Bath County Fiscal Court members voted last Thurs- day to approve a resolution to accept $934,000 in rural and secondary road funds from the Kentucky Trans- portation Cabinet. David Leach and Shane Ramey from the Trans- portation Cabinet District 9 Office in Flemingsburg were present at last week’s meeting to make the pre- sentation of the 2020-21 rural and secondary road recommendations. They said that county has two state road projects scheduled for this fiscal year: $410,000 for resur- facing of KY 1325/East Fork Road, from its last re- surfacing at Flat Creek to the intersection at KY 36; and $70,000 for repairs to a slip on KY 3290/Mudlick Road. The county will also re- ceive $186,000 in flex funds for county road resurfac- ing projects. Leach said that amount is up $52,000 from the previous year. Judge Executive Bobby Rogers asked about the West KY 36 curve recon- struction project near the State Garage just outside of Owingsville. Last year Fiscal Court members agreed to take responsi- bility for a grave found on part of a property that will be disturbed as part of the project. Leach said that once the grave was discovered, there was an approval pro- cess to get it moved, seek- ing funds to move it, and finding someone to move it for the funds available. He also said that the contractor was finishing up paving approaches for a bridge replacement proj- ect on KY 211 North over Cow Creek in Moore’s Ferry and that bridge work would be starting this week on KY 1106/Mt. Pleasant Road over Flat Creek. Judge Rogers said that he had spoken with Steven Gunnell, District 9 manag- er, about damage to Polks- ville Road and Vance Road during construction on the Cow Creek bridge. Commissioner Jamie Cline, whose district in- cludes those roads, said that there was damage to ditches on Vance Road and large potholes on Polks- ville Road. Rogers said that the state had been there to look at the damage but had not committed yet to funding work.

County Judge, state health official discuss coronavirus state of emergency By Cecil Lawson KyNewsGroup [email protected] Following a meeting of all Bath County offi- cials, health officials, and emergency responders on Monday morning at the Courthouse Annex, Re- gional Preparedness Co- ordinator Mike Mattox, who works with the Gate- way Health District Of- fice, spoke with the News- Outlook regarding the current COVID-19 novel coronavirus pandemic. He encouraged all mem- bers of the public to stay up to date with the most recent information with the Kentucky Department of Public Health’s coro- navirus website, www. kycovid19.ky.gov, and if there were any concerns over the virus, to call the state’s hotline, 1-800-222- “SOCIAL DISTANCING IS THE ONLY TOOL AT THE MOMENT” 1222. Mattox said that, with- out a vaccine to combat COVID-19, “social dis- tancing is the only tool at the moment” to prevent the spread of the virus. He also emphasized the importance of proper cough hygiene in public and encouraged people to stay home if they are sick. Mattox stays in touch daily with Emergency Management Director Jason York and with Gate- way District Health Direc- tor Greg Brewer.

We’re following the lead of the President and the Governor. This emergency declaration is about knocking down some barriers.” Rogers said his top con- cern at this time is mak- ing sure the Bath County Ambulance Service has the supplies it needs and keeping Emergency Man- agement Director York and Gateway District Health Director Brewer healthy. “We are in relatively good shape for the mo- ment,” Rogers said. “There are no confirmed cases in the district.” Rogers said he held the meeting on Monday morning “to get everyone on the same page.” He encouraged people to keep up with both President Trump’s and Gov. Beshear’s updates for the most up-to-date in- formation about the coro- navirus.

Schools across the Com- monwealth of Kentucky are closed for at least the next two weeks, dine-in restau- rant service has stopped, and most government of- fices and private businesses are doing limited business with the public in order to limit physical contact, among other public mea- sures encouraged to limit social contact. The acute respiratory virus, which originated in Wuhan, China in December 2019, has spread across the globe and was declared a global pandemic last Wednesday by the World Health Organization. Pres. Donald Trump declared a national emer- gency regarding COVID-19 during a press conference last Friday at the White House. This declaration will al- low the Federal Emergen- cy Management Adminis- tration (FEMA) to tap into over $40 billion from the Disaster Relief Fund to help combat the virus at the federal, state, and local levels. Bath County Judge Ex- ecutive Bobby Rogers and Menifee County Judge Ex- ecutive Rick Stiltner signed a state of emergency decla- rations in the county Tues- day morning, which closed all county offices to walk-in traffic and which will make state and federal assistance available to the county.

State Primary election postponed until June 23 By Cecil Lawson
Kentucky’s May 19 Pri-mary Election has been postponed until June 23, fol-lowing an executive order from Gov. Andy Beshear on Monday.
During his Monday eve-
ning press conference on the state’s ongoing efforts to contain the COVID-19 novel coronavirus, Gov. Beshear announced that, upon recommendation from Kentucky Secretary of State Michael Adams, that the Commonwealth’s May 19 primary be moved 35 days ahead until June 23.
Beshear filed the ex-ecutive order on Monday evening, citing the March 6 state of emergency de-clared in the Common-wealth related to COVID-19 and his powers under Ken-tucky Revised Statutes to disperse crowds during an emergency in the interests of public safety.
This year’s primary elec-
tions include the US Presi-dent’s races, races for US Senate and Congress, and for State Representatives and State Senators.
Gov. Beshear’s execu-tive order also noted that the Kentucky State Board of Elections will establish procedures pursuant to the order.

