  Speaker 1: the evening Russell's tourism group had a phone party last
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: summer too, but this year Wolf wanted to add something
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: for teens. We wanted to create something specifically for teens,
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: she said, they get overlooked a lot of times. The
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: phone kept flowing with the night sky overhead glow in
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: the Dark style. Wander Russell handled out glowsticks, bracelets, and
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: light up beach balls as music played from the loud speakers.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Activities started around five pm and concluded at ten. This
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: part of all this typically people are done with vacations
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: as they get ready for school, so this is a
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: great way for the community to get together. Wolf said.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: It brings me joy to see so many people enjoying
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: being out in the community. The Riverfront Park is at
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: four thirteen Riverside Drive, where the Kentucky end of the
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: old Ironton Russell Bridge was once located. Wander Russell utilizes

• 3:19
  Speaker 1: When you factor in James Jim breaches incredible one two
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: hundred and forty six points scored and Tim Crumrie's eye
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: popping one thy seventeen tackles tally, it's little wonder one
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: of the top eras of Cincinnati Bengals football is when
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: they were on the roster. Throw in Crumrie's punishing total
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: of thirty four point five career sacks and breaches heroic
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: NFL record of nine for nine in overtime filled goals
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: without a miss, and that just puts the cherry on
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: top of the Sunday This past Sunday, Breach the Bengals
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: all time lead scorer within one thousand, one hundred and
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: fifty one points and Crummery, the two time pro bowler
• 4:07
  Speaker 1: and three times, all Big Ten selections stop by Russell
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Senior Center for a meet and greet with their fans.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: Former Bengals great offensive lineman Dave Lapham had to cancel
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: a few days earlier because of a radio broadcasting obligation.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Lapham is now celebrating his fortieth anniversary of being the
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Collar analyst on the Cincinnati Bengals radio network. He's also
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: a Big twelve football analyst for Spock's Fox Sports. Lapham
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: played his whole career with the Bengals before playing his
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: last two seasons in nineteen eighty four in nineteen eighty
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: five with Donald Trump's New Jersey Generals from the upstart USFL.
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: It began in nineteen eighty three and stole some of
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: the NFL's best players. Lapham, Breach, and Crumery were all
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: members of the Bengals' fiftieth Anniversary team in twenty seventeen.
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: Crumery was taken in the tenth round of the nineteen
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: eighty three draft and quickly became well known at training
• 5:15
  Speaker 1: camp by dominating Cincinnati's first round draft pick and two
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: time consensus All American center Dave Remington. Crumery played in
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: all sixteen rookie games and made fifty three tackles while
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: becoming a regular starter in his second season, Crumery became
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: known as the iron Man. Probably nothing exemplifies that more
• 5:39
  Speaker 1: than when he suffered a broken leg in Super Bowl
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: twenty three in nineteen eighty nine when trying to tackle
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: San Francisco's Roger Craig in the first quarter. Crummery initially
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: refused to leave for medical help and watched the game
• 5:55
  Speaker 1: in the locker room. He even declined strong painkillers so
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: he could remember the game better. I stayed and watched
• 6:03
  Speaker 1: the TV. I wanted to drink beer, but I couldn't
• 6:06
  Speaker 1: drink beer, Crumrie said. After being told that he could
• 6:10
  Speaker 1: go into shock, Crumery left. I stayed until the third
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: quarter and then I left, Crumery said. I started the
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: next season, added Crumery, who didn't miss the start of
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: the next season. Crumery became a bike enthusiast and credits
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: his wife for that. He said he now mainly rides
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: a stationary bike. He said he also enjoys riding his
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: Harley Davidson. The Bengals led in that back and forth
• 6:37
  Speaker 1: game in Miami thirteen to six at the end of
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: the third quarter. Crummery may have missed some of the
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: action after leaving, because with fourteen minutes and three seconds
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: left in the game, Joe Montana hit Jerry Rice for
• 6:51
  Speaker 1: a fourteen yard touchdown pass and Mike Koefer's pat tied
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: the game thirteen thirteen. Then with three ten left, Breach
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: nailed a forty yard field goal to give Cincinnati a
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: sixteen to thirteen advantage. With just thirty four seconds left,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: John Taylor pulled in a ten yard pass for Montana
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: and the forty nine ers beat the Bengals twenty sixteen.
