WASHINGTON, DC – The Purchase Area Development District, based in Mayfield, Kentucky, received a 2014 Innovation Award from the National Association of Development Organizations (NADO) Research Foundation for the Innovative Readiness Training Partnership project.

During August 2013, the US Army Reserve and the Delta Regional Authority partnered to provide free medical, dental, and optical services via the Innovative Readiness Training (IRT) in Mayfield, Kentucky. The purpose of the IRT program is to improve military readiness and training to

doctors and nurses in the reserve forces while simultaneously providing quality health care to communities. By utilizing their extensive resources, the military is able to meet urgent civil needs, including expanding access to basic health care. Anyone could receive services, on a walk-in

basis, regardless of their place of residence, whether they had medical insurance, or their income level. During the eight-day training, 937 individuals received free medical services.

The Delta Regional Authority is a federal-state partnership that is congressionally-mandated to

create jobs, build communities, and improve lives for the people of the eight-state Delta region. Staff from the Purchase Area Development, City of Mayfield, and the Jackson Purchase Medical Center provided local coordination of the project. The IRT health

said. Built in the early

1900s the house asso-ciated with the original G. T. Scott Farm, Rob-inson’s great-grandfa-ther was freshly under restoration. Contractor Jason Beasley hired by Robinson to complete the preservation project had removed an addi-tion to the rear of the house, a week prior to the fire occurring, that was not a part of the original construction.

Although there are several structures, as well as the farm, with historical significance the house is where the

efforts had been con-centrated. Over the past four years, a consider-able amount of time has been spent with consultant and historic preservation specialist Melinda Winchester on surveys and research into the back ground of the farm and buildings.

Mentioning to a hwy planning team which worked its way through the area about five years ago, Robin-son says he had asked if any one had looked into the history of some of the buildings he owned along the current Hwy 60. Not considering any of the structures to have historic value they were

surprised at the findings during a preliminary re-cord search.

Architecture is part of what gave the house historical credentials. According to an article by Winchester, the hip roof gave the bungalow style house its unique design. Catching on in popularity there were few of this type house in Ballard. The Scott farm once had three located on it. A Field Guide to American Houses states this type house made up less then 10 percent of Craftsman constructed houses.

The house has been used for the past ten years as a storage fa-cility for Robinson’s late wife’s, Dr. Char-lene Robinson, medical practice records. Lost also in the blaze, ac-cording to Eagle Rest Plantation Secretary Dawn Bergeron, were a couple of antique bed room suites and a few other miscellaneous an-tiques. Bergeron said as far as they are aware there hadn’t been as much as a trespasser on the property.

Robinson says he had cancelled the insurance on the house thinking the condition of the roof made it uninsurable but had made arrangements to reinsure it after the restoration was com-pleted.

Robinson said if the fire had occurred a few weeks ago it would have saved him a cou-ple thousand dollars.

The fire is under in-vestigation at this time and arson is believed to be the cause. If you have any information concerning the fire con-tact the Ballard County Sheriff’s Department.

was on my way to BMHS, I made a special trip past the cemetery just to see how it looks a couple of days after the makeover. Knowing the exact location, or so I thought, I blew right by without knowing.

The cemetery had been cleaned a year or so earlier, and it was a maintenance and repair trip for the group of seven volunteers this time out. I had gone out on the past Saturday to observe their efforts as they cleared away overgrowth from the thicket as it was threatening to reclaim the cemetery as its own again.

One of the stones in the cemetery is engraved with the name Thos. Terrell; a Civil War soldierMaking the connections: Pink-Out

On Tuesday, Sept. 23rd, the Lady Bombers volleyball played Community Christian Academy at home in their annual Pink Out for a Cure game. During the game, which Ballard won, I unexpectedly happen to run into someone I had intended to contact.

Johnny Hargrove, or as some of his friends refer to him, ‘Groover’, is someone I have known for a lot years. Johnny is quite the creative sort, working with natural wood such as finding and making canes or walking sticks from twisted grape vines, etc.

