[caption id="attachment_29381" align="aligncenter" width="662"] Kentucky State Representative Sannie Overly (D-Bourbon County) made a campaign stop at Lil' Stevie's in Beaver Dam on Wednesday as she is the Lieutenant Governor candidate for gubernatorial candidate Jack Conway.[/caption] On Wednesday, Rep. Sannie Overly visited Ohio County as part of her multi-county listening tour focused on the issues that matter to Kentucky’s working families in rural parts of the state, according to a press release from Conway/Overly Campaign. Rep. Overly – who grew up on her family’s farm in Bourbon County – visited Lil’ Stevies restaurant during a meet-and-greet stop in Beaver Dam. Rep. Overly discussed how she and Attorney General Jack Conway will support Kentucky’s rural families as Governor and Lieutenant Governor by improving high-speed Internet access, investing in infrastructure and education, standing up for Kentucky’s farmers, and creating more good-paying jobs across the Commonwealth. “Jack Conway and I are ready to move Kentucky forward as Governor and Lieutenant Governor,” Rep. Overly said. “We are excited to continue crisscrossing the state, visiting our rural counties, and having these serious conversations about growing our economy by creating good-paying jobs, investing in education, and building out broadband Internet – a vital piece of infrastructure for our rural communities. I grew up on my family’s farm in Bourbon County, where everyone worked hard, pitched in, and got things done – and that’s the mentality that Jack Conway and I will bring to the Governor’s office.” Rep. Overly kicked off her Kentucky Rural Families Tour in May, and has visited counties in every corner of the Commonwealth as part of her tour.

At the July 14 meeting of the Ohio County Fiscal Court, the court heard from Tamarlane Industries and the Ohio County Health Coalition, applied for a Homeland Security Grant, made committee appointments, agreed to advertise for seasonal road workers and voided the contract of a construction company. — Richard Goodall, of Tamarlane Industries, came before the court seeking funding help. Goodall explained Tamarlane had to shut down a production line, but it left them with truckloads of excess wood. The company is having a hard time getting rid of the wood and clearing space for other operations. Goodall asked the court to give what it felt like it could to help with the disposal of the wood. In the past, the fiscal court has given Tamarlane Industries $10,000 in a yearly donation. Ohio County Judge-Executive David Johnston said the fiscal court would discuss Tamarlane’s request during its Needs Assessment Committee meeting before the next fiscal court meeting. — Deanna Sandefur, with the Ohio County Sheriff’s Department (OCSD), came before the court seeking a resolution to apply for a Homeland Security Grant. The OCSD wants to buy a repeater system with the grant money. The repeater system is needed to boost the signal of the sheriff’s radio system in areas of the county where the signal is weak or non-existent. The repeaters would be placed at five sites around the county including, Windy Hill, Hoover Hill, Fordsville water tower, Rockport City Hall and Kirk Lane. It is believed the repeaters would cover all the “dead” spots. The grant is for $91,646.29 with no match from the fiscal court. Third District Magistrate Joe Barnes made a motion to pass Resolution 2016-1 Homeland Security Grant. First District Magistrate Sam Small seconded the motion. After a roll call vote, the motion passed unanimously. — CeCe Robinson, a representative of the Ohio County Health Coalition, came before the court asking for $5,000 to help fund the salary for the coalition’s local facilitator. The Ohio County Health Coalition is part of a community of health coalitions in the Green River Area Development District (GRADD). According to Robinson, most of the fiscal courts in GRADD help fund the local facilitator's salary. The local facilitator is shared by each health coalition in GRADD. Robinson gave the court an overview of what the health coalition has done in the last year, including studies on Ohio County’s health ranking among Kentucky counties, a candidates forum during the election and the updating of community resource guides, among others. Over the past several years, the fiscal court has given the health coalition $5,000. Johnston told Robinson the fiscal court would consider her request at their Needs Assessment Meeting on July 28. — After a lengthy closed session, Johnston wanted to appoint a Jerusalem Ridge Committee. This committee had been appointed in the past, but this time, Johnston wanted the court to vote on the appointments, entering them into the record. Johnston made a motion the fiscal court approve the appointment of Second District Magistrate Jason Bullock, Fifth District Magistrate Larry Morphew and Gerald Geary to the Jerusalem Ridge Committee. After a roll call vote, the motion passed unanimously. — The Oil and Gas Lease Committee met to discuss the possibility of leasing the oil or gas rights of county land. The committee decided it did not want to lease oil or gas rights on county land at this time. — The Road Committee met and decided to advertise for another seasonal employee at the county road department. Barnes made a motion to advertise for a seasonal employee at the road department. Morphew seconded the motion. After a roll call vote, the motion passed unanimously. The committee was also looking into the cost of a chip and seal machine and the trade in value of county road graders. — Morphew made a motion the fiscal court void the contract with Grider Construction to build two more bridges for the county, after not meeting the deadline on the first bridge, which affected the funding of the project. Small seconded the motion. According to Johnston, Grider Construction missed the deadline for finishing the construction of a bridge on Salem Road. The bridge also did not meet the specifications of the bid. After a roll call vote, the motion passed unanimously. Barnes made a motion the court advertise for bids on the construction for bridges on Salem Road and Barnett’s Creek Road. Fourth District Magistrate Larry Keown seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. After the motions, Barnes told the court he believed the first bridge could be fixed and thought Grider Construction should be forced to do the repairs. If not, he believed there should be some monetary penalty applied to their payment for the job. Johnston said he would look into Barnes’ suggestion. Later in the meeting, Johnston said Grider Construction had already been paid for the work on the bridge and the court would have “wrestle with him to make him do what he’s got to do.” “And since he’s been fired, I don’t know how difficult it will be to do,” Johnston said. Keown and Johnston believed the county got a good deal on the bridge, despite it not meeting the bid specs, because Grider’s bid was about half of the other bids the county received. Barnes believed Grider should be responsible for fixing the bridge, but was unaware the court had already paid for the work.

