Casey Burchett’s car found in nearby pond on Sunday morning
Body of accident victim found near wooded area
A tragic accident that occured either late
Saturday night or early Sunday morning has
claimed the life of a young Clinton County
woman.
The body of Casey Burchett, 24, of Albany
was found dead Monday morning after more
than 24 hours of searching in the Huntersville
Community.
The call reporting the discovery of Burchett’s
body was made to the Clinton County Dispatch
Center just before 9:00 a.m. Monday.
Deputy Coroner and EMS Director Lonnie
Scott said he pronounced the death of Burchett at
9:15 Monday morning, January 30.
The orginal call was made by Ronnie Cowan
Sunday morning after he had spotted a portion of
the car above the water in a pond.
The scene of the accident was on the Huntersville
Road, about a mile west of the intersection with
U.S. 127 in southern Clinton County, about four
miles south of Albany.
Emergency personnel, vehicles and lighting equipment are shown above surrounding a pond Monday morning on the Huntersville Road, near where the body of Casey
Burchett was discovered. The pond was drained Sunday after her vehicle was spotted
in the water.
Below, the Pontiac Burchett was driving can be seen as it was lifted from the water
by a boom wrecker on Sunday, as the search for Burchett first began.
Dress code issue brings parents out to
SBDMC meeting at Clinton Middle
as anywhere from 20-30 cases of students
with holes in their jeans have been reported
to Principal Pam Bale. Bale stated in the
previous weeks that several students have
been purposely cutting holes in their jeans
in order to get out of doing classroom
work.
At five p.m. Thursday, the meeting was
called to order with all members present.
Principal and SBDMC Chair Bale started
by reading the board’s policy on civility.
Following the reading of the board’s
policy, Bale read the wardrobe policy that
is sent home with every student at the
See BURCHETT, page 10
Search is underway
for superintendent
The lengthy process of choosing a new school
superintendent somewhat unofficially began last
Wednesday afternoon when the Clinton County
Board of Education held about a one-hour “work
session” type meeting with a Kentucky School
Boards Association representative, who filled
the board in on the entire process of how a superintendent is chosen, as well as recommendations
on how to proceed and conduct the search.
Grover “Butch” Canty, former Superintendent of Schools in Ohio County, who now
works for the KSBA in assisting school boards
in the search process, addressed the board--all of
whom were present--and fielded questions they
had about the entire process.
The board, at its regular meeting earlier in
January, had opted to contract with the KSBA
for their assistance in the superintendent search
process.
Canty told board members that on average,
The Clinton County Middle School
Site Based Decision Making Council held
a special call meeting Thursday night,
January 26.
The meeting was called to address the
dress code policy that is in place at the
middle school.
More than 20 parents were on hand
Thursday night to hear the council and to
voice their opinion on the matter.
As it is now, the middle school’s policy
on having holes in pants/jeans is a zero
tolerance policy. The uproar about this
policy has come within the past two weeks
When officials arrived on the scene Sunday
morning, a car was almost completely submerged
in the pond according to Clinton County Sheriff
Rick Riddle.
Riddle said the bumper of the vehicle came off
before it entered the pond. After a licensing plate
check, Riddle then confirmed the vehicle belonged
to Burchett.
“We got the call of a car in a pond around 9:30
or 10,” Riddle said. “We got the car pulled out and
there was nobody in it. We then began to drain the
pond and search for her in the pond.”
Burchett was driving a red 2001 Pontiac Grand
Am when the vehicle left the roadway, traveled
through a fence and into a pond.
The pond was situated just a few yards from
the road.
Riddle said he guessed the pond to be 200 feet
wide by 200 feet long and could have been 15 feet
beginning of the year.
“Students are to avoid extremes and are
to dress appropriately for the occasion.
Students should feel a responsibility to
present an appearance that will reflect
favorably on themselves, their home
and their school. Students, faculty and
school employees are expected to wear
appropriate dress not only at school, but
also at all school sponsored activities.
Students should adhere to the following
guidelines; No holes in jeans or pants
See JEANS, page 6
about 20 superintendent searches (out of 179
school districts) are done each year, but added
there seemed to be more superintendents retiring
or leaving their posts this year.
Superintendent Mickey McFall, who has
served the longest of any superintendent in the
past 30 years, announced in December he would
be retiring effective June 30 of this year. He will
have served more than 10 years in the position
and over 27 years total with the school system.
Canty asked the board members some questions as well about the process and basically had
them to fill in the blanks on some issues, such as
a time line for advertising, dates the screening
committee--once in place--would be required
to meet and when board members themselves
could conduct interviews with applicants.
It is thought that at least nine or more people

Stearns is second to
file for Circuit Clerk
The regular filing deadline
for candidates to be named on
the upcoming May 2012 primary
ballot has now passed. The deadline in most cases was scheduled
for 4 p.m. local prevailing time
this past Tuesday, January 31.
Only a handful of candidates
will be on the upcoming spring
ballot in many counties across
the state, including Clinton
County. However, there will be
at least one contested race on the
ballot in May.
Kathy Stearns has filed for the
office of Clinton Circuit Court
Clerk. Stearns, a former employee in that office, filed against incumbent Jake Staton. Those are
the only two seeking the office
and since both are Republicans,
the primary winner will basically
be the elected clerk for the next
six year term.

I recently went on a medical mission trip to Belize, Central America; I took along a very important
paper and thought I would share the photo and story. On our free day we traveled to Xunantunich, which
is a Mayan archeologic site.The photo is me standing in front of “El Castillo” a Mayan ruin in western
Belize. This pyramid rises 130 feet above the main plaza and offers an impressive panoramic view of
Belize’s Cayo District and nearby Guatemala. I traveled with my professor Martha Hawkins and members from her church in Lancaster, KY and also with four other nursing students from Lindsey Wilson
College. We worked in four different villages and had a total of 1069 visits, gave out 263 pairs of glasses,
and 3781 medications. It was a great experience! A special thanks to all those who sponsored me and
especially for your prayers!

Truth and
Consequences:
The Choice is Yours
Since 2006, our community’s
success with Truth and Consequences: The
Choice is Yours has received attention from
various state and national partners. It has been
presented at a collaborative State Prescription
Drug Workshop, to various Extension partners,
and also discussed with partners at a Roundtable
Discussion involving the White House Office of
National Drug Control Policy. This year,
121 youth and 83 adult volunteers participated
in Truth and Consequences to learn more about
the legal, physical, financial, and emotional
consequences of getting involved in substance
abuse. The program continues to make a huge
impact on student substance abuse related
behavior.