On Wednesday Owings-ville Mayor Gary Hunt made the following an-nouncement: "Today I followed other na-tional, state, and local lead-ers by declaring a “state of emergency” in the City of Owingsville in response to the coronavirus, COVID 19. As Mayor, I am authorized by KRS 39A.100 to declare a “state of emergency” during a public health
emergency or other catas-trophe. By making this dec-laration, the city can more quickly and effectively re-spond to the crises. It also grants certain emergency powers and opens the door for possible financial assis-tance from state and fed-eral sources. With this said, I want to commend our citizens for doing an outstanding job adapting during this time of uncertainty. You can be assured that your city gov-ernment is doing every-thing in its power to make sure you and your family remain safe. All our city services will continue as normal. The lobby at City Hall will be closed to walk-in traffic but the drive-thru is open during regular busi-ness hours. May God bless us all."

communitySenator Albert Robinson’s Legislative Update
The past week of the 2020 Regular Session of the Kentucky General As-sembly was dominated by a topic on the minds of people worldwide. That is of course, the spread of the coronavirus (CO-VID-19). Our sincerest prayers go out to all who are affected by this virus, both directly and indi-rectly. Our prayers will re-main with everyone in the days ahead as we develop a greater understanding of what the World Health Organization has now de-clared a pandemic. In light of the recent develop-ments, the Kentucky Gen-eral Assembly has chosen to postpone legislative business of the House and Senate Chambers for Friday, March 13th, and Monday, March 16th, out of an abundance of caution and to provide an oppor-tunity to discuss a more long-term plan. Critical efforts on significant is-sues like legislation, the budget, and the road plan will move forward as an-ticipated.
As news of the virus spread, so has fear and anxiety. As the spring al-lergy season nears, these fears will only intensify. I want to reassure you that Kentucky health officials and state leaders are con-tinuing to work with the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), federal authorities, and other health agencies to
ensure collaborative and proactive measures are implemented throughout the Commonwealth. The state implemented a new hotline this week to assist Kentuckians who have questions or need help related to COVID-19. The number is 1-800-722-5725. I also encourage you to visit the CDC’s website for more information at https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/
It appears that older adults and people who have chronic diseases are more susceptible to the risk of serious illness from COVID-19. Every person, especially those at higher risk, should take precautionary measures to protect themselves. This virus is spread by person-to-person interac-tion when people are too close to one another, less than six feet apart and through respiratory drop-lets produced when an infected person coughs or sneezes. You can reduce your chances of becom-ing sick by thoroughly washing your hands often, avoiding touching your face, and using hand sani-tizer that is at least 60 per-cent alcohol. Keep in mind that soap and water are more effective than hand sanitizer. If you can avoid large crowds or being too close to other people, you should do so. If you are sick and can stay at home, you should. Make sure
to cover your coughs and sneezes and wash your hands after doing so. It is also important to disinfect the hard services of your home, such as doorknobs, light switches, phones, ap-pliance handles, etc.
While the virus has caused global interrup-tion, we must remain pro-portional in our reaction and mindful of the health and well-being of all Ken-tuckians. One thing is certain, panic will not ben-efit anyone, preparedness will. We will get through this. I trust America and Kentucky will utilize the many blessings we are af-forded to help minimize the impact of the virus by preventing the spread and providing quality care for anyone affected. Yes, life may look a little dif-ferent for all of us in the weeks ahead. As Presi-dent Trump stated during his address to the nation, Americans always rise to the challenge and over-come adversity. Our future remains brighter than any-one could imagine. Acting with compassion and love, we will heal the sick, care for those in need, help our fellow citizens, and emerge from this challenge stronger and more unified than ever before.
COVID-19 will continue to dominate the headlines for some time. Neverthe-less, life must go on, and the Kentucky General As-sembly is still in the midst

