Tristan Lykins’ two-out double in the bottom of the sixth inning provided the margin of victory Thursday night as the Ohio County Eagles downed visiting Apollo 10-9 at Leach Field.  Lykins’ hit made a winner of Chris Logsdon who went the distance to pick up the mound win.

Each team scored once in the first inning with Apollo pushing across seven in the top of the second for an 8-1 lead.  Ohio County responded with five in their second at-bat to keep the game close and tied it with two more runs in the bottom of the third.  Apollo went up 9-8 with a run in the top of the fourth.

The score stayed 9-8 until the last of the sixth, which started with Apollo reliever Jacob Sumner getting the first two OCHS batters out.  But Brennon Leach singled, followed by another hit by Nate Morris to set the stage for Lykins’ long blast to deep left-centerfield, driving in both runners ahead of him.  Logsdon finished strong, striking out AHS’ Jason Taylor for the final out with a potential tying run on third base.

Colton Black, Leach, Morris, and Lykins had two hits each for the winners with Kiah Gledhill and T.J. Smith also driving in a pair of runs.

Trophy largemouth bass from smaller lakes

Courtesy of the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources Dale Wilson cast a black spinner bait embellished with a split-tail pork eel trailer into Wood Creek Lake and started working it back to the boat with lifts and drops. Lurking in about five feet of water near the base of a boulder, a largemouth bass found the lure and presentation irresistible. It struck. Wilson set the hook. The 13 pound, 10.4 ounce lunker pulled from the Laurel County lake that April morning became the new Kentucky state record. Its status remains intact three decades later. Kentucky boasts plenty of lakes known for producing high quality largemouth bass. Foremost in many anglers’ minds are Kentucky Lake and Lake Barkley, but it wouldn’t surprise Gerry Buynak to see the next state record largemouth bass come from one of the state’s smaller lakes. “Our last three state records came from either Greenbo Lake or Wood Creek Lake,” said Buynak, assistant fisheries director for the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources. “My gut tells me Fishpond Lake, Greenbo, Wood Creek and potentially Cedar Creek Lake.” Spring is an optimal time to pursue a hefty largemouth bass from bank or boat. The lengthening periods of daylight and water temperatures warming into the 60s trigger an instinct to move shallow and spawn. Buynak’s experience has taught him that largemouth bass like banks that receive the most sunlight in spring. The warmer water also attracts bait fish. “It’s the most vulnerable time for the bass because they’re up on the bank where everybody fishes,” he said. “The big females always tend to spawn first. So, if you find a lake where spawning is just starting, that’s when the big fish are going to be near the bank.” With water temperatures slow to warm after the long winter, largemouth bass are still in pre-spawn mode in many lakes. That’s good news for anglers. “This pre-spawn period is probably your best bet, and there are some big bass out there,” said Chris Hickey, black bass biologist with Kentucky Fish and Wildlife. “They’re going to be pretty voracious right now to regain that energy, those reserves that they lost over the winter.” Kentucky Fish and Wildlife’s 2014 Fishing Forecast classifies more than a dozen lakes under 1,000 acres as good to excellent for largemouth bass. Fishpond Lake in Letcher County falls into that category. The 32 acre lake averages about a dozen fish over 20 inches during a one-hour population sampling, but the lake’s clear water can make daytime fishing challenging. Largemouth bass will cozy up to Fishpond’s steeper shorelines in six to eight feet of water in spring, Eastern District Fisheries Biologist Kevin Frey said. “As the spring progresses, sometimes the algae near the shorelines can get really thick and create mats,” he said. “Casting to the edge of those algae mats or underneath them can be good for bass.” Bullock Pen Lake in Grant County and 183 acre Kincaid Lake in Pendleton County offer anglers the potential to catch a largemouth bass over 20 inches. “They’re almost identical to a degree, other than I think Kincaid is a little bit better,” said Jeff Crosby, central fisheries district biologist with Kentucky Fish and Wildlife. “There are just incredible numbers of fish over 15 inches at Kincaid, so your chances of catching a quality fish are excellent.” A population sampling trip Monday evening on 134 acre Bullock Pen Lake turned up good numbers of 18 inch fish and quite a few two to four pound fish, Crosby said. He suggests working water willow beds and submerged timber with jerk baits, soft plastics and jig-n-pig combos for the bigger fish. Shad-imitating lures worked along the edges of water willow and lily pads can be productive this time of year at 760 acre Lake Beshear in Caldwell and Christian counties. Lake Malone in Muhlenberg, Todd and Logan counties boasts good numbers of 15 to 20 inch fish in its 767 acres. Soft plastic baits fished near water willow along with spinner baits and jigs fished near submerged timber and brush also make good bets in spring. The “Where to Fish” feature on Kentucky Fish and Wildlife’s website fw.ky.gov offers anglers mapping of the location of fish attractors in many Kentucky water bodies. Ample numbers of big largemouth bass were observed during saugeye sampling last week on Guist Creek Lake in Shelby County. Then there is Cedar Creek; the 784 acre lake in Lincoln County managed by Kentucky Fish and Wildlife for its trophy largemouth bass potential. “Every year we keep catching more and more over that 20-inch limit,” Hickey said. Smaller lakes and big largemouth bass go hand-in-hand in spring. Now is the time to give them a try, but make sure to have a valid Kentucky fishing license. The new license year started March 1. “This time of year,” Buynak said, “I’d be up shallow after those bigger fish.”