Did you know? Twenty-nine percent of adults in
Clinton County lack physical activity; 16% of
adults are obese; and 13% of adults have been
diagnosed with diabetes?
The Clinton County Extension Service and
Health Coalition sponsored two eight-week series
of the Big Blue Shape Up. The program was
designed to teach basic nutrition and exercise
techniques for improved health and wellness.
Along with a weekly weigh in, lessons focused
on label reading, portion control, community
wellness opportunities, weight loss myths, and
diabetes. Weekly physical activity options ranged
from walking to circuit training using common
household items to zumba.
At the end of the fall series, 35 individuals had
completed the program with a total weight loss of
135.9 pounds. 31 of the 35 individuals completing
the program experienced a decrease in individual
body fat percentage and body mass index.
Farmer’s Market
Efforts have been made to
enhance the Clinton County
Farmers Market by expanding
hours and the number of producers participating.
Digital scales and a new EBT Food Stamp/
Debit Card Machine were available to enhance
services. The Kentucky Department of Agriculture
recertified the Clinton County Farmers Market as
a Kentucky Proud Market and listed the market in
their directory.
These efforts, as well as advertising in local
media outlets, will continue to enhance the
market and provide a market outlet for producers
with locally grown produce, as well as provide a
source of locally grown wholesome food for our
community. As a result of efforts, five producers
are presently GAP Certified (Good Agricultural
Practices) and are selling produce to our local
school system.
Clinton County Fair Exhibit Hall
& Extension Expo
Once again, the Exhibit Hall at the Fair was a
huge success. Seventy-one individuals entered
items with a payout of over $1,850.00 Over 25
Extension volunteers assisted with receiving
entries and creating displays.
Four hundred twelve youth presented classroom
4-H speeches with 33 participating in the County
Speech Competition. Six youth participated in
the Lake Cumberland Area Showcase of the
Stars where of those two youth further advanced
to the state level. Both Addison Bernard and
Haley Dicken received blue ribbons for their
speeches at the State 4-H Communications Day.
Congratulations Addison and Haley!

At the end of the spring eight week series, 27 of
the 53 enrolled individuals lost a collective 159.2
pounds.
As a result of the Big Blue Shape Up, 62
community members have taken a positive step
forward in reaching their personal weight loss
goals.
The event was held at the park in conjunction
with the annual Foothills Festival gospel
singing. Screenings included height and weight,
blood pressure, and body mass index. Child
identification and fingerprinting services were
available along with flu shots. Educational
and community resource booths were set up
along the walking track so participants could
gain knowledge of local health and wellness
opportunities. The high school football team
organized physical activities such as an obstacle
course and
football
toss.
Inflatables
were
available
for the
youth to
encourage
even the
youngest
participants to get active. Participants were
encouraged to walk at least one mile for
incentives. The overall message encouraged
participants to make movement a part of their
daily routine, regardless of age or size. 392
individuals including 134 youth participated in the
event. Screening results identified 127 individuals
with high blood pressure. One-third of participants
had a body mass index in the overweight and
obese categories. This is of concern since people
who are overweight or obese are at higher risk for
chronic conditions such as high blood pressure,
diabetes, and high cholesterol.
This year’s Extension Expo focused on
demonstration of various Plate it Up! Kentucky
Proud recipes and displays on nutrition, healthy
eating, and physical activity.

“I’ve Been Burning Up,
Ever Since I Heard You Preach”
Let’s Go Soul Winning
By the late Dr. Jack Hyles
On a Sunday morning not too long ago I preached something
about Hell. In the mid-afternoon, I received a phone call. A lady
said, “Reverend Hyles, I was in your services this morning. I live in a
distant state. I have been burning ever since I heard you preach this
morning.”
I said, “What do you mean? Do you mean your heart has been
burning?”
“No,” she said, “I’ve been burning. I have been burning ever since
you preached this morning. You preached about Hell. It seems like I
can feel the fires of Hell burning now. I have been burning, literally
burning! My body has been burning ever since this morning. I’ve got
to settle this matter.”
I said, “Could you meet me? Could I see you somewhere? Could
you come to my office or my home?”
“No, I’m leaving on a plane for a distant state,” she said. So, on the
telephone, I told her about Jesus Christ. She bowed her head, prayed
the sinner’s prayer over the telephone and was saved. Her burning
stopped!
Several of our teenagers were out soul winning on a recent Saturday evening. They came to a place where there was a fire. A great
crowd was gathered and fire trucks were there. Some business place
was burning. The kids gathered around watching and one of the
young people looked over to a fellow beside him and said, “Boy, how
would you like to be in there?”
He said, “Of course, I wouldn’t like it!”
“Well, are you going to be in a place like that some of these days?”
“What are you talking about?”
“Well, those that are not saved have to spend eternity in a place
like that.” Those kids walked around that big fire winning people to
Christ reminding them that Hell is going to be exactly like that.
“Well,” you say, “I don’t believe all of that.”
The Bible teaches it.
“Well,” you say, “Brother Hyles, I don’t believe that it means what
it says.”
If it doesn’t mean what it says, why didn’t God say what He
meant?

Every Sunday morning at 10:30 a.m.

Clinton County Board of
Education held a somewhat
“informal” special meeting last
Wednesday, January 25 that lasted an hour-and-a-half total with
no action necessary regarding
any issue that was brought up.
All members, as well as Board
Attorney Lindsey Bell, were
present for the call session.
The only primary reason for
the meeting was a training session with a Kentucky School
Boards Association consultant
pertaining to the hiring process
of a new superintendent. The
board had earlier agreed to contract with KSBA to assist them in
the selection process. (A separate
article on that training session
can be found beginning on page
1.)
Following the meeting being
adjourned, the board continued
to discuss two more issues.
However, since the meeting was
a call session with only one item
of business, no action could be
taken, other than general discussion.
Some board members discussed a middle school dress
code policy and issues that had
come up with that code and the
punishment that had been handed
out to students as a result.
The Site Base Decision Making Council at the school was in
charge of writing and enforcing
the dress code.
Board member Paula Key
said that if a dress code was in
place, both students and staff
should follow those guidelines.
The policy as written was also to
help with the enforcement of the
code, she said, adding, “I hope
they (CCMS-SBDM Council)
can come up with a clear code.”
She also said the controversy that
had arisen is affecting the learning process.
Board Attorney Bell also
concurred that the school board
itself, if necessary, could set
its own policy pertaining to a
dress code and its enforcement
that could supersede the school
council’s policy. However, the
board didn’t go as far as deeming
that necessary at this time.
The middle school SBDM
Council held a call meeting on
the issue last Thursday evening,
January 26 and a separate detailed article on that meeting can
be found beginning on page one
of this week’s edition.
Board member Kevin Marcum also suggested that prices
for students to get into basketball games should be reduced,
which he feels would allow more
students to be able to afford to attend home games.
Board members Key and
Goldie Stonecipher agreed, with
Key saying a free pass to students to home games may be tied
into trying to help attendance.
This would be something of
the effect of giving free passes
to students to some games who
have perfect attendance for a
month. The board may consider
those suggestions later on.
Key also touched upon the
need for better security at the
door during basketball games,
inferring that in some instances,
once games are well underway,
some people are basically getting
in free.
The next regular meeting of

