Morehead Chief of Po-lice, Derrick Blevins, is encouraging all citi-zens to be aware of an increase in thefts from parked cars throughout the city.
“Our police force en-joys a good relation-ship with the commu-nity,” Chief Blevins said Wednesday morning, June 17 when describing the interaction between the citizens of Morehead and the 25 city officers with the Morehead Po-lice Department. “We al-ways encourage folks to say something if they see something and though we continue to see some drug activity we are ask-ing everyone to remain vigilant when it comes to their vehicles ,and we are asking people to lock their vehicles when they exit them and conceal any high value items they might have in the their vehicle. We’ve been seeing a spike in thefts related to parked vehi-cles across Morehead.
Chief Blevins also clar-ified some false informa-tion regarding an alleged arrest related from last weekend’s protest.
Articles had circulated across the internet about an alleged arrest related to a ‘protest agitator’ who was arrested for al-legedly attempting to incite trouble during the protest but Chief Blevins said that simply wasn’t the case.
Marty Horton, 61, of Morehead, was arrest-ed last week and faces charges of DUI, disor-derly conduct, no seat belt and assault, 3rd degree-corrections offi-cer. He was arraigned on those charged Wednes-day morning, but those charges are not connect-ed with the protest, but rather from an unrelated incident from a More-head restaurant.
All persons are to be presumed innocent until pleading guilty or proven guilty.
If you see suspicious activity in Morehead, Chief Blevins encour-ages you to contact the Morehead Police Depart-ment at 606-784-7511 or dial 911.

School officials remain unsure exactly what the return to school this fall will look like for stu-dents and staff.
Rowan County Su-perintendent of Schools John Maxey was up-front and honest with Board of Education
members during Tues-day evening’s regular June meeting, which was conducted via Zoom teleconferencing.
Maxey said that guide-lines from the Kentucky Department of Educa-tion (KDE) continue to change on a weekly and even daily basis.
“Things are still up in the air,” he told board members. “But we have a good team in place.”
KDE issued a 16 page document on May 15 entitled “COVID-19 Considerations for Re-opening Schools -Initial Guidance for Schools and Districts,” which has left many school of-ficials across the state scratching their heads on exactly how to con-duct classes while ob-serving social distanc-ing guidelines within school building and bus-
es during the coronavi-rus pandemic.
Maxey said during his Superintendent’s Report that staff was still looking at social distancing, sanitiz-ing, whether to require masks or not, and trans-portation, among other things.

Rowan County Board of Education members gave a big thumbs up to Supt. John Maxey on Tuesday evening with a rating of Exemplary dur-
ing his annual evalua-tion.
Board members met in closed session to conduct preliminary discussion of his evaluation prior to returning to open session to deliver the praise and to approve his evalua-tion.
School boards in Ken-tucky are required to conduct annual superin-tendent evaluations as part of the Professional Growth and Evaluation System and rate them on seven leadership stan-dards, including instruc-tional, cultural, human
resources, managerial, collaborative, influential and strategic, as well as on self-collected evidence compiled through the year by the superinten-dent.
Board Chairman Rick Whelan said the Exem-plary rating was “well-deserved” and that the culture of the school district was “fantastic.” He added that everyone in the district was “on the same page” and that “comes from the top.”
Board member Dr. Scott Davison praised Maxey’s instructional
leadership, especially in bringing all the elemen-tary school together. “We’re grateful for all your dedication and lead-ership and are watching the district move forward in a positive direction. It’s been really a great year,” he said.
Maxey said it takes “a really great team that works together – that’s how progress happens. It’s easy to look good when you’ve got good people.”
Maxey has served as Superintendent since July 2018.

Opponents of More-head State football be-came well aware of the dominance of defensive end Vaughn Taylor, Jr., in 2019. After all, he led the Pioneer League in tackles for loss and sacks. His name is now recognized nationally as Taylor, Jr. was tabbed to the FCS Preseason All-America Team by Col-lege Sports Journal.
A native of Washing-ton, D.C., who trans-ferred to MSU from
Kansas, he tackled foes in the backfield 18 times in 2019, a figure which ranks second among the program's best defend-ers. His sack total re-flected 5.5 quarterback takedowns.
But that wasn't the only area where he wreaked havoc. Taylor, Jr also ranks second in overall tackles on the team with 63 and led the squad with seven quarterback hurries. He forced two fumbles and

Local beef producers and business owners are featured in this month’s
issue of Kentucky Liv-ing, a publication of the Kentucky Association of Electrical Cooperatives.
Jenny and Lee Pen-nington, owners of Pen-nington Farm Meats and More, located 2755 Shar-
key Road, were among those interviewed for an article on how Ken-tucky’s meat industry is facing the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic.
The pandemic has led to shortages of beef in
retail grocery stores, as well as a dip in beef cat-tle prices at stockyards.
Appalachian Meats, a butcher shop located in West Liberty, is also fea-tured in the article.