Electiongraphic2014Ohio County just completed a voter redistricting makeover. Ohio County Clerk, Bess Ralph said she wasn’t approved for the redistricting process until Jan. 28 of this year, and that the redistricting process is supposed to occur every census. This is the first redistricting Ohio Co. has had for about 20 years, she said. “We did a year’s work in about six weeks,” she said. According to Ralph, voter precincts consolidated from 25 to 19. The ones that changed are Centertown north and south (now just one held at the Centertown City Hall), Fordsville/Elmich (now combined into one and held at the Fordsville FIre Dept.), Olaton precinct is no longer there at all, there were two at the Beaver Dam Inn in Beaver Dam and now it's just one. Everyone who had to move precincts were notified by letter, and Ralph said that if anyone has any questions or comments or concerns to please feel free to contact the clerk's office any time and she can explain things better, if they need it. "We've had a few complaints, but it's nothing that was too horrible,” she said. “This hadn't been done in forever, but the law says we had to do it and so we did it.” Below are links to detailed PDF maps for the 19 voting precincts of Ohio County.

At the April 22 meeting of the Ohio County Fiscal Court, the court appointed a member to the Airport Board, hired an employee, received an update on the resurfacing of Davis Road and approved the installation of a fire hydrant. — Ohio County Judge-Executive David Johnston made a motion the court approve the re-appointment of Bill Wallace to the Airport Board for a three-year term. Wallace’s term begins, retroactively, on Jan. 1, 2014, and will end on Jan. 1, 2017. His last term finished on Dec. 31, 2013. First District Magistrate Michael McKenney seconded the motion. After a roll call vote, the motion passed unanimously. — Brenda Renfrow, the county coordinator of the Ohio County Cornerstone Hall (Senior Center), came before the court for approval to hire a new employee. Renfrow asked the court to hire Donna Carter at Cornerstone Hall as a substitute meal driver at a pay rate of $7.35 per hour for nine hours of training. After the training, Carter’s pay will increase to $9 per hour. Carter’s hiring was effective on April 20. Johnston made a motion to hire Carter. The motion was seconded by Third District Magistrate Brandon Thomas. After a roll call vote, the motion passed unanimously. — Second District Magistrate Jason Bullock provided an update on the resurfacing of Davis Road. Johnston told the other court members at the April 8 fiscal court meeting he sent a letter to the state requesting it resurface Davis Road due to the high traffic caused by the detours of both the bridge repair on State Route 505 and U.S. Highway 62. Bullock said Governor Steve Beshear has agreed to resurface Davis Road using money out of an emergency flex fund. The state will resurface Davis Road when construction on the bridges is complete. Bullock said the bridge work is on schedule to be finished in mid-May. — McKenney asked the fiscal court to approve the installation of a fire hydrant on Maple Leaf Lake Lane. The cost of the hydrant would be around $4,800. McKenney made a motion the fiscal court install a fire hydrant on Maple Leaf Lake Lane and to pay for the installation out of the Rural Waterline Fund. Also included in the motion, the cost of the installation shall not exceed $5,000. Johnston seconded the motion. After a roll call vote, the motion passed unanimously.

