With guidelines, and things changing daily, the first day of school could change. Chromebook would also be used for homebound students, or if a student didn’t re-turn back to school due to a health issue with the concern of COVID 19 (This would need to be approved by the school).
A motion was made by Luann Kelly to purchase the Chromebooks for the Nicholas County School District for the student use, per the Elearning plan for Nicholas Coun-ty.

Peripartum CardiomyopathyBy Savanna Smalling
Chances are, you haven’t heard this term. It’s a big one, and it’s kind of scary at first glance. As it should be. Peripartum Cardiomyopathy, better known as PPCM, is heart failure that occurs in the last month of pregnancy and up to the 5 months post-birth. Heart fail-ure that can be caught, diagnosed, and treated. Sadly, for Lauren Kaiser, this wasn’t the case. Lau-ren was a 19 year old first time mother, settling into the excitement of having her first born son. The baby shower was thrown, the nursery was set up, everything seemed per-fect for she and baby Logan. However, on No-vember 28th, 2019 we lost Lauren and Logan to a completely prevent-able cause. She exhib-ited signs and symp-toms, that weren’t taken
seriously by her doctor. PPCM is NOT rare. It’s rarely diagnosed, be-cause the symptoms so closely match those of what we would consider a “normal” pregnancy. As a state representative for Save The Mommies, an advocacy group based out of Nebraska, I strive
daily to prevent this from happening to any more families, to raise aware-ness so mothers know what to look for. If you are pregnant or plan to become pregnant, please read and remember the signs of PPCM:
• shortness of breath
• extreme swelling/weight gain
• fainting • chest pain/quickened
heart beat • persistent cough
Knowing these signs could save your life, as well as your unborn child’s. Know your body.

Bread of LifeJesus is the Good
Shepherd Psalm 23:1 The Lord is my shepherd I shal not want. Just as a shepherd carries a lamb, Jesus carries us close to His heart if we’ve made Him Lord of our lives, He is our shepherd, our Savior. God loves us even as He loves His Son, Jesus. John 17:23 I, in them and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that he world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. God
is our Father who com-forts us in our trouble. He will wipe away every tear from our eyes, and take away all pain, The love that the Father has for us is revealed in Je-sus Christ His son. Jesus came to earth to demon-strate that God is for us not against us. Romans 8:31 what shall we then say to these things if God be for us, who can be against us? Jesus Christ died on a cross so that you and I could be recon-ciled. II Corinthians 5:18 And all things are of God,
who hath reconciled us to himself by Jesus Christ and hath given to us the ministry of reconcilia-tion. Jesus’ death was the ultimate expression of God’s love for us. God the Father made a way for us to come to Him through His son. Jesus bore upon Himself the weight of our sin, nailing it to the cross so that we could be born into His family. Romans 5:10 For if when we were enemies we were recon-ciled to God by the death of His son, much more being reconciled, we
shall be saved by His life. John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life; no man cometh unto the Fa-ther by me. Each one of us are God’s precious cre-ation and He longs for us to come to Him and have a personal relationship with Jesus paid the price; it’s our part to accept the gift of His love. If you don’t know Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior. Just pray wherever you are. Heavenly Father I come to you now, creator of Heaven and Earth. I
believe in my heart that Jesus Christ is your son you sent to earth, born of a virgin, was crucified on a cross as a sacrifice for the sins of the world. I believe you raised Jesus from the dead and He is alive and well seated at your right hand in Heav-en. I repent of my sins and choose to follow and
obey Jesus as my Lord and Savior. I ask you Je-sus to be Lord of my life and receive you as my Lord and Savior with all my heart. In Jesus name I pray, Amen. Now con-fess to people you are saved. Praise God.

“It’s hard to walk a political tightrope in a hurricane,”
From the Book: ‘Days Of Anger, Days Of Tears’ by late Row-an County Author and Historian, Fred Brown. Brown was talking about how the Rowan County War made neutrality vir-tually impossible for politicians who were allied with the Tolliv-er faction if they were Democrats or the Mar-tins if they were Re-publicans.
