Heartland Publications included in merger to form new community news company
PHILADELPHIA, Pa. — Heartland Publications, the parent company of The Hazard Herald and several more community newspapers in Eastern Kentucky, was recently part of a merger that formed a new community news media company called Civitas Media, LLC. Versa Capital Management, LLC, a private equity investment firm, announced the creation of the new company on Tuesday. Civitas, Latin for “community” or “citizen,” combines four media entities owned by Versa: Freedom Central, Heartland Publications, Impressions Media and Ohio Community Media. “We have assembled an excellent group of community news publishers over the past 15 months and combining them together under the Civitas umbrella is a logical and value-enhancing result,” stated Versa’s CEO Gregory L. Segall. “Community-based media has remained profitable and largely avoided the level of financial pressure experienced by large daily metros in recent years. They are the principal source of information and news content as well as the primary advertising vehicles for their communities, whether in print or online, and we see a more stable and resilient future for this sector.” Civitas, which now employs 1,650 people at 99 locations across 12 states in the Midwest, Mid-Atlantic and South, serves its communities through its dedication to the delivery of local information, including news and advertising solutions, across a variety of platforms. These communities are served by 35 local daily newspapers including 28 with weekend editions as well as 63 weekly products. These papers have a combined average weekly circulation of 1.6 million. Civitas also serves these communities with numerous free, advertisement supported publications and a growing on-line presence. In addition, Civitas publishes specialty products such as local community directories, wine magazines, regional agricultural publications, realty publications, local entertainment guides and on-line magazines and SEO solutions. The merged organization is led by CEO Michael Bush, formerly the CEO of group member Heartland Publications, and COO Scott Champion, formerly the CEO of group member Ohio Community Media. The capitalization and working capital requirements of the business are supported by a new $62.5 million multi-bank senior term loan and revolving credit facility led by RBS Citizens, N.A. Bush commented, “I am very excited to be working with Versa Capital, which has assembled a valuable collection of community media assets and has a reputation for supporting its companies both financially and operationally. Civitas has a promising future as a media company, and is well positioned to further benefit from the eventual recovery of U.S. economic activity.” Bush further noted “there are many opportunities for serving the local communities as we realize synergies from our combined strength. At Heartland we successfully implemented similar programs, and I look forward to working with the entire Civitas organization to explore best-in-class practices that can be utilized across many platforms. We have many excellent editorial and advertising professionals with valuable, local community ties. Our emphasis will always be on the communities we serve.” Segall concluded, “While operational improvements are anticipated in the near-term, we plan to leave day-to-day control of editorial content in the hands of the people who know the local markets best.” “We’re very excited about this announcement,” said Hazard Herald Editor Cris Ritchie. “For our product in Hazard both in print and online, we think this new investment and the resulting company will only serve to improve our award-winning editorial content, as well as maximize value for our advertisers.” Civitas Media is a publisher of community newspapers in 12 Midwestern, Mid-Atlantic, and Southern states. The company includes the following media groups: Freedom Central, four daily newspapers in Illinois, Ohio and Missouri; Heartland Publications, 17 daily and 29 weekly papers across Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, Ohio, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia; Ohio Community Media, with 13 daily and 30 weekly publications across the state of Ohio; and Impressions Media, which operates the Wilkes Barre Times Leader and other local publications in the northeastern Pennsylvania area. The company employs approximately 1,650 people. Philadelphia-based Versa Capital Management, LLC is a private equity investment firm with $1.2 billion of assets under management that is focused on control investments in special situations involving middle market companies where value and performance growth can be achieved through enhanced operational and financial management.

I have never heard such b.s in my life That little girl has to live for the rest of her life with the nightmars of the things this pedophile done to her: so in my opinion 20 years is not nearly enough. As far as testimony to the fact that the hymen was in tact and all this other bull the Honarable Bill Engle would never follow through on a trial of a person with evidence showing his innocence because he could be disbarred Mr Engle is strict and by the book if he held a trial and a unanimous verdict was rendered you can bet money it will not be over turned. He has never had a case over turned or ever lost an appeal. Stop crying over the fact your brother is a child molester and rapist and deal with it. The man is a worthless piece of garbage and deserves to spend the rest of his life behind bars! And hopefully when you get your criminal justice degree in 20 years because it will take an inbreed dumba;; like yourself that long, maybe then you can start busting all those drug dealers in scuddy starting with your brother and your mom and maybe then your boyfriend. The case is over and your brother will be tortured when he makes it to prison and im sure by the time he gets out in 17 years his hymen definetly will not be intact.
LTH Youth Players dedicate time to summer play

Director Terry Thies has announced the cast for the upcoming production of “The Fourth Princess” by Geoff Bamber.

The play, a presentation of Little Theatre of Hazard, will be performed during Summer in the Park, a celebration of the Arts and Bobby Davis Park, on Saturday, June 22 at 7 p.m. Thies also announced that Letha Patterson will be the music director for the play.

This year the group will add more musical numbers to their show and that is only being made possible by Patterson having time to work with LTH this summer. Everyone in the production is very happy to have Patterson on board and are adjusting well to the additional song and dance numbers. Patterson is also running the sound effects for the show.

“The Fourth Princess” brings together actors from age 4 to age 18 to tell the story of a broke kingdom (from paying off the dowries of threeprincesses), their valiant king just home from the Crusades to discover his treasury is no more. His ever faithful Prime Minister Batac concocts an impossible task to bring the country back to greatness.

