This past Saturday mem-bers of the Bath County Ambulance Service said goodbye to a long-time EMT upon his retirement after almost three decades on the job.

Bill Hornback got a send-off from his colleagues for 27 years of service to the community.

He said that he started out with the Bath County

Rescue Squad in the 1990s and decided that he want-ed take up his skill level a step further by becoming an EMT.

Ambulance personnel see a lot of tragedy and suf-fering on the job, but they also save lives. Bill has certainly seen his share.

Hornback said his most memorable experience was a very serious wreck where children were in-volved. He was brought an infant to care for, but it lost its life due to injuries.

That stayed with him and made him strive to be

better at his job of caring for people.

Improvements in equip-ment, technology, and medicine over the years for emergency care have certainly helped with that.

Until 2011 and the advent of the power lift stretcher, Hornback and his fellow EMTS and paramedics had to use their muscle power to lift patients in and out of the truck.

After a long career of public service to the Bath County community, Horn-back said he will miss seeing his co-workers at

the Ambulance Service and helping the citizens of Bath County.

Despite his retirement, Bill said he does not plan on sitting still for long. Af-ter three months, he will resume his job as a Deputy Sheriff, a position which he has also held for 21 years.

The News-Outlook con-gratulates Bill on his re-tirements and thanks him for years of dedicated ser-vice to this community.

On Monday Owingsville Mayor Gary Hunt, along with Miss Bath County 2020 Victoria Otis, signed a proclamation de-claring September as Alzheimer’s Awareness Month. Alzheimer’s is a progressive, degenerative disease of the brain causing memory loss and impaired thinking, judg-ment, and behavior. It is the 6th leading cause of death for older adults and is the most common form of dementia. Deaths from Alzheimer’s have increased by 146 percent in the past two decades. The number of people with the dis-ease is expected to increase by 15 percent in the next five years. Victoria asks everyone to join in her efforts for Alzheim-er’s Awareness by placing a purple ribbon on your home or mailbox and on Saturday, September 12 to turn on your porch lights from 6-8 pm for Alzheimer’s Awareness! Also, please follow Victoria’s Alzheimer’s Awareness page on In-stagram at @shinealight_victoriaotis.

There have been 34 new COVID-19 coronavirus re-ported since last Tuesday in the five county Gateway Health District, as of Sep-tember 1.

This week’s total is down from a record 54 new cases reported last week (Au-gust 19 – 25).

During the month of Au-gust the Gateway District Health Department report-ed a total of 153 new cases in Bath, Elliott, Menifee, Morgan, and Rowan Coun-ties.

New cases reported this week by county are: Bath, 6; Elliott, 5; Menifee, 1 (no new cases reported since August 28); Morgan, 5; and Rowan, 21, including 9 from Morehead State Uni-versity.

As of September 1, the Kentucky Department of Public Health has report-ed a total of 339 cases for the Gateway District since March.

Total cases reported for each county as of Septem-ber 1 are: Bath, 66; Elliott, 25; Menifee, 34; Morgan, 47; and Rowan, 167.

The new cases come amidst the return to virtual learning for most counties across the state last week, the start of on-campus classes at Morehead State University, and the start of fall sports practices last week.

Gov. Andy Beshear said during this past Sunday’s coronavirus update, “With today’s 462 new positive

cases of COVID-19, this last week has been our single largest week ever for new cases of COVID: 4,503. It brings our total number of cases to date to 48,032,” the Governor said. “That means we have to do better. With this number of cases we see more people hospitalized, we see sadly more people being lost. So please wear your mask, please make good deci-sions. This is a time when this virus is spreading ag-gressively.”

The upcoming Labor Day weekend will be a time for many to enjoy outdoor recreational activities, but state officials urged cau-tion amidst the pandemic.

The state Commission-er for Public Health, Dr. Steven Stack, noted on Sunday, “What might be considered in Kentucky a ‘trifecta of holidays’ be-gins this coming Friday. Enjoy watching the fillies on Oaks Day this Friday. Watch the Kentucky Der-by, the 146th Run for the Roses, on Saturday. And, enjoy the entire Labor Day weekend. Just do it in ways that keep you and others safe. Stay Healthy at Home as much as you can. When you go out in public, please practice social distancing, wear a mask whenever you are near others, and wash your hands often. If we all do these things, we have a much better chance for safer, healthier fall and winter holidays with family and friends. These chang-es to our routines make an immense difference and save lives. Together, Team Kentucky can get through this.”