The Rowan County Fiscal Court is eligible for $833,000 this year in financial relief funds due to the COVID-19 coro-navirus pandemic, and court members agreed to apply for those as well as to establish a program for assistance grants for local businesses.
Court members held their meeting once again through Zoom videoconferencing and livestreaming on Face-book.
Judge Executive Harry Clark noted that court members wrapped up their June meeting in “record-breaking” time, with the meeting lasting just over an hour.
They also welcomed Magistrate Ray While,
who recently went through open heart sur-gery and who joined them in the meeting for a short time.
Clark explained to the magistrates that the county is eligible for $833,000 in funds from the state’s Coronavi-rus Relief Fund, which was set up with funds through the CARES Act.
He said that the coun-ty eligible for expenses incurred during the coro-navirus pandemic, such as the set up the Emer-gency Operations Center (EOC), Sheriff’s Office payroll, and supplies.
Clark said he wanted to submit an application for $477,000. He noted that they can continue to apply for funds through December.
He also asked the mag-istrates about setting up grant program for small businesses in the county
through the Bluegrass Community Foundation similar to one set up by the City of Morehead. He said he would like to set it up similar to Gate-way Area Development District’s own Revolv-ing Loan Fund, and he would like to have the county’s fund adminis-tered by Bob Helton and Paul Goodpaster. All of the magistrates present were agreeable with his suggestion.
Clark noted during his Judge’s Report during the meeting that COVD-19 cases were increasing across the state, includ-ing Rowan County, but he hoped the numbers would plateau soon.
He encouraged every-one to continue to wear masks in public places, maintain social distanc-ing, practice frequent hand washing, and avoid crows as much as possi-
ble to prevent the spread the coronavirus.
Rowan County Emer-gency Management Di-rector Jim Hampton said that the county’s EOC and regional distribution center for coronavirus supplies are currently in the process of “rolling back,” and the state is moving equipment and supplies back to Frank-fort. He also noted that people in public are not wearing masks. He also encouraged people to take advantage of free coronavirus testing at St. Claire Medical Center.

DAVID BARBER
Judge Barber Is Guided By The Constitution And His Faith In Christ.
- Circuit Court Judge David Barber
Often, judicial candidates who have never served as a judge, will pander to special interest groups, in an attempt to get their political “recommendation.” I grew up in the church and I am an active member of the United Methodist Church. I have served as a judge for more than 17 years at just about every level, including Kentucky’s Supreme Court. While I do not complete political surveys by special interest groups because it could violate Kentucky’s judicial cannons, my record of following the Constitution, protecting life, liberty and equal justice under the law, is public record and available for all to see. I am proud to stand on my record, and if elected to continue serving as your circuit court judge, you can trust that I am guided by the Constitution and my faith in Christ.

