49
00:04:26.759 --> 00:04:31.079
<v Speaker 1>Elkin Outdoor festh has become a popular tradition on the

50
00:04:31.160 --> 00:04:35.439
<v Speaker 1>second Saturday in May as we draw attendees for more

51
00:04:35.480 --> 00:04:41.360
<v Speaker 1>than a dozen states. Patrick Hayden, Kentucky gun Co Owner, said,

52
00:04:41.759 --> 00:04:44.680
<v Speaker 1>each year we continue to grow and with the move

53
00:04:44.800 --> 00:04:48.439
<v Speaker 1>to a larger venue, we're excited to offer more space,

54
00:04:48.800 --> 00:04:53.959
<v Speaker 1>more vendors, great entertainment, and an even better experience for

55
00:04:54.120 --> 00:05:04.720
<v Speaker 1>everyone who attends. Next, the County students host Agriscience Showcase. On Tuesday,

56
00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:09.519
<v Speaker 1>Nelson County School's Agriculture Program hosted the fifth annual agri

57
00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:14.399
<v Speaker 1>Science Fair Showcase. The showcase features students from both the

58
00:05:14.480 --> 00:05:18.600
<v Speaker 1>district's middle and high schools along with their research project.

59
00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:24.120
<v Speaker 1>Over the last five years, ncs Agriculture Program has brought

60
00:05:24.199 --> 00:05:29.759
<v Speaker 1>students and committee community members together for the annual Agrescience

61
00:05:29.800 --> 00:05:34.800
<v Speaker 1>Fair Showcase. Students from Thomas Nelson High School, Nelson County

62
00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:39.959
<v Speaker 1>High School, Bloomfield Middle School, and Old Kentucky Home Middle

63
00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:45.800
<v Speaker 1>School presented there months long research projects to community members.

64
00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:50.480
<v Speaker 1>Those individuals served as a judge for the students, grading

65
00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:57.199
<v Speaker 1>them on a rubery. Kendall Datisman, a sophomore at Thomas

66
00:05:57.240 --> 00:06:00.680
<v Speaker 1>Nelson High School, was one of the many students at

67
00:06:00.720 --> 00:06:06.199
<v Speaker 1>Samuel's Hall on Tuesday. Dadisman's experiment was testing different water

68
00:06:06.319 --> 00:06:11.639
<v Speaker 1>qualities on plants, specifically flowers. She said she wants to

69
00:06:11.720 --> 00:06:17.839
<v Speaker 1>explore how the quality of water would affect the growth

70
00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:22.519
<v Speaker 1>and appearance. As a sophomore, She's had previous experience doing

71
00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:27.040
<v Speaker 1>a project of this scale, and the fair itself, she said,

72
00:06:27.120 --> 00:06:29.920
<v Speaker 1>engaging with the community is one of the best things

73
00:06:30.000 --> 00:06:34.319
<v Speaker 1>they do at Thomas Nelson High School. Dadisman said it's

74
00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:37.279
<v Speaker 1>important for her to show her research and getting to

75
00:06:37.360 --> 00:06:41.079
<v Speaker 1>talk to community members makes it more fun. I love

76
00:06:41.160 --> 00:06:45.600
<v Speaker 1>seeing everybody work together because in Nelson County we're very

77
00:06:45.720 --> 00:06:50.920
<v Speaker 1>community centered, Dadisman said of her classmate's works. Being able

78
00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:54.319
<v Speaker 1>to work with everybody from the different schools just brings

79
00:06:54.360 --> 00:06:59.480
<v Speaker 1>together the community, nests that we have and expands the

80
00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:04.000
<v Speaker 1>people that we know and everything. Olivia Thompson, a freshman

81
00:07:04.040 --> 00:07:10.199
<v Speaker 1>at Thomas Nelson, was stationed next to Datisman. Thompson said

82
00:07:10.279 --> 00:07:14.279
<v Speaker 1>she was nervous about her presentation on Tuesday, but said

83
00:07:14.360 --> 00:07:17.959
<v Speaker 1>her work and the program is one of her favorite sayings.

