Speaker 1: We now turn to the Springfield Sun to bring you
0:03
news from in and around Washington County. Your reader today
0:07
is Amy Jones Timothy. We begin with the addition dated Wednesday,

0:25
FEMA projects to begin immediately by Jenna George. On Monday,
0:30
September eighth, the Fiscal Court gathered for their first meeting
0:33
of the month and discussed multiple topics such as advertising
0:37
for an emergency services generator, the bids for the FEMA projects,
0:41
and the upcoming events in the county like the ribbon
0:44
cutting for the new Emergency Services building.
0:47
Speaker 2: As the meeting started, the Court.
0:49
Speaker 1: Once again spoke on the FEMA projects and their bid results,
0:53
giving the companies Nasco, king Crete and Cooper Rose the
0:58
winning selections for their bids of road projects. Natko will
1:02
receive Glenn's Creek both Sites one and two and Settles Lane,
1:06
while King Creede was chosen for Logan Road and Royalty Ridge. Lastly,
1:12
Cooper Rose will work on Hayden Brothers Road. These three
1:15
companies will begin their work on the project as soon
1:18
as possible, while the hopeful timeline has been finishing the
1:22
roads before winter. Moving further along the agenda, the topic
1:27
was brought up of advertising for an emergency services generator.
1:31
The generator was initially accidentally overlooked in the budget for
1:34
the new Emergency Services buildings and its storm shelter. These
1:38
generators run about forty thousand dollars, but today's prices translate
1:43
to about seventy thousand dollars.
1:45
Speaker 2: With such a large.
1:46
Speaker 1: Amount of money called for, the Court has submitted a
1:48
grant application with the Lincoln Trail Health Department to help cover.

2:05
begin this new chapter. Officials are asking the community to
2:09
come out and join them for this momentous occasion while