of a highly relevant budget session. The decisions we will be making regarding the two-year state budget and six-year road plan will touch the lives of all Ken-tuckians for years to come. We must get it right.
After two months of an-ticipation and debate, the Senate finally received the state biennial budget bill from the House. The Sen-ate Appropriations & Rev-enue Committee, along with budget staff, have been working long days to carefully review the pro-posal and discuss any pos-sible changes to be made to the House’s proposal. Crafting the budget is no easy task, but I feel confi-dent in the Senate’s ability to negotiate a responsible budget bill that you can be proud of, and one that benefits the people of the 21st Senate District. I am continuing to advocate for the key projects and ser-vices that are so important to the counties I serve.
As the budget process continues, so did the work of the Senate. A number of bills were passed in the chamber this week. I want to highlight a few of them:
Senate Bill (SB) 174 is a bill that will benefit our teachers by providing them with an additional way of acquiring Rank II. This bill would allow teach-ers’ national board cer-tification to qualify them as Rank II. Currently, the only way is for teachers to obtain a master’s degree or the equivalent through continuing education. This bill provides for teachers a more economical pathway to achieve Rank II.
House Bill (HB) 266 is yet another pro-military service member bill that makes Kentucky all the more appealing as a state for our brave service-men and servicewomen
to choose to call home. This bill will provide our military personnel with flexibility when they are relocating by allowing them to pre-enroll their children into a school dis-trict before establishing a residence. Moving for military families is hard as it is. This bill eases the challenges of moving by enabling military children to get settled into their schools and making their move more seamless.
HB 256 closes a loop-hole in the law and adds protections to victims of sexual abuse. If passed into law, the bill would clarify that offenders who fathered a child through rape have no custody or visitation rights to that child. The bill extends this to cases occurring outside Kentucky. There have been instances in which offenders argued that cas-es which occurred outside the state are not subject to Kentucky statutes. This makes language clear and provides essential protec-tion to victims and inno-cent children. Finally, the bill offers victims the abil-ity to waive an offender’s obligation to pay child sup-port so that the mother and child will not have to ever interact with the of-fender.
I was pleased to see that SB 9, the Born Alive Infant Protection Act, was successfully passed out of the House Judiciary Committee this week. SB 9 had previously passed out of my committee and then through the Senate where I was happy to not only vote yes but stand and speak in support as a co-sponsor. I am hoping to see it pass out of the House soon, and move on to the governor’s desk for his consideration. I pray he will sign the bill into
law so that additional pro-tections can be provided to the most innocent in our state.
You can find information on these bills and others by visiting https://legisla-ture.ky.gov.
With the end of the 2020 Regular Session in sight, and the biennial budget taking shape, the Ken-tucky General Assembly is working in overdrive on behalf of the citizens of Kentucky. Thank you for your questions and input throughout these final leg-islative days.
I was grateful for a visit this past week from my friend, Pastor Dwaine Meadows, as he opened the Senate in prayer. It was also a pleasure to be joined by Ms. Ava Hale and Mad-eline Lewis from London as they visited and served as my Senate Pages. In my past legislative updates, I have encouraged visitors such as Pastor Meadows, Ms. Hale, and Ms. Lewis, to join me in Frankfort. However, given the devel-opments on COVID-19, and tighter restrictions being placed on the flow of traffic on the Capitol campus, this week and in the weeks ahead, I would instead ask that you call and leave me a message at 1-800-372-7181 or send me an email to [email protected]. I still want and need to hear from you during this important leg-islative session. I promise you that our shared values and best interest remain at the forefront of my mind. Your health and safety is my top priority.
I am honored to be your voice in Frankfort. God bless you and be safe and healthy.

Let’s Reason TogetherBy Alton Norman - Owingsville Church of Christ
5410 E. Hwy. 60 East, Owingsville • 606-261-9263
The opinion page does not reflect the views of the KyNewsGroup.
The Message We Shared
The Gospel of God’s Grace
Paul’s one purpose in life was to preach “the gos-pel of the grace of God” (Acts 20:24). He preached the same message wherev-er he went (1 Corinthians 4:17) and he often wrote about the wonderful grace of God which was made known by our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. The book of Romans provides us with a detailed account of the gospel of God’s grace as preached by Paul.
Paul begins his dis-
course on the grace of God by pointing out that “all have sinned” and therefore every man is in need of the grace of God (Romans 3:23). We have all fallen short of the glory of God by our sins and the only way we can be saved is by the grace of God. Even the Law of Moses was inad-equate to bring about our salvation (Acts 13:38, 39). In Romans Chapter 4 Paul explains that Abraham was justified before God 400 years before the Law of Moses was given; and David was counted as righ-
teous apart from the works of the Law. Without the grace of God no one could be saved – Jew or Gentile!
The “good news”, the gospel of God’s grace is that “while we were still sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8) and through His death we can be rec-onciled to God (Romans 5:6-10). Paul explained it in Ephesians 2:8, 9 “For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves, it is the gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast”. No one can work their way to
heaven; salvation is a gift of God.
Paul certainly teach-es salvation apart from works. But Paul does not teach salvation apart from obedience; in fact he be-gins and ends Romans talking about obedience (Romans 1:5; 15:18; 16:25-27). Neither can we con-tinue to live in sin after we are saved, “God forbid” that we should even think that God’s grace permits sin (Romans 6:1, 2).
Thank you for reasoning with me.

