Speaker 1: Charges filed in Highway 15 accident. More details have surfaced
1:43
Speaker 1: in an accident that occurred on Highway 15 near Walmart
1:47
Speaker 1: where a moped was struck by a truck. The accident
1:50
Speaker 1: occurred Wednesday, May 27th at approximately 9.30 p.m. where police
1:55
Speaker 1: say that a truck had struck a scooter. During the investigation,
1:59
Speaker 1: it was found that Alan Shaw, Age 28 of Jackson
2:03
Speaker 1: was operating a scooter when he was struck from behind
2:06
Speaker 1: by a Chevy Silverado being operated by 19-year-old Brandon Turner
2:10
Speaker 1: of Jackson. Police say that Shaw was ejected from the
2:14
Speaker 1: moped upon impact and the scooter was carried another 1,300
2:18
Speaker 1: feet before the truck stopped. Turner told police he did
2:23
Speaker 1: not see the scooter. Police say that Turner was not
2:26
Speaker 1: under the influence and was not injured. The accident has
2:29
Speaker 1: sparked personal attacks against the driver of the truck, who
2:32
Speaker 1: was found by the Breathitt County Grand Jury that he
2:34
Speaker 1: did nothing wrong. After further investigation, it was discovered that
2:39
Speaker 1: state law requires that a moped scooter operator have a license.
2:42
Speaker 1: Shaw did not have a valid license and has been
2:45
Speaker 1: charged with not having a license. The criminal complaint filed
2:49
Speaker 1: by police states that on May 27, 2026, in Breathitt County, Kentucky,
2:54
Speaker 1: Charles Allen Shaw commended the offense of no operator's or
2:57
Speaker 1: moped license when he operated a moped upon a public
3:01
Speaker 1: highway in Breathitt County, Kentucky, without possessing a valid operator's
3:05
Speaker 1: or moped license, which was required in the state of
3:08
Speaker 1: Kentucky when he was involved in an injury accident on
3:11
Speaker 1: Walmart Hill in Jackson, Kentucky, in a 55-mile-an-hour zone. Shaw
3:17
Speaker 1: is scheduled to appear in court on September 14, 2026,
3:20
Speaker 1: in Breathitt Circuit Court for arraignment. Local songwriter signs with
3:25
Speaker 1: Columbia Records. A local songwriter has accepted an offer to
3:29
Speaker 1: have one of her songs purchased by Columbia Records. Natasha
3:34
Speaker 1: Henson wrote the lyrics to Long Time Letting Go after
3:37
Speaker 1: the death of her best friend, Christopher Fisher, who died
3:40
Speaker 1: on December 29, 2019. Two years following, she entered the
3:44
Speaker 1: lyrics into a competition hosted by Song Bay. Even though
3:48
Speaker 1: the song did not win in the competition, she did
3:51
Speaker 1: not stop there. In April of 2023, she was contacted
3:55
Speaker 1: by a legal representative associated with Columbia Records with an
3:59
Speaker 1: offer to purchase a standard license to use the lyrics
4:01
Speaker 1: to long-time letting go. Henson accepted the offer, believing she
4:06
Speaker 1: had reached the end of what had become an unexpected
4:08
Speaker 1: journey for a song that originally had been written as
4:11
Speaker 1: a personal tribute to her late friend. I thought that
4:14
Speaker 1: was the end of it, Henson said. Years later, however,
4:17
Speaker 1: another unexpected phone call changed the trajectory of the song
4:20
Speaker 1: once again. She was recently contacted by representatives from Columbia
4:25
Speaker 1: regarding an extended commercial license for the lyrics after the
4:28
Speaker 1: song had reportedly been picked up for consideration by country
4:32
Speaker 1: artist Coey Wetzel. The development has left Henson watching something
4:36
Speaker 1: that began as private grief potentially move towards a much
4:40
Speaker 1: larger audience. Following the release of the demo, she will
4:43
Speaker 1: have an opportunity to consider several potential arrangements concerning the
4:47
Speaker 1: future of the song, including a full copyright exchange, or
4:51
Speaker 1: a co-writing arrangement that could provide her with a percentage
4:54
Speaker 1: of mechanical performance and synchronization royalties associated with the finished recording,
4:59
Speaker 1: according to the contract. The advocate will continue to follow
5:02
Speaker 1: the progress of Henson's songwriting career as it develops even more.
