Angie Spencer, 71, of 6367 Kentontown Road, Mt. Olivet, died shortly after midnight after being struck in the chest by a large caliber bullet, which police sources say was fired from a heavy caliber handgun carried by Gary H. Barnett, 64, of Carlisle. “A witness at the scene was able to give a description of the suspect, who fired multiple shots into the victim’s residence,” A Kentucky State Police press release regarding the shooting states. “Through the investigation the suspect was identified as Gary H. Barnett, 64, of Carlisle.” The shooting occurred shortly after midnight, during the first minutes of Dec. 10 when Barnett allegedly drove to the home, where Spencer and a neighbor friend, David Gallenstein, were watching TV, according to officers on the scene. Barnett allegedly tried to gain entry and shouted and screamed at those in the house. Barnett then allegedly fired a shot in the back door trying to gain entry. Sources close to the investigation say Barnett then ran toward the front door of the home while Spencer and Gallenstein sought cover, a means to protect themselves and call 911. Barnett then allegedly fired several shots through a window of the front door. One of those fired rounds struck Spencer in the chest. KSP received a call of the shooting at approximately 37 minutes after midnight. Sources close to the investigation say Barnett was at the home looking for Spencer’s sister, with whom he had a previous relationship, but that relationship had ended in recent weeks. Mt. Olivet Chief of Police Four charged in area burglaries By Charles Mattox KYNewsGroup charles@kynewsgroup.com Nicholas County Sheriff Jeff Sidles has made four arrests in connection with a string of burglaries that occurred at the end of November and the first of December. John Farrow, 34, Brandon Kimes, 22, Chris McCarty, 26, all of Carlisle, and Samuel Jones, 35, of Flemingsburg, are charged with three counts each of burglary, 2nd degree and one count each of burglary, 3rd degree and tampering with physical evidence, according to Sheriff Sidles. Sidles reports that stolen property has been recovered from the burglaries; one burglary was from a home in the community of Saltwell, one barn on Johnson road was burglarized and two homes on Sugar Creek were burglarized. The four men remain lodged in the Bourbon County Regional Jail and are scheduled to be arraigned in Nicholas District Court on Dec. 14. John Farrow Brandon Kimes Jamie Stamper was the first officer to arrive on the scene. He was joined shortly afterward by Nicholas County EMS Dustin Mitchell, according to multiple police sources. Mitchell arrived in his own vehicle, as he lives close to the Spencer home. Nicholas County EMS Ambulance personnel also arrived minutes later. All attempts by Chief Stamper and Mitchell to revive Mrs. Spencer or find signs of life failed, and her life had ended in her own home, which was beautifully bedecked in Christmas decorations. “It was all just so very, very, sad,” Chief Stamper said in a strained voice. Stamper began to secure the crime scene when Robertson County Sheriff Randy Insko arrived. Insko had traveled from the other end of the county and farther than Stamper, to reach the home, Sheriff Sidles stresses the importance of neighbors working together to watch for suspicious activity and to call 911 if suspicious activity is witnessed. Sheriff Sidles also stresses the importance of all and had thus arrived minutes after Stamper. Insko described Spencer as, “a very sweet and kind lady,” and described the shooting as “a terrible, terrible tragedy.” The two lawmen worked together, gathering information, conducting interviews and protecting the integrity of the crime scene. Three KSP Trooper and three KSP Detectives also arrived quickSee Murder Page 13 trailers. The investigation has centered in Fleming County at Young’s Farm Machinery, located on Morehead Road, where more than one of the trailers was located, according to multiple law enforcement officials, who say staff members of the business have co-operated fully during the investigation. “We just recovered another trailer today,” Sheriff Sidles said Monday, adding that the trailer located was found in Clark County. Another trailer was located at a pawn shop in Mt. Sterling, according to law enforcement sources. The trailers have been stolen from Fleming, Nicholas, Mason, Bourbon and Robertson County, and the investigation continues and expands. Police say they do have suspects and the suspects though no arrests have been made in connection with the thefts as of late Monday afternoon. Anyone with any information related to the ongoing investigation is urged to contact law enforcement officials.

Barnett Area lawmen are joining forces as an investigation into a theft ring involving farm trailers expands.

