BROOKSVILLE | A cause-and-effect lesson was presented to students at Bracken County High School on Friday.
With its prom this weekend
and graduation parties looming, school officials are hoping to avert any injuries or tragedies as young people venture out to the events.
Making good decisions was stressed by BCHS Principal Mi-chael Hunter.
“The people around you are af-
fected by your decisions,” he said. “Somebody worries until you get home.”
As part of the BCHS Project Prom Promise, students wit-nessed a mock accident scene with fellow students playing victims.
As tarps over the two damaged vehicles were removed, students in the audience watched and listened as Bracken County 911 Dispatch radioed for emergency personnel to respond to the scene. The sound of sirens was almost immediate, as Bracken County
EMS, paramedics, Sheriff’s Dep-uty John Riley and Sheriff How-ard Niemeier, and Brooksville and Augusta firefighters responded to the scene.

MANCHESTER, Ohio | Manches-ter police are asking local residents to share any information they may have concerning a dog that was slashed repeatedly three weeks ago.
Brandy Horn, the pet’s owner, said her dog Ty-Ty is healing nicely, ac-cording to police reports. Ty-Ty is a mix breed weighing about 35 pounds and is a friendly family-oriented dog, according to Manchester Police Department reports. Horn lives with her family and the dog on Wilson
Street in Manchester, Ohio.“We’ve been working on the case
... there are three known suspects. It happened in the daytime about three weeks ago. He was slashed with some-thing really sharp, like a box cutter,” Police Chief Bruce Troutman said.
There is no apparent reason why the dog was attacked. The dog was chained up on his own property, Troutman said.
Horn told police there were at least three individuals in her yard, two she could identify, according to po-lice reports. Once she ran out of her home to confront the suspects, they
threw the dog at her, according to police reports.
Troutman said the dog’s side was sliced badly as well as his nose. It looked as if they tried to cut off his ear.
Officer Robert Pe-ters responded first at the scene and rushed the dog to Bailey Ani-mal Hospital in West Union, which probably saved the ani-mal’s life, officials said.
Anyone with information about this crime or any other in Manches-ter, may call the police department at 937-549-3330.

A Boise, Idaho-based company has filed with the federal govern-ment to study the feasibility of a hydropower project in Mason County.
Gridflex Energy, LLC, filing un-der the name Maysville Pumped Storage, LLC, filed an application for a preliminary permit with the Federal Energy Regulatory Com-mission on Dec. 16, 2011, to conduct the feasibility study, according to a legal notice published in The Ledger Independent on April 23.
On Friday, Matthew Shapiro with Gridflex confirmed the company has made application with FERC to conduct the study, for the purpose of large scale energy storage, which would then be sold to prospec-tive electric power companies that serve Kentucky, Ohio and Indiana.
Shapiro said the company has been in discussion with Carmeuse Lime and Stone, because the desired site is situated on Carmeuse property. Shapiro also noted a site study for hydropower project was conducted in the area 20 years ago and because Gridflex is a specialist in the devel-opment of stored energy, the study caught its interest.
The project would involve an up-per and lower reservoir, spaced at least 1,000 feet apart and with a steep descent between the two.

Maysville Community and Technical College held its 43rd commencement exercise Friday in Fields Auditorium on the campus in Maysville.
Dr. Ed Story, president, welcomed those gath-ered to honor graduates. The address was given by student representative Kelly N. Grenier.
Story presented the Distinguished Service to Education Award to Bruce and Gisela Carlson.
“Mr. and Mrs. Carlson are committed to cel-ebrating Maysville as a great place to live and work. They raised their family in Maysville and embrace the living experience in this commu-nity. The Carlsons allowed us to use Bishop’s Table as our culinary institute for four years. Even after the fire at the Cox building, the use time had to be extended two years, and they graciously allowed us to stay,” Story said.
The Distinguished Alumnus Award was pre-sented to Dr. Mike Glass.
“Dr. Glass graduated from MCTC then trans-ferred to UK. In 1976, he graduated with honors from the Ohio State University with a doctor of veterinary medicine.