Figuring an old-looking rail-style fence would highlight the cemetery, I sat down beside him to ask if he would be interested in putting his creativity to use and erect the fence. The fence would be on either end of the cemetery between the road and the stones leaving an opening between the two pieces of fence to create an entrance.

As we discussed the cemetery and the fencing, much too my surprise Johnny was familiar with its location. As the cemetery was obscured in over growth again, I was curious how he would have known of its existence. He said as he was passing by when the cemetery had first

been cleaned, he noticed a piece of twisted sassafras that had been cut and discarded by the cleaning crew. He stopped to get the stick, and while he was there he took the time to explore the cemetery.

The GPSAt that point of the

conversation he said he found a GPS singling device in the cemetery.

When he told me about the GPS, I knew instantly what he was talking about. I remembered the cemetery cleaning crew finding something they weren’t sure what it was or what to make of it.

The item they had found was around the size of a Band-Aid box, a little thicker possibly, made of plastic the color of army green. There was speculation as to what they had found, and what it might be, but as I recall no one ever mentioned GPS.

The signaling device it seems is part of a nationwide scavenger hunt game called GEOCACHING.

He was acquainted with these types of games through his son. During the years his son attended middle school, he and all the students had played this style game.

Intrigued by the information I had just received, I returned to the cemetery to see if I could find the game piece. Not sure where to begin looking and fearing it had been thrown away and covered up by debris, I began my search at the place it had been found.

There it lay a foot or so away on the ground underneath the piece of tree stump where it had been found.

The tree stump in its self is unique in that it is arced in an 12-16 inch radius with a natural grooved out spot from where the stump had once been a tree about eight inches across that had been bent over exposing the hollowed out portion facing skyward. That’s where the GPS had been found, and that’s where I put it back but not before bringing it home with me.

The signaling device said Do Not Disturb, but

there was identifying information written on it with a felt tip marker that gave code numbers, the name of the person who had left it there, etc. The markings were faded beyond my recognition, but I knew a younger pair of eyes at home could probably make out what I couldn’t.

The game piece read GOECACH.com. The information I couldn’t decipher was a code number, the code name of the person who had placed it there, and the date it was placed. If you look up the web address and type in your zip code, the site will popup several devices planted in this area. This particular apparatus was put in that location June 10, 2013, by Refuge Road and named Lest We Forget.The Civil War soldier

Buried in that little unobtrusive cemetery is a tombstone that reads Thos. Terrell. The GPS device, according to the web page, was placed and named in honor of Terrell. The following is an account on the GEOCACHE site explaining why the canister is at that particular site:

I have driven past this location for at least 20 years, and it was always just an overgrown fencerow. Last spring, the highway department cleared it to reveal several headstones. I was saddened and amazed to see that one was an official government issued marker. Thomas Terrell was born about 1830, in

Good job ...Dancers from the Anita Howle School of Dance recently competed in the Harvest Festival talent show in Wickliffe. The 3rd place winners in the junior division were Samantha Dowdy, Hannah Bush, Bryce O’Neill, and Hannah McManus dancing to “Puttin’ on the Ritz”. Second place went to “Cowboy Sweetheart” featuring Kate O’Neill and Harper Stivers. First Place winners were Zoie Overby and Lauren Mantle tapping to “PInk Shoe Laces”. “Red Red Robin”, a tap routine by Howlettes Breanna Jones, Katelyn Poloski, and Sydney Stivers, placed third in the senior division.

Tennessee, according to the census, and his parents were born in Virginia. I say about because there is no record of his birth, as Thomas was born a slave. Somehow, during the Civil War, Thomas left Ballard County Kentucky and travelled to Paducah to enlist and serve in the 8th U.S. C.H.A. (Colored Heavy Artillery), Company E. The following info is from the U.S. Soldiers and Sailors Site.

8th Regiment, United States Colored Heavy ArtilleryOverview:

Organized at Paducah, Ky., April 26, 1864. Attached to Paducah, Ky., District of Columbus, Ky., 16th Corps, Dept. of the Tennessee, to August, 1864. Paducah, Ky., District of Columbus, Ky., Dept. of the Ohio, to February, 1865, and Dept. of Kentucky to February, 1866.