Boil Water Advisory Sharpsburg Water District has issued a boil water advisory for customers in Nicholas County. Customers from the water tower on Whetstone Road back to the pump station on Scrubgrass Road will not be affected by this advisory. All other customers will need to bring water to a rolling boil for three (3) minutes. This advisory has been issued due to low chlorine residuals. The District is working to correct the problem. Will notify when lifted. By Brad Ballinger KYNewsGroup brad@kynewsgroup.com Almost every chair at the Neal Center was full as Kentucky Teleworks held a free event to highlight job opportunities in Carlisle and Nicholas County. The event highlighted a new and aggressive economic development strategy that is bringing sustainable-wage jobs that can be performed from home to eastern Kentuckians. Kentucky Teleworks is an initiative of the Eastern Kentucky Concentrated Employment Program, Inc. (EKCEP), a Hazard-based workforce development agency. “Work is no longer a place you go, it’s something you do,” said Joshua Ball, manager of the Kentucky Teleworks program. “This program is not about job creation, it is about creating opportunities for Kentuckians to work for progressive and innovative companies that are leading the charge to complete in the global marketplace.” Forum participants can learn about the thousands of telework job opportunities currently available in a variety of different fields, including: data entry, clerical, medical transcription and coding, IT support, computer programming, sales, tutoring and teaching, and a variety of types of management. Participants will also learn about the Distance Earning Initiative Skills Inventory, which Kentucky Teleworks will roll out in the coming months to aid in the large-scale creation of telework jobs across the region. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, more than 8 million people worked from home in 2005. American companies like IBM, Dell, American Express and Lockheed Martin have employees who telework. Companies around the globe are also seeing the vast benefits of telework. “Even during a time when jobs are scarce, IBM has over 2,000 telework opportunities available,” Ball added. “The telework strategy helps eliminate some of our state’s greatest barriers when it comes to job creation: geography and infrastructure.” Interested individuals will receive free resume and interview coaching. They can also sign up to receive twicea-week telework job postings emails from the program. “It’s critical that we do everything we can to link out talented workforce to the many telework jobs that are available,” Ball said. “We know that there are a lot of people looking for work, and a large number of talented workers here that are underemployed.” Studies suggest that employees who work from home are more productive and tend to miss work less. Telework also can produce massive benefits for the environment. According to the Telework Exchange, if whitecollar Americans would telework just one day a week, they would avoid driving 134 billion miles, eliminating 120 tons of pollutants from the air and saving nearly $162 billion.

We should all think about it. I think about Department of Defense statistics and I think about the 18 veterans of this great nation that take their own life each and every day. That’s right, dear reader, according to our own Department of Defense, 18 American veterans take their own life every single day; that’s 540 per month, and this sad statistic has been running on at this pace for several years. Those veterans aren’t counted as casualties of any war but indeed I believe they are. I love the soldiers but I hate the wars. I think every person has the right to defend themselves and every nation has a right to defend itself, but I do not think any person or any nation has the right to impose their will upon others. But I believe that is the reality of the world we live in. The rich rule the poor and the strong rule the weak. And the innocent children suffer. I am anti war, but I am a veteran and I consider myself a patriot. But I do not believe in blind patriotism. I think our country has committed mass war crimes in its history. We are constantly reminded of the atrocities of World War Two and the Jewish Holocaust that by some estimates destroyed six million European Jewish people. We are rarely reminded of the great American Holocaust in which tens of millions of indigenous Native American people were systematically slaughtered and Heaven Is A Lot Like Kentucky WHAT I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS By Charles Mattox “I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year. I will live in the Past, the Present, and the Future. The Spirits of all Three shall strive within me. I will not shut out the lessons that they teach.” From the Novella, ‘A Christmas Carol,’ by Charles Dickens, first published by Chapman & Hall on 17 December 1843. The Mercury 859-289-6425 DEC. 11, 2011 Kentucky News Group: Flemingsburg Office Most letters to Santa that I am aware of, are in a way, a prayer; a wish or desire for something that we do not yet have but want. I am a Christian and believe in Jesus Christ. I rarely attend church services; it is only one of my many failings in this good life. I pray in the woods, where I have always felt closest to God. I do not personally feel that other religions-other human beings-are inferior to me. The only thing I am superior or wise in is the fact that I know I am not superior nor wise. I am a student of history and therefore I am constantly engaged in historical research. I study the old verbal legends of the Shawnee and Cherokee and have researched the ancient Native American Walum Ulamthe birch bark recordings of the Leni Lennape of North America. I study the Bible: Old Testament and King James Version. I have studied the Koran. I have studied the Torah. I have examined the Mayan Popul Vuh- Book of the People. I have been studying the Dead Sea Scrolls for over 2 decades-mostly the archaeological significance of their discovery, but their translations as well. I have read the Book of Mormon. I believe Christmas is indeed the season to be jolly. If I were to have any one thing for Christmas it would be health and safety for all children. Not just my child, but every child of the world, regardless of their religions. We live in a world consumed with violence and war. Our nation appears to place more value on war against foreign nations rather than the healthcare and well-being of our own citizens, even our own veterans. I am very anti war. In our current war on terror, which I believe is a total ruse and waste, and might very well end up ‘doing more harm than good,’ I often hear that, “God is on our side” I am reminded of the words of Napoleon Bonaparte who said “God is on the side with the best artillery.” When a friend told me that in the war on terror, “God is on our side.” I could only give him a sheepish grin and say, “oh really, well tell me hero, who exactly would Jesus bomb?” He called me names.