The Men’s’ and Wom-en’s’ Fellowship was Mon-day night. Patti Sorrell let the ladies and Herbie Stallard was the speaker for the men. Tacos were served.
In his letter to the church at Rome, Paul shared his beliefs as he looked forward to meeting them. One of the impor-tant issues Paul addressed was the role of grace in sal-vation. Paul clearly taught that one is saved by grace (God’s kindness) and not by the works a person has done. A portion of Paul’s discussion is found in Ro-mans 4:1-8. Here, in addi-tion to the key concept that it is not works that saves, he shares more about how
grace operates.First, we learn that
though it is grace that saves, one must exercise authentic faith to receive grace. Unfortunately, it has become conventional thought that faith is sim-ply a matter of accepting the truth. No matter how strong one’s belief is in the scripture or the tenets of the faith, it is not until one fully commits their life to Christ that one is saved. The original word for faith does not mean “accept the
truth,” it means trust that requires commitment.
Second, we learn one of the first things grace does is make the believer right with God. The pas-sage speaks of justifica-tion and righteousness. Both words come from the same word that means to decide and declare one right. When the believer fully commits their life to Christ, with grace God de-cides and declares that the believer is now right with God.
Finally, we learn that when the believer is right with God, there is a new state of happiness. Paul quotes the Psalms and declares that the believer who is right, who has been forgiven, is blessed. The original word for blessed includes the connotation of the state of happiness.
We should therefore ask ourselves if we have fully committed our lives to Christ. Are we right with God? Are we blessed?
cold Weather cooking and eatingOver the Hill
By Kathleen Perry
These cool days mean TWO things. Cooking! And eating!
On a chilly day there’s nothing better than hav-ing a big pot of homemade vegetable soup simmering away on the kitchen stove. You don’t need a recipe to get this going, just pitch in everything and let it sim-mer until done and tasty!
Remember to taste-test often.
Ingredients that most people have on hand, and can go in the pot are car-rots, potatoes and onions chopped finely or thick sliced. Dump in some canned corn, green beans and tiny black beans. Don’t
forget the canned tomatoes and tomato juice to give it that good vegetable soup taste!
If you’re a cabbage lover add a couple of cups of sliced cabbage, but if your family has an aversion to the taste of cabbage, just leave it out.
Season to taste with salt and pepper and a little cooking oil. This is veg-etable soup but if you want vegetable beef (or pork or chicken) soup, just have the cubed meat cooking in your Pressure Pot while you’re getting the other stuff going on the stove. When the meat is done, in about 30 minutes, add it and the broth to the big soup pot on the stove.
For an extra taste in your vegetable soup, you can add about ½ cup of dried Cous-Cous and simmer another ten minutes or so. Cous-Cous is tiny bee-bee shaped pasta. If you can’t find it locally you can order it online.
When your homemade vegetable soup is nearly done, it’s time to make that skillet of cornbread to go with it!
Have your oven set at 400 degrees, and your iron skillet heating up with a little Crisco in it. Mix a cup of home-grown corn meal, ½ cup self-rising flour, 1 teaspoon each of salt and baking powder and enough milk to make a batter. Pour the bread mixture into the
hot skillet. Leave on the burner for a minute or so to brown the bottom of the bread, Place in the oven and bake until top is lightly browned, keeping your eye on it.
Now you are ready for some good Homemade Vegetable Soup and Coun-try Cornbread!
On days like these, you can whip up a bunch of de-licious dishes in addition to the soup and cornbread. Like brownies, cookies and cupcakes! The kids can even help with these! The sky’s the limit! And when the weather breaks you will be a lot better cook than you were before!
And probably about ten pounds heavier!

Gov. Beshear Takes Quick Action to Contain Spread of COVID-19 guidance for cloSure of public-facing buSineSSeS, government officeS
On Tuesday Gov. Andy Beshear announced ad-ditional steps to contain and limit the spread of the novel coronavirus (CO-VID-19).
“It’s my job to protect my family and friends, but I believe it’s all of our civic duty to protect our commu-nities,” Gov. Beshear said. “I will use every resource in this state, every dollar at my disposal, every per-sonnel that we have, to do everything we can to pro-tect everyone’s loved ones if we see a spike that is significant. Kentucky, we’ll need your help. We’ll need your help staying calm. We’ll need volunteers and we know you’ll respond. We will get through this together.”
Gov. Beshear reminded Kentuckians to remain calm, have faith and to continue doing their patri-otic duty by following the Centers for Disease Con-trol and Prevention (CDC) guidelines to protect the most vulnerable, which includes seniors and those with chronic conditions including heart, lung or kidney disease. He also de-livered a special message to children, offering tips to relieve stress and anxiety, maintain a routine and stay active.
Gov. Beshear’s new ac-tions include:
Issued guidance on closing public-facing busi-nesses
Tuesday afternoon, Gov. Beshear issued an execu-tive order outlining spe-cific steps all public-facing businesses should take regarding closures, which include:
• By 5:00 p.m. on March 18, 2020, all public-facing businesses that encour-age public congregation or, that by the nature of the service to the public, cannot comply with CDC guidelines concerning so-cial distancing, shall cease all in-person operations.
• These public-facing businesses that must close include entertainment, hospitality and recreation-al facilities, community and recreation centers, gyms and exercise facili-ties, hair salons, nail sa-lons, spas, concert venues, theaters, and sporting event facilities.
• Those businesses pro-viding food, food process-ing, agriculture, industrial manufacturing, feed mills, construction, trash collec-tion, retail, grocery and consumer goods, home repair/hardware and auto repair, pharmacy, and oth-er medical facilities, bio-medical and healthcare, post offices, insurance, banks, gas stations, laun-dromats, veterinary clinics and pet stores, warehous-ing, storage, and distribu-tion, public transportation, and hotel and commercial lodging may remain open, subject to limitations pro-vided in prior orders, but must to the extent practi-cable implement Centers for Disease Control guid-ance, including:
o maintaining a distance of 6 feet between persons;
o ensuring employees practice appropriate hy-giene measures, including regular, thorough hand-washing;
o ensuring that employ-ees who are sick remain home; and
o regularly cleaning and disinfecting frequently touched objects and sur-faces.
Gov. Beshear said the overriding goal of the order is to minimize in-person interaction, which is the primary means of transmission of COVID-19. The immediate implemen-tation of the order is neces-sary as patrons of public-facing businesses gather in large numbers, in close proximity to each other and in enclosed spaces, endangering the health of customers and staff.
“For those out there try-ing to find an exception, if you’re not truly engaging in social distancing, if you are not taking those steps, it will force further action,” Gov. Beshear said. “Not that we want to take it, but we have to protect every-body. It’s all of our duties. Look for ways to be a part of the solution as opposed to being an exception to what we’re putting out there.”
Child CareGov. Beshear said the
state is working with fed-eral partners to continue Child Care Assistance Pro-gram (CCAP) payments on behalf of qualified families during the mandatory clo-sure period. The state will also be covering copay-ments typically covered by families.
Acute and Psychiatric Care Visitation
To limit the spread of COVID-19, Gov. Beshear advised all acute care facil-ities to discourage all visi-tors except for end-of-life circumstances. He also ad-vised psychiatric facilities to restrict visitation, only allowing it if deemed medi-cally necessary by the at-tending physician, admin-istrator and the medical director.
Long Term Care Visita-tion
Gov. Beshear also rec-ommended personal care homes, assisted living, senior care facilities and intermediate care facili-ties limit visitation only to loved ones that are receiv-ing end-of-life care.
Adult Day Health Cen-
tersTo slow the spread of
COVID-19, Gov. Beshear issued interim guidance to require the temporary clo-sure of all licensed adult day care centers across the state. This emergen-cy closure will begin on March 20.
Closure of in-person gov-ernment services
As of 5 p.m. Tuesday, March 17, all government offices are closed to in-per-son services.
“We are having to take some tough steps, but it’s absolutely necessary,” Gov. Beshear said. “We are going to take them. We are going to get through it. We are going to restock, rebuild, whatever it takes to get back to where we were.”
As of 6:30 p.m. March 17, the state’s COVID-19 patient information in-cludes 27 cases:
• 27 F Harrison, recovered

