Barnett charged with murder
By Charles Mattox

A Carlisle man is behind
bars, charged with murder
following a tragic shooting,
which occurred early Saturday morning Dec. 10, in Kentontown, which claimed the
life of an elderly woman.
Angie Spencer, 71, of 6367
Kentontown Road, Mt. Olivet, died shortly after midnight after being struck in the
chest by a large caliber bullet,
which police sources say was
fired from a heavy caliber
handgun carried by Gary H.
Barnett, 64, of Carlisle.
“A witness at the scene was
able to give a description of
the suspect, who fired multiple shots into the victim’s residence,” A Kentucky State
Police press release regarding
the shooting states. “Through
the investigation the suspect
was identified as Gary H.
Barnett, 64, of Carlisle.”
The shooting occurred
shortly after midnight, during
the first minutes of Dec. 10
when Barnett allegedly drove
to the home, where Spencer
and a neighbor friend, David
Gallenstein, were watching
TV, according to officers on
the scene.
Barnett allegedly tried to
gain entry and shouted and
screamed at those in the
house.
Barnett then allegedly fired
a shot in the back door trying
to gain entry. Sources close to
the investigation say Barnett
then ran toward the front
door of the home while Spencer and Gallenstein sought
cover, a means to protect
themselves and call 911.
Barnett then allegedly
fired several shots through a
window of the front door. One
of those fired rounds struck
Spencer in the chest.
KSP received a call of the
shooting at approximately 37
minutes after midnight.
Sources close to the investigation say Barnett was at the
home looking for Spencer’s
sister, with whom he had a
previous relationship, but
that relationship had ended
in recent weeks.
Mt. Olivet Chief of Police
Four charged in area burglaries
By Charles Mattox

Nicholas County Sheriff Jeff Sidles has made four
arrests in connection with a
string of burglaries that occurred at the end of November and the first of December.
John Farrow, 34, Brandon
Kimes, 22, Chris McCarty,
26, all of Carlisle, and Samuel Jones, 35, of Flemingsburg, are charged with three
counts each of burglary, 2nd
degree and one count each
of burglary, 3rd degree and
tampering with physical evidence, according to Sheriff Sidles.
Sidles reports that stolen
property has been recovered
from the burglaries; one burglary was from a home in the
community of Saltwell, one
barn on Johnson road was
burglarized and two homes
on Sugar Creek were burglarized.
The four men remain
lodged in the Bourbon County
Regional Jail and are scheduled to be arraigned in Nicholas District Court on Dec. 14.
John Farrow
Brandon Kimes
Jamie Stamper was the first
officer to arrive on the scene.
He was joined shortly afterward by Nicholas County
EMS Dustin Mitchell, according to multiple police sources.
Mitchell arrived in his own
vehicle, as he lives close to the
Spencer home.
Nicholas County EMS Ambulance personnel also arrived minutes later.
All attempts by Chief
Stamper and Mitchell to revive Mrs. Spencer or find
signs of life failed, and her life
had ended in her own home,
which was beautifully bedecked in Christmas decorations.
“It was all just so very, very,
sad,” Chief Stamper said in a
strained voice.
Stamper began to secure
the crime scene when Robertson County Sheriff Randy Insko arrived. Insko had
traveled from the other end of
the county and farther than
Stamper, to reach the home,
Sheriff Sidles stresses the
importance of neighbors
working together to watch for
suspicious activity and to call
911 if suspicious activity is
witnessed. Sheriff Sidles also
stresses the importance of all
and had thus arrived minutes
after Stamper.
Insko described Spencer as,
“a very sweet and kind lady,”
and described the shooting as
“a terrible, terrible tragedy.”
The two lawmen worked
together, gathering information, conducting interviews
and protecting the integrity of the crime scene. Three
KSP Trooper and three KSP
Detectives also arrived quickSee Murder Page 13
trailers.
The investigation has centered in Fleming County at
Young’s Farm Machinery,
located on Morehead Road,
where more than one of the
trailers was located, according to multiple law enforcement officials, who say staff
members of the business
have co-operated fully during
the investigation.
“We just recovered another
trailer today,” Sheriff Sidles
said Monday, adding that the
trailer located was found in
Clark County.
Another trailer was located
at a pawn shop in Mt. Sterling, according to law enforcement sources.
The trailers have been stolen from Fleming, Nicholas,
Mason, Bourbon and Robertson County, and the investigation continues and
expands. Police say they do
have suspects and the suspects though no arrests have
been made in connection with
the thefts as of late Monday
afternoon.
Anyone with any information related to the ongoing investigation is urged to contact
law enforcement officials.

