[caption id="attachment_30932" align="alignright" width="236"] Matt Bevin[/caption] After a long, and sometimes, nasty campaign, Matt Bevin and the Republican party shocked many as they came out on top at the end of election night in Kentucky with Bevin becoming only the second Republican governor of the state in 40 years. Around 7:10 p.m., the Associated Press called the election of Kentucky Governor for Republican Matt Bevin. This news was a bit of a shock considering, historically, Republicans have rarely made it to the governor’s mansion and Democratic candidate Jack Conway was up as many as five points a week ago. At the end of the night, Bevin won around 52 percent of the vote to Conway’s 44 percent and Independent Drew Curtis’ 4 percent. Many thought Curtis may take votes away from Conway costing him the governor’s office. The final margin of victory showed this was not the case. The race for governor was not the only race to deliver a surprise and a Republican win. In the race for Secretary of State, Democratic incumbent Alison Lundergan Grimes found herself in a tight race with Republican candidate Stephen L. Knipper. In the end, Grimes was able to nip 52 percent of the vote to remain Secretary of State for another term. In the tightest race of the night, Democrat Andy Beshear squeaked by Republican challenger Whitney Westerfield by fewer than 2,000 votes. The race for Auditor of Public Accounts may have seen the biggest upset of the night as Republican candidate Mike Harmon was able to defeat Democratic incumbent Adam Edelen. Harmon secured around 52 percent of the vote to Edelen’s 48 percent to add another office for the Republicans. The race for State Treasurer started out close, but Republican Allison Ball secured 60 percent of the vote to Democrat Rick Nelson’s 40 percent. The race for Commissioner of Agriculture resembled the Treasurer’s race, as Republican Ryan Quarles took 60 percent of the vote to Democrat Jean-Marie Lawson Spann’s 40 percent. Ohio County, much like the state, also voted all Republican, except for one female Democrat. In the governor’s race, despite Conway's family ties to Ohio County, Bevin won 60 percent of the vote to Conway’s 38 percent and Curtis’ 2 percent. In the race for Secretary of State, Ohio County did choose Knipper over Lundergan Grimes 54 percent to 46 percent. Ohio County, unlike the state, made it clear who it wants for Attorney General and it chose Westerfield over Beshear 54 percent to 46 percent. In the Auditor of Public Accounts race, Ohio county voted for Harmon over Edelen 62 percent to 38 percent. In the State Treasurer race, 65 percent of voters chose Ball over 35 percent who chose Nelson. In the final state race, Quarles picked up 65 percent of the vote to Lawson Spann’s 35 percent in the race for Commissioner of Agriculture. In local races, Democrat Shannon Boling Kirtley received 100 percent of the vote in the race for Circuit Clerk. Kirtley ran unopposed after defeated Second District Magistrate Jason Bullock in the May Democratic Primary. No Republicans filed for the office making Kirtley the only Democrat elected in Ohio County. In the race for Fourth District School Board Member, William Eddins received 100 percent of the vote. Eddins is the third man to occupy the seat in the last three years. Matt Gilstrap resigned the position after moving out of the school district and his replacement, John Conley, resigned his position due to health reasons. Eddins will serve out the rest of the term, which ends Dec. 31, 2016. Ohio County voting results (winners in bold):

The Ohio County Fiscal Court agreed to enter into two contracts at it Oct. 27 meeting, the first being with GRADD for senior citizens services, the second with a golf cart company for cart rentals at the golf course. — Brenda Renfrow, Director of Ohio County Senior Services, came before the court for approval for a request for proposal to seek funding for a senior citizen program providing meals at three county senior centers and the Meals on Wheels program. The Meals on Wheels program delivers 65 to 70 meals Monday through Friday to shut ins. According to Renfrow, sometimes the Meals on Wheels driver may be the only person a shut in might see all week. The senior centers will provide another 25 to 35 meals per location. The program also offers the elderly transportation when needed. The Green River Area Development District will take bids and fund the program and the county will not have to pay anything for the program. If there are any overages, the court could bill those overages to the supplier. After a bid is awarded, the contract will be for three years. Renfrow said the request for proposal was due Nov. 5 and would go into effect on July 1, 2016. Fourth District Magistrate Larry Keown didn’t like the idea of being locked into a three-year contract. Ohio County Judge-Executive David Johnston said the program has always been like that. Johnston said he thought about doing away with the program, but the county wasn’t equipped to handle services on its own. First District Magistrate Sam Small made a motion to approve the RFP and have GRADD bid for the senior services. Second District Magistrate Jason Bullock seconded the motion. During the roll call vote, after Small and Bullock have voted yes, Third District Magistrate Joe Barnes asked if the court needs to vote on the RFP that night. Johnston said they did, due to the deadline being before the next fiscal court meeting. Fifth District Magistrate Larry Morphew was also not pleased by the timing of the vote. “Why do we always wait and do stuff like this?” Morphew asked. “Why can’t we have a little bit of time so we can do some checking?” Renfrow said it was the first time the RFP was even brought to the court for a vote. In years past, the RFP was “automatically done.” Barnes said he’d liked a little more time to study the proposal and perhaps get a one year contract due to a decrease in coal severance money. Johnston pointed out the county doesn’t pay anything for the program and the funds could not be used for anything else in the county. With that, Barnes voted yes, as did the rest of the court for a unanimous vote. — Kristy Bechtel, the Supervisor of the Ohio County Community Golf Course, and Jerry Mayes, member of the Golf Course Committee, came before the court to present it with a contract for golf cart rentals. The golf course currently rents 12 2010 model golf carts for $12,480 per year. The county is responsible for the maintenance of the golf carts. Cunningham Golf Car Company submitted a proposal to the county for 15 2015 model golf carts for $11,424 per year. The contract would be for five years and is $1,056 less per year than the current contract. Before the county could sign the new contract with Cunningham, it would have to complete the current contract which could be bought out at $2,156. Mayes said the golf course already had a donation of $1,000 to be used in buying out the current contract. If the county chose to sign the new contract with Cunningham, as the end of five years, Cunningham would give the county the option to buy the golf carts for $500 per cart or $7,500 for all 15 carts. Mayes said in addition to saving over $5,000 each year in rental fees, a five-year old cart would be worth around $3,500. In which case, if the county bought the 15 carts for $7,500, it would have closer to $52,500 in carts. Mayes said the golf course committee plans to raise the golf cart rental fee next year, which could double the revenue from $8,000 to $16,000, which would cover the county's rental fee for the carts. The county would still be responsible for maintenance on the golf carts. Also included in the contract, after 12 monthly payments, if the golf course were to shut down, Cunningham would come get the golf carts with no penalty or fee. Barnes wanted to make sure the no penalty after a year clause was in the contract, if the golf course closed. Keown wanted to know if the golf course could bring in the new golf carts and make everything work within its budget. Bechtel said she could. Barnes made a motion to authorize the county to contract with Cunningham Golf, Sport & Utility Vehicles for the lease of 15 2015 golf carts for five years with a purchase option of $500 per cart due October of 2020.