3:10
September the twenty sixth. Appreciating our first Responders by Jean
3:16
Reid kleinb Wednesday, September seventeenth, twenty twenty five.
3:21
Speaker 2: Anyone over the age of twenty five can tell.
3:23
Speaker 1: You exactly where they were on September eleventh, two thousand
3:27
and one. Anyone over the age of twenty eight has
3:30
clear memories of that tragic day when our country was
3:33
attacked by terrorists.
3:35
Speaker 2: It is often said we must.
3:36
Speaker 1: Never forget the heroism and sacrifices of New York's first
3:40
responders that day, but we should also recognize that first
3:43
responders go toward danger every day, not always knowing what
3:47
they are running into or what the outcome will be.
3:51
Washington County experienced several acts of support and appreciation for
3:55
those dedicated individuals on Thursday, September eleventh, twenty twenty five,
4:00
twenty four years after the tragic events of.
4:02
Speaker 2: Nine to eleven.
4:04
Speaker 1: Many of the first responders serving Washington County are volunteers
4:08
and said they truly appreciated these acts of support, encouragement,
4:12
and appreciation for their efforts. The morning started with the
4:15
delivery of cakes by Cash Express with the Springfield Police Department,
4:20
Washington County Sheriff's Office, the nine to one one Dispatch Center.
4:24
Speaker 2: And Washington County EMS.
4:26
Speaker 1: Since the Cash Express in Springfield closed a few years ago,
4:30
a representative from the storn Herodsburg delivered the cakes to
4:34
the various locations. Having received assert first responders were then
4:38
treated to a free lunch at the Springfield, Washington County
4:41
fire stations. All first responders were invited to the fire
4:45
station for a lunch of ribbies grilled by the Washington
4:48
County Cattleman's Association, along with potatoes, baked beans, and a drink.
4:54
Speaker 2: Quote we wanted to give back to.
4:55
Speaker 1: The first responders, said Chris Brown. Brown and his wife,
4:59
doctor Julia Pa paid for the meal, and Brown was
5:02
on hand to serve meals to first responders.
5:04
Speaker 2: Quote.
5:05
Speaker 1: We wanted to say thank you for all they do,
5:07
he said. Quote no matter the time of day or
5:11
the weather, they come to County Judge Executive Tim Glad
5:15
who helped serve the meal. Quote when others are running
5:18
too safety, they are running toward the danger. We can't
5:21
take them for granted end of quote. Also serving the
5:25
food was Jeremy Harden. Quote A little appreciation goes a
5:29
long way. Harden said, you hear about the bad, but
5:32
not always the good.
5:33
Speaker 2: End of quote. Not only did Aria first responders and joy.
5:37
Speaker 1: A meal together, Facing danger together builds a sense of
5:41
brother and sisterhood and a camaraderie that leads to good
5:44
natured fun. I asked Springfield Fire Chief for Us Carricio
5:48
to take a minute and give me a comment. Once
5:50
he finished his lunch, he agreed that. Then Joe Carpenter,
5:54
commander of the rescue's Blood, entered the room. Corrico jokingly
5:58
asked Carter what he thought of the free launch.
6:00
Speaker 2: Quote.
6:01
Speaker 1: I'm tickled to death, responded Carpenter. There you go, James,
6:04
there's your quote, laughed Carrico said, the dismay of Carpenter,
6:08
who laughed off the joke and later shared.
6:10
Speaker 2: His thoughts of the day.
6:12
Speaker 1: Quote it's nice to know somebody appreciates what you're doing,
6:15
Carpenter said. Most of the time, they don't appreciate what
6:18
you do until they need you.
6:20
Speaker 2: End of quote.
6:21
Speaker 1: Mike Kelsey with EMS echoed Carpenter's sentiments. Quote it's nice
6:26
to be appreciated. End of quote, he said. Currico and
6:30
Washington County Fire Chief Mike Mullahan recalled the events of
6:34
September eleventh, two thousand and one. Quote nine to eleven
6:37
with tragic, said Mullahan, people still remember that day. It's
6:41
nice that citizens recognize us on the anniversary of such
6:44
an important day.
6:45
Speaker 2: End of quote. Quote it's just nice to feel appreciated.
6:49
End of quote. He added.
6:51
Speaker 1: Quote we do a lot of what we do A lot.
6:56
A lot of what we do is behind the scenes.
6:58
Carico said, nobody see that. They often don't recognize us
7:01
until they need us. It's good to be recognized on
7:04
a daylight today, end of quote, referring back to the
7:07
joke on Carpenter quote. We worked together and sometimes we
7:11
played together. End of quote, he said. Later in the evening,
7:15
the Republican Women's Club of Washington County held its monthly
7:18
meeting at the Washington County Public Library. Following the meeting,
7:22
the group met at the flagpole in the front of
7:24
a library for a prayer for the country and for
7:27
the family of Charlie Kirk, who was assassinated earlier in
7:32
the week. Abandoned house will be demolished after twenty four
7:37
years by Jean Reclined. September seventeenth, twenty twenty five, the
7:43
long abandoned house at Riley Court will finally.
7:46
Speaker 2: Be demolished and the lot cleared.
7:48
Speaker 1: In August of twenty twenty four, Elaine Riley approached the
7:51
Springfield City Council about the property that has been abandoned
7:54
