Works well with others.
Likes to play in mud.
That could be an advertisement for any ceramics class, especially the
one Ken Macht teaches. He wants his students to like each other, like
clay, and he wants them to like throwing pots.
Not at each other.
On the potters wheel, where the students work to bring life to clumps of clay.
“This is my ceramic swat team,” Macht said as looked at Dana Sorrell, Toby Fried and Pam Wiseman.
The ladies laugh. They laugh a lot. At anything. Macht said Sorrell
keeps them all laughing. But it doesn’t take much for the friendly
women to break into a belly laugh. They say it’s the pottery. |

The parade is to be held Saturday beginning at 9:45, lineup will be at
9 a.m. The parade route is from Twin Pin lanes to Peoples Bank Branch
at the corner of Water Street and Main Street.
Fleming Mason Energy has proudly sponsored the Cell Phones for Soldiers
program for approximately five years and collected over 200 cell
phones. A Drop Box will be located in front of Community Trust Bank
and at the Veterans’ Memorial at the Recreation Park during the parade
event only! You may also continue donating cell phones at Fleming
Mason Energy during their normal business hours.
It’s simple and FREE! Every phone donatd will help increase the amount of talk time we’re able to provide to the troops!
When donating your cell phone(s), please keep in mind:
Donated cell phones are sold to a company that recycles them. The money
FME receives from recycling cell phones is used to purchase calling
cards that are sent to troops in need. |

A long awaited grant has finally come through for the city of
Flemingsburg. With it comes the opportunity to build another recreation
spot in town.
The Trails Grant was approved by The Recreation Trails Program, which
is funded through the Federal Highway Administration and administered
by GOLD. The city will receive $43,524 from GOLD to build trails around
the old reservoir. The project began last year, but the grant was not
approved. Mayor Louie Flanery said during the regular monthly meeting
of the Flemingsburg City Council that the grant is a 50/50 match and
the city can use in-kind donations for its part.
The announcement was welcome news to close out a meeting than began with complaints about road signs and water bills.
Rob Cropper, a resident of Amanda Brook Drive, told council that he wanted the No Parking on the Street signs removed.
“I want to know the reason for the signs,” Cropper said. “It’s illegal.
If you put No Parking on Street signs on those streets, you have to put
them on all the streets in town.”
Flanery said signs were put up for cleaning the streets and removing
snow. The signs on Amanda Brook Drive were placed to deal with one
particular problem. Flanery said since that problem had been corrected;
the signs could come down if council agreed. |