New Gateway coronavirus cases remain steady

Operation Christmas Child Fall “SuperStart” Event on September 12

A Bath County man, who police say was drunk, was in violation of an EPO/DVO, and shot at least two people at a local funeral home in March, was recently in-dicted on several felony charges.

Robert Wayne Ful-ton, Jr., 24, of Owings-

ville was indicted by members of an August 21, 2020 Rowan County Grand Jury on charges of alcohol intoxication inj a public place, 1st and 2nd offense; wanton endangerment, 1st de-gree-seven counts; and violation of a protection order.

According to the indict-ment, which was issued following the testimony of Morehead Police Offi-cer Bryant Furman, the alleged crimes occurred

on March 16, 2020 at approximately 6 pm at Lane Stuckey Funeral Home on Old Flemings-

burg Road.The indictment alleges

that Fulton was intoxi-cated and was in posses-

sion of a firearm at the time and the pistol fell from his vest when he was playing with a minor child.

The indictment fur-ther alleges that Fulton “shot it’ causing a bul-let to ricochet and strike Harley Ison in the foot; Santanna Fultz in the leg; struck near where Melissa Moore, Heather Ison, Nicholas Ison and Paula Richardson, were standing.

Fulton was initially ar-

rested and taken to the Rowan County Deten-tion Center on March 16, 2020. He was released the next day after post-ing $2,500 cash bond.

Fulton entered a not guilty plea in Rowan Cir-cuit Court to the charges and is scheduled to re-turn to court on Oct. 16, 2020.

All persons are to be presumed innocent until proven guilty or plead-ing guilty.

Let’s Reason TogetherBy Alton Norman - Owingsville Church of Christ

5410 E. Hwy. 60 East, Owingsville • 606-261-9263

The opinion page does not reflect the views of the KyNewsGroup.

The Message We Shared

Zeal

Zeal is good; but zeal alone is just enthusiasm run wild. I see this every time I watch a basketball game on TV. And the clos-er the score the louder the zealous fans. Religious zeal is good; but alone it is just a loud noise and I hear that on TV also!

Paul said, “My heart’s desire and prayer to God for Israel is that they may be saved, for I bear them witness that they have a zeal for God, but not ac-cording to knowledge. For being ignorant of God’s

righteousness and seeking to establish their own righ-teousness (they) have not submitted to the righteous-ness of God. For Christ is the end of the Law for righ-teousness to everyone who believes” (Romans 10:1-4).

Religious zeal must be coupled with knowledge and zeal without knowl-edge is a dangerous thing. Before becoming a Chris-tian, Paul was “exceedingly zealous for the traditions of my fathers” (Galatians 1:14). And in his zeal as a Jew, Paul persecuted the Lord and His church (Ga-latians 1:13). Paul said that

he had done this “ignorant-ly in unbelief” (1 Timothy 1:13).

The Jews had a zeal for God, but it was an ignorant zeal. They were zealous for the Law of Moses (Acts 22:3), and their ignorant zeal caused them to per-secute Paul in Jerusalem (read Acts 21 and 22).

Ignorant religious zeal is an ugly thing. The Jews of the first century were very zealous for God, but their zeal was not accord-ing to knowledge. Three things happened because of their ignorant zeal. First, they became disobedient

to God (Romans 10:3, 21). Second, they crucified Je-sus in their ignorant zeal (Acts 3:14-17). Third, they were “broken off” from the life-giving olive tree (Ro-mans 11:17-20).

Paul did not write to quell our zeal for God but that our zeal might be based on knowledge, “for Christ is the end of the Law for righteousness to every one who believes” (Ro-mans 10:4).

Thank you for reason-ing with me.

By Chris Bailey, PastorOwingsville Baptist

Church

For the Christian, there should be a great concern about the relationship one holds with fellow Chris-tians. We tend to discuss the “church family,” but the description given by scripture is that of being far more connected as part of “one body.”

In Romans 12:10, Paul wrote of the Christian’s relationship with fellow believers. He taught his

Christian readers to love and show preferential treatment to one another.

The verse has been translated with a variety of emphases, particularly regarding one word that is only used once in scrip-ture. Perhaps a very literal translation would begin with, “With brotherly love, love one another with the love that says you belong to each other.”

Surely today, we see the impact of when people for-get they belong to one an-other. Our nation is divided

because we have valued the political differences more than the fact that we are fellow Americans. Our culture is divided because our differences have mat-tered more than the fact that we are fellow citizens. Our families are divided because we have forgotten we are family. The list goes on and on. We cannot, in the church, allow our dif-ferences to matter more than the fact that we are one in the body of Christ.