Boil Water Advisory
Sharpsburg Water District has issued a boil
water advisory for customers in Nicholas County.
Customers from the water tower on Whetstone
Road back to the pump station on Scrubgrass
Road will not be affected by this advisory. All
other customers will need to bring water to a
rolling boil for three (3) minutes. This advisory
has been issued due to low chlorine residuals.
The District is working to correct the problem.
Will notify when lifted.

Almost every chair at the
Neal Center was full as Kentucky Teleworks held a free
event to highlight job opportunities in Carlisle and Nicholas County.
The event highlighted a
new and aggressive economic development strategy that
is bringing sustainable-wage
jobs that can be performed
from home to eastern Kentuckians.
Kentucky Teleworks is an
initiative of the Eastern Kentucky Concentrated Employment Program, Inc. (EKCEP),
a Hazard-based workforce development agency.
“Work is no longer a place
you go, it’s something you do,”
said Joshua Ball, manager
of the Kentucky Teleworks
program. “This program is
not about job creation, it is
about creating opportunities
for Kentuckians to work for
progressive and innovative
companies that are leading
the charge to complete in the
global marketplace.”
Forum participants can
learn about the thousands
of telework job opportunities
currently available in a variety of different fields, including: data entry, clerical, medical transcription and coding,
IT support, computer programming, sales, tutoring
and teaching, and a variety
of types of management. Participants will also learn about
the Distance Earning Initiative Skills Inventory, which
Kentucky Teleworks will roll
out in the coming months to
aid in the large-scale creation
of telework jobs across the region.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, more than 8 million people worked from home
in 2005. American companies
like IBM, Dell, American Express and Lockheed Martin have employees who telework. Companies around the
globe are also seeing the vast
benefits of telework.
“Even during a time when
jobs are scarce, IBM has over
2,000 telework opportunities
available,” Ball added. “The
telework strategy helps eliminate some of our state’s greatest barriers when it comes to
job creation: geography and
infrastructure.”
Interested individuals will
receive free resume and interview coaching. They can
also sign up to receive twicea-week telework job postings
emails from the program.
“It’s critical that we do everything we can to link out
talented workforce to the
many telework jobs that are
available,” Ball said. “We
know that there are a lot of
people looking for work, and
a large number of talented
workers here that are underemployed.”
Studies suggest that employees who work from home
are more productive and
tend to miss work less. Telework also can produce massive benefits for the environment. According to the
Telework Exchange, if whitecollar Americans would telework just one day a week,
they would avoid driving 134
billion miles, eliminating 120
tons of pollutants from the air
and saving nearly $162 billion.
For more information about
the program, contact Ball at

Opinion
Heaven Is A Lot Like Kentucky
He didn’t want to think
about it.
But I think about it.
We should all think about
it.
I think about Department
of Defense statistics and I
think about the 18 veterans
of this great nation that take
their own life each and every
day.
That’s right, dear reader,
according to our own Department of Defense, 18 American veterans take their own
life every single day; that’s
540 per month, and this sad
statistic has been running
on at this pace for several
years.
Those veterans aren’t
counted as casualties of any
war but indeed I believe they
are.
I love the soldiers but I
hate the wars.
I think every person has
the right to defend themselves and every nation has a
right to defend itself, but I do
not think any person or any
nation has the right to impose their will upon others.
But I believe that is the reality of the world we live in.
The rich rule the poor and
the strong rule the weak.
And the innocent children
suffer.
I am anti war, but I am a
veteran and I consider myself a patriot. But I do not
believe in blind patriotism. I
think our country has committed mass war crimes in
its history.
We are constantly reminded of the atrocities of World
War Two and the Jewish
Holocaust that by some estimates destroyed six million
European Jewish people.
We are rarely reminded
of the great American Holocaust in which tens of millions of indigenous Native
American people were systematically slaughtered and

WHAT I WANT FOR
CHRISTMAS
By
Charles Mattox
“I will honor Christmas in
my heart, and try to keep it
all the year. I will live in the
Past, the Present, and the Future. The Spirits of all Three
shall strive within me. I will
not shut out the lessons that
they teach.”

Christmas Carol,’ by Charles
Dickens, first published by
Chapman & Hall on 17 December 1843.

