Book Fair is Saturday

When Fleming County author Ron Thomas donated a copy of his new book, Outward & Inward: an Essay Collection to the Fleming County Public Library in late July, he didn’t realize just what he had done. Along with his donation, Thomas also agreed to promote his book with a book talk / book signing. This was the catalyst for the very first Book Fair at the Fleming County Public Library.

Now, about ten weeks later, FCPL’s first Book Fair is soon to be a reality. Twenty-four (24) authors have committed to be on hand to sell and sign copies of their books on Saturday, October 31 at the library. Several are Fleming County authors or authors with Fleming County ties, including Pearl Carpenter Anderson and her brother, Kenny Carpenter, Garry Barker, Dr. Christopher Beckham, Dr. Jack Ellis, E. Wesley Shoemaker, Jr. , Teresa Slack, and of course, Ron Thomas. David Dick, known to most area citizens because of his monthly articles in the Kentucky Living magazine, is scheduled to promote his newest release, Outhouse Blues. Other authors who have accepted an invitation are Nancy K. Allen, Sam Bevard, Fred Brown, Tim Callahan, Steve Demaree, Ron Elliott, Ann H. Gabhart, Chris Holbrook, James McCormick, Paul Prather, Susan Reigler, Bob Sloan, Georgia Green Stamper, Jan Watson and Macy Wyatt. A representative from Usborne Books will be present to offer the public a chance to purchase books for children. Local churches and organizations have been invited to bring their cookbooks to sell that day. Marty Johnson from Café de Morales will also be on hand to showcase his fine selection of coffees.

Second former UK player facing charges

The owners of Doyle Mobile Homes came forward after hearing about other charges levied against Davender and Miller. Sergent had advertised for anyone affected by a ticket scam to contact the police department.

Russell 45, Panthers 25

From the Ashland Independent: Russell played one of its best halves of football this year in the first half of Friday night’s game versus Fleming County at Ivan McGlone Field in Russell, but it would take a scrappy second-half effort to hold off a resilient Fleming County, 45-25.
Russell didn’t waste any time jumping out to a big lead as Red Devils senior Travis Jones returned the opening kickoff 90 yards for a touchdown. He then went on to score two more touchdowns with runs of 25 and 14 yards, all in the first quarter.
A 27-yard field goal by junior Tanner Locey in the second quarter extended Russell’s lead to 24-0, seeming to give the Red Devils an early start on homecoming celebrations. But Fleming County wasn’t ready for the party to begin.
The Panthers came out in the third quarter looking like a different team, led by senior Devon Duncan, who had touchdown runs of 23 and 59 yards in the third quarter, bringing them within striking distance at 24-13.
However, Russell fought back by scoring two touchdowns of its own at the beginning of the fourth quarter to push the lead back up to 38-13. Once again though, the Panthers weren’t finished.
On Fleming County’s first pass of the game, quarterback Chris Jones hooked up with Duncan for a 59-yard touchdown. Fleming County would successfully recover the ensuing onside kick at the Russell 35-yard line, and, one pass later, Jones would find Preston Dugan for a 35-yard touchdown pulling them to within 13 with two and a half minutes remaining.
But Russell didn’t waste any time in ending Fleming County’s hopes for a comeback as they turned to their star senior Travis Jones again. On the first play after recovering a botched onside kick, Jones ran for a 41-yard touchdown to extend their lead and seal a Russell victory.

The Panthers fall to 3-3 on the season and play West Carter on October 9 at home.