Once we recognize that we are connected and be-

long to one another, we must exhibit the practical implication of this love. We must honor one another and show preferential treatment for each other.

We need to see the value each other has as children of God, members of the body of Christ, servants, witnesses, and caregivers. Recognizing that value, we see the importance of sup-porting, encouraging and enabling one another.

Do you care for your fel-low Christian? Do you care enough that it shows?

For all your mowing & tree trimming needs

WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER

By Kathleen Perry Whether you want

to believe it or not, a ma-jority of the schools in Kentucky have already started…. not the tradi-tional style in the school classroom, but virtual ones from the student’s homes!

We might as well get used to the idea be-cause as our Kentucky Governor Andy Beshear has said repeatedly….”We Are All In This To-gether!”

The Covid-19 Pan-demic, which is the title that’s been given to the horrendous virus that has swept the world this year of 2020, has made it nec-

essary for many changes to be made in an all-out ef-fort of self-preservation.

Whoever coined the phrase of us all being in this together probably didn’t realize just how true that would be as time rolled on. In addition to the effects the virus will have on us medically, the social changes that are necessary for the general public draws us all into one big circle.

In an effort to pro-vide all possible safety for the students, it was suggested that classes should not be held in-person, in the school buildings, but at home in a “home school” setting with parents at the helm with the aid of computer

equipment. These virtual class-

es will be something new for most students AND parents, and is something that most will learn to do…and enjoy! We can come out of this with a crop of hi-tech geniuses! Both kids AND parents!

This virtual school-ing may have a silver lin-ing. While the parents are teaching their kids at home, how about teach-ing them the Pledge of Allegiance and to salute the flag again? (And The Lord’s Prayer?)

A word of encour-agement for parents who wonder if their kids can do this. I can speak from experience and advise you not to under estimate

your children or grand-children!

I remember a few years back when I started school and how excited I was at the pros-pect of learning to read among other things! If we can keep that excite-ment alive in our students these days, it wont matter WHERE their classes are or that it’s their Mama do-ing the teaching!

This Covid-19 is a nasty thing that requires ALL our assistance in rid-ding the world of its’ pres-ence. More power to the School Systems for their participation.

And remember we’re all in this together!

We are spreading the news of your community.

And we can help spread the word about your business or

organization with advertising.* Non-profit rate available for churches.

“I’m like Bill Lee writin’ when he’s in Tangiers,

And now I’m on a soul safari with my Beatnik peers…”

-from the song “Bug Powder Dust,” by Bomb the Bass, 1994

“To glimpse one’s own true nature is a kind of homegoing, to a place East of the Sun, West of the Moon—the homego-ing that needs no home...”

- from The Snow Leop-ard (1978), by the late Pe-ter Matthiessen

“We should go forth on the shortest walk, per-chance, in the spirit of undying adventure, never to return; prepared to send back our embalmed hearts only, as relics to our desolate kingdoms. If you are ready to leave father and mother, and brother and sister, and wife and child and friends, and never see them again; if you have paid your debts, and made your will, and settled all your af-fairs, and are a free man; then you are ready for a walk.”

- from the essay “Walk-ing,” (1861), Henry David Thoreau

It has been at least 20 years since I first took a pilgrimage to Walden Pond, which is located just outside the town of Concord, Massachu-setts. On the shores of that glacial pond Henry David Thoreau, with the encouragement of his friend and mentor, Ameri-can writer Ralph Waldo Emerson, (who was also the land’s owner) built himself a small cabin in 1845 and turned his ex-periences into the book of the same name. For me that book has been a continual source of inspi-ration since high school. I walked the short trail

around Walden, sat in the spot where Thoreau’s cabin looked out onto a small bay, and thought about my journeys and experiences.

In a short time after that I made another pilgrim-age to Providence, Rhode Island, and traced the homes and paths of anoth-er writer, H. P. Lovecraft, an important early 20th century science fiction and horror writer who is enjoying something of a cultural and literary re-naissance in our time. I was introduced to him by name just after I entered Morehead State on the recommendation of one of my high school teach-ers. His dark visions and flights of fantasy set a deep course of interest for me that continues to influence and inspire me to this day.

Books and walking, wilderness and city, the rawest nature and most refined aspects of civiliza-tion – I have intersected

all of these things in my own life, and it has been as much of an outward journey as an inward one.