since two thousand and one, when the owner passed away
7:57
for twenty four years. The house has sat, it has
8:00
not been maintained, and currently has no roof or flooring.
8:04
Riley told the council she believes the house to be
8:06
a health and safety issue for the community. She noted
8:09
the buzzards of living in the abandoned house, and other
8:12
animals have been seen entering and exiting the park property.
8:15
It's only going to get worse as the house continues
8:18
to deteriorate, Riley said. Springfield Mayor Chris Essex said the
8:23
city has been aware of the problem for several years,
8:26
even before he served as city councilman. He explained that
8:30
the issue was demolishing the house as who owns the property.
8:33
Speaker 2: After the death of the.
8:34
Speaker 1: Homeowner, the house did not pass to a family member,
8:37
the mortgage company took ownership.
8:40
Speaker 2: Quote. Each time we start the process to condemn and.
8:42
Speaker 1: Demolish the house, the mortgage company changes, Essex said, and
8:46
we have to start the process all over again. And
8:49
to quote quote, this is an embarrassment end of quote,
8:52
said Springfield City Council and Lance Smith about the city's
8:55
inability to address the abandoned house on Riley Court. The
9:00
attorney Lucy Culture and former city attorney Tim Ashe.
9:03
Speaker 2: Researched who the current owner is.
9:05
Speaker 1: And again started to process the process to condemn the property,
9:09
allowing the city to demolish the house.
9:11
Speaker 2: They finally have all.
9:12
Speaker 1: The proper paperwork from the courts to tear down the home.
9:16
Speaker 2: It was announced that the Springfield.
9:18
Speaker 1: City Council meeting on Tuesday, September ninth, that one did
9:21
have been received for the demolition work and the city
9:24
is seeking a second.
9:25
Speaker 2: It is estimated the cost to tear.
9:27
Speaker 1: Down the house and fill the area in is about
9:30
sixteen to sixteen thousand dollars, reported Mayor Esex. He said
9:34
the city would place a lean on the property to
9:37
recoup the cost of the demolition. There were several other
9:40
important items on the agenda for Tuesday's meeting, including second
9:43
reading and final passage of the property tax rates. Council
9:47
members gave final approval for the real estate property tax
9:50
rate of point one four one cents per one hundred dollars.
9:54
The rate for motor vehicles, watercraft and aircraft will be
9:57
zero point one four eight per one.
9:59
Speaker 2: Da hundred dollars. A request was made.
10:02
Speaker 1: By Warren Whittaker, a Cornerstone Christian Church, to borrow the
10:06
city stage for a concert and community event to be
10:08
held at the church of the last weekend of September.
10:12
Since the city runs the stage to the American Cancer
10:14
Society for the annual Freeway for Life event, Council members
10:18
voted to allow Cornerstone to use the stage for this event.
10:22
Speaker 2: Two bids were received for a bathroom project at Idle
10:25
Hour Park.
10:26
Speaker 1: After reviewing the bids, the council voted three to one
10:29
to avoid the contract to Halt Construction, LLC at a
10:33
cost of thirty three thousand, five hundred and sixty four
10:36
dollars and forty four cents. Council members Willie Ellerly and
10:40
Michael Hale were not independent at the meeting. The dissenting
10:44
vote was cast by Carolyn Harden, who said she preferred
10:47
to award the contract to M and Jane Construction Incorporated.
10:51
The Halt Construction bid did not include repairing the roadway
10:54
when work was complete. Council members said they believed the
10:57
city could repair the roadway itself for less than the
11:00
difference between the two bids. Council members will meet in
11:04
a call meeting to discuss a proposed Code Enforcement Board ordinance.
11:08
There has been much discussion on the topic over the
11:11
past several months, and the need for the ordinance was
11:13
highlighted at the August meeting when City Hall was packed
11:16
with the residents concerned about recent dog attacks in the city.
11:21
While on the topic of dogs in the city, police
11:23
chiefs Sue Mud reported her officers have responded to sixteen.
11:27
Speaker 2: Calls regarding dogs since.
11:29
Speaker 1: The last City Council meeting, when residents were asked to
11:33
report vicious or threatening dogs so there would be a
11:35
record that would allow the dog to be declared vicious
11:39
and steps could be taken to ensure the safety of residents.
11:43
Two new items were brought to the city council. First
11:47
was a proposal to lease Rotary Park at the Reservoir
11:50
to the Rotary Club. Graves will draw up the paperwork
11:53
for the lease as all council members present agreed to
11:56
the proposal. Councilman Liam Smith brought concerns with recent legislation
12:02
recovery housing to the council. He asked if there was
12:05
anything the council could do to make sure the housing
12:08
for recovering addicts is meeting the state regulation. Grace said
12:12
she would look at it and look it over and
12:15
report back to the Council as to what they can do.
12:18
The next meeting of the Springfield City Council will be Tuesday,
12:23
October the fourteenth. Saint Joseph Health welcomes Julia Richmond PAC
12:29