Our national destructive technical capabilities far exceed our ability to show compassion, empathy, forgiveness and love. But there is very little money in compassion, empathy, forgiveness or love, these days. The big money is in death and destruction. There are billions to be made on weapons of mass destruction. Our country uses them every day-we use them on other countries that don’t even have them and yet we have used that as an excuse to bomb Iraq to oblivion. We say we are a Christian nation, but are we a Christian nation? Who would Jesus bomb? Our national political leaders appear to me to be nothing more than babbling corporate puppets. All I want for Christmas. All I ever want in this life is for our children to be healthy and safe. I hope that you and your loved ones are healthy and safe this Christmas, dear reader.

Let him pray, is any merry? Let him sing Psalms. (14) Is any sick among you? Let him call for the elders of the church: and let them pray over him, “anointing him with oil in the name of the lord (15) and the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. Now I want to pray a healing prayer for you. First of all, if you have never given your life to Jesus Christ, you need to be saved, Romans 10:9-10 says, if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved, for with the heart on believes to righteousness and with the mouth confession is made to salvation. Give Jesus lordship of your life. Repent of your sins and confess him as your lord and savior and as your healer. Then you can have confidence to believe god for your complete healing. (Prayer) O God, our father, your word says that you are a very present help in time of need. I come to you now on behalf of this person who is suffering with cancer, or some other serious disease. Father, I ask you; in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth to touch and heal them. Distance is no problem for you, God. As I pray, you are there with them, even as close as the very breath that they breathe, so, I am asking you to touch their body and heal them. Now, you foul disease called cancer, I speak to you. Go from this body in the name of Jesus! I command you, cancerous cells, to wither and die at the roots in the name of Je- sus! Devil, I bind your power in this person’s life and I permit healing to come to them now, in the name of Jesus! Father, I ask you to replace with new cells those that have been damaged by cancer or any other disease, God, you can do that, because what is impossible with man is possible with you. You are a God who cares, and we believe you will do it just because we have asked. You love us that much. Father, may strength and wholeness come into this person’s body this very day. Thank you lord for doing it. I thank you, Jesus that we will hear good reports from people who have been healed because they held fast to their confession of faith without wavering, because you are faithful who promised, thank you, father, in Jesus name Amen. 28 years ago Feb. 24, 1983 Chief District Judge Jack Arnold delivered his decision in the church-school truancy case last week ruling that a letter mailed to the Nicholas County Schools by Hilltop Wesleyan Academy in Paris, sufficiently complied with reporting requirements.

