School Board accepts bids for gym floor, bleacher replacement

During its Nov. 20 meeting, the Ohio County School Board approved a motion to field a competitive bass fishing team and accepted bids to replace the gym floor and lower level bleachers of the high school. — On the school board’s agenda for the night was the approval of bass fishing as a sport at the Ohio County High School. Schools Superintendent Scott Lewis said the SBDM council at the high school recommended the school board create the new sport. He also said there has been interest from students about the new sport. The Kentucky High School Athletic Association (KHSAA) has pushed schools to make bass fishing a sport to give students more competitive sports options. Lewis said the sport would be relatively low-cost for the school board. A coach has not been hired, but the school had someone in mind. Board member Dwight Raymond made a motion to approve a competitive bass fishing team for the high school. Board member John Conley seconded the motion. The motion passed by a 3-0 vote. — A few months ago, the school board advertised for bids, a second time, to replace the high school’s gym floor and bleachers. The bids came in and the board was ready to accept one for both the gym floor and bleacher replacement. In April, the school board advertised for bids to have the gym floor replaced in the summer of this year, but was disappointed with the lack of bidders and the price of bids received. The board rejected all bids and advertised for bids again, with the plan of replacing the gym floor and bleachers during the summer of 2015. Lewis told the board it received a bid of $108,000 from Martin Flooring, in Louisville, to replace the gym floor. In the summer, the board received a bid of $125,000 to replace the gym floor. Lewis recommended the board accept the bid. Dwight Raymond made a motion to accept the bid of $108,000 from Martin Flooring to replace the high school’s gym floor. Conley seconded the motion. The motion passed unanimously. Next Lewis told the board it received a bid of $109,000 from Atlas Metals, in Paducah, to replace the lower level bleachers of the high school. While the board did not take bids for the bleacher replacement last summer, it received an estimate of around $140,000 for the job. Lewis recommended the board accept the bid. Conley made a motion to accept the bid of $109,000 from Atlas Metals for lower level bleacher replacement at the high school. Dwight Raymond seconded the motion. The motion passed by a 3-0. The lower level bleachers on the home team’s side will be replaced with chair back seats, while the lower level bleachers on the visitor team’s side will be replaced with bench seats. The upper level bleachers will not be replaced, but the Board of Education is looking into the option of repainting the plastic seat covers on the upper level bleachers. The new paint color would more closely match the school’s colors. Both the gym floor and bleachers are to be replaced during the schools’ 2015 summer break. — Board members Karen Boling and Jay Raymond were not present for the meeting. — During the September meeting of the Ohio County School Board, John Conley was sworn in as the Fourth District Board Member, replacing Matt Gilstrap. Gilstrap resigned from his position in April after he and his family moved to a different school district. Conley, recently retired from TVA, said the reason he applied for the open school board position was because he had the time and he wanted to help. "I had the time and actually, I couldn't come up with a good reason not to (apply for the school board seat)," Conley said. "I want to do all I can for the kids, as most folks do. It's a new experience, but I thought I'd give it a shot and do the best I can." Conley is originally from Daviess County, but his wife is an Ohio County native. He and his family moved to Fordsville in 2000. Conley's daughter, a freshman, attends Ohio County High School.

NWS issues Special Weather Statement for Ohio Co.

nwsspecialweather

The National Weather Service in Louisville has issued a Special Weather Statement for Ohio Co. and the surrounding area. A wintry mix of weather is expected tonight across parts of central Kentucky. A fast-moving Alberta Clipper will move from the mid-Mississippi Valley today to the central Appalachians by Thanksgiving morning. As this system passes through the region, late this afternoon and tonight, it will bring a wintry mix of precipitation to much of central Kentucky. Precipitation is expected to break out across western Kentucky this afternoon in the form of rain. The activity will then spread east into central and south-central Kentucky this evening. As the evening wears on, the rain will mix with and eventually change over to snow before diminishing toward sunrise Thursday. Surface temperatures are expected to remain above freezing while the wintry mix falls, which will limit accumulations. However, a minor accumulation of an inch or less of slushy snow will be possible on grassy and elevated surfaces. The area most favored to see the slushy accumulations is that part of central Kentucky along and south of a line from Owensboro to Liberty, Kentucky. As the precipitation ends, as flurries near dawn Thursday morning, surface temperatures will approach the freezing mark. Should this occur, some slick spots may develop on area roadways.

KYTClogo550

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet Snow & Ice Team is monitoring weather developments across the region this evening.

While there is some chance of flurries and possible light snow accumulation, mainly along Ohio River border counties, ambient air temps are expected to stay mostly above freezing.  Additionally, roadway surface temperatures should be enough to melt the snow as it falls.

As a precaution, District 2 has treated some bridges in the northern part of the district in areas most likely to get winter precipitation tonight.

Otherwise, management personnel will be monitoring road conditions and calling in crews, if required.

Motorists are advised to carefully monitor local road conditions and adjust driving speeds accordingly.

