Massive
search for missing boy has positive
outcome
Temperatures
had dipped well below freezing last
Thursday when authorities were notified
that a 13 year old Strange Creek youth
was missing. Caleb Whitney had left
his home and had not returned. When
the alarm sounded, he had been missing
approximately one hour. Members of
the Frametown and Servia Fire Departments,
Sheriff’s Deputies and State Police
were the first to respond to the home
of Tim and Erica Whitney.
As the search got underway, it quickly
grew to include the EMS, DNR, fire
personnel from Flatwoods, Gassaway,
and Sutton as well as search and rescue
dogs from Nicholas County, the State
Police Search and Rescue helicopter
and a host of community volunteers.

Ballot
set for Primary Election
24
file for office
With the filing period closing last
Saturday at mid-night, and no applications
received by County Clerk John David
Jordan in Monday’s mail, it appears
that the ballots for the Primary Election
can be prepared. In all twenty four
individuals filed for office before
the deadline. Susan K. Lunceford,
long time Deputy County Clerk appears
to be unopposed for the office that
her boss did not seek reelection to.
The office drawing the most attention
is that of Circuit Clerk from which
J.W. Morris announced his retirement
in early January. Susan (Frame) Lemon
of Gassaway, a long time deputy decided
to try to follow in her boss’ foot
steps. Matthew Facemire, and Tammy
Collins both of Sutton, threw their
hats in the ring early in the filing
period. On the final day, former Sheriff
Howard Carpenter of Gassaway and Brett
Morrison of Sutton filed for election
to the office of Circuit Clerk.