The faculty and staff in the six career and
technical education programs at Clinton County
Area Technology Center have implemented a
“Student of the Month” program where a specific
character trait is selected each month, and
instructors in each department select one student
who most nearly exemplifies that character trait
while attending Clinton County ATC.
Shown from each department are students who
most nearly exemplified the character trait of team
player and who represent December’s Students of
the Month.
Instructors used a set of guidelines defining
team player and selected a student according to
those guidelines. The faculty and staff are proud
to honor deserving students with a certificate of
appreciation and with a school lobby photo display
during the month following their selection.

that are concerning our dress
code. Obviously there are concerns with the dress code.”
Before Bale opened the meeting up and asked for the public’s
input, council members stated
their opinion and commented on
the dress code.
Council member Tim Duvall
said there have been several policies in the past and most all of
them have come with opposition.
“We’ve had tips of the fingers and below the knees and it
always seems to be an issue of
where the knee is at,” Duvall
said. “Last year, I thought if there
was an issue of where the knees
were at then let’s have no holes at
all ... We have to have some sort
of dress code that everybody will
normally follow, but you have
to have rules for the ones who
won’t follow it. That’s why we
have a policy.”
Following Duvall’s statement,
councilmember/teacher Lonnie
Brown said the school has had
policies where holes in the knees
were acceptable.
“The holes in the knees went
from the knee to the center of the
thigh, then it went from the thigh
to the center of the pocket and
then to the back pockets,” Brown
said. “That becomes an issue.
Not only for educational reasons,
because number one, students
are distracted by what other students are wearing. Number two,
it’s also a safety issue when you
start looking at children in the
upper grades, especially with the
girls and the boys and the way
their hormones rage and the way
they behave around each other. I
was not on the council when they
adopted this policy, but I will tell
you now I do support this policy
because it eliminates the idea of
the hole period!”
Following Brown’s statement to the parents and public,
councilmember Jerry Starns,
who has been a part of the SBDMC since 2004 minus one year,
spoke about his opinion about
the policy. Starns disagrees with
the policy and thinks it should be
amended.
“I disagree with this policy
and I was on the committee when
this policy was adopted and I disagreed with it then and I disagree
with it now,” Starns said. “I do
understand the problem with the
holes in the knees and how they
got bigger and spread out over
the years and they got in other
places, but instead of making the
policy where we could manage
it before with a small group that
was breaking the policy then,
now we’ve opened the policy
up to 600 kids. I think we’ve really over exaggerated the situation here and I don’t think there
was anything wrong with the
policy we had, with the holes in
the knees and below the knees ...
The problem we have now is enforcing the policy and I think the
policy is too extreme.”
After Starns spoke, the public
got involved and started firing
questions at the board members. Some were asking how this
policy could be fair while others
were putting blame on the teachers for wearing tight fitting shirts.
One parent stood up and told
a story about how his child had
gone to a teacher and explained

said. “As we are here tonight, on

about consistency. It’s not about
who you are, it’s about consistency and that’s what I try to be.”
Bale said she tried to be consistent at the beginning of the
year up until one child’s parents
couldn’t bring the student a pair
of pants, therefore putting the
child in detention for the remainder of the school day.
“There goes my consistency,”
Bale said. “I had a parent call and
say ‘Look, this isn’t fair. I have to
work. I couldn’t bring my child a
pair of pants and therefore had to
spend the time in time out and the
other child got to change.’ I just
want kids to learn. We have two