We used to drink sweet tea out of some jelly jars that mom had cleaned up, back in the 1960s and 70s, because back in those days pretty much everything had value and almost noth-ing got thrown away.
We didn’t call it repurpos-ing, we called it surviving.
My son, Cassidy Michael Mattox, is wasteful by con-trast.
“I want some fresh, cold, blue, pop,” he tells me em-phatically, using exagger-ated hand-gestures at least once every day when the Pepsi in one of his special, cartoon containers isn’t fresh enough.
“You still have plenty of pop,” I inevitably reply.
“Yeah, but it’s nasty now,”
he counters.Cassidy is growing up
in a world much different from the one I grew up in.
I remember once as a youngster, seeing a single leather shoe sitting in the corner of the attic of our family home.
“Why don’t you throw away that old shoe? I asked my father.
“Might need it one day, boy,” was his reply, and true to form, a few months later, my father took the tongue from that old shoe, cut a couple strips from an old inner tube and at-tached them to the shoe tongue and then attached the other end to two sides to a forked branch whittled down to size, to make me my first slingshot.
It was powerful, well bal-anced and never broke or came apart, and I’d give about anything to hold it once more in my hands, because when I was hold-ing onto that sling shot, I was holding onto a lot more than a carved stick, some slivers of inner tube and a piece of old shoe, that’s for sure, even though I didn’t know it at the time.
Our memories are a lot like roots and sometimes
they determine how we will grow.
My earliest memories are of riding on Dad’s shoulders while turtle hunting as he walked down the middle of Allison Creek, a tributary of Flem-ing Creek, near our home in central Fleming County.
One of my brothers found an old tennis ball and gave it to me when I was about Cassidy’s age. Note; Like I say, he found it, because none of us had any money to be spending on rubber balls.
I bet I played a million hours with that old tennis ball, using it to bounce off an outbuilding to ‘scoop up a ground ball and fire it to first’ as I practiced base-ball all by myself.
For outfield practice I would throw the ball into the air, or throw it up on the roof and catch it as it came down… except when I threw it too hard and it rolled off the other side of the roof and vanished.
“You two are a lot alike, you’re a lost ball in the high weeds,” my father would say when he would come home from work and help me find the ball.
Our nation is like that this week: A lost ball in the
high weeds.Cassidy enjoys throwing
one of his many rubber balls in games of catch, or when playing basketball, and he also enjoys playing tee-ball in the back yard, now that I’ve about got him consistently holding the bat right.
But he spends the larg-est portion of his daily play time on his ‘Bomb-Byou-Tuh’, which is ‘computer’ to the rest of us.
Amber and I have his laptop monitored so he can only access kids’ vid-eos and cartoons. He likes a variety of cartoons; Thomas the Train, Hey Dougie, Peppa Pig and cartoons of cars crashing into water, or crashing into pools of slime, or crashing into the mouths of cartoon crocodiles… or dinosaurs.
He loves the outdoors too and we went arrow-head hunting the other day down around Martha Mills and though we didn’t have any luck we did man-age to pick his Mommy some daffodils, down by the old home place
My family always called them yellow Easter Lilies, and there’s a good patch of them still going in the same spot.
There for just a moment, with the birds singing all across the Martha Mills bottoms as Cassidy was picking flowers for his mother, it was almost like I was picking them again for mine and it got me to wondering if Cassidy will be drawn to plants and flowers the same way I and Amber are; or if he’ll be drawn to old trees the way we are, the kind of trees that moan when the wind blows.
I wonder if he will con-
tinue to be drawn to rocks and their shapes and col-ors and stories.
I wonder if his genera-tion will flourish with this good earth and protect it.
I guess we will just have to wait and see.
The dogwoods are blooming, so the suckers should be coming on the riffle before too long.
Until then we’ll keep listening to the beauti-ful songs of the birds and picking the Lilies of the field.
To whom it may concern,
Look, I understand – it’s a scary time.
What didn’t seem to some like a very big deal a week or two ago, is now here and very real. The novel coronavirus, and the measures our local, state and federal govern-ments are taking to stop its spread, have disrupted our comfortable routines and put us on a path to parts unknown.
Social distancing, an odd term now introduced into our everyday vocabulary, is now the norm – and a life-saving practice for the physically most vulnerable
among us. But in its wake, we have