Service:Garrison duty at

Paducah, Ky., till February, 1866. Operations against Forest in Kentucky March 16 to April 14, 1864. Action at Fort Anderson,Paducah, Ky., March 25, 1864. Expedition from Paducah, Ky., to Haddix Ferry July 26-27, 1864. Skirmish near Haddix Ferry August 27, 1864. Mustered out February 10, 1866.

Thomas is listed on the 1900 census, but does not appear in the 1910. His wife’s stone is broken and flat on the ground, and there is another stone there, as well. I am unsure if this is the original location of these stones, but it is where they are now. I placed the flag there last Memorial

Day out of respect for his service.

I have not check the accuracy of the account of Terrell but it can be confirmed if you desire. You can find more information on Terrell in Paducah or contact Betty Johnson with the Ballard County Cemetery Board.

I will make one correction to the information provided from the web site. Credit was given to the highway department for exposing the cemetery when in fact it was the BCCB.

Terrell’s wife’s headstone is next to his, it says she died at just 18 years of age.

Bombers 21-6 in the sec-ond quarter to lead 48-6 at halftime.

Following a score-less third quarter, Bal-lard Memorial outscored Caldwell County, 12-7, in the final period

Lady Bombers win three of five matches in Quad State Tournament

LA CENTER - The Ballard Memorial volley-ball team is ranked sec-ond in the latest Kentucky Volleyball Coaches Asso-ciation Region 1 Poll.

The Lady Bombers are listed behind top-ranked McCracken County, the

reigning 1st Region cham-pion. Ballard Memorial is ranked ahead of Murray (3), Marshall County (4), Graves County (T-5) and Christian Fellowship (T-5).

The Lady Bombers captured the 1st Region

All “A” Classic cham-pionship earlier in the month and remain a con-tender for the overall re-gional title.

Ballard Memorial, un-der the direction of vet-eran head coach Adam Solomon, carried a 21-10 overall record into this week.

Along with 15 other regional champions from around the state, Ballard Memorial competed in the All “A” Classic State Tournament in Louisville in September.

The Lady Bombers will compete in the 3rd District Tournament in mid-late October.

Justin Polovick runs a track hoe at the event, which attracted more than 1,400 people from throughout Western Kentucky.

There were 83 stu-dents from Ballard County Career and Technical Center among the 1,400 from all over Western Kentucky in at-tendance at the fourth annual Construction Ca-reer Day at Murray State University on Sept. 18. The event is hosted by Paducah’s Associated General Contractors/Western Kentucky Con-struction Association,

along with MSU’s De-partment of Industrial and Engineering Tech-nology; MSU’s Regional Outreach Council; West Kentucky Community and Technical College; the Paducah Area Con-struction Advancement Foundation; McKeel Equipment Co.; Pinna-cle Inc.; Jim Smith Con-tracting Co.; and over 40 additional vendors.

Students came from

25 school districts, from the river counties to as far away as Ohio and Muhlenberg counties. Organizers are trying to reach out to a very di-verse talent pool to fill an estimated 2 million new skilled jobs in the indus-try by 2017, from weld-ers, laborers, machinists and equipment operators to project managers and engineers.

The event is staffed

by construction pro-fessionals who answer questions and demon-strate many construction workforce tasks. Stu-dents even get hands-on time on some of the largest and newest tech-nology available in the industry, from backhoes and concrete finishers to computer-assisted weld-ing and other simula-tors.

Profiles in Nature By Jack Glisson

It seems a little early but I have noticed some ripe Muscadines, Vitis rotundifolia falling to the ground recently.

The muscadine is one of two common wild grapes in our area. The other is called a wild grape or possum grape and is much smaller and more tart tasting than the muscadine. When com-paring the two vines pos-sum grapes have a much larger leaf and the grapes grow in hanging bunches similar to store bought grapes but just smaller. Muscadines usually grow individual grapes or may-be have two to four indi-vidual fruits on the same stem. Some cultivars that are grown commercially have several grapes in a bunch but the wild ones I have seen here are of the variety that have one or two.