vidual punishment for those who
clearly opposed a dress code.
“But you can’t punish every
student for it,” Stinson said.
“I’m not,” Bale replied, “I
want them to follow the rules.”
Angela Sloan was also on
hand for Thursday’s meeting and
voiced her opinion on the matter.
“As I listen to the parents and
listen to Mrs. Bale and the members, that I think sometimes we
get off track. I’m sure each and
every person can tell an individual story and that’s the case
with anyone at any point in time,
but looking at it as a whole, and
I understand this, when you have
a rule, Mrs. Bale’s job is, when
she is hired, to enforce the rules
as they are. Now, if as parents,
many of you who are not satisfied
with that rule, then perhaps what
you could be doing is directing
site based in a way that would be
a better way to write that rule,”
Sloan said. “I’m finding that part
of what I’m hearing is don’t punish a kid because they are a good
kid ... Well, good kid or bad kid,
if there is such a thing, a rule is a
rule is a rule and it should apply
across the board and if it says “no
holes” and that’s apparently what
it says, that’s what she (Bale)
has to go by, that’s what teachers
have to go by and that’s what I
want them to go by. I want my
child, when he comes here, to
know that’s the rule and if you
break that rule you are going to
get in trouble and if this one over
here breaks the rule then they are
going to get in trouble. That’s the
way it should be.”
One concern many of the parents had was the economic aspect of the policy.
Several parents said they
couldn’t afford to buy pants for
their child every time a small
hole is torn in the leg of their
pants.
“Whatever policy is in place,
I think they tried to be consistent. We’ve tried to be consistent
on whatever the policy is,” Josh
Moons, teacher/board member
said. “I would be glad to hear the
policy for next year or to change
it.”
After several more parents
voiced opinions and asked questions, it was clear the same concern was on the minds of the parents who attended the meeting.
“I appreciate Mrs. Bale and
what she does because we have
more discipline in the school,
however, I disagree with this because I think it should be an individual case for each student,”
Stinson said. “These kids, they
have to have some way to express themselves. There are three
different schools here and they
all have different dress codes. I
see all these different dress codes
and they all say different things.
I think it’s an individual thing.”
Jennifer Harlan made the
point that some of the kids who
are cutting holes in their pants on
purpose are getting a reward by
not having to go to class.
“That’s their reward,” Harlan
said. “My problem is I think the
policies should be a little bit closer to the same.”
Other than the economic aspect brought up at the meeting,
the physiological aspect was
brought up as Greg Claborn
made his statement.
“My kid doesn’t need any
more distraction than he already
has,” Claborn said. “He’s not
gotten in trouble for holes in the
pants, but he worries about it.
It’s a big topic and it’s all they’re
talking about and it needs to go
away. I come to the meetings
and I sit in the gym and listen to
how important it is for our kids
to come to school and be in the
classroom. If the punishment is
to pull them out of the classroom
and put them into detention,
that’s going against what we all
have agreed is important. To me,
the parents need to be responsible as well. I do think a more
reasonable policy is the policy
we had last year and that would
be below the fingertips. The main
thing is even the student who
have not gone to detention are
being affected by this.”
Claborn went on to say he
believes when the policy was
written there wasn’t any ill intent, but, he said policies can be
rewritten everyday.
“I do believe we need a policy
and I do believe it needs to be enforced, but I do believe we can
agree that it needs to be a more
reasonable policy.”
Bale said several times during
the meeting that she is there to facilitate in providing an education
for the kids of Clinton County.
As the meeting continued, it was
clear a new policy would probably be drafted.
“My purpose is to provide an
education for the students. The
policies and procedures that are
in place, it is my job, whether I
agree with them or not, to follow
them,” Bale said. “This policy on
the student appearance, some of
it was already in place and some
of it has been amended such as
the no holes. I’m not telling you
that’s the answer and the best
way to handle it.”
Bale said the teachers voted
for the “no holes” policy to keep
from spending a lot time talking
about and looking at dress code
issues instead of teaching.
“That was the purpose of this
policy,” Bale said. “It was not to
punish anybody, but at the same
time, when you have students
who do this purposely then you
have an office full of students
who are not getting an education.”
Bale said once the students
were sent to time out, they were
given their assignments to complete while in detention.
“The day the phone call came
that I think caused a lot of the
eruption, we had students purposely taking scissors and cutting holes in their pants so they
didn’t have to give a speech,”
Bale said. “Those students who
didn’t have their speech were assigned Saturday School. If you
don’t complete your assignment,
then you go to Saturday School
to complete it. Once that was
assigned, I had an office full of
parents that looked me in the eye
and said ‘I’m not sending my
child to Saturday School.’ So,
there went the instructional purpose of the speech.
I signed up for this. I’m not
complaining and I knew this is
what we were coming into, but
I need to hear from you (parents) now, what is an appropriate
policy?” Bale asked. “As we go
through the process of revising
this policy, please come to the
meetings. I would love to have
the parent involvement in all of
the things that we do, such as
math night and reading night.
That would be wonderful. Don’t
wait until it’s a situation like this.
I’m up front about everything.
If you ever have a question, call
me. I’m willing to talk with you
and I’m willing to work with
you.”
After about an hour and a half
of hearing both sides, an unexpected event happened that put
a stop to the meeting. A woman
who attended the meeting presented with drawing of the face
and left hand. As soon as the situation was recognized, an ambulance was called to the meeting
to provide medical attention.
It is not clear what brought
on the medical condition of the
woman and her condition after
the conclusion of the meeting
was unclear.
Once paramedics took the
woman into the hall, several
comments were made to conclude the meeting.
The one hour and 48 minute
meeting saw the council agree to
rewrite the policy. The policy has
to go through two readings and
then a vote to adopt the policy is
made during a meeting.
“I want this to be a good policy,” Bale said. “At our next regular meeting, which is the third
Monday of the month, it will be
addressed and we will start the
process of writing the policy. We
want parent involvement.”
The policy will take a couple
of meetings before it is ready to
be enacted. Until that time, Bale
said the current policy in place
will be what administrators have
to go by if any more situations
come about.
“This is not something we do
in a month and its over with,”
Bale said. “Also understand the
policy as it stands. Please try to
adhere to that policy until that
policy changes. It may be April
it might be May ... I don’t know.
I have heard your comments,
I have heard your concerns ... I
will use my common sense.”
At 6:48 p.m., Moons made a
motion to adjourn and the motion
was seconded by Brown.
The next regular meeting
for the Clinton County Middle
School SBDMC will be held on
Monday, February 20. The meeting is open to the public.

The Bulldogs move to 18-3
on the season with the two wins
this week.
Monday
night’s
contest
wasn’t much of a contest for the
Bulldogs, but it was a way for
Clinton County to get back into
its normal style of playing after
suffering back to back losses
against Glasgow and Jackson
County two weeks ago.
The Bulldogs jumped out to
an early 6-0 run before Monticello would score. After the Trojans hit a field goal, the Bulldogs
completely shut out Monticello
for the rest of the quarter, scoring 17 more points for a 23-2
first quarter advantage.
During the second quarter,
Monticello continued to struggle
from the floor, but managed to
get more shots off during the period.
With 2:12 remaining in the
half, Head Coach Todd Messer
had already played nine players
and picked up a 30 point lead,
40-10.
Clinton County continued to
dominate on the offensive side
putting up 26 points in the period
alone for a halftime lead, 49-16.
During the third quarter, Clinton County didn’t let up and
continued to play with precision,
picking up a 47 point lead with
1:40 on the clock, 71-24.
Monticello finished the quarter with a 6-0 run, after Clinton
County’s starters had come out
of the game and the reserves had
taken the floor, 71-30.
The final period saw the entire bench make an appearance.
The Bulldogs allowed Monticello to score 27 points during

Clinton County picked up a
game Saturday night that wasn’t
on the original schedule and
hosted Bethlehem at the Castle in
hopes of picking up a win against
the 2-17 Bethleham.
Head Coach Darrell Thompson said the Lady Banshees shot
74 percent from the floor during
the second half and 85 percent
from the free throw line for the
game.
The Lady Dawgs lost the contest, 66-60.
During the first quarter, Clinton County scored 10 points to
tie Bethlehem after one.
The Lady Dawgs started the
game with a 9-2 run, but Bethlehem finished the quarter with an
8-1 run for a first quarter score
tied at 10.
During the second quarter,
Stalcup went to the line during
the first 20 seconds to hit two of
two to regain the lead, 12-10.
The score went back and forth
for the Lady Dawgs over several
minutes during the second period, but finally grabbed a five
point lead with 5:06 on the clock,
18-13.
The Lady Dawgs continued to
lead the quarter and finished the
half with a six point favor, 25-19.

The Lady Dawgs got to within three points on a three pointer
by Shyanne McWhorter with 40
second remaining in the third,
39-36, but Bethlehem hit two
shots from the foul line to finish
the third quarter with a five point
lead, 41-36.
During the final period, defense wasn’t much of a factor as
both teams went back and forth
on the offensive side of the floor.
The Lady Dawgs only scored
two less points than Bethleham
in the final period, 25-23, but the
Lady Banshees held on for the
win, 66-60.