all begun to see the begin-nings of an unnecessary panic.
Over the past couple of weeks, my travels have taken me across several counties, and I’ve seen the empty shelves and freez-er cases in our grocery stores and retail outlets.
I read the story this week of the two broth-ers from Tennessee who, on March 1, drove 1300 miles and filled a moving truck with every bottle of hand sanitizer, sanitary hand wipes, and respira-tor masks they could find in small town dollar stores in their home state and Kentucky, then tried to sell it all for top dollar on Amazon and Ebay. Those online outlets cracked down quickly on this type of price-gouging, and the brothers were stuck with their materials until they reportedly donated them.
They justified their be-havior as simply “helping the marketplace” move resources more efficiently from one part of the coun-try to another, and they would make “a little prof-it.”
This past weekend I saw a freezer case empty of all ground beef at a near-by Kroger. There wasn’t panic in the store that I could see, but it was all gone (good thing Lori and I like fish, of which there was plenty).
Or just a couple of days ago my mother told me she witnessed a woman at a local grocery store grab every single package of fresh chicken from the meat case and pile them up in her shopping cart and nonchalantly walk on.
This type of behavior – call it hoarding, stockpil-ing, whatever – actually creates more problems than it solves.
If you go into a store,
and buy up all the ham-burger for yourself, or toilet paper, or hand sani-tizer, you are creating for others the very thing you wanted to avoid for your-self – a shortage.
If you had simply bought one or two of a thing like you normally would while shopping, or maybe bought one larger pack-age, there would be more left for everybody else, and there would be more tomorrow for yourself.
Your preemptive be-havior in hoarding CRE-ATES the disruption in supply, not the situation itself (i.e. the coronavirus and the measures taken to prevent its spread). The government is not closing grocery stores and retail outlets.
And all of this has forced online and brick-and-mo-tor retailers and govern-ments to institute rules against price-gouging and hoarding, one more thing
to deal with in the midst of a crisis.
It sort of reminds me of a depressing French film I watched several years ago, The Time of the Wolf, which follows the misfor-tunes of a family who have fled Paris for their vaca-tion home in the country after some undescribed disease has affected the country. They finally manage to get to a train station, where other sur-vivors are awaiting a train to arrive, and they slowly learn that a group of thugs has hoarded the food and water and are making them available, but only at a high price. The rest of the movie follows this de-clining situation, with the suggestion that the train will never arrive and has been just ploy the thugs are using to keep the sur-vivors at the station.
Even though they may not aim to do so, the hoard-ers among us are contrib-
uting to the unease and uncertainty of the times.
The thing is, I am un-aware of anything in the entire history of Western philosophy, ethics, or re-ligious belief that encour-ages this sort of behavior. The Golden Rule does not say, do unto others before they do unto you, and there’s nothing I can find that says to actively amass treasures which moth and rust will corrupt and thieves will steal.
Hoarding emerges from fear, from greed, from selfishness, and from short-sightedness. It’s all about I, me, and mine. It comes from a place of des-peration, and despair often makes people do stupid things.
This virus, like all oth-ers, will pass in time. It will become another shared crisis we weathered. And what are you going to do with all that toilet paper when it’s over?
State Primary election postponed until June 23
Kentucky’s May 19 Pri-mary Election has been postponed until June 23, following an executive order from Gov. Andy Beshear on Monday.
During his Monday evening press conference on the state’s ongoing ef-forts to contain the COV-ID-19 novel coronavirus, Gov. Beshear announced that, upon recommenda-tion from Kentucky Sec-
By Cecil LawsonKyNewsGroup
retary of State Michael Adams, that the Com-monwealth’s May 19 pri-mary be moved 35 days ahead until June 23.
Beshear filed the ex-ecutive order on Mon-day evening, citing the March 6 state of emer-gency declared in the Commonwealth related to COVID-19 and his powers under Kentucky Revised Statutes to dis-perse crowds during an emergency in the inter-ests of public safety.
This year’s primary elections include the US
President’s races, races for US Senate and Con-gress, and for State Rep-resentatives and State Senators.
Gov. Beshear’s ex-
ecutive order also noted that the Kentucky State Board of Elections will establish procedures pursuant to the order.