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: Breech was a star out of Cal Berkeley, but had
• 7:21
  Speaker 1: a slow start in the NFL. After being selected by
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: Detroit in the eighth round of the nineteen seventy eight
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: NFL Draft, he was cut by the Lions, but in
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: nineteen seventy nine made up for the missed year with
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: the Oakland Raiders, going eighteen of twenty seven on field
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: goal attempts and scoring ninety five points. He spent the
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: next thirteen seasons making history in Cincinnati and playing in
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: two Super Bowls. Breach is a kicking coach at Lakoto
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: East High School in Westchester. About twenty miles north of Cincinnati.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: He was also the roommate of Bengals icon Chris Collingsworth
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: during both both of their first Super Bowls, and in
• 8:03
  Speaker 1: nineteen eighty two in Detroit when the Bengals battled San Francisco.
• 8:09
  Speaker 1: Someone mentioned to him an article several years ago in
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: the Daily Independent when he was mentioned by collingsworth uncle
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: and aunt from Ashlan, Tim and Wynette Collingsworth, who met
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: Breach in Detroit and attended both Super Bowls. Breach and
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: Chris Collinsworth played in He Chris was on the cover
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: of Sports Illustrated a few weeks before, and he was
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: very popular. We were getting phone call after phone call,
• 8:39
  Speaker 1: so I became his answering machine. It was kind of crazy.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Some girl was downstairs in a limo. Another one said
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: she was a Dallas Cowboy cheerleader. He was like, Oh,
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: this is nuts. We just stayed in the room. The
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: weather was terrible, Breach said. About his best Bengals memory,
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: Breach said, I think the freezer that's really the one
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: that put us in the Super Bowl. That game was
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: played in Cincinnati's Riverfront Stadium and is the coldest game
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: in NFL history in wind chill terms at negative fifty
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: nine degrees. Air temperature alone was minus nine. The Bengals
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: beat San Diego in the Historic Game twenty seven to seven.
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: Sunday was a great day to be a Bengals fan
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: in Russell since Peyton Iison for Myison's Cards and Collectibles
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: had two Bengals legends in town. Jim Breech is my
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: all time favorite player. It was a nice stroll down
• 9:38
  Speaker 1: memory lane. It took me back to high school and
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: when I used to watch him every Sunday, watch him kick.
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: Bringing the legends like this to Russell is just a
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: great opportunity, said Angela Henderson Bentley from South Shore. It
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: was really cool. I like meeting the Bengals players, said
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: Nathan Adams from Wheelersburg. Blake Collins and his brother Ryan
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Collins came all the way from Manchester, Ohio. It's my
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: dad's favorite player, Tim Crumbrie said Blake Collins, Ryan and
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: his Bengals jungle shirt said it's awesome to get to
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: see the legends from the past, to come down here
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: and get autographs. It was an awesome event. Meeting new
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: and old customers is always great. Tim Crumrie and Jim
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: Breach were very down to earth guys, Eisen said, love
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: seeing them interact and chat with everyone who came our
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: next article, Legislators legalized hunting bobcats at night by Liam
• 10:39
  Speaker 1: Niameyer from The Kentucky Lantern. Chad Hayes thinks Kentucky has
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: a decent bobcat population. Hayes, a district director for the
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: United Trappers of Kentucky, an organization representing fur trappers throughout
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: the state, said it's difficult to get solid information on
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: the elusive and animal. It's still growing, Hayes told The
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: Lantern in July. It's not in a position where it
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: needs to be over harvested or eradicated. It's still a
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: population undergrowth and development. Protecting that growing bobcat population is
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: a part of the reason why he has misgivings with
• 11:19
  Speaker 1: a state law passed by the GOP controlled state legislature
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: this year allowing for the first nighttime hunting of bobcats,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: including the use of nighttime goggles and thermal scopes. Hayes
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: wasn't the only one with concerns. Two state wildlife biologists
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: in some members of the Fish and Wildlife Commission expressed
• 11:42
  Speaker 1: their concerns at especially called meeting of the Commission in May.
