February 15, 2012 Calvert City, Kentucky 42029 75 cents per copy Volume 28, Number 38 Jaco files suit against 4 A Marshall County employee is filing suit against members of the Marshall County Sheriff’s Department and a county commissioner. Former parks employee Shane Jaco has filed a wrongful termination and defamation suit following his dismissal last March, according to the documents filed with the Marshall County Circuit Court. Jaco won an appeal in April and was reinstated as a county employee to the county special’s projects crew. Sheriff Kevin Byars and detectives Matt Hilbrecht and Dan Melone are named as defendants in the case along with commissioner Misti Drew. Their legal defense is provided by the Kentucky Association of Counties. Benton attorney Lisa Carter is handling the defense. Jaco is seeking compensation for unlawful invasion and interference, lost wages, distress and legal expenses, according to motions filed by his attorney, William Deatherage of Hopkinsville. He also requests a jury to decide the matter. More than a year ago Jaco was recommended to the fiscal court for a promotion at Mike Miller Park. During the process. Scott Thompson, in the photo above, from Smithland was looking over the flower selection for Valentine’s Day at the Basket Case in Calvert City on Tuesday morning. One of the busiest days of the year, Basket Case owner, Joy Crouch says they will handle well over 100 deliveries of flowers along with balloons to sweethearts across the area on Valentine's Day. commissioner Drew lobbied against it due to previous criminal charges against Jaco. Drew also provided a photo to the Park Board which allegedly showed Jaco with an alcoholic beverage in his hand while on park property, according to the motion filed in circuit court. The county investigated the allegation that Jaco was drinking on park property. The fiscal court did not state whether the photo was taken during or prior to the Sheriff’s Department’s investigation. Deatherage’s motion states that Drew “made derogatory public comments” concerning Jaco, and that she "caused or encouraged defendants Byars, Melone and Hilbrecht to undertake an investigation” of him. Deatherage alleges the Sheriff’s Department questioned Jaco without proper authority and recorded the interrogation without consent. Circuit Court Judge Dennis Foust filed an order on Jan. 18 to recuse himself from the case, asking for a special judge to hear the case. The matter is set to appear in circuit court Feb. 20. Benton man faces drug charges A multi agency drug investigation led to the arrests of three men Monday afternoon in McCracken County on various Methamphet- amine related offenses. Colby P. Mitchell 31, of Vine Street Murray, KY, Steven D. Gipson Jr. 34, of Barnett Cemetery Road Benton, KY, and Howard T. Whyte 42, of Roosevelt Road Dexter, KY have all been charged with drug offenses. Detectives with the McCracken County Sheriff’s Department began an investigation after receiving information alleging that Gipson was involved in the sale of Methamphetamine. As part of the investigation, detectives arranged to meet Gipson in Paducah at a local gas station located at Alben Barkley Drive in Paducah and make a Methamphetamine purchase. Through the investigation, detectives learned that Gipson and Whyte would be meeting their Methamphetamine Source prior to deal. Through surveillance, detectives observed the two men drive to the park¬ ing lot of the school located at 4810 Alben Barkley Drive. While on the parking lot of the school, the two men were observed meeting another man, Colby Mitchell. It appeared the men conducted a hand to hand through the truck window. All three men then drove to the parking lot of the gas station located at 4709 Alben Barkley Drive in Paducah, where they engaged in a drug transaction. After the transaction was complete, detectives arrested the three men without incident. A subsequent investigation revealed that Mitchell had supplied Whyte and Gipson with Methamphetamine to sell to detectives. Detectives searched the truck occupied by Gipson and Whyte and located and seized an additional quantity of Methamphetamine and US currency that was believed to be proceeds of methamphet¬ amine sales. Detectives seized several hundred dollars in US cur¬ rency off the person of Mitchell that was believed to be proceeds of illegal drug sales. During a search of Mitchell’s 2002 Chevy Tahoe, detective’s located approximately 60 grams of Crystal Metham¬ phetamine packaged for sale and a methamphetamine smoking pipe concealed in the vehicle. The seized Methamphetamine has See Benton man faces drug charges on page 3 a. The building located at the corner of Main Street and Railroad Avenue, in the photo above, that housed the Draffen’s Department Store for more than five decades will be demolished beginning early this Saturday morn¬ ing. Demolition of building set to begin Saturday A fter standing on a corner in Calvert City since the early 1930s the building that once was the Draffen’s Department Store building will be demolished beginning this Saturday morning. Calvert City Administrator John Ward told the Calvert City Council Monday night in their meeting at city hall the building’s