IDEAS

This is a good example of what I have been talking about. A friend and I were talking about the old jail. We both agreed that it shouldn't be torn down until we exhausted every avenue looking for some use. As our conversation went through ideas, we came up with homeless shelter, abused women's shelter, or home for an out reach ministry. We both mentioned the fact that we would need to put some money in for roof repairs etc. Then my friend said how about a haunted house? We definitely could find some volunteers to make sure everything works safely. But he went on to say how about the entire month of October?

Now am I saying it's a go? I am not. But it is an idea that could raise money for shop with a copy or something like that for Christmas and every kid in this county would want to go.
What do you think?

FAIR

If we all go to the polls, tell all those we can to please go vote, explain how a vote counts for me if you fill in the box beside my name, then you can vote a straight ticket if you want. If we do those things we will win! If we win we have lots of things to do, and I do mean WE.

To that end, I would like to ask you to think about being part of a Fair Planning Group. If you are interested in this and you know others who are interested, please contact each other to start thinking what kind of Fair we need.

As many of you know, I lived in London for many years. I was included when they started The World Chicken Festival,. They needed my side yard to park trucks, which has become a happening. There is estimated over 100,000 people come to this festival each year. The way this Festival started was we contacted every church in Laurel County and asked them to have a booth with food, crafts etc. The churches carried that Festival for the first few years. Now many churches make all the money they need for their youth programs and vacation Bible school.

Laurel County also has a Fair with demolition derby, horse shows, tractor pulls some FFA contests for best chicken, pig etc. There are not as many churches booths here as at the Chicken Festival. I did know the people in charge of both and we will have some discussions with them about how they operate those activities.

I think all will agree the federal government has hurt our ability to grow.

SO what I propose is a survey of the federally assisted housing in the county. These are mostly privately owned and a good investment. We have some that are both private and government operated. We have a need for both the housing and the construction business. We can help put all the information together and send it out to prospective companies, builders, and federal agencies. We can start on the survey right away and have some kind of plan in about 90 days.

What do you think is the most important thing the county needs or needs to do?

EMS and a Future Safety Program

I believe our EMS should be part of a bigger safety program. This would include early warning siren system, highway safety, water, coordination with the fire departments, search and rescue, and helicopter service. The central purpose of all these organizations is protection of and response to the people in McCreary County. We need to be looking forward. The future is coming, that's just a fact. The question is how do we prepare our selves for that future.
If we are successful at increasing our tourism. We need to be ready for the guy with a heart attack on the train, the growth in population along the new road to I75, the 'going to happen' school disaster, the speeding 18 wheelers. What if a tornado drops into Clark Hollow? The fact IS that our population is aging.
Do we need a siren warning system?
Do we need EMS closer to Pine Knot?
Do we need heliports around the county?
Do we need to increase 27 speed control?
What about a 6 bed emergency hospital?
Do we need more community college classes?

All this stuff is coming and it is called the future!

If we don't start now, we won't be ready then.

VOTE COUNTS

IMPORTANT

Just talked with Eric Haynes who informed me that these machines we have actually takes a picture of the ballot. So if you vote straight Republican or straight Democrat as long as you fill in the box by my name that vote counts for me. The ballot is not spoiled nor is an over vote created. PASS IT AROUND

Straight Republican and fill in the box by my name!

Straight Democrat and fill in the box by my name!

JOBS

There are always questions about getting jobs. In the past, I have gotten a building donated to SKED which now has people working. I believe the fastest way to get more jobs here is to help the businesses that are already here be more successful, then they will hire more people. We all know that bringing something in from outside would help the economy of the county, but improving what we have is a win all around and very inexpensive.

We also need to expand our thoughts about what is industry. We will be hard pressed to bring a big plant, etc., but senior healthcare is a growing business everywhere. Tourism is something that is a constant need, with the Cumberland Falls, the Daniel Boone, Elk, deer even bears. There are possibilities in all these areas. Did you know fishing is the largest participatory sport in the world, and I believe a pay lake is either here now or will be soon. A vote for me is a vote to look into All of these possibilities.