84
00:07:19.399 --> 00:07:25.879
<v Speaker 1>Thompson's project was an investigation into organic food versus that

85
00:07:26.720 --> 00:07:31.560
<v Speaker 1>others that have been genetically modified. The freshman said the

86
00:07:31.639 --> 00:07:35.480
<v Speaker 1>agri Science Fair gives students from across the district the

87
00:07:35.600 --> 00:07:40.000
<v Speaker 1>opportunity to come together. Thompson said getting to see other

88
00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:44.360
<v Speaker 1>projects and asking questions was a great way to prepare

89
00:07:44.439 --> 00:07:50.480
<v Speaker 1>one another for the community members judging. Several middle school

90
00:07:50.519 --> 00:07:58.000
<v Speaker 1>students had their Agriscience Fair projects in Samuel Hall this week.

91
00:07:58.439 --> 00:08:01.600
<v Speaker 1>Both of the district's middle schoo schools were represented as

92
00:08:01.639 --> 00:08:05.560
<v Speaker 1>students spoke about their research project and the skills they

93
00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:13.680
<v Speaker 1>learned throughout the process. Colton McGirk and Caleb Hougston, eighth

94
00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:20.800
<v Speaker 1>graders from OKHMS, completed their Aggrescience fare project together. The

95
00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:27.680
<v Speaker 1>boys' research looked into the difference between healthy potato chips

96
00:08:27.800 --> 00:08:33.480
<v Speaker 1>and standard chips. Houston said they also studied preferences from

97
00:08:33.679 --> 00:08:38.039
<v Speaker 1>consumers on the topic. Honestly, I'm glad that I got

98
00:08:38.080 --> 00:08:44.000
<v Speaker 1>to do the experiment, he said. Also, I'm glad that

99
00:08:44.320 --> 00:08:47.120
<v Speaker 1>we have this, like, we have the skills now so

100
00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:49.919
<v Speaker 1>we can bring it with us throughout all our life.

101
00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:53.200
<v Speaker 1>Mkirk said it was a fun project to do for

102
00:08:53.279 --> 00:08:56.399
<v Speaker 1>them both. He added that over the long period of

103
00:08:56.440 --> 00:08:59.440
<v Speaker 1>time it took to conduct the project, he began to

104
00:08:59.559 --> 00:09:04.200
<v Speaker 1>enjoy the process and what they discovered. Bloomfield Middle School

105
00:09:04.960 --> 00:09:09.080
<v Speaker 1>eighth grader Ali Drury focused his aggre science project on

106
00:09:09.240 --> 00:09:15.200
<v Speaker 1>how electromatic waves can affect plant growth. Drury said his

107
00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:18.039
<v Speaker 1>project had a lot of trial and error before he

108
00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:22.960
<v Speaker 1>was able to conduct a successful experiment. One thing that

109
00:09:23.080 --> 00:09:26.519
<v Speaker 1>I had I messed up almost six times, Drury said,

110
00:09:28.159 --> 00:09:30.600
<v Speaker 1>but I got it on the sixth try. Thanks to

111
00:09:30.639 --> 00:09:34.240
<v Speaker 1>my dad. It was very difficult and very time consuming.

112
00:09:34.600 --> 00:09:37.519
<v Speaker 1>I barely have any time at home because of sports

113
00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:40.360
<v Speaker 1>and activities, so it was very hard to deal with

114
00:09:40.399 --> 00:09:42.919
<v Speaker 1>the little amount of time, but I got it done.

115
00:09:43.919 --> 00:09:47.039
<v Speaker 1>Drury said the work he was doing was important, as

116
00:09:47.200 --> 00:09:51.080
<v Speaker 1>learning more about the effects could help others grow more

117
00:09:51.120 --> 00:09:55.039
<v Speaker 1>effective gardens. He said he got a lot from the experience,

118
00:09:55.120 --> 00:09:59.440
<v Speaker 1>from learning how to conduct the research to gaining knowledge

119
00:09:59.720 --> 00:10:08.639
<v Speaker 1>on electricity. Next, Harneed Call seeking District three KNOB in

120
00:10:08.799 --> 00:10:15.279
<v Speaker 1>GOP primary. While David Call and incumbent Magistrate Mt. Harnet

121
00:10:15.320 --> 00:10:18.600
<v Speaker 1>both ran for the District three seat on Nelson County