On Tuesday, January 24, the
Lady Dawgs hosted McCreary
County in a junior varsity/varsity
game at Lindle Castle Gymnasium.
The game resulted in a loss
for the Lady Dawgs as several
players, as well as Head Coach
Darrell Thompson were out for
the game.
Thompson was out of town
due to a death in the family, while
Justice Boils and Macy Campbell were on the injured list.
The game started slow for
both teams as Clinton County
allowed McCreary County to
score five points before grabbing
a bucket.
Ansley Stalcup got on the
board first for the Lady Dawgs
and as it would turn out, would
be the only field goal scored
in the first quarter for Clinton
County.
McCreary County led the
game at the end of the first period, 14-2.
With work cut out for them,
Clinton County continued to
struggle on the offensive side of
the floor going one of 18 from
the field during the first quarter
and two minutes of the game.
Breonia Thurman hit a three
pointer with 6:14 on the clock,
and McCreary County answered
with a field goal to extend its lead
to 15 points, 20-5.
Stalcup scored two points
from the free throw line to cut
the lead to 13, but a basket by the
Lady Raiders extended the lead
back to 15 points with 4:15 on

the clock, 22-7.
Stalcup stepped up and hit
a three pointer with more than
two minutes before halftime,
but a three pointer by McCreary
County showed a 15 point lead
with 1:49 on the clock.
Clinton County managed to
score 13 points total in the first
half as Thurman hit a bucket, followed by a free throw by Stalcup
to end the half, 25-13.
During the second half, McCreary County started off with a
three pointer, 28-13, but an 8-0
run by the Lady Dawgs put Clinton County to within nine points,
30-21.
McCreary County went three
for four from the line to lead
by 12, but a basket by Veronica
Lowhorn cut the lead to 10 with
4:10 on the clock.
Lowhorn then hit another
basket, followed by a field goal
by Stalcup to cut the lead to six
points with 3:11 remaining in the
third period.
The Lady Raiders then scored
five straight points for a 36-27
lead, but Lowhorn again scored
to keep the Lady Dawgs in the
fight, 38-29.
With 1:29 on the clock, Lowhorn scored another basket to cut
McCreary’s lead to seven points,
but the Lady Raiders hit a field
goal with a little more than a
minute on the clock for a 40-31
lead.
The Lady Bulldogs didn’t
give up, trailing at the end of the
third quarter by only 10 points,
44-34.
At the start of the fourth quarter, McCreary County took control scoring back to back field
goals and leading by 14 points.
The Lady Dawgs’ Shyanne
McWhorter and Kayla Dicken
combined for four points to cut
the lead to 10, but a 6-0 run by
McCreary Central put the Lady
Raiders up 55-38 with 2:02 on
the clock.
During the final two minutes, Clinton County scored six
points compared to McCreary’s
two points, but the damage had

Home games are nearing an end
It’s always a sure sign that roundball is coming to an end when I
begin getting to the home games and there’s still a little daylight left
in the western horizon.
Well, it’s happening.
This 2011-2012 basketball season is fastly running out of time,
and as I mentioned last week, we’ll be in the post-game run before
we know it. Looking at the schedule, both the Lady Dawgs and
Bulldogs will finish the year out pretty much riding the bus back and
forth to the games.
The Lady Dawgs play host to Monticello this Saturday night in a
5:00 p.m. JV tip-off. Both squads will play host to Monroe County
next Friday night, February 10, with the ladies tipping off at 6:00.
Then - well, as of right now, that’s it - no more home games. I
will note that as is always the case - that’s subject to change, and
Bulldog Coach Todd Messer is still trying to add a single home game
sometime in February, but as of press deadlines this week, it had not
been finalized.
Bottom line is that with a total of 13 more outings still to be
played, only two of those are slated for a home-stand.
The season is set to end with a Thursday, February 16 trip to Barren County and of course the Basketball Booster Club Radio Auction
is set for Friday, February 17.
Fill the tank.
Schedule update
A couple of scheduling changes to note at this time include the
scratching of next week’s February 6 boys’ game against Glasgow,
and in it’s place, pencil in a boys’ game against Russell County - at
Russell County. That’s a make-up from an earlier inclement weather
postponement.
The upcoming trip this weekend for the Bulldogs to the Riverside
Classic over in the 14th Region will see the Bulldogs playing Oldham County on Friday with a 7:15 p.m. tip, followed by a Saturday
match-up against Greenup County at 11:00 a.m.
Visiting with an old friend
I spent a few minutes this past Monday night in the halls of Monticello Independent schools chatting about old times with former
Clinton County Lady Bulldog head coach Gary Abbott.
Of course Abbott led our Lady Dawgs for five seasons - 1998 2003, which included an All “A” State Championship and a KHSAA
State semi-finalist finish.
Gary gave up his coaching hat and traded in for a spot on up
the ladder - he is of course now the Superintendent of Monticello
Independent Schools. He’s doing fine, enjoying the work, and said
he still occasionally catches himself yelling at referees from time to
time. It was good to spend a few minutes with an old friend.

Federal changes are now in place
for Kentucky CDL holders
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet and Clinton Circuit Clerk Jake Staton are informing holders of Commercial Driver Licenses, or CDLs, of
new federal mandates that went into effect this past
Monday, January 30.
The important changes for holders of a Kentucky Commercial Driver License (CDL) began
this week as the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet
implemented a federally mandated dababase project aimed at improving highway safety.
The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration requires CDL holders or applicants to provide
medical certification that they are healthy enough
to drive. As of January 30, the information is now
entered into a national database--the Commercial
Driver License Information System (CDLIS).
“Highway safety has been, and continues to
be, a high priority of the Kentucky Transportation
Cabinet,” KYTC Secretary Mike Hancock said. “It
is in the public interest to do what we can to assure
that CDL operators are medically fit to drive. And
it is important for these operators to be aware that
the licensing process has additional requirements
that are going to take more time. They should not
wait until their deadline for renewal.”
For Kentucky CDL holders or applicants, the
CDLIS modernization project means that critical
information must be submitted to the KYTC Division of Driver Licensing in Frankfort “before” the
CDL can be renewed or issued by a circuit court
clerk.
The required information includes a license application and a valid medical card. It also includes,

instead stopped several feet from

“It was deep enough that there

The vehicle was found on

which drivers or applicants state whether they will
be operating in interstate commerce or only within
Kentucky or engaging in transportation that is exempted from driver qualification requirements.
Processing at the Division of Driver Licensing
will take seven to 14 days. Circuit court clerks will
no longer be able to enter medical information into
an electronic record system. According to Staton, if
a driver receives an approval letter, you are to bring
it to the circuit clerk’s office for license renewal.
The cabinet is trying to ease the transition. CDL
holders whose medical certifications are within 60
days of expiration are being notified of the new
process by mail. First-time applicants are being
sent a packet of information that explains the new
process and includes the license application, medical examination report and self-certification form.
Kentucky has about 150,000 CDL holders, including operators of commercial motor vehicles
over 26,000 lbs, federally placarded hazardous
material vehicles, school buses and other vehicles
that can carry 16 or more passengers. Information
is available at: http://transportation.ky.gov/DriverLicensing/Pages/Applying-for-a-CDL.aspx.
Circuit Clerk Staton said, “As with any changes
there are always questions, so please feel free to
contact my office and we will be glad to assist you
with your concerns.” He concluded, “again, let
me emphasize what Secretary Hancock said, ‘you
should not wait until your deadline for renewal’ to