12:38

12:51
something with orthopedics and sports medicine.
12:53
Speaker 2: Richmond said, I.
12:55

13:07
I wanted to pursue.

Speaker 1: Her personal experiences as a patient help shape.
13:13

patient and provider.

13:44
Speaker 1: It is important that patients feel like they have a
13:47
voice and to stay in the type of care they

13:52
respect with the same goal of helping to improve the

17:43
citizens meals by Dennis George Paxton Media Groups Wednesday, September seventeenth,
17:49
twenty twenty five. More than eight hundred senior citizens who
17:53
have benefited from meals provided by SUNS from the Lincoln
17:56
Traill Area Development District could be forced to search for
18:00
food from alternative sources after a budget miscalculation caused state
18:04
dollars to run out well ahead of the end of
18:07
the biennial budget next June. According to a letter obtained
18:11
by The News Enterprise, grab and goo mills provided by
18:14
the Senior Citizens centers in the eighth counties served by
18:17
the Lincoln Trail will no longer be available Wednesdays. That
18:21
change went into effect September first.
18:24
Speaker 2: Quote. We will continue to.
18:26
Speaker 1: Monitor fund utilization closely and additional reductions are likely in
18:30
the future, wrote Sue Greenwell, director of Aging and Social
18:34
Services for ltadd quote, Participants will be limited to picking
18:40
up a maximum of two grab and go bills per
18:42
meals per visit. The second meal is assumed to be
18:45
for an individual for whom the participant is the primary caregiver.
18:49
The previous practice of picking up meals for friends and
18:52
neighbors will be discontinued and to quote Daniel London, executive
18:58
director of Lincoln Trail ADA, said Wednesday that more reductions
19:02
are likely sometime this year or next year as the
19:05
budget year comes to a close. Quote, we will be
19:09
starting to wait list now for meals and start rolling
19:12
back services with potentially a hard cutoff for meals next spreed.
19:15
Speaker 2: He said.
19:16
Speaker 1: We are actually in better shape than some of the others.
19:19
There are some that will have immediate impacts with substantial
19:23
weight list and hard cutoffs that will probably be coming
19:26
out in the public sphere in the next few weeks
19:29
end of quote, Lincoln Trail will lose approximately five hundred
19:34
thousand dollars as a result of the shortball. London said
19:38
the cut didn't have to happen had Victoria Aldrage, Commissioner
19:44
for the Department of Aging and Independent Living, and Eric Friedlander,
19:48
the former Secretary for the Cabinet for Health and Family Services,
19:52
gone along with the proposed needs set out by the
19:54
leaders of the state's area development districts prior to the
19:57
passage of the budget in twenty twenty four. Friedlander retired
20:02
last month. Quote, the General Assembly leadership and our legislators
20:06
across the state had agreed to fund us at fourteen
20:08
point five million dollars, London said. Commissioner Eldridge and Secretary
20:13
Friedlander communicated to the legislators that know that their data
20:17
was correct, even though it was a couple of years old,
20:19
that we only needed ten million dollars and that is
20:23
what we were funded, and to quote. Throughout the process,
20:28
the districts were assured that additional funding would be available
20:31
if there is a shortfall. Eldridge and Friedlander recommended that
20:35
the districts continue serving meals.
20:38
Speaker 2: Quote. We were just told this two weeks.
20:40
Speaker 1: Ago, London said, they told us that no senior who
20:43
qualifies for a meal will go without a meal. That's
20:45
what we have been told right up until this memo
20:47
dropped the speak. The memo reflects what we've been seeing
20:51
all along. The money is going to dry up unless
20:53
there's some magic wand that the cabinet has. Now we
20:56
have to make these decisions lickety split with no lead time,
21:00
impacting people's meals. And even if the state had allocated
21:05
the fourteen point five million dollars, there could have been
21:07
a shortfall but for the end of the fiscal year
21:09
for LTADD, which covers Breckinridge, Grayson, Harden, LaRue, Marion, Need,
21:16
Nelson and Washington counties. With the additional funding, London said,
21:20
the programs could have lasted longer, giving legislators more time
21:24
to address the problem. Instead, those indeed will have to
21:28
turn to Feeding America and other local food banks for
21:31
their food needs. With inflation at two point nine percent
21:35
in August, those organizations report stretching resources to meet a
21:39
growing need for their services, London said.
21:42
Speaker 2: Eldridge has publicly stated that federal law says.
21:45
Speaker 1: It is the responsibility of cities and counties for ensuring
21:48
that the senior population is fed, and those entities should
21:52
put up their own money to do so. Quote we
21:55
all know that as a technicality, London said, this has