122
00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:22.799
<v Speaker 1>Fiscal Court in the twenty twenty two primary election, they

123
00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:27.200
<v Speaker 1>did not directly face off. Harned won a crowded four

124
00:10:27.279 --> 00:10:31.120
<v Speaker 1>person race four years ago, advancing to the twenty twenty

125
00:10:31.159 --> 00:10:38.799
<v Speaker 1>two general election, where he defeated then defeated Democrat Avis

126
00:10:38.840 --> 00:10:42.440
<v Speaker 1>Avis had beaten Call in the Democratic primary that year,

127
00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:48.799
<v Speaker 1>but Kall has since switched his registration to GOP. Call

128
00:10:48.960 --> 00:10:52.279
<v Speaker 1>has come up short in a handful of past attempts

129
00:10:52.320 --> 00:10:58.200
<v Speaker 1>at winning the District three Fiscal Court seat. District three

130
00:10:58.360 --> 00:11:03.159
<v Speaker 1>covers western Nelson County, including the Boston area. The winner

131
00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:07.559
<v Speaker 1>between Call and Harnet will advance to November's general election

132
00:11:08.200 --> 00:11:12.919
<v Speaker 1>against Democrat Cameron Richards, who is unopposed in the primary.

133
00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:18.240
<v Speaker 1>Harnett is a grocer by trade and also has professional

134
00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:22.919
<v Speaker 1>pass as a financial advisor, and he touts that business

135
00:11:23.120 --> 00:11:27.200
<v Speaker 1>experience and money management as an asset for the Nelson

136
00:11:27.279 --> 00:11:32.799
<v Speaker 1>County has filed for the seat, so the winner of

137
00:11:33.440 --> 00:11:37.679
<v Speaker 1>the primary vote will be unopposed in the November election.

138
00:11:38.879 --> 00:11:42.240
<v Speaker 1>In twenty twenty two, Colter ran as a Democrat but

139
00:11:42.360 --> 00:11:45.200
<v Speaker 1>fell by more than five hundred and fifty votes as

140
00:11:45.240 --> 00:11:50.399
<v Speaker 1>Republicans swept all contested races against Democrat in the general

141
00:11:50.440 --> 00:11:55.919
<v Speaker 1>election that year, flipping Nelson County. Read this time around,

142
00:11:55.960 --> 00:12:01.279
<v Speaker 1>Colter has changed his registration to GOP, so the rematch

143
00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:04.759
<v Speaker 1>with Wheatley will happen in the spring instead of the fall.

144
00:12:05.480 --> 00:12:10.519
<v Speaker 1>Both candidates are active in public service outside the confines

145
00:12:10.720 --> 00:12:16.639
<v Speaker 1>of elected office. Wheatley, a farmer, is an eight year

146
00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:20.919
<v Speaker 1>veteran of the Kentucky Army National Guard and has played

147
00:12:20.919 --> 00:12:25.559
<v Speaker 1>a big role in the local agriculture community. In addition

148
00:12:25.679 --> 00:12:29.159
<v Speaker 1>to his business interests. Coulter has served as an EMT

149
00:12:29.559 --> 00:12:34.759
<v Speaker 1>and volunteer firefighter, as well as Deputy Coroner. Both men

150
00:12:34.759 --> 00:12:39.639
<v Speaker 1>engage in volunteer work through their respective churches. For Wheatley,

151
00:12:39.840 --> 00:12:43.320
<v Speaker 1>his approach to serving on Fistal Court is to do

152
00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:47.279
<v Speaker 1>what is right, regardless of who is for or against it.

