CYNTHIANA / HARRISON COUNTY

A Sadieville man was killed Friday in a two-vehicle crash near Corinth in Grant County, Kentucky State Police said in a news release.

Jeffery Adams (42) died at the scene; Adams was passenger in a 1998 Dodge Durango driven by Amy Lemons (38) of Sadieville. Lemons was reportedly traveling west on KY 330, when she lost control on the slick road, and crossed into the path of a 2003 Dodge 3500 driven by Rodney Milner (51), of Berry.

Lemons was taken to University of Kentucky Chandler Hospital, and listed in fair condition Friday; Milner was taken to St. Elizabeth Edgewood, where he was treated and released.

Investigators from the NTSB arrived in Lyon County yesterday to investigate a tragic plane crash that occurred Friday night. Marty Gutzler (48) and his wife Kimberly Gutzler (46) were returning to Illinois from a holiday with family in Key West with their daughters, Piper (9) and Sailor Gutzler (7) and their cousin Sierra Wilder (14), when some trouble arose. According to State Police, Gutzler declared an emergency to air traffic control and proceeded toward the nearest airport, Kentucky Dam State Park Airport. Weather reports of the time show that cloud cover was around 600ft, which would have made visual landing at the airport difficult. The twin engine Piper Seneca crashed less than ten miles from the airport; seven-year-old Sailor was the sole survivor. A website has been established to assist in the "emotional, physical, and educational support" of Sailor Gutzler at www.sailorgutzlerfund.com[3].

James Cecil Dickens

December 19, 1920 – January 2, 2015

[Photo circa 1971][/caption]The eldest cast member of the Grand Ole Opry[6], "Little Jimmy Dickens[7]", passed away on Friday at the age of 94. Dickens last appeared on the Opry on December 20th in a celebration of his birthday, the day prior. Dickens was hospitalized a few days later on December 25th for a stroke. The song-writer and performer joined the Opry in 1948 after being discovered by Roy Acuff. Dickens is perhaps best known for his small stature, rhinestone studded accouterments, and comical novelty songs--including his number-one hit, "May the Bird of Paradise Fly Up Your Nose[8]."

WEATHER

[IMG]

An arctic front will bring the coldest air of the season to the region beginning Wednesday. Temperatures will fall during the day, reaching the lower teens by late afternoon. Wednesday night will be the coldest--plan on lows around zero degrees. The combination of the very cold temperatures and brisk winds will create bitter wind chills Wednesday afternoon through Thursday morning as low as 5 to 10 below zero.

Now is the time to prepare for these cold conditions. Take precautions to keep water pipes from freezing. Make sure you have heat sources prepared. Make arrangements for outdoor animals. Check on friends and family--especially those who may have limited heat sources. Finally...dress properly for the cold and wear plenty of layers.
