Stivers Looks Set to Coast to Reelectioncyberhillbilly.blogspot.comRobert StiversIn the 25th State Senate District Senator Robert Stivers (R-Manchester) represents a swath of Eastern Kentucky running from Knox County, a county less than 30 miles from the TN border, to Magoffin County, a county approximately 50 miles from the Ohio River. This district is 60% Old 5th and 40% Old 7th, which makes it a tough sell for any Democratic challenger to win there, especially against Stivers, a Clay County lawyer who combines the keen legal intellect of one of the region's smartest lawyers with the good poltiical horse sense of a man raised on the bare-knuckled politics of Clay county. In short, Stivers is that right mix of brains and political cunning in a district that requires both. Stivers’ strength was probably what kept Democrats from recruiting a top notched opponent. The man who won the Democratic primary, James “Whitey” Adkins, got off to a less than stellar start when he was sued in small claims court by a local country feed store for not paying his store credit. Adkins total lack of credibility even caused him to lose his home county, Morgan County, to an even less viable candidate whose advertisements touted himself as the Mailman (no, he’s not Karl Malone.) Adkins signs, meanwhile, tout the slogan: “Builder Children for Better Communities.” In a sign of his strength away from his base in the Old 5th, Stivers recently went deep into Democratic territory where former Magoffin County Attorney Grover Arnett hosted a fundraiser for the Senator that hauled in more than $20,000. I’m told by a Magoffin County resident who attended that the event drew a strong local crowd of mostly Democrats: “After Robert spoke, person after person took the floor to thank Robert for all he has done in Magoffin County and how he has always looked beyond party for the common good. The list of projects in Magoffin County under Robert's watch is unparalleled.” That project list includes two new elementary schools, an administrative building, a Justice Center (well needed, I know, as one of my first court appearances was in a renovated strip mall in Salyersville that was serving as the county's courthouse), a new Health Department, a new Library, and multiple water projects. The final outcome of this one isn’t in doubt. Just the margin. Safe Republican.

Reading Celebrations in Kentucky CommunitiesBased on Clay County's successful programBased on the model of the highly successful Clay County Reading Celebration, the Kentucky Arts Council has awarded Reading Celebration grants to Fulton Independent Schools, Marion County Schools, Estill County Schools and Powell County Schools to partner with their respective communities in the creation of events that bring families and schools together to celebrate reading. The grants of $5,000 each have been made possible through support from the National Endowment for the Arts, Challenge America program. Clay County School district was awarded $3,000 to conduct workshops and training for other school district grantees and to assist the Kentucky Arts Council in developing a Reading Celebration Manual as a model for school across the nation that would like to emulate such a program. The Clay County Reading Celebration, begun in 1998 by a citizen group, is for all elementary schools in the county and involves the whole community. The celebration annually transforms an entire school into a fantasyland, attracts dozens of authors, provides plenty of fun snacks and gives away free books; all to entice children into the world of books. Overall academic scores of the Clay County elementary students rose from a score of 50.7 on the C.A.T.S. (Commonwealth Accountability Testing System) in 1999 to a score of 97.8 in the 2008 assessment. Equally impressive are the numbers of avid readers produced since the beginning. In 1999, only seven elementary school children read well enough to be honored for reaching a goal of 300 accelerated reading points. At the May 22, 2009 celebration, 1,060 students met their accelerated reading goals. This year's celebration had over 2,500 attending the event including special guests Lt. Governor Dan Mongiardo, Secretary of State Trey Grayson and Kentucky Poet Laureate Gurney Norman. Marion County School District was the first of the grantees to have their celebration, this past October. “For those that thought reading was boring, the reading celebration certainly turned that thought around and gave parents ideas about how they can make reading fun for their own children, said Diane Evans, instructional supervisor for the Marion County School District. Powell County School District’s reading celebration, “Journey Through the Arts,” on March 28, was an evening filled with student performances involving music, storytelling, drama, media and folk art productions at Bowen Elementary School. The celebration included projects led by artists from the Kentucky Arts Council's Arts Education Artist Roster, Yolantha Pace, Octavia Sexton and Susan Mullins. Fulton Independent School District’s celebration, "Holiday of Books," was held on May 8, 2009, at Carr Elementary School with theme rooms decorated for major holidays of the year and related books. "We had a tremendous turnout," said Fulton Independent Schools Superintendent Dianne Owen. "I thought it was one of the best things we did all year. It really showed how much fun reading can be." The Estill County Reading Celebration, "Oh, the Places You'll Go With Reading," was held on May 22, 2009, at Estill Springs Elementary School with over 2,500 in attendance, including Kentucky First Lady Jane Beshear. Each storybook theme room was sponsored by a local business, organization or agency which provided decorations, food and helped with activities. "The outstanding thing about our celebration was the community collaboration," said Community Education Director Teresa Dawes. "Our sponsors really helped contribute to the success of the event." The Kentucky Arts Council will publish the "Reading Celebration Manual" online by the beginning of the 2009-2010 school year. "Hopefully, the manual will serve as a model for school districts anywhere to begin reading celebrations," said Lori Meadows, executive director of the Kentucky Arts Council. The Kentucky Arts Council is a state agency in the Tourism, Arts and Heritage Cabinet that creates opportunities for Kentuckians to value, participate in and benefit from the arts. Kentucky Arts Council funding is provided by the Kentucky General Assembly and the National Endowment for the Arts, which believes that a great nation deserves great art. The preceding press release was from kentucky.gov