I once found myself, about this time of the year, deep in the midst of a corn field, stalks tower-ing over my head, planted so close together in tight rows as to be suffocating in the late day heat and hu-midity – because I was too stubborn to skirt the edge of the field on my hike. I pushed straight through and struggled mightily against the contrivances of modern agriculture, because I consider myself temperamentally more of a hunter-gatherer than a farmer.

In the same vein I have found myself utterly lost and disoriented while only a mile or two from home, the victim of un-familiar angles and un-traipsed backyards and back fields. The way out has always been the same – find a line in the land-scape, a creek, a river, a

power line – and follow it to somewhere familiar. Civilization is never far these days, and too often we find it breathing down our necks, even crawling into our ears and getting into our heads.

I have never had need to ask myself, what am I doing here? I have an in-satiable curiosity to see what’s around the next corner, much to the cha-grin of my parents and friends. To me the land-scape, the houses, the buildings, and the roads are alive and singing with history and stories, and it all so often falls on deaf ears, but not mine.

Every walk into the woods for me, every walk you’re read about in this column, is a trip inward for me. I think it’s what motivates so much, to try and explain why it’s so im-portant to me and should be important to others. I don’t walk in the woods to be sociable, or take a walk in down the street to mix and mingle, but to drink it all in. I’ll bet most of you have never walked down Main Street at 3 or 4 in the morning, to see the silent, empty buildings, the lone-some streetlight stand-ing watch, parked cars, dark homes with their residents fast asleep, yet

the sidewalk carries you along the same as day.

Or a river bottom in the cold month of January, where the stubble of corn fields stubbornly remains unharrowed, the dirt fro-zen and unyielding, and on the edges dead stalks of ironweed and orange sage, your breath steam-ing from you, and the gray leaden sky above you pressing downward like a heavy opaque down-filled blanket, not a soul or creature stirring around you.

And so on, as far as my feet will carry me.

Beyond those far blue Mountains

On the 4th of Sept. 1783 I started to Kentucky in company with Charles Morgan, Thomas Brown and all together four fami-lies. We left the boat early on the 7th of October to move 20 horses overland and didn’t see the boat again… We arrived at Bryant’s Station on the 28th of October, 1783.

William Sudduth, Drap-er Manuscripts volume 12 CC

As the wave of social isolation from the pan-demic continues to roll, I find myself delving deeper into our fascinat-ing Native American and Pioneer history.

I returned to my ‘Wil-liam Sudduth’ folder over the weekend.

Sudduth was a young adventurer who grew

up amid a large pioneer family near the border of southern Maryland and northern Virginia.

He was born in Nov. 1765

He attended a formal school in 1775, when he was ten years old.

He attended school for five months. He later at-tended school for another five months when he was 16-years-old but then only then as he “could be spared from out the crop.”

Like many pioneer families, the Sudduth family sought freedom from British oppression and a chance for a better future. They, like many, many others, knew their opportunity for a better life, lay beyond the far blue mountains in a place called Kentucky.

He was 18-years-old, when he first came to Kentucky in 1783 with the families of Charles Morgan, Caleb Master-son and Thomas Brown, and initially lived with Morgan’s family at David McGee’s Station, near present day Winchester.

Sudduth taught school to the children and young adults of Strode’s Station, also near Winchester, in the weeks surrounding

Christmas that winter.The following spring,

Sudduth explored and surveyed along Slate Creek in Bath County. Later, in May of 1784, he joined Major Andrew Hood in chasing Shawnee horse thieves from Win-chester to near present-day Sharpsburg, and re-covered all of the horses.

On the first of June, Sudduth set out from Strode’s Station to the present site of Maysville and was witness to the Williams Massacre near Tanner’s Station at the Lower Blue Licks.

It was there that he probably met Simon Ken-ton, John Fleming and Thomas Jones, as histori-cal interviews indicate that Rebecca Donaldson Jones, the wife of Thomas Jones and the stepdaugh-ter of Fleming, treated the two survivors of the massacre. Kenton was at Tanner’s Station with a different surveying party at the same time.

A few days later Sud-duth joined a company of oarsmen who paddled back up the Ohio River from Maysville. In 11 days they traveled back to Wheeling in a large ca-noe.

Sudduth then traveled

200 more miles on foot to his family home.

That November, the large Sudduth family be-gan their move to Ken-tucky, but the wagon haul-ing all of their worldly possessions broke down as they traveled through the Allegheny Mountains.

