HAZARD – A three-sport athlete at Hazard High School will make the leap to college in baseball after signing his letter of intent with the University of Virginia at Wise.

Jordan Olinger was flanked by his coaches and family as he signed with the school on Wednesday. One of Hazard’s standout football players, Olinger said he actually considered pursuing a collegiate career in football, but baseball is the sport he prefers.

“I like hitting homeruns,” Olinger said with a smile. “You don’t get to hit homeruns in football.”

Olinger said he is looking forward to college and playing with two of his high school teammates, as both Austin Johnson and Evan Whitaker also expressed interest in UVa-Wise. But for now, he’s focusing on the rest of the season with Hazard, and possibly a long run into the postseason. The Bulldogs are currently 23-7 (one game behind Letcher Central in the 14th Region), with a match-up against South Laurel on the road set for Wednesday evening. Hazard will then host South Laurel on Thursday and end the season with a couple of games against Central, located in Wise, Va., on May 18.

Olinger’s signing this week is a highlight in a high school career in which he hopes to make it to the state tournament in three different sports. Baseball is the only sport in which he has yet to reach the state. (He was on the roster as an eighth grader in 2009 when the Bulldogs reached the first round of the Sweet 16 basketball tournament, and helped the Bulldogs win the 2011 Class A football championship.) But with the postseason set to begin next week, that could change.

“We’re just trying to go to state,” Olinger said. “(It will be the) first time I will have ever been to state. Hopefully we’ll get there.”

The 54th District tournament will begin on May 20, with Hazard facing Buckhorn (7-23) at home.

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.

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 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.

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.