Manchester Police to purchase tasersMore than $88,000 in Law Enforcement Protection Program (LEPP) grants have been awarded to 18 local governments and universities to purchase body armor, weapons, ammunition and tasers for peace officers, Gov. Steve Beshear announced today. The City of Manchester received $1,766 to purchase tasers. Under the LEPP, administered by the Kentucky Office of Homeland Security (KOHS), appropriate agencies can seek financial help for certain defensive items essential in the course of their duties. In conjunction with the Kentucky State Police (KSP), KOHS derives income from sales of confiscated weapons. KSP conducts periodic auctions – only to federally licensed firearms dealers – which generate dollars for the LEPP initiative. The KOHS then assesses needs, and after prioritization, provides whatever funds are available in the acquisition of body armor, weapons, ammunition and electronic or muscular disruption technical devices often referred to as “tasers.” “Statewide appeals for financial support always exceed resources,” Thomas L. Preston, KOHS executive director, said, “but we make every effort to respond with a priority focus on law enforcement safety.” LEPP support goes to police agencies of cities, counties, charter counties, unified counties, urban-counties and consolidated local governments, sheriff’s departments and public university police departments. The preceding press release was from kentucky.gov

Lawmakers updated on health care reform as session approaches
LOUISVILLE — The state’s Department of Insurance is working at breakneck pace to prepare for federally required changes in health care regulations and will present an omnibus bill to codify the consumer protection portions, the department’s commissioner told a panel of lawmakers today. Commissioner Sharon Clark updated the Interim Joint Committee on Banking and Insurance on the state’s progress since August 24, when she last presented the group with information about Kentucky’s efforts to implement federal requirements. Many of the items taking effect early impact consumers’ access to insurance products, she said, with anti-rescission language and the elimination of annual and lifetime limits among them. Although the state has many similar regulations in place, the exact text may not match federal law, so the department will present the General Assembly with a proposal in 2011 to create matching language. Without revising state law, Clark said, officials in Kentucky may not be able to help consumers on their own when they encounter problems. “I don’t want to have to send them to Washington,” she said. Although there is sentiment at the federal level to repeal some aspects of the legislation, she said the portions dealing with consumer protections will likely survive. The other possible legislation lawmakers could face next year involves health insurance exchanges, which Clark likened to a shopping mall. The centralized marketplace would allow individuals and small groups to more easily compare plans and prices. To have such an exchange up and running by 2014 would probably require some sort of basic framework in place this year, she said. The concern about the exchange, she noted, is whether Kentucky will offer its own exchange or work with other states to create a multi-state exchange. Because of Kentucky’s size and demographics, she said, Kentucky might be overwhelmed by larger states in such an arrangement. Rep. Bob Damron, D-Nicholasville, suggested that any legislative framework allow the Department of Insurance wide latitude to develop the basics of a state exchange while collaborating with other states. Because a large portion of Kentucky citizens live near the state line, he said, being able to access health care in surrounding states will be essential to effective coverage. Clark said the state has received a $1 million federal grant to plan an exchange, with the bulk of the money going to research. “I can tell you we have 600,000 uninsured in Kentucky, but I can’t tell you who they are. I can’t tell you where they are,” she said. The reason for their lack of coverage will play a large role in how the exchange is designed, she added. The department will conduct a series of town forum meetings, beginning December 6 in Somerset and continuing throughout the state to gather information, she said. The preceding was a press release from LRC eNews. For more information on items before the Kentucky Legislature contact your local senator Robert Stivers (left) and/or representative Tim Couch (right).

The Richmond Register Clay County once part of Madison County By Fred Engle
Most people know that Green Clay was the father of Cassius M. Clay of White Hall, Madison County. But did you know that he was a second cousin of Henry Clay? Did you know that he was also a brother in law of Kentucky Gov. James Garrard? Or that he was one of Kentucky’s largest landowners — at one time holding title to over 40,000 acres in Madison County? He also owned distilleries, taverns, mills warehouses and slaves. All of this helps to explain why when a new county was developed in 1807, it was named Clay County after Gen. Green Clay of Madison County. Clay County was formed from Madison, Knox and Floyd Counties. Clay County originally was quite large, but it gave up many acres upon the foundation of no less than eight new counties. The county seat, Manchester, originally was called Greenville in honor of Green Clay of Madison County. It was later changed to Manchester, the name coming from the renowned industrial city of Manchester, England.

heraldonline.com Clay County family caught in Myrtle Beach smoke
MYRTLE BEACH -- Light, thin smoke has lingered in the skies above the Myrtle Beach area for several days this week, and authorities attributed it to two separate wildfires in Georgia and North Carolina, and strong winds pushing smoke into the Grand Strand. Several Myrtle Beach area residents and visitors said Thursday that their plans weren’t interrupted by the smoke and it wasn’t causing them any health problems. Jason Chadwell, from Clay County, Kentucky, said the smoke hasn’t really affected his time in the area with his father Rick Chadwell. “We’ve been enjoying our vacation the whole time,” Jason Chadwell said. “It’s not given us a bad trip at all.” Read more: www.heraldonline.com/2011/06/24/3173851/beachbound-sc-coast-has-smoky.html#ixzz1QL6u7WuO