“We had to sell our wagon and resort to pack horses,” he later recalled in an interview with Rev. John Shane. “With great difficulty we arrived at the Cheat River, a branch of the Monongahela Riv-er.”

The family plan was to buy a boat and float down the Cheat, to the Monon-gahela, to the Ohio and back to the small cove at Maysville.

The boat they pur-chased, however, crashed and was destroyed after they traveled only two miles.

They were then forced to meticulously build an-other boat and completed the exhaustive and frozen task at the end of Feb-ruary, when they again launched themselves into the river.

Their hand-built boat crashed after going only ten more miles.

They laboriously re-paired that boat and fi-

nally launched again without incident and land-ed where Maysville now stands on March 20.

In Sudduth’s absence from Kentucky, Edward Waller, Josiah Collins and others had built a log cab-in at Maysville. The cabin had no roof, fireplace, nor any chinking between the logs, but it did offer some protection against the ele-ments and raiding Native Americans.

William and his father then rode overland to Hood’s station to procure assistance to move the family.

Three-year-old Benja-min Sudduth, who was William’s youngest broth-er, died of a fever on the day they returned to the Maysville cabin.

The despair that en-gulfed the large family on its travel to the inte-rior of Kentucky changed William Sudduth forever, though he later admit-ted that their luck finally changed for the better upon reaching the stock-ade fortress known as Major Andrew Hood’s Station on April 5, 1785.

The relationship be-tween the Sudduth and Hood families were very strong with Major Hood having married one of

William’s sisters and Wil-liam marrying one of the Hood sisters.

William went on Colo-nel Benjamin Logan’s great northern raid against several Shawnee towns in Ohio in Oct. 1786 and not long after his return, his brother, Ezekiel, who he loved to buffalo hunt with, was killed by raiding Shawnee warriors at Hood’s station in the winter of 1786/87.

The next winter Wil-liam’s brother, John, and his father John, died of sickness.

William Sudduth went on to lead a grand life, blazing trails and survey-ing thousands of acres in present Robertson, Ma-son, Fleming, Bath, Nich-olas, Clark, Menifee and Estill County. Some of his descendants still call Ken-tucky home.

It should be noted that Col. Daniel Boone was a deputy surveyor under Sudduth in 1797.

William raised a large family and died at one of his son’s home in Bath County in 1845.

If the Good Lord is will-ing we will join William Sudduth again within the confines of this column.

We conducted our audit in accor-dance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America, the standards applicable to financial audits contained in Government Auditing Standards issued by the Comptroller General of the United States and the Audit Guide for County Fee Officials issued by the Auditor of Public Accounts, Commonwealth of Kentucky. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statement is free from material misstatement.An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the financial statement. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgement, including the assessment of the risks of material mis-statement of the financial statement, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the financial statement in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriate-ness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by manangement, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statement.We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.Basis for Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting PrinciplesAs described in Note 1 of the financial statement, the financial statement is prepared by the Bath County Sheriff on the basis of the accounting practises prescribed or permitted by the laws of Kentucky to demonstrate compliance with the Common-wealth of Kentucky’s regulatory basis of accounting, which is a basis of accounting other than accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.The effects on the financial statement of the variances between the regulatory basis of accounting described in Note 1 and ac-counting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, although not reasonably determinable, are presumed to be material.Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting PrinciplesIn our opinion, because of the significance of the matter discussed in the Basis for Adverse Opinion on U.S. Generally Ac-cepted Accounting Principles paragraph, the financial statement referred to above does not present fairly, in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, the financial position of the Bath County Sheriff, for the period January 7, 2019 through December 31, 2019, or changes in financial position or cash flows therof for the year then ended.Opinion on Regulatory Basis of AccountingIn our opinion, the financial statement referred to above presents fairly, in all material respects, the receipts, disbursements, and excess fees of the Bath County Sheriff for the period January 7, 2019 through December 31, 2019, in accordance with the basis of accounting practices prescribed or permited by the Commonwealth of Kentucky as described in Note 1.Other Reporting Required by Government Auditing StandardsIn accordance with Government Auditing Standards, we have also issued our report dated May 28, 2020, on our consideration of the Bath County Sheriff ’s internal control over financial reporting and on our tests of its compliance with certain provi-sions of laws, regulations, contracts, grant agreements, and other matters. The purpose of that report is solely to describe the scope of our testing of internal control over financial reporting or on compliance. This report is an integral part of an audit performed in accordance with Government Auditing Standards in considering the Bath County Sheriff ’s internal control over financial reporting and compliance.

representative Mat-thew Koch

The impact of the CO-

VID-19 pandemic and the repercussions of the state’s response have been felt throughout Kentucky. While I believe our best days are still ahead of us, this is the most challenging year this Commonwealth has faced in decades. This interim shows us the im-pact that COVID-19 has on Kentucky and allows us to prepare legislative ac-tions for the 2021 regular session. As someone with a background in the mili-tary, I appreciate the need for structure and look forward to being a part of the process of bringing us back to normalcy in both our economy and daily lives.

