New bridge coming to Kelley Pike (KY 860) in Fleming County

Route will be closed for three weeks

FLEMINGSBURG, Ky. – Contractors will begin a $267,000 project next month to replace a bridge on Kelley Pike (KY 860) at Johnson Creek in Fleming County.

The project, which includes a temporary road closure, will replace the existing narrow span with a new and wider culvert-style concrete bridge. It’s part of $24.2 million in Transportation Cabinet contracts awarded recently in Department of Highways District 9.

Crews with ASL Excavating Inc. expect to start minor earth work at the Johnson Creek bridge by mid-September. As construction progresses, the road will be closed to through traffic for three weeks so sections of new concrete culvert can be installed – likely in October. The closure will be announced in advance.

Work on the project is expected to be complete by Nov. 30, weather permitting.

Adults charged with wanton child endangerment

According to the Ledger Independent, Four Fleming County adults were charged Tuesday with wanton child endangerment after two toddlers were discovered playing near a road without adult supervision.
Flemingsburg Police Chief Randy Sergent said Maj. Falon Fugett was the first to respond to a welfare check on Helena Road where he discovered two toddlers, ages 2 and 3 years old, near the road. With them were two passersby who had called police after seeing the 2-year-old almost get hit by a car, Sergent said. Also responding to the scene was Kentucky State Police Trooper Eugene Robinson.
According to a press release from KSP, Robinson and Fugett entered the home of the two toddlers to discover four adults who were "severely incapacitated due to alcohol consumption." Sergent said officers had difficulty getting an adult to come to the door because of the state of intoxication.
Once inside, Sergent said officers found animal and human waste on the floor. Also, there was no refrigerator in the house and no food except a package of cookies.

Officers discovered a third child, a 7-month-old infant, inside the house. Both toddlers and the infant were removed from the residence due to the unsanitary living conditions, according to the KSP. Robinson and Fugett assisted Fleming County Social Services with the emergency removal.
Brothers Timothy Benton, 26, and Tyler Benton, 21, and their wives, Shayla Benton, 21, and Amber Benton, 21, were arrested and charged with first-degree wanton endangerment, a felony, Sergent said. Timothy Benton, 26, was additionally charged with resisting arrest. The four adults were lodged in the Mason County Detention Center. Sergent said all four are scheduled to appear in Fleming County District Court Thursday.

The safety of the bridge was called into question earlier this month at a Fleming County Fiscal Court meeting by the Hillsboro Homemakers, who often have demonstrations at the bridge.

Brad Barker receives a kidney transplant

Pain. It’s something we all may endure before our lives come to an end.  To watch your child suffer through long term pain is something that should never happen. I have witnessed this pain for the last four years with my youngest son Brad. Not only physical but emotional.  I have watched him suffer since the first part of August 2005. Four years of being hooked to a dialysis  machine each and every night. Being  poked and prodded at the hospital and undergoing a wide range of tests and exploratory surgeries. Emotions have been a roller coaster ride over these years. Not only for Brad but also for the whole family. Stress and financial worries seem to add quit a bit to the situation. Happy one day and ready to end things the next. No child should have to endure this. No parent should have to either. Count your blessings if you can look in the mirror  knowing your child or children are healthy. It is a blessing. You never know until it happens to your family.
At 10:44 am, On Wednesday, July 22, I received a phone call from Children’s Hospital in Cincinnati, Ohio. It was the call for Brad to come get his new kidney. Going in shock is the only way to describe that moment. I drove like a mad man to get from work to the house so we could get to the hospital. I calmed down after Brad was in the car and we were on our way. Guess it was an adrenaline rush I had never experienced before. We arrived at 2:00 pm and he was in surgery by 5:00 pm.  By 9:00 pm he was in ICU asking for a cell phone to call his best friend. The pain medicine wore off later and I had to watch again as he suffered though the next several days.
  I’m like most people. You think when someone has a transplant that everything’s good to go. Not the case. Takes several days after surgery to get over the pain and get moving again.  Swelling and weakness have been a big part of Brad’s recovery. He’s still in the hospital tonight and Mom is with him. Tonight is the July 30.  We have both taken turns staying with him because getting sleep there is impossible.  His older brother Brian even stayed with him last night to give Mom and Dad a break. It doesn’t end there. The next month will consist of three trips to the hospital each week. Two per week the second month and one per week the third month.
  Financially this whole deal is a nightmare. Anti-rejection  medicines along with gas and food expenses are overwhelming.  In 2005 the VFW started a kidney fund for Brad at the Peoples Bank. Four years of dialysis has drained this fund. Three poker runs for him added quite a bit of money in the beginning. The VFW has held several fundraisers, the last one being a two day yard sale. I would like to thank Earnie and Nancy Stephens. Mary Etta Graves, and Dora Kerns for  holding these events’ Also the VFW membership for allowing the yard sales and other fund raisers. All the members have helped through donations or volunteering  their time to help with these events. I’m a Gulf War Veteran and was very active in veterans events until our situation became overwhelming. I will return to support our troops when things get better at home. There are actually too many people to thank in this county. Businesses, churches, my co-workers and everyday people have donated to this fund. Bonnie Fleming has been the best whenever I put updates in her paper. My best wishes to Jerry. Sometimes pride gets in the way of asking for help. Being a Gulf war veteran makes it very hard to ask for help. I know our country is in a recession but my family would appreciate anything that is donated to Brad’s kidney fund. Whether it be a dollar or 10 dollars it all adds up. Thanks to everyone that that has helped out in the past. Also thanks for the get well cards people have sent to Brad.  It puts a smile on his face. Something we’ve waited four years to see. God bless you all!

Sincerely,
Greg & Marcy Barker
