one count of possession of drug parapher-nalia (glass pipe and straw); and one count of public in-toxication – controlled sub-stance.

Trooper Smith also provid-ed testimony in this case.

Kenneth Ray Adkins, 40, was indicted on one count of speeding 26 or more mile

per hour over the speed limit on east bound I-64 on Febru-ary 23, 2020; four counts of wanton endangerment, first degree, police officer, for al-most hitting the vehicles of Trooper Tyler Smith, Troop-er Patrick Zalone, causing Officer Justin Sutherland and another vehicle to collide on I-64, and causing Trooper Dakota Rasche and another vehicle to collide on I-64; one count of fleeing/evading po-lice, first degree; one count of operating a motor vehicle un-der the influence of drugs/al-cohol, first offense; one count

Bath County Farmers Market

The Bath County Farmers Market sells

locally grown produce, baked goods, crafts, and

plants.

We are now open on Friday and Saturday from

8 a.m. to sell out.

We accept WIC and Senior coupons.

We are located under the green hoop barn at the Bath County Agriculture Center at the intersection

of I-64 and US 60 east of Owingsville.

The Project Develop-ment Board overseeing the design and construction of Bath County’s Justice Center is still awaiting ap-praisals on two properties selected as part of the site.

The properties owners, Gary Denton and Glenn and Maryellen Hartley, turned down an initial of-fer on their properties from the Justice Center Board in May and were told to get their own appraisals for the properties.

During the board’s June meeting held on Monday via Zoom videoconferenc-ing and also livestreamed on YouTube, board mem-bers voted to inform Den-ton and the Hartley’s that they needed to have cer-tified appraisals of their properties turned in by July 23 in preparation for the board’s July 27 meet-ing.

Attorney Howard Stone, representing the Hartley’s, said that they were still waiting for their appraisal and they didn’t want to be “obstructionist” with re-gard to the project. He also said he was aware of the po-

Justice Center Board continues to await commercial appraisalstential for “condemnation.”

An attorney for Gary Denton spoke briefly with board members and said that they just had a bro-ker’s opinion to stand by for now and were also still awaiting their appraisal.

During the April board meeting, board members sent offers to Denton, the Hartley’s, Steve Bashford, and Betty Bailey on contig-uous properties they own facing Water Street.

At the May board meet-ing, Denton and the Hart-

ley’s were advised to seek their own commercial ap-praisals for their proper-ties.

Board members are seeking properties to accommodate a 20,000 square foot Justice Center as well as parking for the fa-cility in Owingsville, which will house the Bath County Circuit Clerk’s Office as well District and Circuit courtrooms, judges’ cham-bers, and expanded hold-ing facilities for inmates awaiting hearings.

In 2018, the Kentucky General Assembly appro-priated $9.3 million for a Bath County Justice Center through the Administrative Office of the Courts, which oversees the operations of the Commonwealth’s jus-tice system.

Project Development Board members include County Judge Executive Bobby Rogers; Senior Cir-cuit Court Judge Bill Lane; Senior District Judge Don

Blair; Citizen at Large, Steve Calvert; Kentucky Bar Association designee, attorney Leslie Smith; and County Circuit Clerk Clau-dette Faudere. Non-vot-ing members include the AOC’s Manager of Capital Construction or Facilities Coordinator; the AOC Bud-get Director; AOC Counsel or designee; and County Attorney Kim Price.

The Saint Joseph Mount Sterling Foundation is proud to announce the members of the 2020-2021 new board of direc-tors effective July 1. The board will continue to help strengthen Saint Jo-seph Mount Sterling’s ac-claimed hospital and medi-

Conservation officers with the Kentucky Depart-ment of Fish and Wildlife Resources will join law en-forcement agencies across the nation for Operation Dry Water during the July 4 holiday weekend.

Operation Dry Water is a national campaign designed to educate the public about the danger of boating while impaired. Kentucky will in-crease its law enforcement presence around the state’s lakes and rivers from July 3-5 as a reminder not to boat under the influence.

Impaired boating is a leading contributor to recre-ational boating deaths.

“We’ve seen a surge in the number of boaters - and es-pecially, inexperienced boat-ers - in the past few months. We’re expecting heavy boat-

er traffic during the holi-day,” said Col. Eric Gibson, director of law enforcement for Kentucky Fish and Wild-life. “We want to ensure that all boaters have a safe expe-rience while they’re enjoy-ing Kentucky’s waters.”

Gibson said the depart-ment will have enhanced patrols to provide increased vigilance for dangerous boaters on the state’s water-ways.

A law enacted in 2019 allows officers to make a boating under the influence arrest based on probable cause of operator intoxica-tion, when an accident has caused property damage or physical injury.

Persons arrested for boat-ing under the influence may be subject to 24 hours detention for a first offense

and 48 hours for a second offense.

Operation Dry Water is an annual event coordinated by the National Association of State Boating Law Ad-ministrators, in partnership with the U.S. Coast Guard and various other law en-forcement agencies. Since its inception in 2009, partici-pating officers across the country have removed thou-sands of impaired operators from the nation’s waterways during this event.

The department also wants to remind boaters to practice safe social distanc-ing. Boaters should keep at least six feet away from oth-er people not living in their household. “Rafting up,” or tying large groups of boats together, is not encouraged.

As part of COVID-19 relief efforts, Maysville Community and Techni-cal College(MCTC) is providing additional sup-port for employers.

For the period July 1 – September 30, 2020, KCTCS TRAINS funding can be used by Kentucky companies bringing back laid off or furloughed workers with 75% of the cost of college-delivered training and testing ser-vices covered.