This week is typically an exhilarating week for the Commonwealth as many people travel from all 120 counties to the Kentucky State Fair. This year’s state fair is open to participants only. That means there is no outdoor entertainment, food vendors, or concerts. Usually, the state fair has approximately 11,000 live-stock on display, but this year, that number has fall-en to nearly 3,800. The fair also typically sees about 600,000 visitors. I under-stand having a partici-pants-only format was the safest option to prevent the

spread of the coronavirus. I am proud of those who have chosen to still partici-pate and I share their pas-sion for Kentucky’s rich agriculture. Even though we know there are unfore-seen circumstances, this industry has grown by $2 billion during a challeng-ing market. I attribute our state’s continued agricul-tural success to the Office of Agricultural Policy’s Former Executive Direc-tor Warren Beeler. I appre-ciate Warren’s dedication and service to this state. He is well respected by members of both politi-cal parties and has served multiple administrations. I will miss getting to work alongside him. He is an outstanding example of servant leadership and is all things agriculture.

We continue to discuss the importance of edu-cation and ensuring our children do not fall behind due to implications from COVID-19. As a husband of a teacher, I continue to hear about the impacts on educators, parents, and our education system. Recently members of the Interim Joint Commit-tee on Education heard from the Kentucky School Boards Association and the Kentucky Associa-tion of School Superinten-dents. They shared their professional opinions that reopening schools should be left to individual dis-tricts. They testified that there should not be a one size fits all approach to this issue for providing educa-tion and reopening schools because of the vast dif-ferences in communities across the state. We know the importance of in-per-son learning for students and how it helps social development, nutrition, and health. We need to get our students and teachers back to school safely and successfully.

It is essential for me to stay aware of the impact COVID-19 has on our vet-eran's health and quality of life. I am a proud member of the Veterans, Military Affairs, and Public Protec-tion Committee, where members discuss solu-tions to our veterans’ is-sues. It’s important to note that the four state-operated veterans’ nursing homes have temporarily stopped accepting new veterans because of COVID-19, but plan to resume admissions in early September. In this month’s meeting, we heard from our first responder community as they provid-ed an update to their emer-gency preparedness in the past several months during the coronavirus pandemic. Law enforcement, by its nature and through its de-votion to training, is dedi-cated to being prepared to handle emergencies. De-partments quickly adapted to the new norms of polic-ing during this pandemic by adherence to safety guidelines such as wear-ing masks and frequent use of personal protective equipment or PPE. These methods have helped pre-vent widespread COVID outbreaks that were ini-tially feared. They were equipped with various PPE even before the pandemic because they never know what to expect on any giv-en run.

Recently the Governor has stated we could see a shortage of PPE. A bill I am pre-filing with my colleague Representative Jason Nemes could allevi-ate that. Those who want to do business with Ken-tucky government agen-cies will be required to use PPE manufactured in the United States, which will also help our country’s economy. We’re learn-ing a great deal from this pandemic, not the least of which is that we need

the added security of PPE made here in the United States. While this pandem-ic is unprecedented in its scope, it’s not the first time our nation has faced PPE shortages. In 2009, compa-nies ramped up their pro-duction to meet the needs created by H1N1. Unfor-tunately, when that pan-demic passed, those com-panies were left with the cost of increasing produc-tion and competition from international companies that didn’t step up during H1N1. With this bill, we’re positioning state govern-ment to lead by example.

Before I close, I wanted to mention voting in the

upcoming election. This will be one of the most historic elections of our time due to the pandemic. In the past, voters in Ken-tucky only had two reasons to vote absentee: being out of town or work. Now, Ken-tuckians with a medical excuse or fear of getting COVID-19 are eligible. To apply for an absentee bal-lot, volunteer to work the polls, or any other infor-mation regarding voting this November, visit Go-VoteKY.com. The last day for new voters to register to vote is October 5, and absentee voters should ap-ply for an application for a mail-in ballot by October 9.