153
00:12:48.120 --> 00:12:53.639
<v Speaker 1>Colter touts fairness, accountability and public service for residents of

154
00:12:53.759 --> 00:12:58.840
<v Speaker 1>District two and Nelson County as a whole. For both candidates,

155
00:12:58.879 --> 00:13:03.879
<v Speaker 1>Protecting farmers than farmland is a priority. Culture has staked

156
00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:08.840
<v Speaker 1>out a specific platform looking to prohibit large data centers

157
00:13:08.879 --> 00:13:14.759
<v Speaker 1>and solar farms on agricultural lands. He has also de

158
00:13:14.759 --> 00:13:19.320
<v Speaker 1>decried the low water pressure that residents of District two

159
00:13:19.799 --> 00:13:23.759
<v Speaker 1>have to contend with. Wheatley has long been an advocate

160
00:13:23.960 --> 00:13:32.360
<v Speaker 1>for educating the public about agriculture, regularly visiting local schools

161
00:13:32.399 --> 00:13:36.720
<v Speaker 1>to talk about the subject. District two is growing in population,

162
00:13:36.960 --> 00:13:42.240
<v Speaker 1>with new subdivisions built in recent years, and while the infrastructure,

163
00:13:42.480 --> 00:13:47.919
<v Speaker 1>specifically water pressure hasn't kept pace, the county and City

164
00:13:47.960 --> 00:13:57.639
<v Speaker 1>of Barstown are taking steps to improve the water supply

165
00:13:57.960 --> 00:14:02.639
<v Speaker 1>in East Bartstown area, much of which falls within district too.

166
00:14:03.360 --> 00:14:06.960
<v Speaker 1>Wheatley takes pride in his time on Fiscal Court and

167
00:14:07.080 --> 00:14:12.120
<v Speaker 1>wants to quote help create and raise a family. Wants

168
00:14:12.200 --> 00:14:15.279
<v Speaker 1>to create a better place to live, work and raise

169
00:14:15.279 --> 00:14:21.000
<v Speaker 1>a family. He cites fiscal responsibility and transparency, smart growth,

170
00:14:21.480 --> 00:14:28.399
<v Speaker 1>improving roads and infrastructure, and employment opportunities. I am reliable, available,

171
00:14:28.519 --> 00:14:33.159
<v Speaker 1>and responsive, Wheatley said, I deeply care about our community.

172
00:14:34.080 --> 00:14:38.720
<v Speaker 1>Coulter also preaches fiscal responsibility, and if elected, he hopes

173
00:14:38.759 --> 00:14:42.679
<v Speaker 1>to help Nelson County government run a balanced budget and

174
00:14:42.799 --> 00:14:47.440
<v Speaker 1>to avoid tax increases. Noting the effect it has on

175
00:14:47.559 --> 00:14:53.279
<v Speaker 1>residents when their property tax bill comes due, he said

176
00:14:53.360 --> 00:14:57.759
<v Speaker 1>he would like to see the Property Value Valuation Administration

177
00:14:58.000 --> 00:15:03.000
<v Speaker 1>Office move to yearly property assessments, Noting the sticker shop

178
00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:07.080
<v Speaker 1>many residents have faced on their tax bills in the

179
00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:11.519
<v Speaker 1>face of rising property values. He pledges to be available

180
00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:21.440
<v Speaker 1>and communicative to constituents. Next, Bethlehem Students selected for prestigious

181

192
00:16:21.679 --> 00:16:26.080
<v Speaker 1>for a Governor's School for Entrepreneurs. Paget said she was

193
00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:29.960
<v Speaker 1>anxious about getting into the program prior to getting her

194
00:16:30.039 --> 00:16:33.840
<v Speaker 1>letter in the mail. She said Hetchpis had opened his

195
00:16:34.000 --> 00:16:38.279
<v Speaker 1>letter earlier on the day. Earlier on in the day

196
00:16:38.440 --> 00:16:42.720
<v Speaker 1>confirming his acceptance. Both she and Arms said they rushed

197
00:16:42.720 --> 00:16:46.080
<v Speaker 1>home from track practice to each get their good news.

198
00:16:46.840 --> 00:16:50.320
<v Speaker 1>Height and Cecil found out about their selection in a

199
00:16:50.360 --> 00:16:55.440
<v Speaker 1>different way. Sizil said he didn't know when to expect

200
00:16:55.480 --> 00:17:00.799
<v Speaker 1>his letter on the GSE program, which is different. However,

201
00:17:01.039 --> 00:17:04.480
<v Speaker 1>when he did receive his acceptance notice, he celebrated with

202
00:17:04.519 --> 00:17:07.559
<v Speaker 1>his mom, who was at home at the time, before

203
00:17:07.599 --> 00:17:11.200
<v Speaker 1>calling the rest of the family and his friends. I

204
00:17:11.359 --> 00:17:14.200
<v Speaker 1>was on vacation with my friends when I found out,

205
00:17:14.319 --> 00:17:18.200
<v Speaker 1>Heitz said. I was just going to wait until exactly

206
00:17:18.279 --> 00:17:20.960
<v Speaker 1>that moment to check, and then my mom called me,

207
00:17:21.519 --> 00:17:24.279
<v Speaker 1>and my friend's mom told me to call her back.