Companies hiring dis-located workers may also take advantage of the funding for the same period of time. The train-ing is not limited to any

specific topic but must be completed by 9/30/20.

KCTCS-TRAINS is a fund designated by the Kentucky General As-sembly to help compa-nies willing to invest in workforce development for their employees. These funds are admin-istered by the Kentucky Community and Techni-cal College System and are available through its sixteen colleges includ-ing MCTC.

Companies receive funding to assist with the cost of providing workforce training and assessment services to current and potential em-

ployees. Our Workforce Solutions staff will assist companies in developing training plans and apply-ing for KCTCS-TRAINS funding.

To speak to someone about how your com-pany can take advantage of the KCTCS TRAINS program, go to https://m a y s v i l l e . k c t c s . e d u /workforce-solutions/con-tact-workforce-solutions/index.aspx

The Message We Shared

race relations (2)

The Word of God has the answer to race rela-tions and Jesus led the way with a “one on one” discussion with a Samari-tan woman in John chapter four. But there is much more in the Bible about race relations; and Jesus remains the leader in solv-ing this ancient problem in society.

After His death on the cross and just before His ascension into heaven Je-sus told the apostles, “Go therefore and make dis-ciples of all nations, baptiz-

ing them in the name of the Father and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you” (Matthew 28:19, 20). Acts 1:8 explains what Je-sus meant by “all nations” for they were to be His witnesses to “Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and to the end of the earth”. Now re-member that “the Jews had no dealings with the Sa-maritans” (John 4:9); and it was “unlawful” for the Jews to enter the house of men from other nations (Acts 10:28). Racial division was rampant in that day also;

but Jesus sent the apostles into that racially divided world to preach the gospel to “every creature” they could (Mark 16:15, 16). The gospel of Christ was designed by God to break-down racial barriers.

Peter was a Jew and like all good Jews of his day he thought it was ille-gal for a Jew to go into the house of a Gentile (Acts 10:28). But God sent him to the home of Cornelius, a Roman soldier. Peter was not easily convinced to go to Cornelius; he was like most of us today who are rooted in our racial preju-

dice today. It took a vision from heaven to convince him…and that vision was repeated three times. Pe-ter finally went and made a startling discovery, “I should call no man com-mon or unclean” because “God shows no partiality” (Acts 10:28, 34).

The gospel is God’s power of salvation for both Jews and Gentiles (Ro-mans 1:16). Preaching the gospel should improve race relations.

Thank you for reason-ing with me.

Church

Matthew 10 tells of a time when Jesus sent his apostles on a mission. Much of the chapter con-tains detailed instructions for the apostles. The clos-ing words found in verses 40-42 address how impor-tant their work is and how the response they receive matters.

Jesus told them that when others welcome the apostles, they are also wel-

coming Christ and God. Further, there is blessing for those who welcome the apostles. In fact, every-thing done for the apostles, even giving a cup of cold water because they belong to Jesus, will matter.

We are not apostles. Per-haps the instructions given by Jesus were for that spe-cific mission only. Howev-er, there are still principles for believers today who are actively working for Christ.

Believers who are doing the work of Christ need to realize that they are taking

an authentic experience with Christ to those who are not believers. This is because as people who have personally experi-enced Christ, they are wit-nesses and demonstrations of the impact of Christ. They are the tangible re-sults of Christ’s work. They have become children of God.

Just as the apostles car-ried a blessing for those who welcomed them, be-lievers who are doing the work of Christ also carry blessings for those who

would receive them. Be-lievers today can carry hope for the hopeless, meaning and understand-ing for those who have no purpose, and love for the broken and empty.

The work of believers to-day is still very important to the kingdom of God. It stands to reason that God still values when others show kindness to those laboring for the fruition of his work. A cup of cold wa-ter still matters.

If it still matters to God, it should still matter to you.

SUMMER WEATHER, MICE & RE-RUNS

By Kathleen Perry Summer is here

but you can’t tell it by the weather! I can’t decide whether to turn on the furnace or the Air! For the past week or so, the heat has been in the nineties, al-most unbearable. Days like this make you really thank-ful for the Air conditioner. But lately when night falls, I have been known to crank up the heat.

Then I remember when I was growing up, we didn’t have AC or even a fan! Then I begin to feel like a wimp. But a grateful wimp.

Quite often this spring and summer, it of-ten clouds up and rains at the drop of a hat! Afternoon showers are quite common in Menifee County. One good thing about the show-ers is that you don’t have to water your flowers or other plants when it rains! Great!

Enough about the weather.

A few days ago, while minding my own business and watching an old TV re-run, a mouse suddenly came from behind the couch a few feet from me and ran into the kitchen! Oh! My goodness!

I was in luck as I re-membered where I had put the mouse traps a couple of years ago when we had last used them. I thought the one I had caught at that time was the end of that bunch. Wrong! Or maybe it’s a new family of them!

I checked the house over for possible places a mouse could get in. Found two places in the kitchen and then set the traps there, with a dab of peanut butter on each one.

The next morning I could barely wait to see if I had caught anything! When I rounded the cor-

ner into the kitchen, there was only ONE trap in sight! Upon investigating, I found the other trap about three feet way….with a LIVE mouse in it! A mouse is not my most feared pest, but it comes in a close second!!!

How do you get rid of a live mouse in a trap???

I very gingerly picked up the trap, threw it out on the porch and then done-it-in, in ways I won’t describe.

I asked for and got advice on how to plug up those holes the mouse had used to get into the kitch-en.