The Kentucky Department for Public Health (DPH) joined in the Kentucky Department of Education’s (KDE) June 15 Education Continuation Task Force meeting to provide five aspects for districts to consid-er as they plan for reopening schools in the fall.
For the 2020-2021 school year, DPH asked districts leaders to consider:
• Social distancing;• Cloth face coverings;• Screening and tem-
perature checks;• Hand and surface
hygiene; and• Contact tracing.These aspects will be in-
cluded in DPH’s Healthy at School document, which will be released at a later date.
“There is no easy path for this, unfortunately,” said DPH Commissioner Dr. Ste-ven Stack. “We want you to know that we share your frus-tration and will work with you as much as possible to find in-novative ideas on how we can address this.”
Stack told the task force that there is no vaccine, cure or effective treatment for CO-VID-19 as of June 15. There-fore, it is critical for districts to implement these five concepts to reduce the risk of transmit-ting the virus within their lo-cal communities.
Social DistancingAccording to DPH, up to
40% – or more – of the individ-uals who contract COVID-19 have no symptoms. These infected individuals will con-tinue to spread the infection to others without knowing they have the virus. DPH recom-mends maintaining 6 feet of distance when possible.
Stack understands that this will be difficult to enforce, par-ticularly with young children, but said it is an essential tool to use to mitigate the spread of the virus.
During the June 2 Special Superintendents’ Webcast, su-perintendents had asked DPH about the possibility of schools utilizing plexiglass as a bar-rier between students in the classroom. At the time, DPH Deputy Commissioner Dr. Connie White said she would have to do more research, but cited that cleaning the plexi-glass could be an issue.
Martin Monson, interim principal at the Kentucky School for the Blind, raised the question again during the June 15 task force meet-ing and the DPH officials said they do not recommend using plexiglass in the classroom.
“My opinion would be that is not a pragmatic approach,” said Stack. “You simply can’t put everybody in a fishbowl in your classroom. I don’t think that that is realistic. I think you’re better off to try and have some distance – the 6 feet – if at all possible, be-tween everybody.”
White added that it would be difficult to ensure that the plexiglass is cleaned thor-oughly after each student sits at their desk and said there are other safety concerns, par-ticularly with the barriers fall-ing and potentially injuring a student.
DPH says that social dis-tancing does not need to be enforced on school buses if students are wearing masks, are practicing proper hand hygiene and have had their temperature and symptoms checked.
Cloth Face CoveringsDPH recommends that
schools require both faculty and students to wear masks when in the school building and when social distancing is not possible.
Since the coronavirus spreads by respiratory drop-lets, covering the nose and mouth is the way a person can prevent spreading the virus if they are not 6 feet away from others, according to DPH.
“If you have a single thing you can do to greatly reduce the risk of infection, it is to cover your face,” said Stack.
Stack added that cloth face coverings provide the bar-rier needed to diminish the spread of the virus and not-ed that surgical masks and N95 masks are not needed in schools except for certain nursing activities.
Nancy Hutchinson, chief ex-ecutive officer of the Kentucky Educational Development Corporation, asked DPH offi-cials if districts should consid-er masks a “non-negotiable” for the 2020-2021 school year.
“I wouldn’t use the word non-negotiable. Though I would say that it’s really es-sential whenever possible,” said Stack. “Obviously there are situations where it cannot happen. You can’t have kids running around a soccer field in 85-degree heat wearing a mask.
“There are times you just cannot do it and in those cas-es, you should not do it. You should not endanger someone to wear a mask. But, when-ever possible, people should wear a mask.”
Several task force members suggested that adults within the school should “be an ex-ample” for students by wear-ing their masks during the day in the hopes that students will follow their lead.
State Sen. Reggie Thomas (Fayette) is a recent addition to the Education Continuation Task Force, along with State Rep. Tina Bojanowski (Louis-ville), State Rep. Regina Huff (chair of the House Education Committee) and State Sen. Max Wise (chair of the Senate Education Committee).
Thomas recommended that districts consider being more strict on faculty than students
when it comes to wearing masks.
“I understand the flexibility in the requirement of masks for children. I think that will be practical and reasonable,” he said. “But I think we ought to have more stringent stan-dards for wearing masks for faculty and staff because they are adults, they understand the risks and they can be held to a higher standard than chil-dren.”
Lt. Gov. Jacqueline Cole-man added that it is impor-tant for the adults in the school to be positive role mod-els for their students.
“One of the things that we have to make sure we always do as educators is never ask more of our students than we’re willing to give,” she said.
Screening and Tempera-ture Checks
Although many people with COVID-19 are asymptomatic, more than 60% do have symp-toms, according to DPH.
Stack said districts could have families screen for symp-toms at home before entering school property.
“The key thing is, to try and come up with a way for the ed-ucation community to screen
people for symptoms of infec-tion and also for fever,” said Stack. “If you find people with those things and have them stay outside of the school com-munity, you will dramatically reduce the risk of spreading infection into the school.”
Stack said that when de-veloping plans for reopening other sectors of the economy, DPH has required an employ-ee’s temperature to be checked at least once every 24 hours.
He added that while there may be multiple ways to screen for symptoms, it may be best for them to be checked at home before students and staff head to school.
Hand and Surface HygieneDPH recommends frequent
hand cleaning and sanitizing to reduce the risk of transmit-ting COVID-19.
“This is an infection over-whelmingly spread by the droplets going directly from one person to another, but not exclusively that,” explained Stack. “Our hands are the most common device that we use to touch our nose, our eyes and our face. … The single most important thing is to wash your hands a lot.”
Frequently cleaning of high-
contact surfaces contaminated by respiratory droplets also is an important step to reduce transmission of the virus. These surfaces include door-knobs, desks and telephones.
Contact TracingIn a May 21 call with Ken-
tucky’s 172 superintendents, Gov. Andy Beshear spoke of the importance of accurate and efficient contact tracing as a way to manage the trans-mission of the COVID-19 vi-rus.
The contact tracing pro-gram is an online tracking sys-tem that allows public health workers to record individual information of Kentuckians who have been exposed to CO-VID-19, conduct outreach and monitor wellness.
According to DPH, public health has used contact trac-ing for decades to identify individuals with a communi-cable illness, isolate them and quarantine others with high-risk exposure to the infected person to prevent disease spread.
DPH officials also recom-mend that when planning to prevent exposure of students and staff to COVID-19, dis-tricts should include prepar-
ing to assist contact tracers with their investigations.
“Contact tracing is impor-tant and we need your active participation in that,” said Stack. “It will be difficult be-cause in the United States of America, talking to people on the phone about infection or illness is not something we routinely do. Yet, this is what we have to do to try to allow us to get back to normal activi-ties.”
Interim Education Com-missioner Kevin C. Brown, ac-knowledging that this next se-mester will be difficult, urged the education community to meet the public health experts halfway with the Healthy at School guidance since DPH has been both practical and flexible in response to feed-back from KDE and districts.
“There will be difficult tasks ahead of us from the school community to implement some of these things, but ev-ery other school district in the country is trying to do the same thing,” said Brown. “We are going to be doing things that we have never been asked to do before. I’m confi-dent we can do them.”