the GOP incumbent, had been
the only candidate to file for that
40th judicial circuit judgeship.
There will also be the race for
First District U.S. House of Representatives and Kentucky House

due to recent state redistricting
that vastly affects both state and
federal house districts, legal opposition has been filed and a ruling was to be made prior to any
official filing deadlines.
As it currently stands, Clinton County would be moved
from the 83rd House District to

may involve taking nominations
from other parents and holding
a ‘parent election,’ setting a specific day and location for parents
to vote.
Canty recommended that after applications are received and
given to the screening committee for review, the next meeting
shouldn’t be for at least a week
in the process, since it will take
time to check references and
backgrounds of the applicants.
Sometime in April, the board
will have a joint meeting with
the screening committee and the
dates for the actual interview
process was tentatively scheduled for April 24 through May
7. It is hoped a person is hired
to fill the position by the end of
May, giving the incoming superintendent some transition time to
work with Supt. McFall. However, the official position job duty
would not take effect until July 1.
Canty also advised the board
to not release the name of the
person hired until after a contract had been agreed upon and
also noted that confidentiality of
applicants was very important in
the selection process.
The board will also be supplied with sample contracts,
salary schedules, and was given
a copy of the sample advertisement that will be running for the
next two months.
Canty also recommended that
each board member, during the
interview process, ask about three
questions each--all with different
specific questions--when interviewing the person applying and
further recommended they begin
developing those questions early.
Carol Parrigin, who works in
the Central Office, was chosen as
point person between the screening committee and board members.
During the work session,
Canty told board members, “As a
school board, the most important
thing you do is hire the superintendent.” The superintendent
works more with the board than
anyone, he added.

get to do the search and we found

Riddle said he doesn’t suspect foul play to be involved.
It is suspected Burchett died of
hypothermia, but cause of death
won’t be known until an autopsy
is performed.
The temperature reached a
recorded low that night of just

According to a press release

It’s been 150 years since
Union and Confederate troops
clashed in the Battle of Mill
Springs, set in the rolling hills
of Nancy, Ky., but the battle--and
those who waged it--have not
been forgotten.
“I want to reinforce the notion
that it is extremely important we
preserve and protect these battlefields and the history associated
with each because they serve as a
physical reminder of our national
sacrifice, a spiritual reminder of
what our forefathers invested in
us,” said Brig. Gen. Robert Alan
Harris, the keynote speaker during last Saturday’s event held to
remember the 150th anniversary
of the battle. “And as a guidepost
for our future direction as a nation.”
A large crowd gathered at
Zollicoffer Park, located on Ky.
235 in Nancy, Ky., last Saturday to brave the cold weather
in honoring those who served
in the Battle of Mill Springs,
which was fought around 150
years ago.
The battle, which claimed
148 Confederate soldiers and 50
Union soldiers, occurred on January 19, 1862 and served as one
of the first major victories in the
west for the Union Army, and it
would set the stage for a number
of strategic setbacks in the area
for the Confederate forces.
On Saturday, a group of volunteers held a reenactment of the
battle, which lasted only around
four hours when it was fought in
1862, for a crowd of spectators,
many of whom had never seen
such an event before.
The massive cannon booms
and the sounds of gunfire echoed
across the area during Saturday’s
reenactment, giving a reminder-albeit on a smaller scale--of
what the actual battle would’ve
sounded like 150 years ago.
The reenactment followed an
introduction ceremony, hosted
by new Mill Springs Battlefield
Association President Bruce
Burkett, which also featured
the honoring of Bill Neikirk,
who had long served as the
association’s president and in
other major positions since the
Page 11
REGIONAL NEWS
association’s beginnings around
20 years ago.
“It’s been my honor to actually be in charge of this for 20
years,” Neikirk said. “It’s time
for the next generation to do
some work on it. I hope these
young people here in the front
row are here 20 years from now
taking it over from us and keeping it going,” Neikirk said.
Chris Girdler, with Congressman Hal Rogers’ office, was
also on hand to express Rogers’
support of the battlefield association’s efforts.
A ribbon cutting was held last
Saturday before the reenactment
to officially unveil a 16-acre tract
of battlefield land to be purchased
by the Civil War Trust and to be
preserved by the MSBA.
TIMES
JOURNAL
Russell Springs
In a meeting that lasted the
better part of three hours last
Thursday, the Russell County
Hospital Board continued to
progress toward a major expansion of the hospital complex.
It was reported that a financial
feasibility study would support the expansion, assuming a
forecast of three percent to four
percent increase a year in charges
from 2012 through 2015.
Under the feasibility study
operating income would remain
positive except for a small loss
for the year in which the building
of the new structure would take
place.
The study assumed a $21 million loan which factors in to the
$22.5 million total project cost,
with the hospital adding about
$1.4 million.
Of the estimated $1.1 million
that would be due every year
on the project, it’s estimated
that about $756,000 would be
received via cost reimbursement
through Medicare.
Discussion on the possible
expansion lasted well over an
hour and incorporated many aspects of the project beyond the
construction itself.
A brief breakdown of how
funds will be utilized include
(rounded and approximated): $11
million new construction; $1.3
million site preparation; $1.6 million renovation of nearly 18,000
sq. ft. existing space, $500,000 in
refurbishing 12,000 sq. ft. of hall
and patient rooms; $1.6 million
in new medical equipment; $1.3
million owner furnished; a little
under $900,000 in professional
fees/surveying/testing; and $3
million in debt service.
The 38 year loan would cost
just under $1.1 million a year,
with nearly three quarters of
that being paid for through government programs the hospital
is eligible for through being a
“Critical Access Hospital,” a
designation for rural hospitals
in impoverished areas that meet
certain criteria.
The hospital will be responsible for $380,000 a year to pay
on the expansion loan.
“Presently we’ve been paying
down our debt at about $24,000
a month, and we’ve also been
putting away in savings about
$17,000 a month,” said David
Rasmussen, CEO of Russell
County Hospital, “and that works
out to be $492,000 on an annual
basis...We’re still ahead by about
$111,000.”
Board Chair Chris McQueary
said he had been questioned
about what indicates that the
new facility would necessarily
mean increased business for the
hospital, justifying the expense
of expansion.
Rasmussen said there were a
couple of factors; the newer facility would draw more volume,
particularly in surgery and that
a new and bigger facility does
influence a potential patient’s decision on being treated there.
Radiology
and
Nuclear
Medicine Specialist Doctor Jerry
Westerfield and Surgeon Arthur
Canos, along with other hospital
personnel expressed that a newer, better equipped facility would
be a much greater draw for new
physicians, a problem the hospital at times has labored under.
Beyond a few questions of
assurance of the long term feasibility of the expansion there
was little that could be considered as opposition to the plan.