During her Treasurer’s report, Julie Cline said that in February the county spent $28,283 for gravel for road repairs, which was down from $36,000 in Janu-ary.
Judge Rogers also said later in the meeting that King Crete Drilling had been hired to placing steel bars along Hickey Road. He said that the job will cost $97,787, with the county’s share at $19,557. However, the county will have to pay for the entire job up front, with the state to reimburse 80 percent.

On Monday morning Gov. Beshear announced the first Kentucky death relat-ed to the conoravirus. The individual was a 66 year old man from Bourbon County with multiple health prob-lems who had contracted the virus and passed away Sunday evening at Baptist Health Lexington.
Gov. Beshear has issued
State of Emer.cont. from pg. 1
the following additional recommendations and orders this week to help prevent the spread of the virus:
- ordered the state’s bars and restaurant dining rooms to close, leaving options for drive-thru and carry out service
- asked most child care centers to close by this Fri-day, with some exceptions for healthcare workers
- asked hospitals cease elective procedures
- waived the waiting pe-riod for unemployment for those who are losing their jobs because of COVID-19 and will waive any work search requirements while the state of emergency is in effect.
- the State Capitol is closed to non-essential per-sonnel
- asked the public to fill social media with positive
content about helping oth-ers, doing their part or sup-porting a small business. He urged people to use the hashtags #TeamKentucky and #TogetherKy.
Readers are advised to keep up with the latest recommendations and clo-sures on television, online, and on the radio. This is a fast development situa-tion, and we will update the News-Outlook Facebook page and our Kentucky News Group website as we get information.
The COVID-19 coronavi-rus is a lower respiratory viral pneumonitis, or viral pneumonia. It produces a dry, progressively worse cough, difficulty in breath-ing, and in almost all cases, a low-grade fever over 100 degrees.
Those over 60 years of age and with chronic health conditions are at the
greatest risk for the virus. The virus is spread
through direct contact with another person, by mucus droplets from those who are affected, either through coughing or direct physical touch.
Doctors are unsure how long the virus can live out-side of the body, but it is currently believed it can stay active for up to one week.
You can take the follow-ing simple preventive mea-sures with regard to the COVID-19 virus:
- Wash your hands with soap and water before you eat or touch your face. Wash your hands for as long as it takes to sing the “Happy Birthday” song (about 20 seconds).
- Clean and disinfect frequently used hard sur-faces. Soap and water can be used.
- Avoid contact with peo-ple who are sick.
- Stay home when you are sick.
- If you are coughing or sneezing, use a tissue and dispose of it, or wear a mask (but a mask will not prevent you from getting the virus).
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth.
- If you are older or have a chronic lung condition, try to avoid public places as much as possible.
A statewide hotline has been set up for any ques-tions about the COVID-19 virus, 1-800-222-1222.

fiscal Court approves receipt of over $700,000 in county road aid
Menifee County Fiscal Court members accepted over $700,000 in county road aid from the state at last Wednesday’s regular March meeting.
Court members voted to approve their annual rural and secondary road allot-ment from the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet for 2021, in the amount of $712,359.
County Judge Executive Rick Stiltner discussed the breakdown of those funds for the magistrates. Of the amount, $142,472 is flex funds set aside for county road paving, and Stiltner asked the magistrates to provide secretary Chris-tine Johnson with a list of
By Cecil LawsonKyNewsGroup
the roads in each precinct that most need resurfac-ing. He said that amount is up some from last year.
$299,000 of the total is set aside for state road maintenance and safety, and $2584 goes to the Judge Executive’s fund.
The remaining amount will be used for two state road paving projects: KY 713 in Means, from US
460 to the newest paving at East Fork Road; and 2.76 miles of KY 3339/Amos Cut Road.
Stiltner said that KY 36 is the number one road in District 10, and it will be paved this year, along with shoulder repairs.
Stiltner said that most state routes are in good shape this year, with the exception of KY 1274.
Magistrate Ollie Whitak-er asked about the bridge over KY 36 at Salt Lick Creek.
Stiltner said that the bridge is scheduled for maintenance work but he has heard no mention of it being replaced or wid-ened.
Whitaker also asked about the potential slide, located at the Bath/Me-nifee County line on KY 36.
Stiltner said that the majority of the hillside is located in Bath County, which falls under Trans-portation Cabinet District 9, but he noted that if the KY 36 is ever blocked by a slide, Carrington Road, which is a county road,