School board looks to replace gym floor, home bleachers with chair backs

Schoolsystemlogo

After a lengthy discussion, the Ohio County School Board voted to seek bids on replacing the high school gym floor, the visitor side bleachers with new benches and the home side bleachers with chair back seats. During the March 27 meeting of the Ohio County School Board, the board approved a motion to advertise and accept bids for the replacement of the Ohio County High School gym floor and bleachers. During the discussion of bleacher replacement, the board spoke about replacing the bleachers on the home side of the gym with chair back seats. It was also pointed out that replacing the bleachers with chair back seats would cost much more than replacing the bleachers with benches. At the April 24 meeting of the school board, Schools Superintendent Scott Lewis said the Board of Education “sent out some feelers” on what the project might cost. According to Lewis, replacing the gym floor will cost around $100,000 to $110,000. It would cost around $88,000 to replace the lower section home bleachers with plastic chair back seats. It would cost around $42,500 to replace the lower section bleachers on the visitor side with plastic benches. The cost to install the new bleachers, including chair backs, would be around $20,000. Those numbers were not bids. The school board had to decide how it wanted to proceed before advertising for bids on the project. The board would advertise for bids on the gym floor and bleachers separately. Lewis recommended the board seek bids to replace the gym floor, replace the lower section visitor bleachers with benches and replace the lower section home bleachers with plastic chair back seats. The total estimated cost for the project would be around $260,500. The money for the project would come out of the board’s Restricted Construction Account which has just over $2 million. The bulk of the account. $1.7 million, is money that was set aside for the construction of an auxiliary gym. Lewis also had a plan for the upper level bleachers. The plastic seating on the bleachers will be taken off by school board employees and repainted. The newly repainted plastic seats will then be secured back on the bleachers. The upper bleachers will then match the color of the lower bleachers. Board Member Jay Raymond was concerned about the cost of the plastic chair back seats. “I’d love to have chair backs,” Board Member Karen Boling said. “I would, too, if I could afford it,” Jay Raymond said. Referring to the difference in cost between chair back seats and benches he said, “$44,000 will go a long way on buying iPads for the middle school.” Jay Raymond was unsure how the students would benefit from chair back seats. Board Member Dwight Raymond said the taxpayers would benefit from the seats during school functions. Lewis told Jay Raymond the board had enough money in the Restricted Construction Account to buy chair back seats and purchase iPads for the middle school. Lewis believed the $1.7 million dollars that was to be used on the construction of an auxiliary gym can be used on other projects because the Family Wellness Center is the de facto auxiliary gym for the school system. Lewis also believed, if needed, he could save the board some money by making cuts to the budget. “I just don’t see the benefit to our kids by having chair backs,” Jay Raymond said. Boling was also in favor of buying iPads for the middle school, but she also believed the appearance of the school system’s facilities made a difference to visitors. After further discussion, Dwight Raymond made a motion the school board submit a BG-1 to the state for approval on the replacement of the gym floor, replacement of the visitor bleachers with new benches and replacement of the home bleachers with chair back seats. Boling seconded the motion. The motion passed by a three to one vote. Jay Raymond was the lone no vote. The Board of Education will have submit a BG-1 to the state for approval to begin the project. The BG-1 will provide the state with a description of the work to be done and a cost breakdown of the project. Board Member Matt Gilstrap was not present for the meeting.

Submitted by Jeremy Nance, Republican candidate for Second District Constable

My name is Jeremy Nance. I am a life-long resident of Beaver Dam. I am the son of Mike and Karon “Kerry” Nance of Beaver Dam. I am the grandson of the late Jay and Emilu Ratcliff of Beaver Dam and Kathryn Nance and the late Guthrie Nance of Hartford. I reside on Valley View Drive with my sons, Dereck, 12, and Darron, 7. I am engaged to Jamie Simpson of Calhoun.  I am seeking to be elected as Constable for Ohio County’s Second District.

I was elected as Constable in November of 2006. I served one term and completed the duties of a sworn officer of the law as required by the Commonwealth of Kentucky. I was commissioned by the International Police Chief Association, certified by the International Police Chief’s Association for Volunteers in Police Services Agency, certified by the Department Of Homeland Security, and trained by the Kentucky Jailer’s Association in the Basic Academy. I was selected by the Kentucky Constable Association Board Members to serve as Regional Director. I maintained this position from 2008 to 2010 and provided oversight to the training of Constables in ten surrounding counties. I completed a course through the FEMA on allocating resources during disasters. I am Kentucky Department of Juvenile Justice Academy Certified and maintain other law enforcement certifications.

Along with law enforcement experience, I have eighteen years of experience as a certified volunteer firefighter, and thirteen years as an Emergency Medical Technician. Law enforcement officers may be first to arrive on the scene of an emergency. Life-saving measures may be required immediately. I am currently employed as an EMT for Henderson Ambulance Service. I interact with people during some of the worst moments they will experience. I try to offer words of encouragement and support while implementing emergency care.  

During my previous term as Constable, I made myself or support staff available to the public. I offered security details, provided legal process services, assisted with unlocking vehicles, and implemented community education in addition to the regular law enforcement responsibilities. I am also a First Aid /CPR instructor and share these lifesaving skills with our community.

I have enjoyed serving Beaver Dam as Constable in the past. I ask for your support and vote. Recently, you may have learned about an incident at a school in which I was involved. Remember, there are three sides to every situation, and the truth will prevail through the justice system. Allow me to serve our community with the dedication and professionalism in Law Enforcement that you deserve. Thank you for your support.