FRANKFORT, Ky. (11/06/15) — The Information Center at the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources fields about 100,000 phone calls annually, and the call volume peaks from late October into early November as hunters ask about rules and regulations for the statewide modern gun deer season. This year, it opens Nov. 14. An informal poll of Information Center staff members this week identified common questions about the season. Some of those questions - and answers to them - appear below. When does the modern gun deer season start and end in my county? The season opens statewide on the second Saturday in November and a county’s zone assignment dictates when it closes. Kentucky Fish and Wildlife takes a four-zone approach to the management of the state’s deer herd. The modern gun season runs for 16 consecutive days in Zones 1 and 2 and for 10 consecutive days in Zones 3 and 4. A map of the deer hunting zones is published on Page 11 of the Kentucky Hunting and Trapping Guide. The guide is available online at fw.ky.gov and where licenses are sold. What licenses and permits are needed to hunt deer in Kentucky during the modern gun season? Unless license exempt, hunters must obtain and carry while in the field proof that they have purchased an annual hunting license and statewide deer permit. The license and permit are included in a Senior/Disabled license, which is available to Kentucky residents only. Resident and nonresident youth hunters ages 12-15 will need a youth hunting license and youth deer permit unless they are license exempt. Who needs a hunter education card? Kentucky’s hunter education law specifies that all license-required hunters born on or after Jan. 1, 1975 must pass a hunter education course and carry the course completion card while hunting. Pre-registration is done online at fw.ky.gov. For those who have not completed a hunter education course in time, the Hunter Education Exemption Permit is an option. This one-time only exemption is available to Kentucky residents and nonresidents. Sold online at fw.ky.gov, the $5 permit is good for one year from the date of purchase. Hunters using the exemption permit must be accompanied by an adult who meets Kentucky’s hunter education law. The adult must remain in a position to take immediate control of the exempted hunter’s bow or firearm while hunting. Children aren’t required to take a hunter education course until they are 12 years old. Those who are younger than 12 don’t need a hunter education card, but must be accompanied by an adult while hunting. What are the hunter orange requirements during the modern gun deer season? All hunters, and anybody accompanying them, must wear hunter orange that can be seen from all sides on the head, back and chest when hunting for any species during daylight hours in modern gun deer season. A simple, solid hunter orange vest and hat combo fulfills this requirement. Hunter orange apparel can be made of mesh-type material but the openings in the mesh weave cannot be wider than 1/4 inch. Camouflage-patterned hunter orange garments without additional solid hunter orange clothing on the head, back and chest do not satisfy the requirements. How many deer can a hunter harvest? Hunters may take a total of four deer statewide. However, in Zone 1 counties, hunters may take an unlimited number of antlerless deer provided they have purchased the appropriate number of additional deer permits. One deer permit allows a hunter to take two deer - one antlered and one antlerless, or two antlerless – but there is a statewide limit of one antlered deer per license year. As a reminder, only antlered deer may be taken in Zone 4 counties during the modern gun deer season. What do I need to do after I’ve harvested a deer? Hunters must fill out a harvest log as soon as the deer is taken and prior to moving the carcass. Any deer taken in Kentucky also must be telechecked. Hunters can do that online at fw.ky.gov or by calling 1-800-245-4263. Callers will be asked their Social Security number and code for the county in which the animal was taken. County codes are printed on Page 7 of the Kentucky Hunting and Trapping Guide. Callers must also indicate the animal’s species and sex. Harvested deer must be telechecked by midnight on the day the animal is recovered. Where can I get more information? In addition to consulting the Kentucky Hunting and Trapping Guide, or calling Kentucky Fish and Wildlife at 1-800-858-1549, there soon will be a detailed list of frequently asked questions about deer hunting in Kentucky available on the department’s website. Hunters also will have an opportunity to submit questions during Kentucky Afield’s fall hunting call-in show on Nov. 14. It will air live starting at 8:30 p.m. on Kentucky Educational Television (KET). Scheduled to join host Tim Farmer are Gabe Jenkins, deer and elk program coordinator; John Morgan, upland game program coordinator; and a representative from the department’s Law Enforcement division.