Attorney General Dan-iel Cameron warned Kentuckians on Tues-day of unlawful seizure of CARES Act stimulus funds by nursing home and assisted living fa-cilities and encouraged Medicaid beneficiaries to report incidents of confis-cated funds to the Office of the Attorney General’s Elder Abuse and Medic-aid Fraud Hotline.
“Medicaid recipients living in nursing homes and assisted living facili-ties could be more sus-ceptible to financial ex-
ploitation while isolated from family during the COVID-19 pandemic,” said Attorney General Cameron. “In many cases, federal stimulus checks provide assis-tance to Medicaid ben-eficiaries experiencing financial hardships due to COVID-19, and any unlawful seizure of those funds should be reported to our Elder Abuse and Medicaid Fraud Hotline at 1-877-228-7384.”
In some circumstanc-es, Medicaid beneficia-ries sign over financial
resources, including so-cial security or pension funds to nursing homes or assisted living facili-ties. However, the cur-rent federal stimulus checks are not required to be surrendered. Un-der the CARES Act, Con-gress designated federal stimulus checks as a tax credit, and according to tax law, credits do not count as “resources” for federal benefits pro-grams like Medicaid. While Medicaid benefi-ciaries may choose to ap-ply their stimulus checks
toward facility care, these funds may not be seized by nursing homes or assisted living facili-ties.
Executive Director of the Attorney General’s Office of Medicaid Fraud and Abuse Control W. Bryan Hubbard stated, “I encourage Medicaid beneficiaries and fami-lies with loved ones in nursing homes or as-sisted living facilities to make sure facilities have not illegally seized stimulus funds. If you or someone you know is a
Medicaid recipient and was forced to forfeit their stimulus check to a care facility, we encourage you to report the inci-dent to our office.”
The confiscation of stimulus funds can be reported to the Attorney General’s Elder Abuse and Medicaid Fraud Ho-tline at 1-877-228-7384. The Attorney General also recommends filing a complaint online with the Federal Trade Com-mission at ftc.gov/com-plaint.
Attorney General Warns Kentuckians of Unlawful Seizure of CARES Act Funds by Nursing Home and Assisted Living Facilities
Attorney General Dan-iel Cameron on Monday encouraged Kentuckians to report suspected elec-tion law violations dur-ing the 2020 primary election to the Attorney General’s Election Fraud Hotline at 1-800-328-VOTE.
“Fair elections are es-sential to the strength of our Democracy, and we stand ready to do our part to ensure the integrity of our election process by investigating and prosecuting crimi-nal violations of elec-
tion law,” said Attorney General Cameron. “Tips from Kentuckians re-garding suspected fraud are an important part of this process, and we urge anyone who has infor-mation about potential fraud to call the hotline immediately.”
The hotline is active year-round and records messages 24 hours a day, seven days a week. All calls to the hotline are reviewed by the At-torney General’s Office of Special Prosecutions, and complaints contain-

The task force in-cludes the Office of the Attorney General, the Secretary of State’s Of-fice, the State Board of Elections, the U.S. De-
partment of Homeland Security, the Federal Bu-reau of Investigation, the U.S. Attorneys’ Office for Kentucky’s Eastern and Western Districts, the Kentucky State Police, the U.S. Postal Service, the Kentucky Depart-ment of Homeland Secu-rity, and the Kentucky Army National Guard.