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: Like Hayes, they were worried about expanding bobcat hunting without
• 11:52
  Speaker 1: enough knowledge about the current population. Despite those concerns, the
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: leader of the state's Wildlife Manager Department had the idea
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: on behalf of Commission members and the department to allow
• 12:06
  Speaker 1: for hunting bobcats at night, a spokesperson for Kentucky House
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: GOP leadership said in a statement to the Lantern, Rich Storm,
• 12:15
  Speaker 1: the commissioner of the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources,
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: worked with a powerful backer, Kentucky House Speaker Pro Tim
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: David Meade, to make it happen. In the final days
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: of this year's legislative session. Lisa Jackson, the department spokesperson,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: said members of the Fish and Wildlife Commission and Volunteer
• 12:36
  Speaker 1: board overseeing the department and the hunting public had requested
• 12:41
  Speaker 1: opportunities to hunt bobcats and beavers at night. Among years
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: of requests from hunters to broadly expand nighttime hunting, the
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: Kentucky legislature changed state law through Senate Bill thirty nine,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: to allow for the nocturnal hunting of bobcats and beavers.
• 13:00
  Speaker 1: That law also overrote efforts by the State Wildlife Management
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: Agency's board to regulate wake votes on local lakes and
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: gave the Kentucky Senate future control of who leads the agency.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Jackson said the Department had supported a different bill that
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: would have given the Department more flexibility to consider what
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: specific species to allow for nighttime hunting, but it failed
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: to pass the legislature. In her emailed statement, House GOP
• 13:32
  Speaker 1: spokeswoman Laura Gollans said the nighttime hunting language builds on
• 13:38
  Speaker 1: existing nighttime hunting provisions that have yielded positive results and
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: provides Wildlife Management officials with the flexibility to move forward
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: with the addition of bobcat hunting if they determine it
• 13:52
  Speaker 1: is beneficial, while preserving the legislature's authority to make any
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: future changes after careful, considerable public input and discussion. Is
• 14:03
  Speaker 1: not clear why Storm recommended allowing for nighttime bobcat hunting
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: when the department's own wildlife biologists had concerns with the proposal.
• 14:15
  Speaker 1: Jackson did not respond to Lantern questions asking why Storm
• 14:19
  Speaker 1: recommended the proposal despite those concerns, nor if wildlife biologists
• 14:24
  Speaker 1: were aware of Storm's work on the issue. During the session.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: Jackson also said Storm was unavailable for a phone interview
• 14:32
  Speaker 1: Thursday and Friday. At least one member of the Visial
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: Wildlife Commission, the volunteer board that oversees the department and
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: creates hunting regulations, suggested earlier this year that there would
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: be backlash from the legislature if they didn't approve nighttime
• 14:49
  Speaker 1: bobcat hunting. A wildlife biologist from another state said the
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: process raises many questions. Tim Hiller, the executive director of
• 15:00
  Speaker 1: the Wildlife Ecology Institute in Montana, said a lot of
• 15:04
  Speaker 1: folks would wonder what to know, what's the motivation behind
• 15:08
  Speaker 1: the very detailed changes proposed for a statute. He said,
• 15:12
  Speaker 1: if biologists had concerns about the nighttime hunting language and
• 15:17
  Speaker 1: its potential impacts to bob katz, along with the perception
• 15:21
  Speaker 1: of their being a legislative directive, then that seems like
• 15:25
  Speaker 1: the process probably isn't going the way it ideally would go. Hayes,
• 15:31
  Speaker 1: the Trapper, said he believed specific management decisions on wildlife
• 15:36
  Speaker 1: should be left to the experts within Kentucky Department of
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: Fish and Wildlife Resources and the Commission. We don't support
• 15:44
  Speaker 1: wildlife management by the legislature, Hayes told the Lantern. Still,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: the Department and Commission have created and approved proposed regulations
• 15:54
  Speaker 1: this summer, to be reviewed by state lawmakers in a
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: legislative committee on August eleventh. Moving on, Flatwood's man gets
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: three years on third degree rape charge. By Aaron Snyder
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: for The Daily Independent, the Greenop County Circuit Court sentenced
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: twenty two year old Flatwood's Man to three years on
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: a third degree rape charge. James W. Clapper was accused
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: of third degree rape during the summer of twenty twenty five.
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: He has been in the Greenop County Detention Center on
• 16:28
  Speaker 1: no bond since the arrest. Third degree rape occurs when
• 16:33
  Speaker 1: a defendant is at least twenty one and engages in
• 16:36
  Speaker 1: sexual intercourse with someone under sixteen. Clapper was also accused
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: of being involved in a malicious assault of a twenty
• 16:44
  Speaker 1: two year old near Ridder Park in Huntington in July
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty five. There has been no resolution in that case. Next,

  Speaker 1: that the district, along with the high school recently became
• 17:09
  Speaker 1: aware of a potential financial discrepancy within the cheerleading program.
• 17:15