Most letters to Santa that
I am aware of, are in a way,
a prayer; a wish or desire for
something that we do not yet
have but want.
I am a Christian and believe in Jesus Christ.
I rarely attend church services; it is only one of my
many failings in this good
life.
I pray in the woods, where
I have always felt closest to
God.
I do not personally feel that
other religions-other human
beings-are inferior to me.
The only thing I am superior or wise in is the fact that
I know I am not superior nor
wise.
I am a student of history
and therefore I am constantly engaged in historical research.
I study the old verbal legends of the Shawnee and
Cherokee and have researched the ancient Native
American Walum Ulamthe birch bark recordings of
the Leni Lennape of North
America.
I study the Bible: Old Testament and King James Version.
I have studied the Koran.
I have studied the Torah.
I have examined the Mayan Popul Vuh- Book of the
People.
I have been studying the
Dead Sea Scrolls for over 2
decades-mostly the archaeological significance of their
discovery, but their translations as well.
I have read the Book of
Mormon.
I believe Christmas is indeed the season to be jolly.
If I were to have any one
thing for Christmas it would
be health and safety for all
children.
Not just my child, but every child of the world, regardless of their religions.
We live in a world consumed with violence and
war.
Our nation appears to
place more value on war
against foreign nations rather than the healthcare and
well-being of our own citizens, even our own veterans.
I am very anti war.
In our current war on terror, which I believe is a total
ruse and waste, and might
very well end up ‘doing more
harm than good,’ I often hear
that, “God is on our side”
I am reminded of the words
of Napoleon Bonaparte who
said “God is on the side with
the best artillery.”
When a friend told me that
in the war on terror, “God is
on our side.” I could only give
him a sheepish grin and say,
“oh really, well tell me hero, who exactly would Jesus
bomb?”
He called me names.

were alien to them.
We live in a time of wars
and rumors of wars. Our national destructive technical
capabilities far exceed our
ability to show compassion,
empathy, forgiveness and
love.
But there is very little
money in compassion, empathy, forgiveness or love, these
days.
The big money is in death
and destruction.
There are billions to be
made on weapons of mass destruction. Our country uses
them every day-we use them
on other countries that don’t
even have them and yet we
have used that as an excuse
to bomb Iraq to oblivion.
We say we are a Christian
nation, but are we a Christian nation? Who would Jesus bomb?
Our national political leaders appear to me to be nothing more than babbling corporate puppets.
All I want for Christmas.
All I ever want in this life is
for our children to be healthy
and safe.
I hope that you and your
loved ones are healthy and
safe this Christmas, dear
reader.
May God bless you, may
God bless the great state of
Kentucky and may God bless
the United States of America; and every other person on
this cosmically small, fragile,
planet we all inhabit and call
earth.
That’s what I want for
Christmas.

Opinion
Bread of Life
Matthew 8:17 That it might
be fulfilled which was spoken
by Esaias the prophet, saying,
“Himself took our infirmities
and bare our sicknesses.”
James 5:13-15 Is any
among you afflicted? Let
him pray, is any merry? Let
him sing Psalms. (14) Is any
sick among you? Let him call
for the elders of the church:
and let them pray over him,
“anointing him with oil in the
name of the lord (15) and the
prayer of faith shall save the
sick, and the lord shall raise
him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
Now I want to pray a healing prayer for you.
First of all, if you have never
given your life to Jesus Christ,
you need to be saved, Romans
10:9-10 says, if you confess
with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart
that God has raised him from
the dead, you will be saved,
for with the heart on believes
to righteousness and with the
mouth confession is made to
salvation. Give Jesus lordship
of your life. Repent of your
sins and confess him as your
lord and savior and as your
healer. Then you can have
confidence to believe god for
your complete healing.
(Prayer) O God, our father,
your word says that you are
a very present help in time of
need. I come to you now on behalf of this person who is suffering with cancer, or some
other serious disease. Father, I ask you; in the name
of Jesus Christ of Nazareth to
touch and heal them.
Distance is no problem for
you, God. As I pray, you are
there with them, even as
close as the very breath that
they breathe, so, I am asking
you to touch their body and
heal them.
Now, you foul disease called
cancer, I speak to you. Go
from this body in the name of
Jesus! I command you, cancerous cells, to wither and die
at the roots in the name of Je-
sus! Devil, I bind your power
in this person’s life and I permit healing to come to them
now, in the name of Jesus!
Father, I ask you to replace
with new cells those that
have been damaged by cancer or any other disease, God,
you can do that, because what
is impossible with man is possible with you. You are a God
who cares, and we believe
you will do it just because we
have asked. You love us that
much.
Father, may strength and
wholeness come into this
person’s body this very day.
Thank you lord for doing it.
I thank you, Jesus that we
will hear good reports from
people who have been healed
because they held fast to their
confession of faith without wavering, because you are faithful who promised, thank you,
father, in Jesus name Amen.