SUMMARY OF ORDINANCE NO. 04:2020The City Council of the City of Morehead, Kentucky, at regular meetings held on May 11, 2020 and June 8, 2020, adopted an ordinance titled as follows:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF MOREHEAD, KENTUCKY AUTHORIZING THE ISSUANCE OF CITY OF MOREHEAD, KENTUCKY GENERAL OBLIGATION BONDS, SERIES 2020A IN THE APPROXIMATE AGGREGATE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF $7,750,000 (SUBJECT TO A PERMITTED ADJUSTMENT INCREASING THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF THE BONDS BY UP TO $775,000 OR DECREASING THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF THE BONDS BY ANY AMOUNT) FOR THE PURPOSE OF FINANCING ALL OR A PORTION OF THE COSTS OF THE ACQUISI-TION, CONSTRUCTION, EQUIPPING, AND INSTALLATION OF A POLICE STATION AND RELATED FACILITIES LOCATED WITHIN THE JURISDICTIONAL BOUNDARIES OF THE CITY; APPROVING THE FORMS OF THE BONDS; AUTHORIZING DESIGNATED OFFICERS TO EXECUTE AND DELIVER THE BONDS; AUTHORIZING AND DIRECTING THE FILING OF A NOTICE WITH THE STATE LOCAL DEBT OFFICER; PROVIDING FOR THE PAYMENT AND SECURITY OF THE BONDS; CREATING A BOND PAYMENT FUND; MAINTAINING THE HERETOFORE ESTABLISHED SINKING FUND; AUTHORIZING ACCEPTANCE OF THE BIDS OF THE BOND PURCHASER FOR THE PURCHASE OF THE BONDS; AND REPEALING INCONSISTENT RESOLUTIONS AND ORDINANCES.
The Ordinance authorizes the issuance of general obligation bonds designated as Series 2020A in the approximate principal amount of $7,750,000 (the “Bonds”) by the City of Morehead, Kentucky (the “City”). The Bonds are to be issued for the purpose of financing all or a portion of the costs of the acquisition, construction, equipping, and installation of a police station and related facilities located within the jurisdictional boundaries of the City. Provisions are made in the Or-dinance for the payment of the Bonds and the security therefor; for the application of the proceeds of the Bonds; for the establishment of a Bond Payment Fund; for the maintenance of the previously established sinking fund; and for certain covenants of the City with respect to the Bonds. The Bonds are to be sold at public, competitive sale, and shall mature, or be subject to mandatory sinking fund redemption, annually in varying amounts for a total term that does not exceed forty years. The specific interest payment dates, maturity dates, and mandatory sinking fund redemption dates will be established by the City through the execution of an Award Certificate upon the sale of the Bonds as authorized by the Or-dinance. The Bonds pledge the full faith, credit, and taxing power of the City and provision is made for the collection of a tax to pay the principal of, and interest on the Bonds, subject to certain credits, as provided in Section 8 of the Ordinance. As required by KRS 83A.060, the following Section 8 of the Ordinance is set forth in its entirety:
“Section 8. General Obligation. The Bonds shall be full general obligations of the City and, for the payment of the Bonds, and the interest thereon, the full faith, credit, and taxing power of the City are hereby pledged for the prompt payment thereof. During the period the Bonds are outstanding, there shall be and there hereby is levied on all the taxable property in the City, in addition to all other taxes, without limitation as to rate, a direct tax annually in an amount suf-ficient to pay the principal of and interest on the Bonds when and as due, it being hereby found and determined that cur-rent tax rates are within all applicable limitations. The tax shall be and is hereby ordered computed, certified, levied, and extended upon the tax duplicate and collected by the same officers in the same manner and at the same time that taxes for general purposes for each of the years are certified, extended, and collected. The tax shall be placed before and in prefer-ence to all other items and for the full amount thereof provided, however, that in each year to the extent that the other lawfully available funds of the City are available for the payment of the Bonds, and are appropriated for such purpose, the amount of such direct tax upon all of the taxable property in the City shall be reduced by the amount of such other funds so available and appropriated.”
The undersigned Attorney-at-Law, licensed to practice in Kentucky, hereby certifies that the foregoing title summary of the ordinance of the City of Morehead, Kentucky, was prepared by the undersigned and constitutes a general summary of essential provisions of the ordinance, reference to the full text of which ordinance is hereby made for a complete state-ment of its provisions and terms.

It was supposed to be a celebration as Ken-tucky State Police (KSP) planned to host the fifty-fifth year of their Trooper Island Kid’s Camp. Then the COVID-19 pandemic struck and out of concern for safety, KSP Commis-sioner Rodney Brewer made the tough decision to cancel camp – but with a twist. He challenged his Trooper Island Camp Staff to develop a free vir-tual camp that kids can attend by watching online via an electronic device or television.
“Trooper Island Camp, located on an island in Dale Hollow Lake, pro-vides a camping experi-ence for nearly 800 under-privileged children each year,” says Brewer. “I couldn’t fathom not shar-ing this experience with Kentucky children and ending 55 years of tradi-tion by not hosting it.”
Brewer decided that if the kids couldn’t come to camp, he would bring camp to them.
“We have the technol-ogy and resources to bring a piece of the island to the kids – even if it is
virtually,” adds Brewer. “While we may not be able to interact in person, we can still connect with these young people and teach them skills they can utilize at home or when camp is back in session.”
The first episode will air on the KSP YouTube channel (https://www.youtube.com/user/ken-tuckystatepolice/) and the Trooper Island Facebook page (https://www.face-book.com/TrooperIsland-Camp/) on June 30, 2020 at 10:00 a.m. After that, there will be two episodes each week during the month of July for chil-dren to watch and par-ticipate in. Each episode will feature an activity that campers would do if they were at the island. It will also include a down-loadable activity kids can do at home. Some of the topics include swimming, campfire cooking, archery and the traditional flag raising ceremony. If a child misses an episode, not a problem. KSP in-tends to upload every episode after it airs to the KSP Trooper Island Camp website, along with
the downloadable activ-ity.
Trooper Island Camp Director Trooper Jona-than Biven was excited to accept Brewer’s chal-lenge to develop a virtual camp and hopes children will participate and share their ‘virtual’ experience along the way.
“We have some neat things planned for our virtual campers and one thing we want to do is show their involvement with us at home,” notes Biven. “We developed a hashtag and a method for parents to share photos of their children learning the activities, doing the activities or just watching along with us.”
KSP will use the hashtag #VirtualTroo-perIsland and welcome parents to share photos or videos of their child during the camp episodes on KSP social media or through the agency web-site. Biven plans to share some of those and use them for a special gradua-tion ceremony in August.
“The neatest thing for me, is that we are going to host a ‘live’ graduation
on Facebook. During that time, we plan to highlight many of the photos that we receive, announce our camp graduates and have the opportunity to give some prizes away,” says Biven.
Biven says every child that certifies they have watched all the episodes will receive a camp cer-tificate and patch. Virtual Camp is open to all ages of children.
KSP hopes Virtual Camp may help the agen-cy reach demographics they haven’t had the op-portunity to interact with before. Commissioner Brewer said Trooper Is-land Camp is targeted at children who otherwise could not afford to attend a summer camp and that the 800 they usually serve
is a small number of the kids out there.
“Virtual Camp is open to all children. There are no ‘qualifiers’ for this program and because of that, I hope this platform provides the opportunity to connect troopers with more young people,” says Brewer.
Brewer says Trooper Island Camp is inspir-ing for many children. In fact, KSP has had over 60 children attend camp and then go on to become a trooper in their adult lives.
“Although Trooper Is-land was certainly never intended to be a recruit-ment effort, it speaks volumes to the positive influence that troopers have with campers during their experience.”
Parents can register their kids for ‘Virtual Trooper Island Camp’ at http://www.ksponline.org/TIslandVirtualCamp/
Trooper Island is a free summer camp for disad-vantaged boys and girls age 10-12. It’s operated by KSP on Dale Hollow Lake in Clinton County. It is financed entirely by dona-tions; no public funds are used. Each year, the camp hosts approximately 700 children, providing good food, fresh air, recreation, guidance and structure, esteem building activities designed to build good citizenship and positive relationships with law en-forcement officers.