5:08
Speaker 1: New trial date set for Howard A Breathitt County man,
5:12
Speaker 1: whose trial ended in a mistrial recently, has a new
5:14
Speaker 1: trial scheduled. French Howard, age 49, of Jackson, appeared in
5:19
Speaker 1: Breathitt Circuit Court recently for a bond reduction hearing and
5:22
Speaker 1: a pretrial conference. After the hearing, Howard's bond of $ 10, 000
5:26
Speaker 1: cash was ordered to remain the same. A final pretrial
5:30
Speaker 1: conference was set for September 25, 2026, at 10 a.m.,
5:34
Speaker 1: with a new jury trial being scheduled for October 12
5:37
Speaker 1: and 13, 2026, at 9 a.m. Howard is charged in
5:42
Speaker 1: a two-count indictment with rape and sexual abuse, both on
5:46
Speaker 1: a child under 12 years of age. According to an
5:49
Speaker 1: indictment issued by the Berthoud County Grand Jury, on February 4, 2025,
5:54
Speaker 1: the alleged rape and sexual abuse took place between September 26,
5:58
Speaker 1: 2019 and September 26, 2020. A mistrial was declared after
6:03
Speaker 1: the trial was over, since the jury could not come
6:06
Speaker 1: to a unanimous verdict in the cases. I will now
6:10

Speaker 1: August 26th edition of the Breath It Advocate. If you

Speaker 1: wish to hear an entire obituary read, please call us
7:01
Speaker 1: at 859-422-6390 and we would be happy to help. Next,
7:08
Speaker 1: we have our weekly game of Guess Who? I will
7:11
Speaker 1: read the prompt twice, once now and once at the
7:14
Speaker 1: end of this recording, before giving the answer. Stay tuned
7:17
Speaker 1: until the end to see if you got it right.
7:20
Speaker 1: Guess who? I am a singer born in Illinois on
7:24
Speaker 1: December 23, 1964. I worked as a security guard outside
7:29
Speaker 1: a hotel to raise money for my music. I am
7:32
Speaker 1: best known as the lead singer of a popular 90s
7:35
Speaker 1: alternative rock band. Who am I? So Be It by
7:40
Speaker 1: Pastor Naomi Joy or Happiness In the Bible, joy and
7:46
Speaker 1: happiness are both positive emotions, but they differ in their source, stability,
7:50
Speaker 1: and spiritual significance. Happiness is generally a fleeting, circumstance-based feeling.
7:57
Speaker 1: It arises from favorable external events such as good news, success, comfort,
8:01
Speaker 1: or pleasure, and can change quickly when those circumstances shift.
8:06
Speaker 1: Proverbs 15.13 says, A joyful heart makes a cheerful countenance,
8:11
Speaker 1: but sorrow of the heart crushes the spirit. This type
8:14
Speaker 1: of joy is tied to what happens in life, and
8:17
Speaker 1: can be displaced by hardship. Joy, in contrast, is a deep,
8:22
Speaker 1: enduring spiritual blessing, rooted in the character, promises, and presence
8:26
Speaker 1: of God, especially in Christ. It is not dependent on
8:30
Speaker 1: external conditions, but on the truth of God's faithfulness. As
8:37
Speaker 1: Scripture puts it, the joy of the Lord is your strength.
8:40
Speaker 1: Nehemiah 8.10 Joy is described as a fruit of the Spirit,
8:44
Speaker 1: Galatians 5.22, and is sustained by trust in God's sovereignty
8:49
Speaker 1: and goodness. Happiness comes from what happens. Joy comes from
8:53
Speaker 1: who God is and what he has done. Happiness is temporary.