I followed up by ordering from Wal Mart a couple of tubes of aero-sol insulation which was delivered in two days. To-morrow I will carefully fill those two holes with this goop and pray that it is mouse proof!

In the meantime, today I’ll just mind my own business and see if I can find a good re-run that I haven’t seen more than a couple of times!

With high overall voter turn-out thanks to early in-person voting, generous use of mail-in absentee voting, and single polling locations in each county to counter-act the spread of the coronavirus pandemic, Ken-tucky’s June primary election will be one to be remembered.

Statewide voter turnout was 28.87 %, with just over 1 million

out of 3.4 million voters cast-ing ballots during this unusual primary election. This was the second largest primary turn-out next to the 2008 primary.

The primary results set the field for this year’s high-stakes November 3 general election.

Donald Trump received 86.65 percent of the Republi-can votes in the Presidential primary, with no other can-didates filing this year, while Democrat Joe Biden receiving 67.91 percent of Democratic votes in what was a crowded field until most of the candi-dates had thrown their sup-

port to Biden in the last several weeks.

Senator Mitch McConnell easily secured the statewide Republican nomination with 82.8 percent, easily defeating his competitors. He will face Democratic candidate Amy McGrath in November, who had 45.4 percent of Democrat-ic votes and who fended off a late campaign surge of support from Charles Booker, who took 42.6 percent of the total votes in that race.

6th Congressional District Representative Andy Barr won the Republican primary race

with 90.74 percent of the vote, while Democrat Josh Hicks defeated opponent Daniel Kemph with 72.36 percent of the vote. Barr and Hicks will face off for the 6th District seat in November, along with Lib-ertarian candidate Frank Har-ris, who ran unopposed in the primary.

In other state-wide races of local interest:

* Long-serving 21st District State Senator Albert Robinson was defeated in the Republican primary by challenger Bran-don Jackson Storm. Democrat Walter Trebolo III ran unop-

posed int the primary and will face off against Storm in the fall. The 21st Senate District includes Bath, Menifee, Pow-ell, Estill, Jackson, and Laurel Counties.

* 72nd District State Repre-sentative Matthew Koch ran unopposed in the Republican Primary. In November he will face a Democratic candidate Todd Neace, who also ran un-opposed in the primary. The 72nd District includes Bath, Bourbon, Fayette (Part), and Nicholas Counties.

All vote totals remain unof-ficial.

Field set for November general election

Each year, millions of peo-ple transition to Medicare. Medicare is a national health coverage program in the United States which provides insurance to people aged 65 or older, people with disability status as determined by the Social Security Administra-tion or with end stage renal disease. For many, the CO-VID-19 pandemic has signifi-cantly altered people’s plans regarding how and when they will transition to Medi-care. Many who planned to continue working past 65 and maintain their employment insurance, therefore delaying Medicare, were forced to re-tire or may have lost their job due to the pandemic. Whether your transition to Medicare was long-planned or a more-sudden change, it is important to speak with your local SHIP

counselor for expert advice on transitioning well.

Medicare is organized into four main parts: Medicare Parts A, B, C and D. Medi-care Part A covers you dur-ing in-patient hospital stays and is commonly referred to as, “hospital” insurance. Part B covers your out-patient procedures, durable medical equipment and other doctors' services and tests and is gen-erally referred to as, “medical coverage.” Part C Medicare is often referred to as Medicare Advantage Plans or Medicare Replacement plans. Medicare Advantage Plans are an “all in one” alternative to Original Medicare and “bundle” your Part A and B benefits along with prescription drug ben-efits. These plans come with unique benefits and restric-tions. Finally, Medicare Part

D is stand-alone prescription drug insurance.

Original Medicare, Parts A and B, covers a person on Medicare at 80%. The remain-ing 20% is called co-insurance or cost-sharing and is the re-sponsibility of the person on Medicare to pay. However, for those on Original Medicare, Medigap plans (also referred to as Medicare Supplement Insurance) are available to “fill in the coverage gap” of what original Medicare does not pay. Private insurance companies sell standardized plans that provide additional coverage to people on Medi-care. There is time-sensitive information you should know when starting Medicare for the first time regarding Me-digap policies.

Without help, the transi-tion to Medicare can seem

scary and complex. That is why trained SHIP Staff are available to help you under-stand what you need to know. Choosing incorrectly, or wait-ing too long to choose, could result in penalties later in life.

If you are transitioning to Medicare or have questions, contact SHIP. Your local SHIP Program is funded to help you connect with money-saving benefits that those on Medi-care are entitled to receive – such as extra help and the Medicare Savings Program! SHIP is NOT an insurance company and does not sell insurance.

Mortgage Applications Made Easy!You can now apply online for a mortgage from the convenience of your home or on your phone.

One rare afternoon a few years ago when I had noth-ing to do, I found myself in one of the more isolated parts of the county and stumbled upon an aban-doned but nicely built two-story house.

It must have once been something to see but, like most things, had fallen on hard times.

Wide open doors and windows, a giant pile of trash in the yard, and waist-high weeds told me that no one appeared to be living there, so out of simple cu-riosity I let myself inside to look around.

The most recent occu-pants had apparently just up and left because the house was still full of fur-niture, clothing, piles of junk mail, toys, and other assorted items. The for-mer life of its residents was strewn before me in every nook and cranny.

I walked up the central stairway and onto the sec-ond floor. It was humid day, and the upstairs was oppressively hot. I looked out several of the upstairs windows – gorgeous views on all sides. The second floor, too, was full of left-overs and forgotten pieces

of life. It was, like most aban-

doned things, a riddle with no answer.