The grapes range in size from half to three quarter inches across and are a purple/black color when ripe. They are very thick skinned and have seeds but are very sweet and rival any store bought grape for flavor. The skin is tough though so is not usually eaten but instead the contents are squeezed out into your mouth. Vines grow to the tree tops so the ripe

grapes are usually found on the ground unless a vine can be located grow-ing in a fencerow or other such low support. My vine at home was in a tree that the 2009 ice storm broke over and brought the vines to the ground, these vines have grown back up the broken tree and formed a large shrub structure so the grapes are at eye level.

Used fresh, in jellies, jams, and wines the mus-cadine has been utilized since early European Set-tler days. Prior to that Na-tive Americans enjoyed the sweet treat. Not only are the grapes themselves eaten but young shoots and leaves may be boiled and eaten as well. The muscadine is not only good to eat but is good for one as well as it contains several beneficial antiox-idants and vitamins. So when out enjoying this cooler weather keep an eye peeled for the musca-dine grape.

As usual when describ-ing edible or medicinal properties I must add the following disclaimer, nei-ther the paper nor myself are responsible for the mis-identification and/or possible untoward effects from eating or otherwise utilizing wild plants

Senior Spotlight

By Anna Steinbeck “Beans, beans, good

for your heart…” Most people know how this song continues, but many may not know that senior Curtis Beasley lit-erally has the nickname “Beans.” Sadly, I could not get the story behind the funny nickname and may not need to know the story.

A funny and friendly fellow, Curtis is the son of Tabitha and Randy Beasley and the grand-son of Richard and Joyce Pearson. Curtis

has been in Skills USA for one year. When he is not assisting his grand-mother or in school, he is hunting, fishing, mud-

ding, and working on his Chevy.

Curtis believes that his greatest accomplish-ment in life so far is making it to senior year.

Curtis currently works at helping his grand-mother, but plans on be-coming a mechanic after attending college.

By Billie Loy A girl with no regrets,

senior DeDria Burgess is a force to be reckoned with. She does not take things too seriously and loves making people laugh, but cross her and she will give you her opinion.

The daughter of Dean-na Bass and Scott Burgess, DeDria is a member of FCCLA and HOSA.

After graduating, De-Dria says that she will miss the teachers the most,

especially Mrs. Wedge-wood. Outside of school,

she loves to hang out with her best friend, Kimmy Dennis, and her boy-friend.

DeDria plans on one day becoming a physical therapist.

By Hannah Morrow Senior Karley Wray is

not someone who can eas-ily be forgotten. Her viva-cious, honest personality has made her one of my closest friends since kin-dergarten. Karley is the daughter of Trevor Wray of Kevil and Trina Crisp of Symsonia. She currently lives in Kevil and is an active member of Newton Creek Baptist Church.

Highly involved in all areas of high school, Kar-ley’s commitment to school is immense. She has been a member of the soccer team for four years, as well

as FCA, FBLA (where she serves as treasurer), and HOSA (where she serves as president). Karley has also been in Beta for three years and Spanish Club for two years. Despite her busy club schedule, Karley has remained focused on her grades, earning a spot

on the honor roll all four years of high school.

Outside of school, Kar-ley enjoys drag racing; where she has earned mul-tiple awards such as Track Points Champion in Glea-son, Tenn. and she also won first place in the Hal-loween Haunting Race in West Frankfort, Ill. Karley hopes to be remembered as a nice, helpful person. She currently works at the Great American Cookie Company, but she aspires to attend medical school at the University of Kentucky and become a doctor.

Owensboro dealt Bal-lard Memorial its only loss on Saturday, taking a 25-23, 25-16 decision.

Ballard Memorial was hosting Mayfield on Monday night. The Bal-lard Memorial-Mayfield

volleyball match ended too late to make this edi-tion.

Ballard Memorial has additional regular-season volleyball matches re-maining versus Hickman County, Graves County, University Heights and Hickman County.