8:57
Speaker 1: Joy is lasting even in trials, James 1.2-4. Happiness is
9:03
Speaker 1: often worldly. Joy is divine and rooted in faith. Job's
9:08
Speaker 1: joy remained despite losing all earthly possessions, Job 19, 25,
9:13
Speaker 1: and 26. Paul's joy was in Christ regardless of circumstances,
9:18
Speaker 1: Philippians 4, 4. While the Bible does not always make
9:22
Speaker 1: a sharp distinction between the two, many Christian teachers emphasize
9:25
Speaker 1: that joy is the deeper, more enduring form of gladness,
9:30
Speaker 1: while happiness is more superficial and conditional. Both are valuable,
9:34
Speaker 1: but joy is seen as the true Christian response. to
9:37
Speaker 1: God's love and promises. Hebrews 12.2 says, For the joy
9:42
Speaker 1: set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame,
9:45
Speaker 1: and sat down at the right hand of the throne
9:47
Speaker 1: of God. In short, happiness is a reaction to circumstances.
9:52
Speaker 1: Joy is a response to God. Christians are called to
9:55
Speaker 1: be joyful always, 1 Thessalonians 5.16, knowing that true joy
10:00
Speaker 1: cannot be shaken by life's ups and downs. Let's purse
10:05
Speaker 1: the Jesus kind of joy. Amen, so be it. Helping

10:18
Speaker 1: I hope this column this week finds everyone well. My
10:21
Speaker 1: heart goes out to the families that have experienced death
10:23
Speaker 1: and loss this week. Please know that you're in my prayers.
10:27
Speaker 1: Remember that God is faithful, and he will get you
10:30
Speaker 1: through this if you lean on him. He will be
10:32
Speaker 1: one day at a time, and sometimes it will be
10:35
Speaker 1: one moment at a time, but he is still faithful.
10:38
Speaker 1: Happy birthday to Daniel Brewer, to one of our very
10:41
Speaker 1: faithful volunteers. Wanted to give you all a heads up.
10:46
Speaker 1: and let you know that we definitely won't be getting
10:48
Speaker 1: a truck in August to distribute at the park, but
10:50
Speaker 1: once September comes, we're going to see if things have
10:52
Speaker 1: worked out so that we can possibly get one for September.
10:55
Speaker 1: You can keep in touch with me, and I will
10:57
Speaker 1: keep information available so that you can keep updated. Also,
11:02
Speaker 1: I don't know who is aware or not, because since
11:04
Speaker 1: we don't publicize everything we do, but we do supply
11:08
Speaker 1: meals for Haven House each month, and the reason I'm
11:10
Speaker 1: bringing this up right now is because we have drivers
11:13
Speaker 1: that deserve a shout-out. They are behind the scenes and
11:15
Speaker 1: people don't know what's going on, but they're very faithful
11:18
Speaker 1: to deliver when called upon. We have a small team,
11:21
Speaker 1: but they are very faithful. Thank you very much. Goes
11:25
Speaker 1: to Daniel, Larry, Ann, Lance, and Mr. Brewer. We haven't
11:30
Speaker 1: set a new date for the yard sale, but we
11:32
Speaker 1: will keep you posted when the time comes. It hasn't
11:35
Speaker 1: come together yet, but we're looking for more help. Also,

12:01
Speaker 1: Combs Bill Murray is the man. I love movies. I
12:07
Speaker 1: have certain actors I really like, but when it comes
12:09
Speaker 1: to actors, my heart will always belong to one man,
12:12
Speaker 1: Bill Murray. If I break down all his movies and
12:15
Speaker 1: why I love them, it would take up the rest
12:16
Speaker 1: of this entire paper. So instead, I'll list my four
12:19
Speaker 1: favorites in chronological order. Caddyshack, 1980. As Carl Speckler, a
12:26
Speaker 1: crazy groundskeeper hunting a gopher, Murray steals the show in
12:30
Speaker 1: a movie that includes Chevy Chase and Rodney Dangerfield. That
12:34
Speaker 1: alone should tell you how good he is in Caddyshack.
12:37
Speaker 1: Best line? A looper, you know, a caddy, a looper,
12:40
Speaker 1: a jock. So I will tell them I'm a pro jock.