I have stumbled upon many abandoned homes out in the woods on my rambles, rotting, used as storage, filled with similar items of former residents. They are but curiosities to most people, earning only a shrug of the shoulders before moving on with their own lives.

As the sweat burned my eyes that day inside the two-story home, I paused for a few more minutes and studied the solidly built walls around and thought about how a place like this

had become . . . unused and discarded and ulti-mately, abandoned.

It made me think back to the housing market crash in the late 2000s – a little over a decade ago, not so long, really – and all of the unoccupied, unpaid-for, and unfinished homes that came to dot the landscape of our country.

When I was a Census worker in 2009, checking addresses for the following year’ activities, I found my-self at the iron front gate of a recently-built brick man-sion on Iron Works Pike in Fayette County. Weeds grew in the yard, the front gate was chained and pad-

locked, and despite the residence’s distance from the road, I could still see straight through the grand glassed-in front entrance, through the empty home, and into the back yard. I marveled and puzzled at what was before me.

It is a chain of wonder that connects many dif-ferent times in my life, and many different places I’ve lived. I saw the same things as a teenager explor-ing the woods and bottoms

around my home, or living on the outskirts of Lexing-ton in the early 1990s, or walking on a country road in Western Massachusetts in the mid-2000s. I see der-elict homes each day I now drive to the office.

I returned to the same place not so long ago in my travels and discovered that the old two-story home had been leveled, and the place looked as if it had never existed.

I wonder if it was a coin-

cidence that some photos I had taken while inside the home had also been accidently erased shortly after I had taken them, as if some larger forces of fate decided to wipe away all traces of the place in all but my own memory.

I have gazed out the windows of many of these abandoned places, wonder-ing why, and receiving no answer, I rambled on.

At dawn, almost exactly 135 years ago to this very day, as June slowly swirled into July; Events in Rowan County took a violent turn.

On the early morning of June 28, 1885, Sue Martin and Ben Rayburn stepped out of the large, two-story, Martin Family farmhouse, near the confluence of Christy and East Triplett Creeks, and crept stealth-ily to the back yard to where a bee hive was situ-ated along the lower limbs of a large Burr Oak tree.

Sue Martin was “a bee charmer.”

“Why you wanna rob them poor old bees out of their Honey, Sue?” Ben Rayburn asked as Sue

climbed into the lower branches of the tree. “Them poor bees ain’t done nary a thing to you?”

“Well, I’ll tell ya,” she replied, as she eased back down out of the tree with a wooden dish full of honey. “It’s on account of my hon-ey, Cook Humphrey, who likes a little bit of honey from his honey, from time to time,” she said will an easy laugh.

About that time Ray-burn received a sting from a not-too-happy bee and he began complaining something awful, dancing around in the back yard swatting at bees, which seemed to single him out without paying any atten-tion to Sue. When he was clear of the bees and back near the house he com-plained long and loud.

“You make more of a commotion about a little old bee sting than if the entire Tolliver Gang were after you,” Sue Martin said with another laugh; and though she and Rayburn were completely unaware of it, at that very moment, Craig Tolliver, Thomas Day, Jeff Bowling, John

Trumbo, Bob Messer and H.M. Keaton, had their re-spective rifles and pistols aimed directly at the two as they took the overflow-ing bowl of honey from the yard and entered the back door of the Martin home.

Within moments shots were fired into the Mar-tin home and the demand for the surrender of Cook Humphrey and anyone else inside was ordered.

Sue Martin hollered back that there were no men present but having just seen a man with her near the bee hive, Craig Tolliver knew it was a ruse and as the group of men sent a few more volleys of gunfire into the two-story home, he and Jeff Bowling stormed through the front door and began searching the house.

Finding several of the Martin women present, but no sign of any man, Craig Tolliver started up the stair steps to search the second floor. Just as he cleared the last step and made his way into a room, he was met with a load of buckshot, fired point blank at him from Cook Hum-

phrey. Most of the buck-shot struck the stock of his Tolliver’s rifle, but several shots passed into his hand, his arm, his chest and his face.

The force of the blast knocked him back down the stairs, where Jeff Bowl-ing caught him as he fell, and half-dragged, half-car-ried him back out the front door as the firing from the Tolliver posse intensified.

The Martin sisters: Sue, Annie, Rena, Hattien and another sister, the wife of Richard Tussey, who lived within 200 yards of the Martin’s house, also arrived on the scene and fainted during the initial gunfire.

Sue Martin yelled out to Craig Tolliver if she could have permission to fetch a doctor for her sister and she was denied, but that did little to stop her and she leapt out a window and ran to Morehead, with sev-eral well-placed shots strik-ing near as she ran.

Craig Tolliver rode his horse into Morehead and arrested Sue Martin when she arrived

Another writ for the ar-

rest of Humphrey was penned; this one for shoot-ing Morehead Town Mar-shall, Craig Tolliver.

As the hours wore on and Sue Martin didn’t re-turn, her sister, Annie, became alarmed and also snuck out of the house and ran into Morehead. Within minutes of her arrival she was sharing a jail cell with her sister, Sue.

Another group of armed Tolliver members returned to the Martin House about the same time that Cook Humphrey and Ben Ray-burn decided to make a run for it.

Hattie Martin had ex-ited the home and shoved Thomas Day when Ray-burn and Humphrey jumped out a window. Day was decidedly the best shot among them and Hat-tie’s maneuver spoiled his shot and likely saved Cook Humphrey’s life.

Other men fired how-ever and Ben Rayburn fell, seriously wounded about 100 yards from the home.

