You're Invited to Veterans Celebration at School Monday

Crittenden County High School will be hosting a Veterans Day Celebration on Monday.

History and social studies teacher Kim Vince says Crittenden County students will present a "Military Through the Ages" program and exhibit a Missing Man table.

Students are in charge of the event.

All students are being encouraged to dress in patriotic colors. There will be special parking arrangements for school personnel and students. They are to use the gravel lot on the west end of campus or the middle school lot. This will allow for parking by guests.

Livingston Hospital CEO Liz Snodgrass, a military veteran, will be the keynote speaker. Snodgrass was the featured speaker at the recent Kentucky Traveling Vietnam War Memorial opening ceremony and drew great accolades from those attending.

Veterans are encouraged to attend if possible.

The event begins at 9am at Rocket Arena and there will be a reception for veterans following the presentation.

Take the big one to Outdoor Obsessions

Deer hunters, if you take that big buck this weekend, call Robert Kirby.

Outdoor Obsessions is ready to preserve your trophy whitetail.

Robert Kirby is has many years of experience in taxidermy, with several types of deer mounts available. He is committed to offering professional services in a timely manner.

Hunters will be greeted with some of coldest temperatures of the fall when season begins Saturday. By the first of next week, we could see temps in the teens and single-digit windchill.

The rife deer season will last 16 days, ending on Sunday, Nov. 24. While hunters are allowed only one buck over the entire deer hunting season, they can harvest as many does as they’d like in Crittenden and Livingston counties, because both are Zone 1 areas.

To check a harvested deer, have a pencil handy to write down your confirmation number, and dial 1-800-CHK-GAME.

Let this one sink in a for a few seconds

Yes, this Ford Mustang climbed on top of a blue Dodge Ram on Main Street Friday afternoon.

No one was injured in this traffic mishap, and that's the good news.

A teen driver was behind the wheel of the Mustang, which was unable to stop as traffic came to a standstill in front of First United Bank and Subway shortly after 4pm.

Local businessman Johnny Nesbitt was driving the Dodge pickup, pulling about a 16-foot utility trailer.

The Mustang ramped up the trailer into the bed of the pickup with its front tires coming to rest on the back of the cab. Had to be a frightening experience for all involved.

"I thought I had seen it all, but I guess I hadn't until now," said Scott Tabor, who operates Tabor's Towing and Repair and was able to separate the two.

Largest meth bust in history of Marion

More details have emerged about that armed fugitive who was arrested Wednesday sleeping behind the wheel of a vehicle parked in a random driveway just a few blocks from the city police station.

Josh Jones, 31, of Marion had escaped from a halfway house in Louisville in July. He had also eluded officers in a vehicle chase on Sunday, Oct. 27 in the northern part of the county.

Jones was captured this week sleeping in a parked car in a driveway on West Depot Street.

Police say that inside his car they found a 9mm handgun with a high-capacity clip, 341.6 grams (or 12.2 ounces) of methamphetamine worth about $30 a gram on the streets, 2.7 ounces of marijuana, 10 hydrocodone pills, other drug paraphernalia and more than $2,500 in cash.

It was the largest methamphetamine bust ever by city or county law enforcement.

A fugitive arrest warrant from Louisville says Jones was serving a 31-year sentence for drug trafficking, theft and flagrant non-support convictions in Livingston and Crittenden counties.

The warrant also says his scheduled release date was in 2035 prior to these latest changes, which includes escape, a weapons charge and multiple drug charges associated with this week's arrest.

He is being held at the Crittenden County Detention Center.

For further details on this arrest, see the upcoming printed edition of The Crittenden Press.

Held at historic Fohs Hall, the production is sponsored by the Community Arts Foundation and is directed by Phyllis Sykes. A half-dozen local actors make up the cast, including newcomers Sydney Wynn, Shanna West and Phillis Hardin. Veteran Becky Tyner-Belt also has a lead role in the play.

The play begins at 6 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 16 and at 2 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 17.

Local turnout good, county strongly red

Crittenden Countians showed up strongly at the polls today and went largely for incumbent Republican Gov. Matt Bevin, who appears to have lost narrowly statewide to Democratic challenger Andy Beshear, the state’s attorney general.

With 99 percent of the statewide ballots counted, Beshear has 49.2 percent of the vote and Gov. Bevin 48.8 percent. Locally, Bevin received 67 percent of the vote. The outcome of this race statewide will likely not be determined until early Wednesday morning.

Crittenden sided heavily with the GOP as did the entire state – at least on the lower part of the ticket.

In Crittenden County, turnout was 45 percent, quite high for an election without local races.

For a complete wrapup of local election returns, see this week's printed edition of The Crittenden Press which will have precinct by precinct results. Your weekly newspaper will be on newsstands at about noon on Wednesday.

Set your clocks back tonight

Daylight Saving Time ends tonight.

Standard Time returns at 2 a.m., on Sunday morning and the clocks will stay on Standard Time until March 29, 2020.

Some states would like to stay on Daylight Saving Time, but federal law prohibits it at this time. Hawaii and Arizona opted out of the time change in the 1960s, when it was allowable.

Don't Forget: Mock Disaster is this afternoon

Crittenden County Emergency Management along with Crittenden Community Hospital and other emergency response agencies will be conducting a Mock Disaster Drill on Saturday.

The exercise aimed at honing skills, training and testing readiness of first responders will begin at 4 p.m. The drill will be held at Lake George also known as Marion City Lake. While most of the activity will be centered in that area, emergency vehicles running lights and sirens will be prevalent in the community during the event.

Chuck Hoover, director of Emergency Management in the county, said details of the fake disaster are a well kept secret because coordinators want to make it feel as real as possible. He said it could be something to do with a water rescue since it’s at the lake or perhaps an automobile crash. There could even be a search and rescue operation worked into the plan.

“Whatever we do, it must exceed the hospital’s capacity,” Hoover said, pointing to the emergency room’s space. “There will probably be eight or nine patients.”

The Local Boy Scouts Troop 3030 will serve as role players, either patients or bystanders.
Hoover said Crittenden Community Hospital is required to have a mock drill more regularly than the local emergency management team. This particular drill is largely to meet the hospital’s needs. Joey Jones is responsible for emergency response at the hospital, Hoover said, and he will be helping to orchestrate the exercise.

“We want to involve as many response agencies as possible,” Hoover said.

It’s going to look and feel like a major news-making event to residents and motorists in the community when alarms start blaring on Saturday afternoon.

Besides law enforcement and the hospital, Crittenden EMS, local fire departments, AirEvac and others will be involved in the mock disaster.