John Martin was lodged in the Rowan jail following the shoot-ing death of Floyd Toll-iver and trouble began brewing almost imme-diately.
Tolliver left a wife and two children.
Z. T. Young was the county attorney for Rowan County and a
strong Democratic ally of the Tollivers.
His role in the cur-rent affairs of the trou-ble has been brought into question by feud members and histo-rians alike over the years.
What we do know is that Young had Mar-tin transferred from the Rowan jail to the Winchester jail by train on December 3, 1884 after loud ru-mors of a necktie party were heard floating along the streets of Morehead. At Martin’s wife, Lucy’s insistence, Young had ridden the train in Martin’s com-pany as far as Mt. Sterling.
Martin’s examin-ing trial, scheduled for Dec. 9 was can-celled and Lucy was informed of the news of a delay in the pro-ceedings and with that
good news she boarded a train for Winchester to tell John.
She visited him in jail and they were greatly relieved to see one another. She left him in good spirits.
John Reid ‘Bud” Toll-iver, a cousin of Floyd Tolliver’s had stud-ied law and drafted a phony prisoner trans-portation order, which Farmer’s Town Mar-shall, Alvin M. Bowl-ing, took to Winchester and used it to secure John Martin
Martin recognized Bowling and the men with him and the fabri-cated order for what it was. He pleaded with the jailer, who had routinely heard simi-lar stories from prison-ers before, and thus he paid it no mind, releas-ing the handcuffed and shackled Martin to Bowling. Martin was thus on the same train as his unbeknownst wife, although in an-other car, on its return
to Rowan County.As the train ap-
proached the com-munity of Farmers, Lee and Marion Toll-iver boarded the train and forced the engi-neer to keep the train from moving forward, as a group of several masked men entered the train coach 38 of the C& O Passenger train.
Craig Tolliver, broth-er to slain Floyd Toll-iver, was the man in charge of the masked men.
Lucy Martin noticed the train had stopped longer than it normal-ly should and when she heard a barrage of gun shots in the next coach, her heart sank and she instantly knew John was on board and something terrible had happened.
In the eternity it took for the train to reach Morehead, Lucy made it to her husband’s side. She tried to apply direct pressure on his
wounds, but Lord have mercy, there were so many of them.
We don’t know how John Martin was able to stand and walk off the train at the Morehead Depot but numerous historical sources confirm he did, and that he walked from the depot to the entrance of the Powers Hotel before he fell, dragging his wife onto the frozen ground with him; and as her cries for help turned to hys-terical wails, winters cruel wind made the falling snow swirl cha-otically around the two of them there in the middle of First Street.
Men came running from all directions, and try as they might to assuage the awful sorrow that emanated from Lucy, and stop John’s bleeding, they finally simply carried them both inside the hotel as news of the shooting of John Mar-tin spread across the
landscape.Lucy would not know
for certain until some-time later when she washed and prepared her husband for his funeral that John had been shot at extremely close range nine times.
John was 38-years-old. Their only child, a son, Thomas Martin, was three years old.
John’s last words had implicated Alvin Bowling and the Toll-ivers in his shooting.
John had four sisters and a brother when he left this world. One of his sister’s, Sue Mar-tin was falling in love with Rowan Sheriff Cook Humphrey.
Martin allies be-gan looking to Sheriff Humphrey for guid-ance and vengeance.
They wouldn’t have to wait long for the firestorm of violence to shake their world.
Revenge does not feed upon reason.
To be continued.
Songs My Dad Loved to SingBy Tom Metcalfe
Sunday, June 21 is Fa-thers’ Day. For Mothers’ Day I talked about my mother. It is only fair that I should talk about my father on Fathers’ Day.