Mail-in ballots must be in the mail and postmarked by Election Day on Tues-day, November 3.

Even though we are not in a legislative session, I am still a voice for you here in Frankfort and want to hear from you regard-ing concerns or issues. I can be reached through the toll-free message line at 1-800-372-7181 or here at home. You can also contact me via e-mail at [email protected].

NOTICE

The Rowan County Dis-tinguished Young Women (formerly Junior Miss) Scholarship program nor-mally held in June is one of Rowan County’s lon-gest running programs, and they were not willing to give in by cancelling the program completely. While the individual per-formances were taped, the live interviews will take place on Monday, September 7 with the awards being presented live at 7 p.m. from the RCSHS Performing Arts Center. The 2021 Distin-guished Young Women scholarship program is sponsored by the More-head Woman's Club with scholarships being pro-vided by other individual and community dona-tions. The Rowan County program has been going strong for 57 years!

Participating senior girls must represent the county in which they re-side. This year’s program will include titles being given to senior girls from Bath, Fleming, and Rowan Counties. Chair Deveney Redwine and her produc-tion crew including Ash Gilliam, Tina Northcutt, Susette Redwine and tal-ented choreographer, Billie Johnson, have been working creatively on this year’s program theme of “2021 DYW Is Team Ken-tucky”.

According to Lucy Moore, Kentucky Junior Miss Board of Directors

and former Rowan Coun-ty Chairperson, “Many participants leave the pro-gram with scholarships to help them with their college educations, but all of them walk away with friendships, life skills, and increased self-confi-dence.”

On the night of the program participants are judged in the categories of talent—20%; fitness—15%; and self-expression—

15%. However, half of the judging is completed prior to the evening per-formance when partici-pants are evaluated on judges’ interview—25%, and scholastic achieve-ment—25%. The com-mittee loves awarding scholarship money, so scholarships are given in each category in addition to those earned by the winners and runners up.

Ethan Jenkins, Dakota Perry, and Colin Tuerk (RCSHS seniors) will serve as our Masters of Ceremonies.

The program will be videotaped by Something Mohr Production Com-pany and DVD's may be purchased for $25 from Lucy Moore.

With no ticket sales, the Silent Auction will be a huge part of the schol-arship money raised to award to these outstand-ing seniors. The auction is currently accepting bids online for a wide va-riety of items; and with over 100 items, there is

something for everyone. Every dollar goes directly into the scholarship ac-count. Contact Ginny Laux if you are not on this group. Bidding ends on Thursday, September 3.

Because there will be no ticket sales for this year’s Distinguished Young Women (formerly Junior Miss) scholarship program, the committee will be sharing perfor-mances with you prior to the awards. If you would like to watch, visit the Rowan County Distin-guished Young Woman Facebook page where you will find a link. The show will be available at 7 p.m. on Thursday, Sep-tember 3, 7 p.m. on Fri-day, September 4, and 7 p.m. on Saturday, Septem-ber 5. The awards will be shown live on Labor Day, Monday, September 7 at 7 p.m.

The participants hop-ing to advance to the Kentucky Distinguished Young Women program held in January (which is why this is the “2021” program) in order of ap-pearance are Allie Lewis, Juliann Fulton, Ciah Fan-nin, Alexis Parker (Flem-ing), Madison Moore, Carlee Caskey, Haley For-man, Brooklyn Enderle, Audrey Evans, Danielle Willis, Grace Welte, Abby Stamper, Amanda Lyons (Fleming), Maigi Qin (Bath), and Kaelan Fra-zier.

Published in the Menifee County News-Outlook 09.03.20

There have been 34 new COVID-19 coronavirus re-ported since last Tuesday in the five county Gateway Health District, as of Sep-tember 1.

This week’s total is down from a record 54 new cases reported last week (Au-gust 19 – 25).

During the month of Au-gust the Gateway District Health Department report-ed a total of 153 new cases in Bath, Elliott, Menifee, Morgan, and Rowan Coun-ties.

New cases reported this week by county are: Bath, 6; Elliott, 5; Menifee, 1 (no new cases reported since August 28); Morgan, 5; and Rowan, 21, including 9 from Morehead State Uni-versity.

As of September 1, the Kentucky Department of Public Health has report-ed a total of 339 cases for the Gateway District since March.

Total cases reported for each county as of Septem-ber 1 are: Bath, 66; Elliott, 25; Menifee, 34; Morgan, 47; and Rowan, 167.

