Stolen car recovered in Pennsylvania

By Debbie Dennie, Editor

Keith Sturgill of Falmouth drove his 1986 Mercury Cougar to work on October 27 and noticed around mid-afternoon that the car was gone.

In the middle of the day, someone had gotten in the vehicle and drove off without anyone noticing.

The theft was reported to the Falmouth Police and Officer Mark Posey was assigned to the case.

Posey entered the stolen car in the LINK NCIC computer and Pennsylvania Police contacted him last week that they had found the car in Martinsburg.

Posey said the chief of Police in Martinsburg was trying to stop the vehicle for speeding. A short pursuit happened, then the driver stopped the vehicle and ran on foot. Officers were unable to find him.

Later that same day, police were trying to stop another vehicle for an equipment violation and yet another pursuit occurred with the suspect stopping the vehicle and running on foot again. This time though the subject was apprehended after police ran him down. It turned out to be the same subject, Frederick William Asper, of Pa. that had eluded police earlier in the day driving the stolen vehicle from Falmouth. He had stolen another vehicle. The people had not even had time to report the vehicle stolen when police caught him.

Asper had been living with his sister in Louisville and police don't know what possessed him to come to Falmouth.

Police records show that in 1979 Asper was sent to prison in Pa. for shooting a police officer there. The officer was shot five time in the chest. Fortunately, he was wearing a bullet proof vest. While they were attempting to apprehend Asper, he shot and killed a police dog. He had been released from prison in March of this year for those charges.

Asper is in custody in Pa. and has been charged with receiving stolen property. He will stand trial there in Martinsburg.

You never know what kind of criminals travel through our town in the daylight hours and at night when residents are sleeping. They are many just looking to steal or kill someone for what they have.

Police ask residents to take the keys out of their vehicles when they are not driving them and make sure you lock your vehicle. Don't make the theft easy for the thief. Be sure to lock up.

Pendleton Athletic Park streets get blacktopped

The Pendleton County Athletic Park now has its streets blacktopped. Mago Blacktopping worked last week putting the blacktop down. The dust from the road will now be gone. The city of Falmouth took over the streets and will maintain them. The entrance to the park by McDonald's is named McDonald's Way and when you get to the main intersection it's called Bowen Way. Falmouth Mayor Gene Flaugher stated that the city applied for a grant from the state. The city received $34,000 which blacktopped both streets. Mayor Flaugher took the 600 tons of asphalt that was milled off of Main and Shelby streets and put it down on the dirt beside the street where residents park for games. This has made that a much nicer place to park and you won't have to step out in mud. "What a wonderful athletic park we have. It not only benefits the hundreds of kids that play soccer, football, tennis, croquet, or baseball but many adults can and do go to the park to walk and exercise," said Larry Sutton. "This athletic park came to be by the perfect example of how when everyone works together to achieve something, it can be done," he stated. "The cooperation between the city of Falmouth, Pendleton Fiscal Court and the Pendleton County School Board has been wonderful." Many clubs, organizations and businesses have worked to help make it a success. The only things that are left to do now is blacktop the parking lots and install lights in those parking areas. "Local business stepped up to help with matching grants," Sutton added. "Our community should be very proud of everyone's involvement, donations, and being able to work together." There are many places that would love to have an athletic park like this one. The nature trail along the river is used often by those wanting to walk. The dream for an athletic park of this multitude was born after the devastating March 1, 1997 flood. Larry Sutton, along with a host of others, worked very hard to make this athletic park a dream come true. The community should be very thankful that we have such hard working people in our community. In the summer somewhere close to 1,000 people including children use the park at any given event. The park also brings added business to the area. Photo by Jackie Vaughn.

Fiscal Court discusses annexation petition

By Roger McKinney, Reporter

In the November 14th issue, (page 13) of the Falmouth Outlook, a legal notice was published by Kenton Fire Protection District 1 (one), proclaiming that organization's intent of annexing a certain area of Pendleton County. This geographic section, which involves over 100 Pendleton County Property owners, is currently served by the Butler Fire Department. If this annexation proposal is approved a fire protection and ambulance tax will be levied upon these Pendleton County property owners by Kenton Fire Protection District 1. In order to halt the annexation a petition must be signed by 51% or more of the involved property owners (free holders), who object to the proposed action. This petition must be filed in the Pendleton County Court Clerk's Office on or before November 28, 2006. Judge/Executive Henry Bertram explained to the court that fire protection districts by state law are allowed to annex additional service areas. Butler Fire Chief Randy Brossart plus Butler Firefighters Kevin Wiley and Don Willis were in attendance of the November 14 meeting of the fiscal court. This group of three stated their intent to prevent the annexation, which would pirate or commandeer a large portion of the Butler Fire Department's territory. Kevin Wiley stated that Kenton Fire Protection could not provide better service to the targeted area. Don Willis said the group would seek legal counsel and challenge the validity of the map that defined the area to be annexed. Randy Brossart said the annexation's purpose was not to serve the people, but to expand the Kenton Fire Protection District's financial base and to make additional money by taxing certain Pendleton County citizens. For information regarding the nature of a future fire district tax call Kenton Fire Chief, Jim Shoemaker at (859) 356-3434 or (513) 304-0290. For information pertaining to the signing of a petition to oppose the annexation call Butler Fire Chief Randy Brossart at 802-3730 or 472-6916.

Deer hunter's bullet goes through window of home

By Debbie Dennie, Editor

A hunter shooting at a deer on opening day of gun season caused a local resident to get the scare of his life.

Mr. Charlie Lemmon, who resides on Godman Road off of Highway 330, was sitting in a chair in his living room when he heard a peculiar sound.

"It sounded like a cannon went off," he said. "I jumped up out of my chair and ran outside. I yelled for whoever was shooting to quit. I told them a bullet had came through a window on my front porch and exited out another window."

"I was okay," Mr. Lemmon added. "But it could have been tragic. I have lived here since 1947 and nothing like this has ever happened before."

There is a huge woods across the road in front of his home and a hunter had shot at a deer and the bullet traveled a pretty good distance before it hit a window in the front of the house.

Woman collapses at Rooster's; defibulator saves her life

A Robertson County woman collapsed at Rooster's Night Club, just across the Pendleton line, in Bracken County on November 17.

Doris Cain, 64, had gone to Rooster's with a male friend and her son, Lon Cain. She had finished dancing to a song and started back off the dance floor when she fell to the floor. Friends thought she had slipped at first and then discovered she lay on the floor lifeless.

There happened to be some paramedics and a nurse in attendance at the club. The paper was told the medical people administered CPR until a neighbor rushed to the club with a defibulator she had. The medical people used the defibulator to bring Ms. Cain back. They worked on her for some 40-45 minutes.