The cast of the “The Fourth Princess” includes by alphabet: Emile Adams, Dana Bush, Jonathan Counts, Mary Daniels, Alexa Davidson, Ava Dixon, Libby Doll, Mandy Engle, Connor Francis, Raegan Francis, Caitlyn Fugate, Ramsey Hall, Kelsy Howard, Madison Howard, Halle Jo Kilburn, Seth Lewis, Trey Lewis, Madison Miller, Elly Morris, Haley Patterson, Henry Sepulveda, Skyanne Slone, Brock Torres, Sarah Torres, and Lily Williams-Lucero.

The Teen Players will also present a short play, “Among Friends and Clutter” by Lindsey Price. Seth Lewis, one of our originals, is directing with assistants Connor Francis, Rebecca States and Tori Howard. The play is a series of vignettes around the lives of seven people who were in the same First Grade class. The Players in this production are: Alexa Davidson, Connor Francis, Caitlyn Fugate, Ramsey Hall, Seth Lewis, Elly Morris, Skyanne Slone, and Sarah Torres.

Summer in the Park was voted the Best Community Festival for 2012 in March’s “Reader Choice Awards” conducted by The Hazard Herald. The Art Festival will be June 22 this year with displays ready for viewing by 4pm. Any young artists in the area, ages 3-18, are welcome to submit pieces for the Youthful Art Display this year. Artists of all disciplines are welcome to display, demonstrate and sell their works at the festival, with no charge to the artist. Room is still available if you would like to set up for the festival. See our page on Facebook, Summer in the Park, to sign up, or contact Terry Thies 436-2848. The Festival is made possible this year by the Foundation for Appalachian Kentucky, the Hazard Lions Club, Community Bank and Trust and Whitaker Bank.

The play, a presentation of Little Theatre of Hazard, will be performed during Summer in the Park, a celebration of the Arts and Bobby Davis Park, on Saturday, June 22 at 7 p.m. Thies also announced that Letha Patterson will be the music director for the play.

This year the group will add more musical numbers to their show and that is only being made possible by Patterson having time to work with LTH this summer. Everyone in the production is very happy to have Patterson on board and are adjusting well to the additional song and dance numbers. Patterson is also running the sound effects for the show.

“The Fourth Princess” brings together actors from age 4 to age 18 to tell the story of a broke kingdom (from paying off the dowries of threeprincesses), their valiant king just home from the Crusades to discover his treasury is no more. His ever faithful Prime Minister Batac concocts an impossible task to bring the country back to greatness.

The cast of the “The Fourth Princess” includes by alphabet: Emile Adams, Dana Bush, Jonathan Counts, Mary Daniels, Alexa Davidson, Ava Dixon, Libby Doll, Mandy Engle, Connor Francis, Raegan Francis, Caitlyn Fugate, Ramsey Hall, Kelsy Howard, Madison Howard, Halle Jo Kilburn, Seth Lewis, Trey Lewis, Madison Miller, Elly Morris, Haley Patterson, Henry Sepulveda, Skyanne Slone, Brock Torres, Sarah Torres, and Lily Williams-Lucero.

The Teen Players will also present a short play, “Among Friends and Clutter” by Lindsey Price. Seth Lewis, one of our originals, is directing with assistants Connor Francis, Rebecca States and Tori Howard. The play is a series of vignettes around the lives of seven people who were in the same First Grade class. The Players in this production are: Alexa Davidson, Connor Francis, Caitlyn Fugate, Ramsey Hall, Seth Lewis, Elly Morris, Skyanne Slone, and Sarah Torres.

Summer in the Park was voted the Best Community Festival for 2012 in March’s “Reader Choice Awards” conducted by The Hazard Herald. The Art Festival will be June 22 this year with displays ready for viewing by 4pm. Any young artists in the area, ages 3-18, are welcome to submit pieces for the Youthful Art Display this year. Artists of all disciplines are welcome to display, demonstrate and sell their works at the festival, with no charge to the artist. Room is still available if you would like to set up for the festival. See our page on Facebook, Summer in the Park, to sign up, or contact Terry Thies 436-2848. The Festival is made possible this year by the Foundation for Appalachian Kentucky, the Hazard Lions Club, Community Bank and Trust and Whitaker Bank.

The hardest hit room at Big Creek was the kindergarten room which is in a separate building to the side of the school. Mud and water from the overflowed creek still covered the floor of the room Wednesday afternoon as cleanup had yet to begin in that area. (photo by Amelia Holliday | Hazard Herald)

I have never heard such b.s in my life That little girl has to live for the rest of her life with the nightmars of the things this pedophile done to her: so in my opinion 20 years is not nearly enough. As far as testimony to the fact that the hymen was in tact and all this other bull the Honarable Bill Engle would never follow through on a trial of a person with evidence showing his innocence because he could be disbarred Mr Engle is strict and by the book if he held a trial and a unanimous verdict was rendered you can bet money it will not be over turned. He has never had a case over turned or ever lost an appeal. Stop crying over the fact your brother is a child molester and rapist and deal with it. The man is a worthless piece of garbage and deserves to spend the rest of his life behind bars! And hopefully when you get your criminal justice degree in 20 years because it will take an inbreed dumba;; like yourself that long, maybe then you can start busting all those drug dealers in scuddy starting with your brother and your mom and maybe then your boyfriend. The case is over and your brother will be tortured when he makes it to prison and im sure by the time he gets out in 17 years his hymen definetly will not be intact.