My father was a man who enjoyed music. He liked listening to mu-sic and he loved to sing. When my father sang, he didn’t care who heard him. In church he was known to stand out for 3 or 4 pews around him. When my sisters went to church with him they would remark about how loud he sang. His phi-losophy on singing was, “If you’re going to sing why not let the world hear you?” When Pop was working, he sang – sometimes church music and sometimes country. People in the neighbor-hood knew when Pop was working because they could hear him singing.
When I was a teenag-er, I was embarrassed by his choice of music on the
radio. Back then country music was referred to as “hillbilly.” We dared not change the radio station. That was when singers like the Carter Family, Jimmy Rodgers, Ernest Tubb, and Kitty Wells were popular. Later mu-sic styles changed with singers like Eddy Ar-nold, Ray Price, Kenny Rogers, and Willie Nel-son. With the change in style, the genre name changed to “country mu-sic.”
Pop’s favorite singers included Faron Young, Ferlin Husky, Patsy Cline, Jean Shepherd, and Webb Pierce. He seemed to like all of the “Hanks” – Hank Wil-liams SR, Hank Snow, and Hank Locklin. He loved listening to the Grand Ole Opry , which has been around since 1925. He and Mom even made a trip to Nashville once to visit Ryman Au-ditorium. The Opry was known as a national barn dance, and was broadcasted on Nash-ville radio station WSM,
with stars like Roy Acuff and Minnie Pearl.
When “Rockabilly” style music came around in the early 1950’s, I was able to tolerate that form of country music. Some of the rockabilly singers included Johnny Cash, Carl Perkins, and Roy Orbison. Guess what! My father was not a fan of that style, maybe be-
cause it was the forerun-ner to “rock and roll.” But with all that wild behavior from singers like Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Chuck Berry, older folks just couldn’t abide with all of those hip movements.
There are so many singers from that era, I feel I might have slight-ed some of Pop’s favor-
ites, so let’s just throw out a few other names that might bring back memories: Don Gibson, Johnny Paycheck, Son-ny James, George Jones, Little Jimmy Dickens<
Lefty Frizzell, and Carl Smith. I was Pop’s pri-mary care giver in his last years on earth. I sure miss Pop!

District Kentuckians — this is a time for all of us to come together, to rise up, and to demand change. If you feel like your voice doesn't mat-ter, I know what that feels like. If you think the career politicians in Congress don't care about you, I know what that feels like. If you are struggling to put food on the table, or if you fear bankruptcy when you go to the doctor, I have been there.
I am writing to you to-day to introduce myself, to tell you why I am run-ning to represent you, and to humbly ask for your vote.
I grew up on a farm in Fleming County. I was a football player at Flem-ing County High School and then at Georgetown College. I've worked my hands to the bone to
make a better life for my family and my children. I've been dedicated to public service, not just in the United States Ma-rine Corps, but as a po-lice officer in Maysville.
Like a lot of folks, I’ve felt disconnected from my government. And it drove me to run for this seat because I know we can do a better job. My highest priority is duty to others, and public ser-vice for those who cur-rently feel both under-served and ignored.
I am passionate about fixing our healthcare sys-tem. No matter if you're poor or if you're rich, no matter if you live in a metropolitan area or in a rural community, you should have access to af-fordable healthcare. I've experienced this crisis in my family and seen those denials come from the insurance company.
We can see the inequity of our healthcare sys-tem, and we need lead-ership that is willing to get together and solve it.
I’m passionate about fixing the opioid epidem-ic — something that has been around in this dis-trict and across the state now for years. Those are my friends and my fam-ily that have suffered from this.
I’m passionate about rural broadband, mak-ing sure that our public schools are fully funded, and the legalization of medical cannabis. I'm passionate about ending corruption in govern-ment, and kicking out career politicians.