From his hiding place in the weeds, Cook Hum-phrey watched as the men of the Tolliver Gang walked

up to Rayburn and shot him several more times before going through his pockets and divvying up his valuables.

Shortly after that, against the pleads of old Mrs. Martin, the mother of the household, who had re-turned from a funeral dur-ing the gunfire, the Martin House was set on fire and the women were kept from retrieving any of their be-longings.

Newly-appointed Deputy Sheriff, Fantly Muse rode to Flemingsburg, and tele-graphed for assistance from the state militia.

Soon three companies of the state’s militia were on a train, bound for Morehead along with Governor Knott and the state’s adjutant general.

Their presence would see a temporary peace once again descend upon the hills surrounding Morehead, but like before, that peace would soon be shattered.

To be continued.

The Owingsville Volunteer Fire Department hosted their 2nd annual Fields and Wheels of Fire Car Show at the Ow-ingsville/Bath County Athletic Complex on Saturday af-ternoon. The event drew car enthusiasts for all across the state, and the top cars were recognized with unique awards created by Kentucky Metal Designs and Powder Coating. There were concessions, a dunking booth, and fireworks to bring the event to a close. Fire Chief Chris Hall wanted to thank everyone who came out for their support as well as I-64 Motorplex for hosting their Arm Drop Drag Race ear-lier in the day, which raised $1400 for Shriner’s Hospital for Children in Lexington, along with help from the Olympian Springs Volunteer Fire Department. “Despite the rain and the coronavirus pandemic, it turned out to be a pretty good day,” Chief Hall said.

Bath County Fiscal Court members may have held their last videoconference meeting last Friday in an-ticipating of the reopening of government facilities in the wake of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic.

During a special called meeting, Judge Executive Bobby Rogers told court members that county of-fices in the old courthouse, including the County Clerk, were planning on opening on Monday, July 6. Until now, the County Clerk’s office has been open by ap-pointment only or through a back window in the court-house.

Under Gov. Andy Bes-hear’s Healthy at Work phased reopening plan, local government offices could start reopening July 1, with safety measures in place.

Judge Rogers said, “We should be meeting in per-son for our July meeting,” which is scheduled for Thursday, July 9, at 10 a.m. at the courthouse annex.

Social distancing will be in effect when people enter the courthouse, and masks will be required to be worn. Hand sanitizer will be made available, Rogers said, but temperatures will not be taken at the door.

In other matters at the special called meeting, court members also:

* discussed a lease agreement with Worldwide Trucking for a new dump truck, and agreed to re-visit the matter at the July 9 meeting

* were informed that the low water bridge at Black Sulphur Road qualifies for the state’s 80/20 bridge plan

* paid invoices to Valerie Donathan for $1500 for 6 weeks of cleaning at the old courthouse and to the Lexington Fayette Urban County Government for the 911 Network agreement for $2965 to come out of the 911 fund.

* accepted the two lowest

bids on road salt from Car-gill ($72.90/ton) and from Detroit Salt (72.99/ton)

* reviewed changes to the county’s administrative code, which included defi-nitions of part-time and full-time employees, removal of compensatory time, and requiring jails to submit ap-plications for the county to pay for inmate medical ex-penses

* approved an annual lease agreement with the Gateway District Health Department for $1925 a month for their building on Treadway Avenue

* pro-rated an annual uni-form allowance for recently hired county road depart-ment employee Bill Banks for $200

* approved a second read-ing of a budget amendment

* approved year-end ap-propriation ledger transfers to clear up the county’s ac-counts at the end of the current fiscal year in the amount of $43,272.

Kentucky Senator Mitch McConnell made a stop last Friday afternoon at St. Claire Medical Center to praise the hospital’s staff for their struggles during the COVID-19 coronavi-rus pandemic and to tout over $25 million in federal funding the hospital has re-ceived this year.

Sen. McConnell was welcomed to the Center for Health, Education, and Research’s Demoss Suite by St. Claire HealthCare President and CEO Donald H. Lloyd, II, Chief Medical Officer Dr. Will Mehlan, and Associate Chief Nurs-ing Officer Courtney Hol-lingsworth, before a small group of staff, local offi-cials, and reporters.

McConnell, who is run-ning for reelection this year, is the longest-serving Republican Senate Major Leader and the longest serving Senator from Ken-tucky. He was selected by Time magazine in 2015 as one of the world’s 100 most influential people. His wife, Elaine Chao, current-ly serves as the US Secre-tary of Transportation.

McConnell has been touring health care facili-ties across the state since he began making public appearances again last month.

“The main reason I’m here is to thank these peo-ple,” Sen. McConnell said, referring to the hospital’s frontline staff.

He said that 2020 has been “a most unusual year” beginning with the impeachment trial of Pres. Donald Trump and moving into the COVID-19 corona-virus pandemic.

He noted that the na-tion’s economy went from being the best in 50 years to looking like the Great Depression in two months, due to government eco-nomic shutdowns.

He helped to craft the third and largest econom-ic stimulus package from Congress, the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act, which has provided $17.4 million in additional fund-ing to St. Claire during the pandemic, including an an-nouncement the previous day of $7.8 million.

“No action was not an op-tion,” McConnell said.

Hospitals, including St. Claire, have struggled fi-nancially during the coro-navirus pandemic, espe-cially with restrictions on elective procedures. St. Claire announced on March 26 it was furlough-ing 300 employees not di-rectly involved in patient care to maintain its finan-cial stability.

Dr. Mehlan called the CARES Act “a lifeline” to the hospital during the pandemic.