held the Bluejackets to under
10 points in each of the first
three quarters en route to a
78-43 win.
With the victory, Harrison

back-to-back losses to non-district foes Western and Scott.
Nicholas County dropped to
1-5 overall and 1-0 in the district following the loss. The
Jackets were held out of the
win column for their second
straight outing.
Balanced Harrison County featured a dozen different
scorers. Senior forward Caleb

points to lead Harrison County to the district win.
Junior guard Scott Kendall
and freshman forward Trent

figures, netting nine points
apiece for the Thorobreds.
Sophomore guard Grant
Carr and sophomore forward
Joshua Pulliam pushed in
eight points apiece for Harrison County in the triumph.
Harrison County owned

Law enforcement officers, agencies honored for impaired driving enforcement
The Kentucky Office of
Highway Safety (KOHS) today honored 201 law enforcement officers from 185
agencies across the Commonwealth for their efforts to target impaired drivers.
The 2011 Governor’s Impaired Driving Enforcement
Awards ceremony was held
at the Embassy Suites hotel
in Lexington. Awards were
presented to officers with the
most impaired driving arrests
in each agency and division.
“Impaired driving is not an
accident — it’s an epidemic
of careless disregard for human life,” said KOHS Director Bill Bell, who presented
the awards at the ceremony.
“These officers, their departments and agencies render a
great service for public safety by removing drunken and
drugged drivers from our
roads.”
In Kentucky, more than
5,800 impaired crashes resulted in 154 deaths and more
than 3,200 injuries in 2010.
“Public safety improves exponentially every time an impaired driver is removed from
the roadway,” Justice and Public Safety Secretary J. Michael
Brown said. “Were it not for
the actions of these men and
women, there would undoubtedly be more accidents, injuries or worse on our streets
and highways.”
According to the National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), one
out of every three Americans
will be impacted by a drunken
driving crash in their lifetime.
“The decision to drive impaired is not only illegal, but
reckless and irresponsible behavior,” said KSP Commissioner Rodney Brewer. “Law
enforcement officers know
that for every drunken driver
that is removed from the road,
it is potentially one less tragedy some family will have to
face.”
Stephen and Karen Sikra spoke about the effects of
surviving a drunken driving
crash and thanked the officers

and shelter programs run by
local service organizations in

responsible for recommending agencies to receive these
funds and any additional
funds available under this

Board, local agencies chosen

private voluntary nonprofits or units of government, 2)

Funds, 3) have an accounting system, 4) practice nondiscrimination, 5) have demonstrated the capability to

Twenty-six members of the Nicholas County band traveled to Frankfort on Tuesday, December 13, 2011 to march in Gov.
Steve Beshear’s inaugural parade. NC was one of 53 bands from across the state that took part in the once in a life time
event. The students were essentially participating in Kentucky history as it happened.
Popular resolutions
Every year, right before the
clock strikes 12 on December 31,
people far and wide make resolutions for the new year. There
are some common themes from
year to year, with certain resolutions topping the lists.
* Lose weight: Whether they’re inspired by goals of
healthy living, the reality of
stepping on a scale after holiday dining or simply because
clothes have been a little snug,
people often resolve to lose
weight in the year ahead.
* Quit smoking: Individuals are feeling increased pressure to give up the habit due to
smoking bans in many buildings and public spaces. Plus, it’s
one of the worst things a person
can do for his or her health.
* Get fit: In conjunction with

losing weight, the overall quest
for physical fitness drives up
gym membership numbers every January.
* Tame finances: The first
credit card bill after the holiday season may be a wakeup call for those who have had
difficulty balancing a budget.
This is often a time when people make plans to get finances
under control at the start of the
new year.
* Enjoy life more: Many peo-
ple are taking personal happiness into their own hands. Perhaps thanks to a troublesome
economy and other sources of
sour news, it has become common in recent years for resolutions to be made concerning reducing stress and having more
fun. This may involve everything from spending more time
with family to taking time for
leisure activities to simply enjoying more of the hobbies one
finds fun.