A Russell County man was ar-
rested early last Saturday morning in Lebanon and charged with
first degree assault, according to
Kentucky State Police.
Frankie McGowan, 32, was
taken into custody around 12:20
a.m. by Trooper Josh Dicken following a traffic stop on the Lebanon Bypass south of Lebanon in
Marion County.
Dicken suspected that the operator of the red four-door Ford
was under the influence, thus
making the stop. The vehicle was
being driven by Tiffany Bruflat,
also of Russell Springs.
As Trooper Dicken was administering field sobriety tests,
he noticed that the four other
passengers in the vehicle had
become agitated and extremely
loud, according to the KSP report. When Dicken approached
the car he was advised by a female passenger that McGowan
had stabbed 28-year-old Charles
Bruflat in the side.
Dicken removed Bluflat from
the car, verified the injury and
notified EMS. He then removed
McGowan from the car, secured
a small Case knife and arrested
him.
Bruflat was transported to
Springview Medical Hospital in
Lebanon where he was treated
and released. McGowan was
lodged in Marion County Detention Center and Tiffany Bruflat
was lodged by the Lebanon
Police Department for driving
under the influence.
The two other passengers,
28-year-old Michael Hadley of
Jamestown and 33-year-old Kendra Dalton of Somerset, were
charged by local officers with
alcohol intoxication and also
lodged in Marion County Detention Center.

A Russell Springs woman is

by Kerns on second degree burglary, theft by unlawful taking
over $500 and theft of controlled
substances charges.
According to police, she is
accused of breaking into June
Johnson’s Jamestown home a

Kerns said that jewelry and
prescription medication was
stolen from the home. The investigation continues by Sgt. Kerns
as well as Russell Springs Police
Officer Nathan Bradshaw.
Grant was lodged in Russell

Wednesday, January 25, at the
First United Methodist Church in
Tompkinsville.
A native of Burkesville, he
and his wife, Sue (Cole) Young,
moved to Tompkinsville in 1951
and had made their home there
since that time.
Young served as County
Judge from 1996 until 2002 and
as County Sheriff from 1965 to
1969.
He had previously served as
Tompkinsville’s Police Chief,
also had worked as a funeral director and was a former grocery
store owner.
A Fentress County man who
is being held on robbery charges
in Crossville is also facing charges in one of the armed robberies
that have occurred in Cookeville
in recent weeks, police said last
Monday, January 23.
Cookeville Police Major
Nathan Honeycutt identified the
suspect as Deddric A. Polk, 34,
and said Detective Sgt. Tammy
Goolsby is preparing a case
against Polk to present to the
Putnam Grand Jury in February.
The detective will present
evidence that it was Deddric A.
Polk who robbed the 3D Financial store on S. Jefferson Avenue
on Thursday, January 12. She is
seeking to charge Polk with aggravated armed robbery in the
case, Major Honeycutt said.
“He is currently in jail in
Crossville on a robbery charge
there, and we have placed a hold
on him to be brought here after
the case there,” Honeycutt said.
Polk was arrested by the
Crossville Police Department in
that case on Thursday, January

A store surveillance photo of
the robber was later published in
The Herald Citizen and on Internet sites. He was described as a
black male, about six feet tall,
with a heavy build, wearing a
white T-shirt, a gray hoodie, and
blue jeans.
“We have been investigating
all these cases very carefully and
have shared information with
investigators in other counties
and cities and we now have compelling evidence to present to
the grand jury in this one case,”
Honeycutt said.
All the other cases remain
under investigation.

Are you 65?
Homestead Exemption
According to Kentuckyʼs Constitution, property owners who are
65 or older or who will turn 65 this year are eligible to receive
a homestead exemption. If you are eligible, the amount of the
exemption is subtracted from your propertyʼs assessed value
- so you will pay less property tax.
According to Kentucky statutes, the exemption amount is reviewed
every two years to reflect the increase in the cost of living index
used by the United States Department of Labor. For 2011-2012,
the exemption is $34,000.
Only one exemption is allowed per household. When an
application is approved, it is valid for subsequent years as long
as the original applicant owns and lives on the property. If the
property is sold, the seller should contact the PVA office to
advise of the address change. The exemption will be taken off
the old property and placed on the new property. In other words,
the exemption is tied to the owner, not to the property. Those
who currently receive the exemption need not reapply.
Application Procedure - It is easy to apply! Simply bring your
driverʼs license or Medicare card by the PVA office and complete
the application.

Symbionese Liberation Army abducts Patty Hearst
February 4, 1974
Patricia Hearst, 19 year old daughter of publishing billionaire William Randolph
Hearst, was kidnapped from her Berkeley, California apartment. Stephen Weed,
Hearst’s fiance, was beaten unconscious by the two abductors. Soon, a ransom
demand came from the Symbionese Liberation Army (SLA), a radical activist group
led by Donald DeFreeze.
The SLA instructed William Hearst to distribute $70 in food for every poor person
from Santa Rosa to Los Angeles. Hearst agreed to give away $2 million to the
poor in Oakland to have Patty released. More than 10,000 people fought over the
food and a riot broke out. Afterwards, the SLA demanded an additional $6 million
giveaway, but Hearst refused and Patty was not released.
The Hearst story took a strange turn when two months after the abduction, the
SLA robbed the Hibernia Bank in San Francisco. The surveillance cameras clearly
showed Patty Hearst was one of the machine gun toting robbers. Soon after followed
a taped message from the SLA in which Hearst claimed she had voluntarily joined
the SLA and was now to be know as “Tania.”
On May 17, 1974, police were tipped to the location of the SLA leaders in a Los
Angeles home. With 400 police and FBI agents outside the house, a tremendous
gun battle broke out. The police threw gas canisters into the house and then shot
at them, sparking a fire in which DeFreeze and five other SLA members died.
However, Hearst was not inside the house. She was not found until September
1975.
Hearst was put on trial and convicted, spending almost two years in jail. President
Carter commuted her sentence.