Illustration from The Rowan County War by Edward Moran
Part ii: winter’s cruel wind
By Charles MattoxKyNewsGroup
“It’s hard to walk a po-litical tightrope in a hur-ricane,”
From the Book: ‘Days Of Anger, Days Of Tears’ by late Rowan County Author and Historian, Fred Brown. Brown was talking about how the Rowan County War of 1884-1887 made neutral-ity virtually impossible for politicians who were allied with the Tolliver faction if they were Dem-ocrats or the Martins if they were Republicans.
John Martin was lodged in the Rowan jail following the shooting death of Floyd Tolliver and trouble began brew-ing almost immediately.
Tolliver left a wife and two children.
Z. T. Young was the county attorney for Row-an County and a strong democratic ally of the Tollivers.
His role in the current affairs of the trouble has been brought into ques-tion by feud members and historians alike over the years.
What we do know is that Young had Mar-tin transferred from the Rowan jail to the Win-chester jail by train on December 3, 1884 after loud rumors of a necktie party were heard floating along the streets of More-head and particularly, Farmers. At Martin’s wife, Lucy’s insistence, Young had ridden the train in Martin’s compa-ny as far as Mt. Sterling.
Martin’s examining
trial, scheduled for Dec. 9 was cancelled and Lucy was informed of the news of a delay in the proceed-ings and with that good news she boarded a train for Winchester to tell John.
She visited him in jail and they were greatly re-lieved to see one another. She left him in good spir-its.
John Reid ‘Bud” Toll-iver, a cousin of Floyd Tolliver’s had studied law and drafted a phony prisoner transportation order, which Farmer’s Town Marshall, Alvin M. Bowling, took to Win-chester and used it to se-cure John Martin
Martin recognized Bowling and the men with him and the fabri-cated order for what it was. He pleaded with the jailer, who had rou-
tinely heard similar sto-ries from prisoners be-fore, and thus he paid it no mind, releasing the handcuffed and shackled Martin to Bowling. Mar-tin was thus on the same train as his unbeknownst wife, although in another car, on its return to Row-an County.
As the train ap-proached the commu-nity of Farmers, Lee and Marion Tolliver boarded the train and forced the engineer to keep the train from moving for-ward, as a group of sev-eral masked men entered the train coach 38 of the C& O Passenger train.
Craig Tolliver, brother to slain Floyd Tolliver, was the man in charge of the masked men.
Lucy Martin noticed the train had stopped longer than it normally should and when she heard a barrage of gun shots in the next coach, her heart sank and she instantly knew John was on board and something terrible had happened.
In the eternity it took for the train to reach Morehead, Lucy made it to her husband’s side. She tried to apply direct pressure on his wounds, but Lord have mercy, there were so many of them.
We don’t know how John Martin was able to stand and walk off the train at the Morehead Depot but numerous historical sources con-firm he did, and that he walked from the depot to the entrance of the Pow-ers Hotel before he fell, dragging his wife onto
the frozen ground with him; and as her cries for help turned to hysterical wails, winters cruel wind made the falling snow swirl chaotically around the two of them there in the middle of First Street.
Men came running from all directions, and try as they might to as-suage the awful sorrow that emanated from Lucy, and stop John’s bleeding, they finally simply carried them both inside the hotel as news of the shooting of John Martin spread across the landscape.
Lucy would not know for certain until some-time later when she washed and prepared her husband for his funeral that John had been shot at extremely close range
nine times.John was 38-years-old.
Their only child, a son, Thomas Martin, was three years old.
John’s last words had implicated Alvin Bowling and the Tollivers in his shooting.
John had four sisters and a brother when he left this world. One of his sister’s, Sue Martin, was falling in love with Row-an Sheriff, Cook Hum-phrey.
Martin allies began looking to Sheriff Hum-phrey for guidance and vengeance.
They wouldn’t have to wait long for the fire-storm of violence to shake their world.
Revenge does not feed upon reason.
To be continued.