12:43
Speaker 1: And who do you think they gave me? The Dalai
12:45
Speaker 1: Lama himself, twelfth son of the Lama. The flowing robes,
12:51
Speaker 1: the grace, bald, striking. Therefore, I'm on the first tee
12:54
Speaker 1: with him. I give him the driver. He hauls off
12:56
Speaker 1: and whacks one. Big hitter, the Lama. Long into a
12:59
Speaker 1: ten thousand foot crevasse, right at the base of the glacier.
13:02
Speaker 1: Do you know what the Lama says? Gunga galunga, gunga
13:06
Speaker 1: galunga lagunga. Therefore, we finish the eighteenth and he's going
13:09
Speaker 1: to stiff me. And I say, hey Lama, Hey, how
13:11
Speaker 1: about a little something, you know, for the effort, you know?
13:13
Speaker 1: And he says, Oh, there won't be any money, but
13:16
Speaker 1: when you die on your deathbed, you will receive total consciousness.
13:20
Speaker 1: So I got that going for me, which is nice. Ghostbusters, 1984.
13:27
Speaker 1: A childhood favorite of mine that I once had the
13:29
Speaker 1: pleasure of showing my daughter, Natalie. We drove 100 miles
13:32
Speaker 1: just to watch it at the theater at a one-day-only
13:35
Speaker 1: return to the big screen. It holds up so well,
13:38
Speaker 1: it may very well be better now than it was
13:41
Speaker 1: when i was 10 as dr peter venkman murray oozes
13:45
Speaker 1: cynicism and sleaziness outside of star wars ghostbusters is the
13:49
Speaker 1: movie i have watched the most in my life best
13:52
Speaker 1: line human sacrifice dogs and cats living together mass hysteria
13:58
Speaker 1: groundhog day 1993 the movie about a weatherman in a
14:02
Speaker 1: foul mood that relives the same day repeatedly that i
14:06
Speaker 1: can watch over and repeatedly Three of the films on
14:09
Speaker 1: this list are collaborations between Murray and Harold Ramis. It's
14:12
Speaker 1: too bad they never made a movie together after Groundhog Day.
14:15
Speaker 1: Best line? You want a prediction about the weather? You're
14:18
Speaker 1: asking the wrong Phil. I'll give you a winter prediction.
14:21
Speaker 1: It's going to be cold, it's going to be gray,
14:23
Speaker 1: and it's going to last you the rest of your life. Rushmore, 1998.
14:28
Speaker 1: Legend has it that after Murray read the script for Rushmore,
14:31
Speaker 1: he liked it so much he offered to do the
14:33
Speaker 1: film for free, and with good reason. As eccentric millionaire...
14:37
Speaker 1: Herman Bloom, Murray gives what is his finest cinematic performance.
14:41
Speaker 1: He should have won Best Supporting Actor that year, but
14:43
Speaker 1: wasn't even nominated. Best Line. You guys have it real easy.
14:48
Speaker 1: I never had it like this where I grew up.
14:50
Speaker 1: But I send my kids here because the fact is
14:52
Speaker 1: you go to one of the best schools in the country, Rushmore.
14:55
Speaker 1: Now for some of you, it doesn't matter. You were
14:57
Speaker 1: born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's
14:59
Speaker 1: my advice to the rest of you. Take dead aim
15:01
Speaker 1: on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and
15:04
Speaker 1: take them down. Just remember they can buy anything. but
15:07
Speaker 1: they can't buy a backbone. Don't let them forget it.
15:10
Speaker 1: Thank you. See you at the movies. Life on the
15:14
Speaker 1: Old Dirt Road by Bobby Thorpe Teen Years Growing up
15:19
Speaker 1: through my teen years in the 80s, I enjoyed music,
15:22
Speaker 1: riding around, and playing video games. Also, I enjoyed working
15:26
Speaker 1: my first paying jobs. During the 80s, we enjoyed listening
15:30
Speaker 1: to some good music by Prince, Michael Jackson, Steppenwolf, Rolling Stones, Meatloaf,
15:35
Speaker 1: and many other artists. Several friends, family members, and I
15:41
Speaker 1: loved cruising around town and stopping at Druthers or Hardee's
15:45
Speaker 1: to order a burger. Occasionally, we would get pulled over
15:47
Speaker 1: by George Lee, who was always stern but very professional
15:50
Speaker 1: about teenage boys being out in town after 10. George
15:54
Speaker 1: was a great contributor to our community. I can remember
15:57
Speaker 1: playing card games such as Rummy, Solitaire, Rook, and Uno.