demolition will begin Saturday. The building was built in the early 1930s and was operated for more than five decades by members of the Draffen family. The business was closed in the late 1970s and other firms operated out of it including The Lake News when it began publishing in 1984. Most recendy the building was used for storage. The building was condemned by Calvert City several months ago. The building’s owner Tom Anthony has arranged for it to be demolished so the property can fall in line with the city’s new building code. The building is one of several different structures and junk vehicles that have been targeted under the city’s new code of enforcement. Ward told the council seven other letters had been sent to owners of abandoned or dilapidated structures as well. The city has also contact nine property owners about vehicles on their property. In other reports Ward told the council that over 600 persons had registered to receive telephone warnings about threatening weather and other emergencies since the Code Red program had been put into place. He said the system had been used twice recently once for a weather alert and another time to inform water customers about a nearby break in a waterline. David Hampton with the Kemper CPA Group presented the city’s audit for the previous year during the meeting. He said there were no instances of non-compliance in reporting in the city’s budget and that the city had a net assets increase of $1.3 million in the previous year. He also said there had been some increases in debt that resulted from sewer expansions at Cypress Lakes and the river port. He noted that grant money for the river port project had been received after the period covered by the audit. The city also expected to get funds for the Cypress Lakes improvements as well. Hampton said the city should also receive additional FEMA re-imbursements for costs related to the spring flooding in 2011. The auditor compliments the work of the city’s staff and how they handled the business of the city. Councilman Gene Colburn gave a report on progress at the fire training center and a potential grant to purchase another fire prop for training purposes there. He also said state fire officials were considering the facility for other types of training and exercises. Calvert Mayor Lynn Jones told the council he had issues he wanted to concentrate on in the coming year including the "Green Team” of kindergarteners and first graders at Calvert City Elementary School. He said the city had to be a leader in green programs and children influenced the behavior of their parents. He said that in a few years every child that went through Calvert City Elementary School would have the experience of being on the "Green Team’I The second issue the Mayor emphasized was the need for affordable housing. He said the city didn’t need to See Demolition on page 3A. Local school resumes DARE program after many years. More information on page A8 in this issue.

TO RESIST DRUGS AND VIOLENCE. T he Livingston County Sheriff’s Department, with the support of the Livingston County School System, is proud to announce that the D.A.R.E (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) program has heen re-instituted at hoth Livingston County elementary schools. The course is being offered to all sixth graders. Deputy Robert Johnson who is an eleven- year law enforcement veteran is instructing the program. Deputy Johnson was certified as a D.A.R.E. instructor in 2008. Deputy Johnson is also a certified school resource officer. The DARE program was taught in Livingston County Schools years ago by retired Kentucky State Police Trooper Chuck Robertson, however the program has not been in the school for many years. Then Los Angeles police Chief Daryl Gates founded the D.A.R.E. program in 1983. Since its inception D.A.R.E has instituted at coundess schools across the Commonwealth, the nation and internationally. Currently the D.A.R.E. motto is "Dare to Resist Drugs and Violence'! Tradition¬ ally the D.A.R.E. program has been known for its anti¬ drug message, but in recent years, it also teaches children how to process situations in order to make good decisions regarding personal behavior, peer pressure, bullying and other topics. The D.A.R.E. website is available to parents who want to learn more about the benefits of the program. Should a parent have any additional questions they can contact Deputy Johnson at the Sheriff's Department at (270) 928-2122. Ironically, the program is being funded, at least this first year, by money that has been generated by the Livingston County Sheriff’s Department from selling property that was seized and forfeited to the Sheriff's Department from drug investigations. It is the departments hope that they can continue funding the program in this manner with no cost to tax payers. The Sheriff’s Department is very excited about this program and the working relationship they now have with the Livingston County School System. There are several other projects that they would like to at¬ tempt to implement in the future. However, they will have Deputy Robert Johnson is in the classroom at Miss Holt’s 6th grade class at South Elementary in Livingston County.