The Revolutionary Aerospace Systems Con-cepts-Academic Linkage (RASC-AL) competitions fuel innovation for aero-space systems concepts, analogs and technology prototyping by bridging gaps through university engagement. RASC-AL is open to undergraduate and graduate university-level students studying fields with applications to human space explora-tion including aerospace, bio-medical, electrical and mechanical engi-neering, life, physical, and computer sciences.
MSU's project, SE-LENE, is named for the Greek Goddess of the moon. It seeks to learn more about the discov-ery of water on the lu-nar surface following the intentional crash-ing of NASA's LCROSS Satellite into the moon's south pole. The project's goal is to aid NASA in its plan to use the moon as a steppingstone to travel to Mars. Just as last year, MSU's team partnered with a group of students and faculty from UT Delft, an engi-neering school based in The Netherlands.
Only five teams were chosen for the final round of the competition. The MSU team presents their
project online Wednes-day, June 17, at 10 a.m., during the 2020 RASC-AL Forum. This year's themes asked students to develop new concepts that leverage innova-tions to improve NASA's ability to operate in space and on distant planetary bodies. The team's pre-sentation can be viewed live online at https://livestream.com/viewnow/rascal-forum.
NASA will announce the winner on Friday, June 19. In addition to their presentation, each team created a digi-tal poster summarizing their concept and can be viewed at www.rascal.nianet.org/virtual-post-er-session.
Students on the team are:
• Orlando Carr-omero from Ceiba, Puer-to Rico
• Mercedes Mau-pin from Flatwoods
• Tithi Patel from Dahod, India
• Noah Patrick from Frenchburg
• Kaitlynn Willi-son from Georgetown
"To be selected as fi-nalists for this competi-tive NASA competition is a tremendous honor for our engineering pro-gram. The selection high-lights the talent and in-genuity of students in our Space Systems En-gineering program. As engineers, they will need
to work with interna-tional partners to devise novel solutions to 21st-century problems," said Shanil Virani, instruc-tor of space science and director of MSU's Star Theater. "Our students are not only creative and talented. They are learn-ing the important skills of how to work collabora-tively with diverse people from around the world. It has been delightful to see how our engineers have stepped up to meet this challenge."

Agriculture Commis-sioner Dr. Ryan Quarles has announced on June 3 the Kentucky Depart-ment of Agriculture (KDA) is issuing guid-ance to allow the opera-tion of youth livestock shows near the end of this month. The guide-lines are based in part on the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Ser-vices’ guidelines for youth sports.
"Over the course of the last few months, many Kentucky families have seen time-honored agri-cultural events like youth livestock shows disrupted due to government orders during the coronavirus pandemic," Commis-sioner Quarles said. “For
our part at the Kentucky Department of Agricul-ture, we believe we can put public health first and modify our youth livestock shows to allow students to participate in our great agricultural traditions. That’s why we are issuing new guide-lines to operate KDA-managed youth livestock shows starting at the end of the month. While the events will look different than in years past, I ask for the public’s patience as we adapt to offer this opportunity for our young people.”
For each KDA-spon-sored event, the depart-ment’s Division of Shows and Fairs will designate a KDA employee to serve
as the event’s safety offi-cer. He or she will work closely with the show’s event chairperson, KDA staff members, and the other adults present to ensure everyone adheres to social distancing and other safety measures.
The guidelines require coordination with lo-cal elected officials and health departments to develop guidelines for youth livestock shows. The guidelines are avail-able for review here at the KDA’s coronavirus website, kyagr.com/co-vid19.
For additional ques-tions, please contact the KDA's Division of Shows and Fairs at (502) 782-4105.

