VIPER -- The Perry County judge-executive says he will be declaring a state of emergency following flash flooding on Wednesday. Roads mostly in the southern part of the county were damaged as flood waters came up quick during the Wednesday afternoon storm. One road that was washed out has already been designated as needing repairs. Perry County Emergency Management Director John Epperson said that parts of Fort Branch near Highway 7 in Fusonia has been washed out and the road has sustained serious damage. County road crews have been able to open the road, however, it will need major repairs. “County Crews have gotten it opened back up, but they have had a terrible amount of rain is a short period of time,” said Epperson. The rain quickly filled the streams and culverts, causing rushing water to cover the road. “It filled up every one of our culverts and went over the road,” said Epperson. Despite the violent sudden flooding on Fort Branch, Epperson said that no homes have been reported damaged. “It washed one guy’s swimming pool away, but it hasn’t damaged any of the houses or anything like that. It has done some major road damage it has undercut the road,” Epperson noted, adding that officials may have to enlist some help to repair the roads through some national programs. Judge Noble said that there are several roads like this across the county. Several Perry County senior citizens were also stuck in Letcher County and Noble was on his way to see if he can get them out. Noble said once he returns to Perry County he will declare a state of emergency to hopefully get help for some of the road wash outs and downed trees in the county.

LTH Youth Players dedicate time to summer play
Jun 20, 2013 | 822 views | 0 0 comments | 3 3 recommendations | email to a friend | print

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.