McConnell also noted that he had advocated for the hospital to receive a $900,000 grant from the Dept. of Health and Hu-man Services earlier this month to help respond to the opioid addiction crisis in Eastern Kentucky. He and Gov. Andy Beshear also announced this week a $338 million settlement with the Centers for Medi-care & Medicaid Services (CMS) following a 13 year dispute over Medicaid funding rates. St. Claire is slated to receive $7.2 mil-lion as its portion of the settlement.

McConnell also pointed out other funding received

through CARES Act in Morehead and Rowan County included $6 mil-lion for Morehead State University, $67,000 for local housing programs, and $30,000 for the More-head-Rowan County Clyde Thomas Regional airport.

The overall impact of the CARES Act across the state has been $12 billion.

“Where do we go from here,” McConnell asked. “It’s not over yet,” refer-ring to the pandemic.

He noted that schools are now making plans to open in the fall, and there are encouraging signs of economic growth.

Another potential eco-nomic stimulus package will be based on how well the economy is doing mid-July, McConnell said. It will include liability pro-tections for health care providers, businesses, schools, and government to prevent what he called a potential “epidemic of law-

suits” in the wake of the coronavirus.

He said the overall theme for a future stimu-lus bill will be “kids, jobs, and healthcare,” but “it won’t be three trillion dollars,” referring to the Health and Economic Re-covery Omnibus Emer-gency Solutions (HE-ROES) Act passed by the House of Representatives in May.

McConnell also said that the coronavirus pandemic has returned focus to the importance of future sup-port for rural broadband internet access.

He also noted during his press conference the importance of wearing a mask and practicing social distancing to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

“Until we find a vaccine, these are truly important,” McConnell said, “For pro-tecting ourselves and oth-ers.”

County Attorney Kim Price said in an interview last month that drag strips are regarded as “places of en-tertainment” under state law and as such require a permit to operate, with the county judge-executive to set their hours of operations.

Price said she informed Baldridge of the permit re-quirement last September after she was approached by a local resident who com-plained of the track operating into the early morning hours of Sunday earlier in the sum-mer.

Baldridge said in an earlier interview that he does not think the track requires an entertainment permit to op-erate and knew of no other track in the state that needed to have one.

Baldridge had a meeting with Judge Rogers on May 21 to discuss reopening the track during the COVID-19 pandemic and to discuss the permit requirement and oper-ating hours.

At that time, Rogers and Baldridge said they agreed to more generous set of hours – 6 to 11 p.m. on Fridays, Noon to 1 a.m. on Saturdays, 1 to 6 p.m. on Sundays, and on holi-day weekends such as July 4 and Labor Day, 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Mondays.

Rogers also said he agreed at that time to allow racing at the track until the permit could be issued as a required public hearing.

Baldridge filed the appli-cation at the Bath County Clerk’s Office the same day and a public hearing regard-ing the permit application was scheduled for June 25.

Racing took place over Memorial Day weekend, but both County Attorney Price and Judge Rogers both said they heard complaints that racing continued past agreed-upon hours on Saturday night. That’s when the State Police detective paid a visit to Baldridge.

During the June 25 pub-lic hearing, approximately 63 people called in to Zoom. Over 20 of the callers were drag racers from Ohio, Ken-tucky, and West Virginia, as well as few local residents and they expressed their sup-port for granting the permit to reopen the track.

Several said they consid-ered the I-64 Motorplex their “home track” and looked forward to the family atmo-sphere at the track. They also said they spend money at local gas stations and res-taurants

Only one individual spoke in opposition, Larry Bowling, who said he was not opposed to people racing but simply wanted the track to operate within “reasonable hours” so local residents could sleep, at-tend church, and enjoy their lives at home. He said he sup-ported the “original hours” of the track, which were set in 1995, as “more than reason-able.”

During the public meeting, Baldridge requested that he be allowed to open the track seven days a week, including racing on the weekends and allowing racers to work on their cars during the week.

Baldridge also asked Rog-ers during the meeting if they could meet in person later and “work something out,” but County Attorney Price, who was moderating the meeting, said this meeting was what is required for the permit.

Judge Rogers signed and issued the permit later that afternoon. The permit noted that Baldridge had been ad-vised of the need for the per-mit in September 2019 and that the Bath County Clerk’s office had been open by mail or through a window.

It also noted that, while many racers spoke in favor of the track, “No local busi-ness person spoke as to any business they received or did not receive from the drag strip.” It further noted that at least two individuals during the meeting had identified themselves as track employ-ees, but that Baldridge had not filed an occupational tax

report or submitted occupa-tional tax payments for those employees. The permit fur-ther said that some claimed during the meeting that the track had paid Bath County Ambulance Service $20,000 a year, but records showed that they had received only $14,500.

The permit also stated that a document was filed, pur-suant to the entertainment permit statute (KRS 231), requesting that if a permit was granted the hours of op-eration should be those origi-nally set by the Fiscal Court in 1995.

The News-Outlook ob-tained this document, which had signatures from 114 people and stated: “This let-ter is written in reference to the I-64 Motorplex. We be-lieve the Drag Strip should obey by the rules/regula-tions that were set in place when the place of business was established. The hours of operation are from Satur-day 12:00 PM until 1:00 AM Sunday morning. On Sunday they can restart their opera-tion hours at 1:00 PM until 6:00 PM.

“By these hours being set and enforced during these times it will allow churches to enjoy their services, activi-ties at the Sports Complex to be more enjoyable and allow people who reside around the Motorplex to enjoy their property.”

Judge Rogers granted the permit to Baldridge to oper-ate the track at the stated hours and made the permit conditional on filing an occu-pational tax report and pay-ing any occupational taxes as well as entering into a written contract with the Bath Coun-ty Ambulance Board for their services at the track.