U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) announced today St. Claire HealthCare in Morehead, Kentucky was awarded a $900,000 competitive federal grant from the U.S. Depart-ment of Health and Hu-man Services’ Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). St. Claire plans to use the federal funding in coordi-nation with the North-east Kentucky Substance Use Response Coalition to provide medication-as-sisted treatment servic-es, which are lacking in the region. It also plans to use the funding to ad-dress the growing rate of Hepatitis C infections, which are believed to be increasing through intra-venous drug use.
Senator McConnell contacted HRSA on be-half of his constituents’
grant application and their mission to help save lives from addiction.
“During the coronavi-rus pandemic, we cannot lose focus on combating the scourge of addic-tion in our communities. Kentucky sadly remains one of the hardest hit states by opioid and sub-stance abuse, but we are also home to many of the leaders of the national recovery,” said Senator McConnell. “St. Claire continues to make a great positive impact for Northeastern Kentucky families, and I was proud to help them secure these much-needed federal funds. As Senate Major-ity Leader, I’ll continue mobilizing the federal government to deliver for Kentucky’s fight against the addiction crisis.”
“St. Claire HealthCare is proud to announce
our next step in the fight against the opioid epidemic,” said Donald H. Lloyd, II, St. Claire HealthCare President/CEO. “This grant will as-sist us in improving ac-cess to medication-assist-ed treatment for opioid use disorder throughout Northeastern Kentucky. We are tremendously grateful to Sen. McCon-nell for his support.”
“St. Claire Health-Care is thrilled to receive this award on behalf of the Northeast Kentucky Substance Use Response Coalition, as it will al-low us to expand preven-tion and treatment ef-forts across the region,” said David A. Gross, St. Claire’s administra-tive director for educa-tion and research, who will co-direct the project. “Senator McConnell’s support was instrumen-
tal to St. Claire and the Coalition being selected for this funding, and we look forward to contin-ued collaborations with his office in our ongoing efforts to combat the opi-oid epidemic.”
According to the Na-tional Center for Health Statistics, 2018 saw the first nationwide decline in drug overdose deaths since 1990. Kentucky’s overdose fatalities fell by nearly 15% -- the largest drop in more than a de-cade -- and the rate de-clined by 5% nationwide.
Since becoming Major-ity Leader in 2015, Sena-tor McConnell has pri-oritized the fight against the opioid and substance abuse epidemic by in-creasing federal funding for the response. Under McConnell’s leadership, Kentucky has received more than $240 mil-
lion. Senator McConnell worked with the Uni-versity of Kentucky to help secure an $87 mil-lion competitive federal grant—the largest in school history—to ad-dress the opioid crisis in high-risk communi-ties. He has also helped secure the inclusion of some of Kentucky’s hard-est-hit counties in the Office of National Drug Control Policy’s High In-tensity Drug Trafficking Areas (HIDTA) program to promote coordination and support for law en-forcement in Kentucky.
Senator McConnell consistently draws atten-tion to Kentucky’s pre-vention, treatment and enforcement efforts with the President’s Cabinet and federal agencies. Multiple Drug Czars, the federal official respon-sible for coordinating the
national response, have visited Kentucky at his request to see the inno-vative work being done in the Commonwealth. Most recently, last year Director Jim Carroll vis-ited Louisville, Northern Kentucky, and Eastern Kentucky.
In 2018, President Trump signed into law the landmark opioid and substance abuse bill Sen-ator McConnell helped shepherd to enactment. In addition to the CA-REER Act – which Con-gressman Andy Barr (KY-06) supported in the House -- the legislation contained the Senator’s Protecting Moms and Infants Act, which au-thorized an increase in federal funding to help babies born with neona-tal abstinence syndrome (NAS).

A Morehead, Kentucky man, Ranger Lacy, 43, was sentenced to 144 months in federal prison on Monday, by U.S. Dis-trict Judge David Bun-ning, for distribution of child pornography.
In his guilty plea agreement, Lacy ad-mitted that, between November 2, 2012 and December 19, 2012, he
made sexually explicit images of minors avail-able for sharing and the images were shared with other users. A subse-quent search of Lacy’s laptop and computer equipment uncovered more than 10,000 imag-es depicting minors en-gaged in sexually explicit conduct. Lacy also ad-mitted that his computer
had been set up to share files through a sharing network.
Lacy pleaded guilty in November 2019.
Robert M. Duncan, Jr., United States Attorney for the Eastern District of Kentucky; James Rob-ert Brown, Jr., Special Agent in Charge, FBI, Louisville Field Divi-sion; and Rodney Brew-
er, Commissioner of the Kentucky State Police, jointly made the an-nouncement.
The investigation was directed by the FBI and Kentucky Internet Crimes Against Children Taskforce. The United States was represented by Assistant U.S. Attor-ney Wade Napier.
This case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, a nation-wide initiative to combat the growing epidemic of child sexual exploitation and abuse launched in May 2006 by the Depart-ment of Justice. Led by U.S. Attorneys' Offices and the Criminal Divi-sion's Child Exploitation and Obscenity Section
(CEOS), Project Safe Childhood marshals fed-eral, state and local re-sources to better locate, apprehend and prosecute individuals who exploit children via the Inter-net as well as to identify and rescue victims.