I am not running for this seat because I in-tend to be a cheerleader for any party or any oth-er politician. Unfortu-nately our current Con-gressman, Andy Barr,
has turned himself into a cheerleader in Wash-ington. We are in the middle of a pandemic with more than a hun-dred thousand Ameri-cans dead, and right here in Kentucky, more than 800,000 people unemployed. But Barr attempted to rip health-care away from almost a hundred thousand of his very own constituents to make sure that those with preexisting condi-tions, or those who rely on Medicaid, were left helpless.
When I go to the Unit-ed States Congress, I will put regular people's in-terests first. I will make sure that their voices are heard and that they have someone speaking up for them in Washing-ton, DC. Together, we can make Congress work for the people again.
HMH Wellness Center reopens, expands servicesThe HMH Wellness
Center reopened on Mon-day, June 1, 2020. The operating hours are Mon-day - Thursday from 6:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m. and Fri-day from 6:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. During the summer months, the HMH Well-ness Center will be closed on Saturdays. In late summer, the staff will re-evaluate whether to open on Saturdays.
Due to the COVID-19 crisis, the HMH Wellness Center will follow the rec-ommendations set by the Kentucky Department of Health. Upon entering the HMH Wellness Cen-ter, each client will be screened, which includes a temperature check. Masks will be issued to all who use the facility. HMH will also follow the clean-ing and disinfecting pro-tocols. As always, hand sanitizer and handwash-ing stations will be avail-able in the Center.
There will be limited ca-pacity due to reconfigura-tion of equipment to com-ply with social distancing mandates. Clients must be prepared for a poten-tial wait if the Center is at full capacity. A time limit of one hour per day maximum in the Center will be enforced to allow other clients access to the facility. At this time, the Silver Sneakers classes will not resume until a later date.
The HMH Wellness Center is $20 a month, with no yearly contract. And, the monthly fam-ily plan for three or more people is only $45. HMH has fitness trainers avail-able to help a client devel-op an individualized fit-ness plan. Also, a person can work out with no par-ticular routine in mind.
New to the HMH Well-ness Center will be water aerobics classes at HMH at The Cottages. HMH at The Cottages is the life-style center of The Cot-tages at Flat Run, which is located at 1445 KY Highway 36 East, Cynthi-ana, Ky. The classes will begin Monday, June 15.
Several water aerobics classes will be offered at the facility. The current schedule is two classes daily Monday - Friday
from 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m. A higher level aqua power class will be offered on Tuesdays and Thurs-days from 5:00 p.m. - 6:00 p.m.
The class fees are $40 per month. If you pay annually, the cost is $30 a month/$360 a year. If you are a HMH Wellness Center client, you can pay for both at $60 a month or pay an annual fee of $600 ($50 per month). You can register for as many classes as are available per month. For the month of June 2020, the fee will
be discounted 50 per-cent. Please note at this time, there will be CO-VID-19 screenings, which includes a temperature check upon entering the building.
To register for water aerobics classes or for fur-ther information about the HMH Wellness Cen-ter, please contact the HMH Rehabilitation Ser-vices Department at 859-235-3553.
With the addition of an indoor therapy pool at HMH at The Cottag-es, HMH Rehabilitation Services will now offer aquatic therapy for pa-tients. Aquatic therapy is physical therapy that takes place in a pool un-der the supervision of a healthcare professional. This type of therapy im-proves muscle relaxation, provides resistance for strength training, and of-fers the ability to decrease stress on the joints, while strengthening muscles.
Aquatic therapy is ben-eficial for patients who have sports-related inju-
ries, arthritis, shoulder pain, hip, knee and ankle pain, total joint reha-bilitation, lymphedema, chronic pain, and low back pain. The physical therapist will discuss if this type of therapy is an appropriate option for the patient.
“HMH is happy to re-open the HMH Wellness Center to our clients. We realize that regular ex-ercise is key for having good physical and men-tal health,” said Sheila Currans, HMH Chief Ex-ecutive Officer. “We are also excited to offer new exercise programs and therapy services at HMH at The Cottages. The ad-dition of aquatic therapy and water aerobics pro-vides more options for individuals in our com-munity.”