[caption id="attachment_29389" align="alignright" width="275"] Dustin Oost[/caption] Two men were arrested on drug charges after a joint investigation between the Ohio County Sheriff's Department (OCSD) and the Beaver Dam Police Department (BDPD). According to a press release from the OCSD, deputies of the OCSD and officers of the BDPD wrapped up a joint investigation, in which two Owensboro residents were found to be distributing quantities of crystal methamphetamine in the Ohio County area. Dustin Oost, 36, of the 500 block of Leitchfield Road in Owensboro, and Brian Bloomer, 37, of 1900 block of Graham Lane in Owensboro were taken into custody yesterday around 6:30 p.m. without incident. The two men allegedly sold an "eight-ball" of crystal methamphetamine for $350. An additional gram of crystal methamphetamine was allegedly found in Bloomer's left sock.

[caption id="attachment_29388" align="alignright" width="275"] Brian Bloomer[/caption] Officers confiscated around four grams of crystal methamphetamine, $373 in cash, and a 2003 Chevy pick-up.

Courtesy of the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources Anglers become conditioned to expect high water on lakes in spring and stable conditions in summer before the fall drawdowns to winter pool. After an unusually wet spring, this summer has been anything but predictable in Kentucky. High and falling water have added a degree of difficulty at a time when fishing can be challenging under normal conditions. Lake levels have fluctuated wildly as parts of the state picked up 6, 8, and even 10 or more inches of rain over the past month. A change from widespread heavy rains to a more typical pattern of scattered afternoon showers has allowed many lakes to inch back closer to their prescribed summer elevations. “We haven’t had good, steady weather for a while,” said Jeremy Shiflet, assistant northwestern fisheries district biologist for the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources. “If we can get a steady weather pattern for just a couple of weeks things should pick up quite a bit.” A good place to get a handle on what your lake is doing before you head out the door is the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ website for that district. The Louisville, Nashville and Huntington Corps’ districts provide up-to-date water information for many lakes in Kentucky. “See what the water’s been doing,” said Geoff Roberts, a conservation educator with Kentucky Fish and Wildlife and an avid bass angler. “See if it’s coming up. See if it’s stable. See if it’s falling. That’s going to determine where the fish are positioned.” Rising water that floods new habitat draws smaller baitfish shallow. Predator fish are apt to follow and may remain somewhat shallow if the lake stabilizes before falling. Damp rings around tree trunks are a giveaway that water is being pulled quickly through the dam. Treat this as a sign that fish are likely to be retreating to deeper water. “A lot of times during that hard drawdown either now or in the fall, we catch a lot of fish in our sampling nets because they’re moving,” Shiflet said. “Especially the mobile species – crappie, hybrids, white bass, walleye – they’re all on the move. The water usually gets dirty and turbid, so it’s hard for them to sight-feed. It takes them a little longer to really get cranking.” If largemouth bass are what you’re after, resist the urge to pound the shoreline when the water is up and falling. Consider casting to the last row of visible vegetation or structure and note the contour of the bank. “If you fish a flatter bank, then when the water comes up, that gives bass tons of areas to go,” Roberts said. “But if you fish a steeper bank, even falling water doesn’t affect those fish very much because the bank is straight up and down. “I find it easier to fish those types of banks when the water is up and especially if it’s falling because those fish don’t get nearly as uncomfortable with falling water as the fish that have moved up on the shallow bank.” A power or finesse technique can be effective for bass in falling water conditions. A finesse technique employing lighter line and smaller jigs or soft plastic lures draws strikes from lethargic fish when fished slowly. Power techniques use faster presentations with larger lures such as crankbaits, jerkbaits, spinnerbaits, topwaters and heavier jigs to trigger reaction bites. “Some anglers say they really want to finesse them and target spots that they think are holding fish and go with a really small bait presentation,” said Chad Miles, an avid angler who is the executive director of the Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Foundation. “Some people will say, no, you need to power fish them because the fish don’t want to move that much. They want to hit something and eat something big and be done with it for a while. Both options work depending on the day.” Many anglers don’t have the luxury of being able to drop everything and fish when the weather and lake reports look favorable. They fish when they can. An opportunity arose last week for Steve Reynolds to fish on Cave Run Lake near Morehead. The conditions looked and felt right in person even if a fishing report from the day before tempered expectations. Heavy rains had pushed the lake’s elevation to more than 10 feet above summer pool – high enough to close some boat ramps - and the Corps had started pulling water through the dam. Even so, within two hours of launching from Alfrey Boat Ramp at sunrise, the Versailles resident hooked and lost two muskellunge on a crankbait in about 10 feet of water before landing a 45-inch trophy. It was Reynolds’ first encounter with a muskie and the catch qualified him for a Master Angler Award from Kentucky Fish and Wildlife. He successfully released the fish and now owns a memory from a trip when the conditions might not have been ideal but the opportunity to just get out and fish presented itself.

Ohio County Sheriff's deputies responded to a report of a gunshot fired around 8:30 p.m. at Charley's Family Market at 101 North Main Street in Hartford. According to a press release from the Sheriff's Office, it appeared the victim was standing at the checkout counter of the store while another patron and a store worker were looking at a handgun brought in by the patron. The store worker then accidentally discharged the firearm. Upon exiting the weapon, the bullet traveled through several items of merchandise and shelving before entering the right ankle of the victim. The victim was transported to Owensboro Health Regional Hospital by Ohio County EMS where the bullet was removed and the victim was released. Hartford and Beaver Dam Police also responded to the scene. The investigation is still ongoing.