Pictured L-to-R: Magistrates Kenny Autry and Jason Bullock, Vincent and OCEDA board members CeCe Robinson and Debbie Boehmann.[/caption] During the Nov. 25 meeting of the Ohio County Fiscal Court, the Executive Director of the Ohio County Economic Development Authority (OCEDA), Chase Vincent, came before the court to present a certificate and signs the county received for being classified as a Kentucky Work Ready Community In Progress. Ohio Co. was classified as Work Ready In Progress last Monday. The county has been working toward becoming a Work Ready Community for over a year and since Vincent has become OCEDA Executive Director, he has helped with the process. Vincent received the certification in Louisville from the Chairman of the Kentucky Workforce Investment Board, Ed Holmes, the Secretary of the Kentucky Education and Workforce Development Cabinet, Thomas O. Zawacki and the Director of the Work Ready Review panel, Robert Curry. [caption id="attachment_24537" align="alignright" width="300"]Wayne Neal with the Ohio County Industrial Foundation presents Chase Vincent, executive director of the Ohio County Economic Development Alliance, with a check for $1,000 to go toward the ACT WorkKeys testing offered by the Ohio County Career Center. Wayne Neal with the Ohio County Industrial Foundation presents Chase Vincent, executive director of the Ohio County Economic Development Alliance, with a check for $1,000 to go toward the ACT WorkKeys testing offered by the Ohio County Career Center.[/caption] Ohio Co. has to reach several benchmarks over the next three to five years to become a certified Work Ready Community. Those benchmarks include, raising the  high school graduation rate to 90 percent, increasing the working age population with at least a two-year degree, increasing the working age population who are certified nationally as career ready and increase the availability of the county’s broadband capability. Along with the certificate, Vincent was also given four road signs to be placed around the county, to show potential businesses Ohio Co. is classified as a Work Ready Community In Progress. After Vincent presented the signs to the fiscal court, Wayne Neal, a representative of the Ohio Co. Industrial Foundation, presented Vincent with a check, from the Industrial Foundation and the Green River Regional Industrial Development Authority (GRRIDA), for $1,000. The money will go to the cost of the ACT WorkKeys test the county will offer for free at the Ohio County Career Center. As part of the requirements to become a Work Ready Community, a certain percentage of the county's working age population must have taken the WorkKeys test. Earlier this year, the county agreed to set aside money to pay for the test, allowing citizens to take it for free.

Ky. Afield Outdoors: Give the gift of the outdoors this holiday season

KyFishWildlife

Courtesy of the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources  Catalogs, emails and commercials touting must-have gifts this holiday season fill our mailboxes, flood our inboxes and splash across our television screens as the biggest shopping weekend of the year approaches. Amid the avalanche of gift ideas, there are some guaranteed to please the outdoors enthusiast on your list. Consider a gift certificate from the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources. Available online at fw.ky.gov, it functions much like a gift card. Recipients have five years from the date of purchase to redeem it online for licenses and permits, Kentucky Afield magazine subscriptions, Otter Creek Outdoor Recreation Area passes or summer camp registration fees. For the avid hunter-angler, the Sportsman’s license offers a considerable savings compared to purchasing licenses and permits separately. It bundles a combination hunting and fishing license, statewide deer permit, spring and fall turkey permits, state migratory game bird-waterfowl permit and a trout permit at a cost of $95. A Junior Sportsman’s license for Kentucky residents ages 12-15 includes a youth hunting license, two junior deer permits and two junior turkey permits for $30. The new license year starts March 1, 2015. While visiting Kentucky Fish and Wildlife’s online home, check out the Kentucky Afield store. There, you can find some of the same apparel worn on the television show hosted by Tim Farmer, and find information if you’re interested in purchasing past episodes. The deer processing DVD is good for new and experienced deer hunters alike. Kentucky Afield magazine publishes four times a year and new subscribers can sign up online or by mail. The cover of every issue features original artwork by Rick Hill. Inside, readers will find the pages packed with feature stories highlighting some of the best hunting and fishing opportunities in the state, tips for a better day afield and the latest news from the Kentucky outdoors. The popular Kentucky Afield Outdoor Calendar is included in the price of a magazine subscription. At 32 pages, the calendar features breathtaking images of Kentucky as well as useful information about proposed hunting dates, stocking information for Fishing in Neighborhoods (FINs) lakes, hunting and fishing tips and more. Since the 2015 calendar has already been printed, those who subscribe now will receive the 2016 calendar in December 2015. The 2015 calendars will begin mailing to current subscribers within a week. Individual copies of the 2015 calendar will be sold online for $7.50 and remain on sale while supplies last. A visit to the Salato Wildlife Education Center can spark a child’s love of the outdoors, as can a week at one of Kentucky Fish and Wildlife’s conservation camps. Located on the campus of Kentucky Fish and Wildlife headquarters in Frankfort, Salato Wildlife Education Center affords visitors the opportunity to view some of the animal species that call Kentucky home and learn about their native habitats. The center closes for the season on Nov. 27 and will reopen March 3, 2015. Annual memberships ranging from $20-$50 are available by calling Kentucky Fish and Wildlife at 1-800-858-1549. Conservation camps are open to Kentucky students in grades 4-6 and a Junior Sportsman’s license is included with the $230 registration fee. Help foster the development of future sportsmen and sportswomen in Kentucky by sponsoring a camper through the Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Foundation. Letters written by children wishing to attend Camp John Currie, Camp Earl Wallace or Camp Robert C. Webb are posted on the foundation’s website at kentuckywildlife.com. Different sponsorship amounts are accepted. The foundation also sells 75-quart Orca coolers for $469.99 as a fundraiser for camp scholarships. It generates enough through each cooler sale to send a child to camp. As these ideas illustrate, picking out the right gift at holiday time doesn’t necessarily require fighting the crowds or spending hours running from store to store. It’s all about knowing where to look.