16:01
Speaker 1: Atari 2600 came out during that time frame, and I
16:04
Speaker 1: was introduced to Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, and Pitfall. I also
16:08
Speaker 1: enjoyed playing the space games. During my junior year of
16:12
Speaker 1: high school, I worked my first paying job at Hardee's,
16:14
Speaker 1: followed by Little Caesar's Pizza. It was great earning a
16:17
Speaker 1: paycheck as a teenager. During the winter months, my friends
16:20
Speaker 1: and I would get out in the snow at night
16:22
Speaker 1: and find an old coal truck fire or car tire
16:25
Speaker 1: to build us a bonfire. These are great memories from
16:28
Speaker 1: life on the old dirt road. From the Counselor's Desk
16:33
Speaker 1: by Randy Cloth Choosing Love and Joy One Day at
16:37
Speaker 1: a Time In the Bible, Galatians chapter 5 presents the
16:41
Speaker 1: fruit of the Spirit. They are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
16:48
Speaker 1: and self-control. What would the world be like if each
16:52
Speaker 1: one exhibited more of these? Let's start by focusing on
16:55
Speaker 1: these traits, perhaps one each day or for a week. First,
16:59
Speaker 1: I would recommend asking the Holy Spirit for help to
17:02
Speaker 1: be more loving, for instance. Each one we meet, we think,
17:06
Speaker 1: how can I be more loving towards this person? Some
17:09
Speaker 1: people are honestly hard to love, but we should strive
17:12
Speaker 1: to be loving, kind, caring, expressed by our words, actions,
17:16
Speaker 1: and attitude. We need to strive to care for each
17:19
Speaker 1: other's burdens. Another biblical concept. We can use common sense
17:24
Speaker 1: and reason in this, and I'm not saying we should
17:26
Speaker 1: allow others to hurt or mistreat us, even though some
17:29
Speaker 1: of this goes with the territory. Next, we'll look at
17:32
Speaker 1: how to develop more joy in our lives. Focus on
17:36
Speaker 1: the good things in your world. Go ahead and think
17:39
Speaker 1: of three things to be thankful for. We would all
17:42
Speaker 1: do well to be more thankful and experience more gratitude.
17:46
Speaker 1: The other day I was feeling dizzy and slightly nauseous.
17:49
Speaker 1: I got alone by myself, poured out my heart to God,
17:52
Speaker 1: asking for help and healing. I was sure to pray
17:54
Speaker 1: for others too. Then I sang a couple of hymns,
17:57
Speaker 1: including Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee. This hymn was taken
18:01
Speaker 1: from one of Henry Van Dyck's poems in a book
18:03
Speaker 1: of his from 1911. Especially meaningful to me was the
18:07
Speaker 1: line that said, Melt the clouds of sin and sadness
18:10
Speaker 1: drive the dark of doubt away. Sometimes prayer and praise
18:14
Speaker 1: like this helps a lot. Immediately, and sometimes it's just
18:17
Speaker 1: a start towards feeling better or at least handling things better.
18:21
Speaker 1: We need to work hard to be more loving and joyful,
18:24
Speaker 1: even when it's hard. No matter what challenges you may
18:27
Speaker 1: be facing, keep hoping, praying, believing, and trusting. And never
18:32
Speaker 1: give up. Remember to take care of yourself. If you
18:36
Speaker 1: or someone you know is experiencing severe emotional distress or
18:39
Speaker 1: suicidal thoughts, professional help is available. Call the crisis line
18:44
Speaker 1: at 1-800-262-7491 or 988. Go to the emergency room or
18:50