The new cases come amidst the return to virtual learning for most counties across the state last week, the start of on-campus classes at Morehead State University, and the start of fall sports practices last week.

Gov. Andy Beshear said during this past Sunday’s coronavirus update, “With today’s 462 new positive

cases of COVID-19, this last week has been our single largest week ever for new cases of COVID: 4,503. It brings our total number of cases to date to 48,032,” the Governor said. “That means we have to do better. With this number of cases we see more people hospitalized, we see sadly more people being lost. So please wear your mask, please make good deci-sions. This is a time when this virus is spreading ag-gressively.”

The upcoming Labor Day weekend will be a time for many to enjoy outdoor recreational activities, but state officials urged cau-tion amidst the pandemic.

The state Commission-er for Public Health, Dr. Steven Stack, noted on Sunday, “What might be considered in Kentucky a ‘trifecta of holidays’ be-gins this coming Friday. Enjoy watching the fillies on Oaks Day this Friday. Watch the Kentucky Der-by, the 146th Run for the Roses, on Saturday. And, enjoy the entire Labor Day weekend. Just do it in ways that keep you and others safe. Stay Healthy at Home as much as you can. When you go out in public, please practice social distancing, wear a mask whenever you are near others, and wash your hands often. If we all do these things, we have a much better chance for safer, healthier fall and winter holidays with family and friends. These chang-es to our routines make an immense difference and save lives. Together, Team Kentucky can get through this.”

New Gateway coronavirus cases remain steady

Menifee County Board of Election members ap-proved procedures for the upcoming November general election during a meeting last Wednesday afternoon.

Board of Election mem-bers are County Clerk Krystal Chapman, County Sheriff Roger Smallwood, Republican Party Chair-man Randy Little, and Democratic Party Chair-man Mike Helton. County Judge Executive Rick Stilt-ner was also in attendance.

Concern over how to conduct the November

election safely amidst the ongoing COVID-19 coro-navirus pandemic led Ken-tucky Secretary of State Michael Adams and Gov. Andy Beshear to adopt an agreed upon set of proce-dures three weeks ago.

These procedures will al-low easier mail-in absentee voting, and three weeks of early in-person voting prior to November 3.

Voters may request an absentee ballot through October 9 by way of an online portal. They can also request an absentee ballot through the County Clerk’s office. Mail-in bal-lots MUST be postmarked by November 3 and re-ceived by November 6 to be counted in this election.

All counties will also be

required to have one vot-ing “supercenter,” regard-less of what precinct they live in.

Following discussion on local voting locations for the November 3 election, board members agreed to open all local precincts for in-person voting on Elec-tion Day. Those locations are:

A 101 Frenchburg – Clark Energy

A 102 City – Clark En-ergy

B 101 Wellington – Big Woods Gym

C 101 Means – Project Worth

D 101 Pomeroyton – Botts School

E 101 Mariba – Botts School

Early in-person absentee voting will take place in the old court room at the Me-nifee County Courthouse. People can vote absen-tee in-person beginning October 13 on Mondays through Fridays, 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. and on Saturdays, 8 a.m. to 12 p.m.

Those wishing to re-quest an absentee ballot can visit the Kentucky Secretary of State’s secure online portal at https://vrsws.sos.ky.gov/ovrweb/govoteky or by contacting the Clerk’s Office. The deadline to request an ab-sentee ballot is by October 9, with exceptions for med-ical emergencies only.

With mail-in absentee ballots, absentee in-person voting, and traditional in-

person voting on Election Day, County Clerk Chap-man said, “There are more ways of voting than any-body has ever had.”

Board members ap-proved the hiring of four additional poll workers to help out in the Clerk’s of-fice during the absentee voting period.

They also approved the purchase of four additional Express Votes voting ma-chines for $15,944.

Chapman said the Me-nifee Board of Elections’ decisions will require fur-ther approval by the State Board of Elections, the Secretary of State’s Office, and the Governor’s Office before taking effect.

The public is invited once again to the 4th an-nual Labor Day Fireworks display this Saturday, Sep-tember 5, at dusk at Cave Run Lake.

Look for the fireworks this year to be bigger and better than ever!

Highway 826 across Cave Run Dam will be closed during the fire-

works, so drivers and spectators are encouraged to find alternate routes of travel.

The event is hosted by the Bath County Tourism

Commission and Bath County Judge Executive Bobby Rogers.