A previously-scheduled street car fundraiser race by the Owingsville Volunteer Fire Department for Shri-ner’s Hospital for Children in Lexington was held on Sat-urday at the track, but rainy weather on Saturday after-noon and Sunday called off last weekend’s racing at the track.

County Clerks across Kentucky began filing their unofficial final primary election results last week with a deadline of this Tuesday at 6 p.m. with the Kentucky Board of Elections.

In-person voting ended last Tuesday, but clerks had to wait until all mailed-in absentee ballots that were postmarked by June 23 had arrived at their offices to be counted.

Kentucky voters were given from June 8 through June 23 to vote in-person or to mail in an ab-sentee ballot, to reduce crowds due to the ongoing coronavirus pan-demic. Counties across the state had only a single polling place for in-person voting.

Menifee County’s voter turnout was 28.28 percent, with 1594 bal-lots cast, compared with 28.87 per-cent across the state.

Here are the final unofficial totals for Menifee County for this year’s primary election, courtesy of County Clerk Krystal Chapman:

Political newcomer Bran-don Storm pulled out a big win over long-serving State Senator Albert Robinson in the June primary election.

Robinson faced primary opposition from Storm as well as Kay Hensley.

Storm won the race with 6875 votes, or 38.1 percent; Robinson had 34.52 per-cent, and Hensley, 26.78 percent.

All three Republican can-didates are attorneys from

London, in Laurel County. Robinson has served as

21st District State Senator from 1995 to 2005 and was elected again in 2013.

The 21st Senate District includes Laurel, Jackson, Estill, Powell, Menifee, and Bath Counties.

According to unofficial primary results from the State Board of Elections on Tuesday, Storm won big in Laurel County with 5114 votes, while Robinson had 2977, and Hensley, 2866.

Robinson carried all other counties in the Dis-trict in the primary, includ-ing Bath County with 224 votes, while Hensley had

181, and Storm, 124, as well as in Menifee County, Robinson had 250 votes, Hensley, 110, and Storm, 113.

Powell County was the last county to release their election results on Tues-

day, with Robinson getting 455 votes, Hensley 275, and Storm, 192.

Other unofficial 21st State Senate District re-sults were:

* Jackson County: Rob-inson, 1242; Hensley, 771;

and Storm, 746* Estill County: Robin-

son, 983; Storm, 596; and Hensley, 553

Storm will face Demo-cratic candidate Walter Trebolo III in the Novem-ber general election.

Sitting 21st Circuit Judge David Allen Barber and challenger Elizabeth Davis both appeared to receive the most votes during this June’s primary election.

Unofficial vote totals were received by the Ken-tucky Secretary of State’s Office on Tuesday indicate that Barber received 4730 votes, while Davis received 4421 votes.

These top two vote-get-ters in this non-partisan election will face off again during the November gen-eral election.

The 21st Circuit includes Bath, Menifee, Montgom-ery, and Rowan Coun-ties. The Division 2 seat was formerly occupied by

Judge Beth Maze, who an-nounced her resignation last October.

Gov. Andy Beshear ap-pointed David Barber to the fill the vacancy on April 22 following a recommen-dation by the 21st Circuit Judicial Nominating Com-mission. Both Elizabeth Davis and Stephen Neal were also among the three names submitted to Gov. Beshear for consideration.

Before being appointed

to the judge’s seat, Barber was in private practice with the law firm of Richardson, Barber & Williamson. He has served as a Supreme Court justice, a legal advi-sor for the Kentucky Gen-eral Assembly and oversaw cases as a member of the Retired Judges Program. He received his juris doctor from the University of Lou-isville Louis D. Brandeis School of Law.

This week a 2020 Freight-liner truck equipped with a 3400 gallon water tank and stamped with the logo of Menifee County Fire/Rescue shipped out on a lowboy trailer from Que-bec, Canada, heading for Frenchburg.

This new truck is the lat-est addition to the Menifee County Fire & Rescue set of tools to provide fire pro-tection for the county.

The Menifee County Fire Protection District Board has been through some choppy waters in recent years, and the number of volunteer fire fighters has declined, but a new set of board members now feels confident that they are moving forward to provide the best service for the citi-zens of the county.

The board was disband-ed in 2018 by the Menifee County Fiscal Court and re-

organized after it was found to not be in compliance with state fire department regulations.

The current board con-sists of chairman James Hagerman, co-chairman David Lawson, treasurer Tracy Trimble, A.J. Ste-vens, and Jeremy Patrick.

Menifee County Fire and Rescue is now led by Chief Jason “Tuffy” Hunley.

Board chairman Hager-man said in an interview this week that they were extremely fortunate to be able to purchase the new tanker truck to replace an aging tanker truck that was no longer up to standard.

The new truck was pur-chased for $190,270, with financing through Tradi-tional Bank, and with a sav-ings for nearly $100,000 for a new vehicle, because it was purchased in Canada.

Hagerman said the board has also purchased new Jaws of Life to use to

Truck Equipment & Body Co. of Kentucky Inc. this week began a $2 million project renovating and equipping a facility in Stanton to establish a 43-job custom dump truck body and truck equipment manufacturing operation.

“Ensuring Kentuckians have quality job opportu-nities is perhaps more im-portant than ever, and we at the state level are doing all we can to create and strengthen new and exist-ing business relationships to make that possible,” Gov. Andy Beshear said. “TEBCO of Kentucky has been a reliable employer in the commonwealth for nearly 30 years, and its continued growth is a clear boost to the East-ern Kentucky region. Our thanks go to the company for its commitment to the state and its dedicated workforce.”