Recreational trails grant to replace buoys on Beaver Creek, channel clean up other grant projectS ongoing
Photo by Cecil LawsonLong Bow boat ramp and Beaver Creek
Menifee County Fiscal Court member approved the receipt of a $317,000 grant that will help to re-place missing buoys along Beaver Creek to Cave Run Lake, remove silt from Longbow boat ramp, and map the floor of the Lick-ing River for potential prob-lems, with work expected to get under way by Memorial Day.
County Judge Executive Rick Stiltner discussed the grant award at last Wednes-day’s Fiscal Court meeting.
The county was awarded the grant in October 2019 in a ceremony at the Farmer’s Market. The county ap-plied for the grant following a contentious public meet-ing earlier last June when Cumberland District Forest Ranger Jon Kazmierski dis-cussed a plan to remove the navigational buoys from the Beaver Creek channel due to concerns over the shift-ing floor of the creek follow-ing extensive flooding.
The county obtained the grant with assistance from Congressman Andy Barr.
By Cecil LawsonKyNewsGroup
Judge Stiltner said at last Wednesday’s meeting that the grant was in the process of finishing paper-work, and he hoped to see the new buoys in the water by Memorial Day.
He also said that he hoped that other parts of the recreational trails proj-ect would be bid out after that, which will include cutting overhanding trees between the buoys, dipping out of silt from the Long-bow area during the win-ter when the water level is down, create three docks in the shallows just outside of the channel, and complete a hydrographic survey of the rest of the Licking River.
Court members also voted to approve a resolu-tion to apply for a $100,000 Federal Emergency Man-agement Agency grant to pay for a study of flooding beginning at Shotgun Hol-low and ending near where Beaver is close to the KY 1274 intersection at KY 36 in Frenchburg.
Stiltner said that flood-ing along the creek has been the top complaint in his office since he became County Judge.
He said that a study of
the creek was completed 30 years ago, and a new study, which will cost $100,000, is needed. The county will be responsible for 13 percent of the total, and he would be looking for ways to pay for that. He also said he would coordinate his efforts with the City of Frenchburg.
Based on the findings of the study, Stiltner said that they would follow the rec-ommendations to mitigate flooding, which might in-clude places where Beaver Creek needed to be cleaned out, where trees can be cut, and places where rock bas-kets might be put on the shore line.
Stiltner also said that the grant to create a 1-mile paved walking trail at the county park was ready to be bid out after the comple-tion of the required envi-ronmental and archaeologi-cal studies.
He said that the County Road Dept. will be doing the bulk of the work.
Stiltner further noted that the environmental study for the Means Sanita-tion District relocation proj-ect has been completed and now easements are needed from 20 residents before the project can proceed.
The $1.4 million grant will pay to connect the Means Sanitation District to the Jeffersonville Water District.
Stiltner also provided an update on the Salt Lick Creek reservoir. He said that they are now in nego-tiations with the contractor to perform repairs on the dam, including replace-ment of the drain pipe and address erosion around the pipe.
Once those repairs are performed, water can be put back into the dam, Stilt-
ner said. The reservoir is currently open and allow its water to flow out.
The Kentucky Division of Water found flaws in the dam last fall following in-spections and issued an or-der to replace it. Since that time, all parties to the is-sue, including the Salt Lick Creek Watershed District in both Bath and Menifee Counties has worked with the Division of Water and agreed to address needed repairs to the dam, with federal funding when it be-comes available.
The reservoir is part of a series of flood control dams along Salt Lick Creek to reduce flooding in the city of Salt Lick.
Court members also heard a request from resi-dent Tammy Blevins, who requested that the county sign on for a Community Block Development Grant to construct a community center for kids to use in Menifee County.

From Athletic Director
Jeff Eaglin: The KHSAA has announced a manda-
tory dead period for all high school and middle school athletics effective through April 12th. This includes not only partici-pation in events but any practices which include any gatherings including voluntarily gatherings using district equipment and staff. Furthermore, no district equipment or district owned property can be used for any athlet-ic or recreational purpose for any teams, including non-KHSAA athletic pro-grams. The only differ-ence between this manda-tory dead period and the traditional dead period in the summer is that coach-es can keep in communi-cation with their athletes but DOES NOT allow any form of practice. I am cur-rently in communication with other district athletic directors and the KHSAA to determine how the re-mainder of the season may look like. We realize there are many emotion-ally distraught about this decision; however, the KHSAA has made this de-cision with the health and well-being of our student athletes and athletic sup-porters in mind. If you have any questions or
concerns, you can private message.
All planned school
events, trips, and athletic games/practices will be cancelled during this time period.
All facilities will be closed to students during this time period.
Because the situation with COVID-19 is con-tinually evolving, changes to this plan may become necessary.
Please follow the Me-nifee County Schools website and Facebook ac-count for updates and ad-ditional information as it becomes available.
On Friday, March 27th, the school district will communicate with local and state officials to re-evaluate the situation to determine if additional days are necessary.
Please refer to the Me-nifee County Non-Tradi-tional Instructional (NTI) Day Information Sheet for information.
If you have any ques-tions, please feel free to contact me at [email protected] or by calling the Me-nifee Central Office at 606-768-8002.
Menifee County Fiscal Court UPDATEThe following statement
was released by County Judge Executive Rick Stiltner last Friday:
We want everyone in Menifee County to know that local government and the health department are working together to protect the residents of Menifee County. At this time, there are zero cases of COVID-19 in Menifee County. We urge every-one to learn all they can and be as informed as possible about COVID-19. Learn how to wash your hands properly. Learn how to practice social dis-tancing. The best way to do that is to visit the Ken-tucky Cabinet for Family and Health Services COV-ID-19 webpage at www.ky-covid19.ky.gov. Learn how to protect yourself and your loved ones, including those in high risk groups by reading through the material available on that webpage. These practices work to slow the spread of the virus but everyone needs to practice them.
If you want to speak to someone please call the hotline at 1-800-722-5725. If you are fearful that you may have COVID-19 call that number for advice and information or call your local provider. They will ask you questions and help you decide if you need to see a doctor. This protects you and your community. Remember that most cases of the CO-VID-19 are mild to mod-erate and full recovery is the farm mostly likely outcome. It is however important to take extra precautions to protection those with chronic illness and the elderly. Working together and following the
proven public health prac-tices described on the ky-covid19.ky.gov webpage is the best way our commu-nities can slow the spread of COVID-19 and ensure that Menifee County has the fewest cases possible.
Please remember! If you feel you have symp-toms of COVID-19, call the hotline number given above or your local health provider

would not be able to han-dle the traffic if it is used as a bypass.
He said that the area un-der concern is on private property, and there is still discussion ongoing with the property owners, but if a slide does occur, the state will have jurisdiction to deal with it.
Regarding other ongo-ing road projects, Judge Stiltner said that the Coun-ty Road Department has received approval from Minnie Becraft to use her property for a bypass while a new culvert is in-stalled on Stonequarry Road.