February 7, 1881
Albert McKenzie pleads guilty to a misdemeanor count of embezzlement in
Alameda County, California. McKenzie had originally been charged with a felony for
taking $52.50 from the sewing machine company for which he worked. However,
rather than go through a trial, the prosecution and defendant agreed to a plea
bargain, a practice that was becoming increasingly common in American courts.
The right to a trial by jury was considered a central part of the justice system
in the early days of the United States. The 7th amendment of the Bill of Rights
codified it as an essential part of Americans’ civil liberties. When criminals were
caught and charged, the government went through a trial and verdict. But in the
1800s, a trend toward plea bargaining began. In Alameda County, from 1880 to
1910, nearly 10 percent of defendants changed their “not guilty” pleas to “guilty of
Tammy Waid McClellan lesser charges” or pled guilty to reduced charges.
Today, the plea bargain is an essential part of the criminal justice system. The

Akers

Sugar Plum Daycare
near the Somerset Community
College Clinton Center.
Akers spoke to the public
about the progress of the new site
located on Hwy 90 and is excited
to get the stockyards up and running.
“It’s a pleasure and I’m happy
to be a part of the ag community
in this part of the state,” Akers
said. “We are really, really excited about getting this market
up and running.”
With weather playing a huge
factor in the construction process, Akers said the facility was
looking at being up and running
by April instead of a previous
projection of March.
“To get it done right and get
everything ready to go, it’s going
to be up in April,” Akers said.
“Things are moving really fast
and people are going to see a lot
of changes really rapidly over the
next couple of weeks, but its going to take a while. We’d rather
get it right and have it ready to go
before we start (having sales).”
Akers said there is a lot of
cattle in this part of the state and
a market for farmers to buy and
sell will help the economy for
locals.
“It’s been a real pleasure to
have people you can go to if you
have a problem and get answers
and find solutions,” Akers said.
“To be able to come into a community with leaders like you all
have, it’s a breath of fresh air. I
deal with the city of Lexington
and other cities in Kentucky and
it’s just not that way with a lot of
those cities.”
The Blue Grass operation
started in Lexington around
1946.
“It’s changed hands a few
times since then, but it’s been
in the control of the people who
own it now since the mid-1970s,”
Akers said.
One advantage of having markets across the state, according to
Akers, is to take pressure off the
Blue Grass Market Building in
Lexington and to move the service closer to the customer base.
“It’s easier to get out into the
country now,” Akers said. “They
started acquiring some other
markets and building some new
markets. At this point in time,
with the Albany market, we will
be operating seven live markets
in the state of Kentucky, as well
as our internet business. We sell
cattle in roughly 100 of the 120
counties in Kentucky and if you
look at a list of the 20 counties
we don’t sell in, there isn’t much
cattle in those counties. We pretty much cover most of the state
from one end to the other.”
Akers said the bulk of Blue
Grass Livestock Marketing
Group’s business is stretched
from I-65 to the eastern part of
the state.
The Blue Grass Livestock
Marketing Group also has a successful internet business that services many states as well.
“Our internet business services nine states in the southeast,”
Akers said. “It’s a growing part
of our business ... about 10 percent of our volume is loads of
cattle sold over the internet.”
The company sales around
five to 600,000 head of cattle per
year and will also sell other species in addition to cattle.
“We sell sheep, goats and
hogs,” Akers said. “We also have
periodical horse sells throughout
the year in our Richmond (KY)
location and a couple at Mount
Sterling.”
Akers said there are 11 individuals who own stock in the
company and all are actively involved in the company everyday.
“That’s very unique for a
company. Several of the owners are managers at our facilities
and others are just farmers. It’s
a broad array of people,” Akers
said. “We are not a huge company, but I guess for what we do in
this industry we are pretty good
sized. For our ownership to be
getting out of bed and going to
work everyday is pretty unique.”
According to Akers, the company tries to have nice facilities
and works hard for the farmers.
“I will just tell you right now,
we don’t buy cattle, we sell cattle
for you (farmers),” Akers said.
“We provide service in a nice facility, with good quality people,
and a good business model and
that’s our business philosophy.”
The marketing company is a
commission based company and
Akers said the more money they
make the farmers, the more mon-

Phase One Board members were present from Cumberland, Clinton and Wayne counties
Tuesday night at the Cattlemen’s Association meeting. The Phase One committee presented a
check to the Blue Grass Livestock Marketing Group for $435,000 for construction of the new
facility. The money came from the Ag Development fund.
Jim Akers, Chief Operations Officer for Blue Grass Livestock Marketing Group, was the
featured speaker at a joint meeting last week of area cattle producers.
ey they make as a company.
“Our folks are tuned to working for the farmers,” Akers said.
“We hope that once we get rutted
into the community down here
and folks get comfortable with
the way we do things and the
quality of our people, we hope
farmers will be able to trust us
and the way we do business.”
Akers said there are many
buying firms who have their
hand in sales and are looking forward to being included in a new
calf supply.
“We’ve got standing commitments from all the major order
buying firms. They will have
folks in this market,” Akers said.
“They are as excited about this
as we are from the stand point,
this is calf country. We are really
excited to tap into a new supply
of calves”
Their website, bgstockyards.
com, has daily market values,
contact information and special
sales information to provide
farmers and customers with the
most current information on the
cattle market.
“Most of our market reports
are posted before the start of
business the next day,” Akers
said. “A lot of them are posted
the night of the sale. If farmers
need to get online and look at
what cattle are bringing in the
different markets in our network
then they can do it on that website. We sell six days a week. We
have at least two sales everyday
in our markets, so it’s a really
good way of keeping up with
how the market is moving.”
The Albany Market is going
to be set up to handle 1,500 to
2,000 head of cattle on any given
day.
“We think it’s important to
have a little excess capacity, so
we can take care of the customers
in the big spring and fall runs,”
Akers said. “This barn will be
that way. It’s going to have a nice
flow to it. We think it will be real
efficient for everybody.”
All unloading will be drivethru unloading. Akers said there
will also be a dock for straight
trucks.
“It will be an outweigh market as is all of our markets, so
the cattle are weighed as they are
sold,” Akers said. “The scales are
actually the sell ring itself.”
Akers said there is going to be
a lot of technology in the Albany
Market.
“It’s going to be really neat,”
Akers said. “There is going to
be a lot of computerization that
will move really quickly. It will
be very efficient. When your
last animal goes through the sell
ring and you get up out of your
chair and go to the office, your
check will be ready before you
get there. It’s very fast and very
efficient.”
The building will also be
equipped with air gates and air
doors in order to keep farmers
and other people out of dangerous areas.
“It’s going to be a really nice
facility and we are really excited
about that,” Akers said.
The main sale day will be on
Wednesdays at the Albany Market. The sales will start at nine
a.m. central time.
“That’s our plan at this point,”
Akers said. “We will probably
have special sales and special
events on Saturday. I don’t know
what all will fit in this market
place, but we are certainly open
to input on that.”