Conley, Master Commissioner, Nicholas Circuit Court Published in The Carlisle Mercury on December 14, 21 and 28 of 2011 The The Mercury Mercury Since Since 1867 1867 December 14, 2011 -9 December 14, 2011-9 Local News Law enforcement officers, agencies honored for impaired driving enforcement The Kentucky Office of Highway Safety (KOHS) today honored 201 law enforcement officers from 185 agencies across the Commonwealth for their efforts to target impaired drivers. The 2011 Governor’s Impaired Driving Enforcement Awards ceremony was held at the Embassy Suites hotel in Lexington. Awards were presented to officers with the most impaired driving arrests in each agency and division. “Impaired driving is not an accident — it’s an epidemic of careless disregard for human life,” said KOHS Director Bill Bell, who presented the awards at the ceremony. “These officers, their departments and agencies render a great service for public safety by removing drunken and drugged drivers from our roads.” In Kentucky, more than 5,800 impaired crashes resulted in 154 deaths and more than 3,200 injuries in 2010. “Public safety improves exponentially every time an impaired driver is removed from the roadway,” Justice and Public Safety Secretary J. Michael Brown said. “Were it not for the actions of these men and women, there would undoubtedly be more accidents, injuries or worse on our streets and highways.” According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), one out of every three Americans will be impacted by a drunken driving crash in their lifetime. “The decision to drive impaired is not only illegal, but reckless and irresponsible behavior,” said KSP Commissioner Rodney Brewer. “Law enforcement officers know that for every drunken driver that is removed from the road, it is potentially one less tragedy some family will have to face.” Stephen and Karen Sikra spoke about the effects of surviving a drunken driving crash and thanked the officers Nicholas County to receive $20,521.00 Nicholas County has been chosen to receive $20,521.00 to supplement emergency food and shelter programs in the county. The selection was made by a National Board that is chaired by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) and consists of representatives from The Salvation Army, American Red Cross, Jewish Federation of North America, Catholic Charities, USA, National Council of the Churches of Christ in the U.S.A. and United Way Worldwide. The Board was charged to distribute funds appropriated by Congress to help expand the capacity of food and shelter programs in high-need areas around the county. A Local Board made up of Community Action Council, Nicholas County Judge Executive, Nicholas County Senior Citizens, Nicholas County Ministerial Association, Department for Community Based Services, Shrine of Our Lady Guadalupe, Salvation Army and other Citizens will determine how the funds awarded to Nicholas County are to be distributed amount the emergency food and shelter programs run by local service organizations in the area. The Local Board is responsible for recommending agencies to receive these funds and any additional funds available under this phase of the program. Under the terms of the grant from the National Board, local agencies chosen to receive funds must: 1) be private voluntary nonprofits or units of government, 2) be eligible to receive Federal Funds, 3) have an accounting system, 4) practice nondiscrimination, 5) have demonstrated the capability to deliver emergency food and/ or shelter programs, and 6) if they are a private voluntary organization, they must have a voluntary board. Qualifying agencies are urged to apply. Nicholas County has distributed Emergency Food and Shelter funds previously with Community Action Council participating. These agencies were responsible for providing energy and housing assistance. Public or private voluntary agencies interested in applying for Emergency Food and Shelter Program funds must contact Angie Schalch for an application at (859) 289-7172. The deadline for applications is December 21, 2011. for preventing other families from dealing with same physical and mental trauma. “I never thought we’d be a statistic,” said Karen. “But we are using our experience as an opportunity to help save lives The schedule for the 2012 Eastern Kentucky Conference (EKC) Gridorama has been announced.

Popular resolutions Every year, right before the clock strikes 12 on December 31, people far and wide make resolutions for the new year. There are some common themes from year to year, with certain resolutions topping the lists. * Lose weight: Whether they’re inspired by goals of healthy living, the reality of stepping on a scale after holiday dining or simply because clothes have been a little snug, people often resolve to lose weight in the year ahead. * Quit smoking: Individuals are feeling increased pressure to give up the habit due to smoking bans in many buildings and public spaces. Plus, it’s one of the worst things a person can do for his or her health. * Get fit: In conjunction with Attention residents interested in Don Cameron Jr. Estate Farm for lease or sale please contact Mandi Cameron at 859-707-0655. losing weight, the overall quest for physical fitness drives up gym membership numbers every January. * Tame finances: The first credit card bill after the holiday season may be a wakeup call for those who have had difficulty balancing a budget. This is often a time when people make plans to get finances under control at the start of the new year. * Enjoy life more: Many peo- ple are taking personal happiness into their own hands. Perhaps thanks to a troublesome economy and other sources of sour news, it has become common in recent years for resolutions to be made concerning reducing stress and having more fun. This may involve everything from spending more time with family to taking time for leisure activities to simply enjoying more of the hobbies one finds fun.
