Fundraiser will help local family pay medical bills
PERRYVILLE, Ky. - Perryville residents are rallying together to support a local family.

Ed "Grizzly" Osborn, owner of Grizzly's BBQ food truck, recently was diagnosed with cancer. He and his family are in need of help with medical bills; so several friends and community members have organized a fundraiser and auction to help pay for the cost of his treatments.

The fundraising event will be Saturday, Nov. 23 at the Perryville Unit American Legion Auxiliary, located at 428 W. Second Street.

Doors open at 11 a.m. The auction begins at 1 p.m. Food and refreshments will be available for purchase, and all proceeds will support the Osborn family.

Grizzly is known around town for his pulled pork and brisket. On most days, you can find his food truck on the corner of U.S. 68 and U.S. 150, near Merchants Row.

Vicki Goode, executive director of Main Street Perryville, said Grizzly's food truck has been a great addition to Perryville. His barbecue is popular among locals and visitors.

"When Grizzly first started setting up and selling his barbecue, we noticed the number of customers quickly increased and they had nowhere to sit," Goode said. "Main Street Perryville joined forces with Grizzly to purchase picnic tables so customers could sit and enjoy their meals."

As his popularity grew, Grizzly bought a larger truck in order to serve an expanding customer base, she said.

"You can always count on Grizzly to fire up his custom-made grill to serve residents and visitors during festivals, events and fundraisers," Goode said.

The entire community appreciates Grizzly's contribution to Perryville, which is why residents are passionate about giving back to his family, she said.

John Key, owner of Keys Nursery, has been a longtime friend of Grizzly and said he doesn't know anyone more caring.

Key said Grizzly became involved in the Lions Club and other Perryville community organizations soon after moving from Maryland about 20 years ago.

"He has become a permanent fixture in our little town," Key said.

Lisa Bottom, vice-president at Farmer's National Bank and Main Street Perryville board member, said it is important for residents to support the Osborn family.

"Grizzly has always been one of the first to volunteer to cook and help out when we have done fundraisers for other families," Bottom said. "We want to be able to return the favor to him and his family as they go through a very trying time."

Donations are still being accepted for Saturday's auction. To donate, contact Bottom at (859) 583-9405 or email lisa.bottom@fnbky.com.

Don't let Christ be your Rock Tumbler
Several years ago my wife and daughters got me a Rock Tumbler for my birthday. It was a sincere gift that was just a little bit of a joke because I had wanted one since I was kid and talked about it from time to time about how I wanted it. I was so excited when I received and was very touched. However, I was very busy then and didn't get a chance to open up and set up. Time passed and I said I would eventually get out and set up. Today I found and just as I had left, it was unopened. Christ gives us the great gift of Forgiveness and Salvation. But, it is up to us to open, accept, and utilize that Salvation. Don't wait till the gift gathers dust.

Welcome to the Constitution

During the Government Shutdown, I have been somewhat silent except with friends and family. I tend to stay away from much of the noise that politics has become even though I count myself among those in the Tea Party. However, I find myself compelled to speak briefly on this issue even though this is at the Federal level and I am but a humble servant of the people at the State level.

Whether you are Liberal, Conservative, or Moderate, believe the House Members (and I do mean House not just Republicans) are Terrorist or the Senate has lost their mind, whether the President is kind, caring, and considerate, or Satin himself, there is one thing we should stop to consider and that is our history and more specifically our Constitution. You see our Founders in their infinite wisdom knew there were going to be times we don’t get along (or is that sing a song?) They also know the old saying that power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. That is why they set in place a set of checks and balances. Power is shared by three branches of the government, The Executive, The Legislative, and The Judicial. During our short history as a nation, each branch has tried to seize more power than was delegated to it by the Constitution. Our Founders knew this would happen. Many have forgotten, but the check given to Congress and more specifically the House is the power of the purse string. I say the House because Appropriation bills are to start in the House. So whether you agree with what the House is doing or you do not, that power was given specifically to be a necessary check.
Over the last several weeks my wife and I have been retaking the Dave Ramsey course FPU again and we paid for our daughter to take. In the course for personal finance he talks about first taking care of the four walls. He sets those as Food, Shelter, Utilities, and transportation. The controversy over the Government Shutdown will eventually end, but our real problem is just beginning. Although I know governments are a bit different than people, much of the same math applies. If you continue to spend more than you have coming in you either have to borrow or print money. Both options put you into bondage either to another country or to inflation.
As a country, we will soon have to choose our 4 walls, focus on those, and with what is left push to lower and hopefully in some lifetime pay off the debt and unfunded obligations. This will not be fun, but sometime, if not now, we will have to speak to ourselves as Dave speaks to creditors who he can’t pay at the moment. "Give me more.” "No” "Raise the Debt Limit or the world will blow up.” "So” "Raise the Debt Limit or you will lose your next election!” "So”
Don’t misunderstand me. I don’t want the market to crash, people to go hungry, or throw my mother off the cliff. But if we do not grow up, if we give into fear, and fail to address the problems soon, we will have done that anyway all the while claiming that we have built the unsinkable ship. Arrogance is short lived when it hits an inanimate iceberg.
Pray for our country. Love the Lord and love one another.

PRESS RELEASE-Rep. Mike Harmon again pre-files bill that would change the election slate on gubernatorial races in Kentucky

Subject: PRESS RELEASE-Rep. Mike Harmon again pre-files bill that would change the election slate on gubernatorial races in Kentucky



KENTUCKY HOUSE REPUBLICAN CAUCUS


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Rep. Mike Harmon again pre-files bill that would change the election slate on gubernatorial races in Kentucky Proposal filed for 2014 session would push back selection of running mate until after primary election
FRANKFORT, Ky. (October 3, 2013) –Representative Mike Harmon, R-Danville (54th District) announced today he has again filed legislation that would move the requirement of gubernatorial candidates to select a running mate until after the May primary election. Harmon filed BR 127 for the 2013 session, and previously filed the bill in the 2012 session as House Bill 109.
"My bill would simply adopt the same system we use for presidential elections, which allows parties to select the best candidates for Vice President after the primary elections by allowing gubernatorial candidates to select running mates after securing their party’s nomination,” said Rep. Harmon. "It is my belief this legislation is bipartisan in nature, and I’m hopeful it will gain support and consideration in the upcoming 60-day session.”
The winning gubernatorial candidate for their respective political party would be required to name their running mate and file paperwork with the Secretary of State’s office by 4 p.m. on the fourth Tuesday following Kentucky’s primary election in preparation for the November general election. If the gubernatorial candidate fails to select a running mate by the deadline, the governing body of the candidate’s respective party would then select someone to be their nominee for Lt. Governor and notify the Secretary of State’s office within one week after a vacancy has been declared.
It would also allow a gubernatorial candidate the ability to select a replacement candidate for Lt. Governor on their slate if the original candidate dies, is declared ineligible for the office, or has a severe disabling condition.