Livingston County Farm Bureau celebrates Food Check-Out Week The cost of food in America remains affordable. According to the U.S. Department of Ag¬ riculture’s Economic Research Service, American consumers spend, on average, just over 10 percent of their disposable in¬ come for food. That means the average household will have earned enough disposable in¬ come - that portion of income available for spending or saving - to pay for its annual food sup¬ ply in about seven weeks, said Kentucky Farm Bureau presi¬ dent Mark Haney. "America’s food supply is the most affordable as well as the safest in the world,” Haney said. “Domestic foods that are pro¬ duced by farmers in Kentucky and throughout the United States are responsible, in part, for our nation’s increased stan¬ dard of living." In recognition of this, Livings¬ ton County Farm Bureau is cel¬ ebrating February 19-25, 2012, as Food Check-Out Week. To mark the occasion, Liv¬ ingston County Farm Bureau Federation will distribute infor¬ mational flyers to local grocery stores. Shoppers will have the opportunity to sign up for a fifty dollar gift certificate drawing re¬ deemable at each store. Those stores include: Salem Food Mart in Salem, Thompson’s Grocery in Smithland, and Jeff and Emily’s IGA in Grand Riv¬ ers. Patrons may begin signing up for the drawings on Febru¬ ary 20th and winners will be selected on the afternoon of February 25th. Winners do not have to be present at the time of drawing. All gift certificates are Rare Asian Crane spotted in Indiana How this Asian crane came to be 7000 miles from its home range is a mystery. The stately bird has been sighted in Tennessee and Indiana, perhaps following the sand hill cranes and returning to their nesting area with them. A hooded crane, normally seen only in Asia, has been spotted at Goose Pond Fish & Wildlife Area in Greene Coun¬ ty, about 7,000 miles from its traditional home range. Hooded cranes nest in southeastern Russian and northern China and winter in southern Japan. The hooded crane spotted at Goose Pond FWA is believed to be the same hooded crane spotted at Hiwassee Wildlife Refuge in Tennessee earlier this winter. How the wayward bird end¬ ed up so far from home is un¬ clear. However, some sandhill cranes, a cousin to the hooded crane, migrate from Asia to the southeastern United States. The hooded crane may have followed those sandhill cranes, and may now be returning with them on their northwest¬ ern route back to Asian nesting grounds. "This wedand habitat is kind of rare in this part of the state,” Goose Pond FWA property manager Brad Feaster said. “So it’s a magnet for water birds of all sorts. When they are flying in the air, this place sticks out.” It is unclear how long the bird will stay in Indiana. Hooded cranes are about 3 feet tall. They have a red and black crown on an otherwise white head and a charcoal col¬ ored body. The International Crown Foundation estimates the world population of hood¬ ed cranes around 9,500. The hooded crane at Goose Pond FWA does not have any bandings, tags or wing mark¬ ings that would indicate it was a captive bird that had escaped. The crane in Tennessee attracted more than 2,500 visitors from at least 35 states and five countries, including Russia. The bird was first spotted at Goose Pond FWA by bird watchers Wednesday after¬ noon. As of around noon on Thursday more than 100 bird enthusiasts had already visited the property from as far away as Minnesota, West Virginia and Nebraska. The hooded crane has been spending its time in Beehunter Marsh on the northeast side of Goose Pond FWA. paid for by Livingston County Farm Bureau Federation. Long after Food Check-Out Week, Americans are required to continue earning income for other necessities. The Tax Foundation has reported that Americans must work approxi¬ mately 99 days to pay their fed¬ eral taxes. "We work much longer to pay for federal taxes than for food,” Haney said.

This valued, personal service, be¬ fore, during and after the “celebration of life event” has been a natural for over thirty years. With the expertise of Rick Hughes, founder, Hughes Funeral Home is dedicated in serving families in Western KY, inter-state, and intra-state. With todays definition of the word “family”, one must be most aware of being educated on making preparation. This decision to go ahead and plan in advance aids in providing protection emotionally and financially for loved ones, providing smooth mechanics for the future “celebration of life” event, while experiencing and making the “planning ahead” easy and simple!' Surprisingly getting the pre-planning phase completed, by documenting those personal wishes and family histories, whether “choos¬ ing to fund” or “not to fund”, can give one a very good feeling,” says Brenda Allcock, who assists in providing that valued personal service. Just when we think we can relax and enjoy the retirement years, we hear about those things we should be taking care of... providing, once again, for our family. We have made our own decisions for ourselves and our family all our life. Do we want someone else to start making deci¬ sions for us now ? Brenda Hughes Allcock, who serves as funeral directress/pre¬ arrangement planner for the family operated funeral home, is very much aware of current trends in the funeral industry and knows the cost of any type funeral service alone doubles approximately every 15 years. These two primary costs include the funeral service, professional fees and merchandise chosen. The cemetery and incidentals are another separate cost, which occurs at the time of the future immediate need. While being sensitive to the surviving family’s future stan¬ dard of living and life needs, she understands the family “nest egg” needs to be utilized for that purpose alone.