Located at 100 Reed Court in Stanton, the new 40,000-square-foot opera-tion will allow TEBCO of Kentucky to better sup-port its rapidly growing customer base. The op-eration will use state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment for steel and aluminum cutting and forming as well as pro-vide in-house engineering space. The new location could increase the com-pany’s current production capacity by four times in the coming years, while also improving quality control measures. Compa-ny leaders anticipate the facility will be operational by Q3 2020.

“Despite these difficult and uncertain times, TEB-CO of Kentucky’s man-agement team remains confident about the fu-ture and is pleased to an-nounce this expansion of our current operations,”

said Brandon Faulkner, vice president and general manager of TEBCO of Kentucky. “We are grate-ful to Gov. Beshear, the commonwealth of Ken-tucky, Powell County, the city of Stanton, Powell County Industrial Devel-opment Authority and state agencies such as the Kentucky Economic De-velopment Financing Au-thority and the Kentucky Skills Network for their support of this project. We would also like to thank Madison County and the city of Richmond for their unwavering support and assistance over the years. We look forward to creat-ing new innovative prod-ucts in the dump truck body market as well as other markets, increas-ing service to new and existing customers, and creating new employment opportunities for nearly 50 Kentucky families in the Eastern Kentucky re-gion.”

Headquartered in Rich-mond, TEBCO of Ken-tucky was established in 1991 to produce custom dump truck bodies and other truck equipment. In addition to its Richmond facility, the family-owned company operates a loca-tion in Winchester. TEB-CO of Kentucky currently employs approximately 50 Kentuckians and serves a range of industries includ-ing mining, aggregate and construction and indus-trial among others.

Sen. Albert Robinson, of London, said the project comes at a crucial time for the region and state.

“This investment by TEBCO of Kentucky does more than just bring doz-ens of jobs into the Stan-ton community,” Sen. Robinson said. “With the investment comes a sense

of stability and hope that I am certain the people of the 21st Senate District, and all of Kentucky, need right now. I am grateful to companies like TEBCO of Kentucky for keeping our economy moving by pro-ducing high-caliber equip-ment that businesses in Kentucky and across the United States need.”

Rep. David Hale, of Wel-lington, said the company has a long history in Ken-tucky.

“Truck Equipment & Body Co. of Kentucky has economically impact-ed this commonwealth since 1991 and continues to grow,” Rep. Hale said. “TEBCO of Kentucky’s new $2 million investment will enhance Stanton and surrounding communi-ties by providing more op-portunities for economic growth and higher paying jobs.”

Stanton Mayor Dale Al-len welcomed the invest-ment and job growth.

“I am very excited about the new job opportuni-ties coming to Stanton,” Mayor Allen said. “What a great boost it will be to our economy. We wel-come Mike Faulkner and the TEBCO of Kentucky company home to Powell County.”

Powell County Judge-Executive James Ander-son said the TEBCO of Kentucky’s arrival will boost the local workforce.

“I am truly appreciative for the job opportunities this project will bring to our county,” Judge-Exec-utive Anderson said. “This project is a symbol of hope for the future in an uncer-tain time. I look forward to the positive economic impact it will have on our county.”

Craig Dawson, Powell County Industrial Devel-

opment Authority direc-tor, said the project repre-sents a great opportunity.

“We appreciate the im-pact the TEBCO of Ken-tucky project will have on our local economy,” Daw-son said. “This is a great opportunity for our com-munity.”

To encourage the invest-ment and job growth in the community, the Ken-tucky Economic Develop-ment Finance Authority (KEDFA) in March pre-liminarily approved a 15-year incentive agreement with the company under the Kentucky Business Investment program. The performance-based agree-ment can provide up to $750,000 in tax incentives based on the company’s investment of $2 million and annual targets of:• Creation and

maintenance of 43 Ken-tucky-resident, full-time jobs across 15 years• Payinganaverage

hourly wage of $17 includ-ing benefits across those jobs

By meeting its annual targets over the agree-ment term, the company can be eligible to keep a portion of the new tax revenue it generates. The company may claim eli-gible incentives against its income tax liability and/or wage assessments.

In addition, TEBCO can receive resources from the Kentucky Skills Network. Through the Kentucky Skills Network, companies can receive no-cost recruitment and job placement services, reduced-cost customized training and job training incentives.

TEBCO of Kentucky to Create 40-Plus Jobs in Eastern Kentuckyhelp extract accident vic-tims trapped in cars. The new Jaws of Life sets cost $20,000 and are battery-operated, making their op-eration more consistent in cold weather than hydrau-lic models.

The Fire Department also has replaced their old radios with a new digital communications system for $55,000.

The board also has plans to get a newer brush truck for the Botts Fire Station and use the existing bed/box.

The board was able to do all this, according to Hager-man, because board mem-bers cleared up all their old debt and completed an au-dit of their books.

He credits County Judge Executive Rick Stiltner with taking the time to choose

good members for the Fire Board and taking an inter-est in improving fire pro-tection for the county.

He said Judge Stiltner and the Fire Department have also been working diligently to secure mutual aid agreements with sur-rounding counties to im-prove fire response within the county.

“I can’t say enough about the good job Rick has done as well as his support,” Hagerman said.

The Menifee County Fire Protection District Board meets the first Monday of the month at the French-burg Fire Station at 7 p.m.

If you are interested in becoming a volunteer fire-fighter, you are encour-aged to contact Chief Hun-ley at 859-404-4125 or stop by one of the four county fire stations and pick up an application.