208
00:17:24.799 --> 00:17:27.720
<v Speaker 1>I called her and we opened the email together, and

209
00:17:27.799 --> 00:17:31.000
<v Speaker 1>I was so excited. I told all my friends, I

210
00:17:31.039 --> 00:17:34.400
<v Speaker 1>got to call all my family. It was great, and

211
00:17:34.480 --> 00:17:37.960
<v Speaker 1>I'm so excited for the program. I've heard that it's

212
00:17:38.079 --> 00:17:41.839
<v Speaker 1>really a good experience and that everyone who goes loves it.

213
00:17:44.559 --> 00:17:47.880
<v Speaker 1>Cecil said he will spend three weeks of his summer

214
00:17:48.000 --> 00:17:51.440
<v Speaker 1>at University of Kentucky as he develops a business from

215
00:17:51.480 --> 00:17:55.160
<v Speaker 1>the ground up with his group mates. He said he's

216
00:17:55.200 --> 00:17:59.359
<v Speaker 1>always had an interest in being self employed. He currently

217
00:17:59.720 --> 00:18:06.160
<v Speaker 1>runs two successful businesses of junk hauling and building computers.

218
00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:11.319
<v Speaker 1>The GSP students will spend five weeks at either Center College,

219
00:18:11.880 --> 00:18:15.799
<v Speaker 1>Murray State, or Moorhead State, where they will dive into

220
00:18:15.880 --> 00:18:21.160
<v Speaker 1>a content area of their choosing. Paget said she was

221
00:18:21.240 --> 00:18:25.000
<v Speaker 1>inspired to apply for the program her print from her

222
00:18:25.079 --> 00:18:29.079
<v Speaker 1>family previously attending, but she's excited to get out of

223
00:18:29.119 --> 00:18:33.400
<v Speaker 1>her comfort zone and gain some new experiences. She said.

224
00:18:33.519 --> 00:18:39.960
<v Speaker 1>She selected agriculture, business, psychology, and historical analysis as her

225
00:18:40.079 --> 00:18:44.039
<v Speaker 1>areas of interest for the program. Arms said he is

226
00:18:44.160 --> 00:18:47.359
<v Speaker 1>ready to grow this summer, noting he is excited to

227
00:18:47.400 --> 00:18:51.759
<v Speaker 1>be around other students who want to learn during the experience.

228
00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:56.079
<v Speaker 1>He said there is so much potential to building knowledge

229
00:18:56.119 --> 00:19:03.880
<v Speaker 1>and developing friendships. Arms selected journalists and mass media, cultural anthropology,

230
00:19:04.079 --> 00:19:07.880
<v Speaker 1>and business and economics as his interest content areas for

231
00:19:08.000 --> 00:19:11.400
<v Speaker 1>the program. I was just trying to plan for my

232
00:19:11.559 --> 00:19:15.160
<v Speaker 1>future and if I want to get into successful colleges.

233
00:19:15.880 --> 00:19:20.920
<v Speaker 1>GSP is really good on a resume. Hedgepest said, it's

234
00:19:21.039 --> 00:19:26.240
<v Speaker 1>also good to surround yourself with like people, like successful people.

235
00:19:26.799 --> 00:19:29.200
<v Speaker 1>It'll be a good way to learn over summer with

236
00:19:29.319 --> 00:19:33.839
<v Speaker 1>people that are driven to succeed and want to put

237
00:19:33.880 --> 00:19:39.480
<v Speaker 1>in effort early. Hedge Pets selected political and legal, philosophy

238
00:19:39.720 --> 00:19:44.839
<v Speaker 1>and psychology as his potential areas of study. Hit said

239
