Johnny D. Moore

A Mount Sterling man who police say was driving under the influence when he struck a Clay City woman, killing her, is among the 19 new indictments released by the Powell County Grand Jury last week. Johnny D. Moore is facing murder and DUI charges.
Police say that at approximately 9:30 p.m. on Feb. 28 Moore was driving southbound on Highway 11 about two miles north of Clay City. On that same roadway Martha Vivian was returning home and accidently missed her driveway. As Vivian tried to turn into a driveway to turn around she ended up in a ditch.
Police say that Vivian was apparently checking her car for damage and as she walked around the back of her vehicle Moore struck her. A witness, who had pulled over on the opposite side of the road, but past Vivian, reported that Moore never attempted to stop or avoid Vivian. Vivian was found several feet away from her car and Moore’s truck was found in a ditch nearby.
Moore tried to tell police that night that someone else was driving. However, the witness and a neighbor who came outside reported only seeing Moore at the scene. Police testified at a preliminary hearing in March that the truck’s keys were found in Moore’s pocket,
A portable breathalyzer used at the scene indicted that Moore’s level was .157. However, blood tests results from a sample also taken at the scene indicated his blood alcohol level to be .140.
Under the indictment Moore’s bond has been set at $225,000 full cash. Moore has been incarcerated at the Powell County Detention center since the accident.
As for the other indictments, many were only summonsed to court. According to court officials the reason for the summons being issued instead of arrest warrants was based on the seriousness of the alleged offense and how old the case was.
Indictments are allegations of crimes and those accused are considered innocent until proven guilty in a court of law. Others who were also indicted with the available information in court files were:
• Michael Hall, 41, possession of drug paraphernalia, tampering with physical evidence concealing a syringe, summons for June 5;
• Dennis Bennett, 42, possession of a controlled substance first degree, summons for June 5;
• Jason Williams, 36, first degree possession of a controlled substance, possession of drug paraphernalia and tampering with physical evidence, summons for June 5;

Dr. Beatrice O. Newell

While some may believe that serving others is a duty, Dr. Beatrice O. Newell looks at it slightly differently. “It is a privilege to serve people,” Dr. Newell says. “We are blessed by God to help others and that is what we should do. We can do it here.”
The “here” she is referring to is the Casa San Pio Clinic in Stanton. Dr. Newell began working there last Monday and is quickly becoming acclimated to the task at hand and the people she wants to help. The clinic has been open since November 2011 and its primary mission is to give medical treatment to everyone they can.
“I want to be able to practice in areas, where I have for a good part of my life, where maybe the people don’t have a lot of money and feel like they don’t have a lot of choice,” Newell said. “We want to treat people regardless what they have, it could be one dollar or a million dollars.
Newell is originally from Winchester. She graduated from Kentucky State University and went to Creighton University Medical School where she graduated in 1979. Newell completed an externship internship focusing on internal medicine at Miscordonia Hospital in New York City and then completed an internship at Loyola University School of Medicine in 1981. After completing her residency at Loyola in 1982 she went to work at the Foster McGraw University Medical Center and was the Loyola University transport leader for the neo-natal division..
Newell has lived around the country and practiced medicine everywhere she went. She worked at hospitals and had a private practice in Mississippi as well as being a consultant for pediatric healthcare for the Chocktaw Indian Nations. While at the Riley Hospital in Mississippi she was the chief of pediatrics, worked the newborn clinic and high-risk newborn care. She has worked at clinics and in private practice in Ohio and Oklahoma. She is licensed to practice in Illinois as well.
She decided to “come back home,” she said. She still has family in Clark County.
Newell is board certified in pediatrics and is a family practioner. Despite all the titles, despite working with seven uncivilized Native American tribes in Oklahoma, besides being the transport physician for high risk pediatric cases for the Cleveland Clinic and even after being the commanding physician as an Air Force Reserves major at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base for six weeks when Operation Desert Storm began in the early 1990’s, Dr. Newell understands the most important title she could have. That is a doctor that knows and cares about her patients. That doctor is usually what many patients consider to be a friend.
“I’m from the old-school. That means I get to see my patients and get to know them,” Newell said. “Today we use computers a lot. We need to use them, you can’t even bill without them. But I also like to actually see the patient. Hands-on; get to know them and not depend just on computers to tell me what is going on. When’s the last time a doctor told you to strip down, put on the robe and let’s check you out to make sure we don’t miss anything? I mean be examined, really examined. That is what we need and I want to make sure all of our patients get the care they need and deserve.”
The youngest daughter out of seven and from a family of 10 kids, Newell knows that people have it rough. But to her that means they still deserve the same medical care everyone else receives. “The facility here is great. We have two specialists that come here every Wednesday. One is a cardiologist and the other is a pulmonologist, two very important areas in medicine and they are right here to help this community,” she added. “This place is almost like an urgent treatment center, except we don’t have the beds. But overall it is not what people think a clinic is. We are here to help you and can meet so many of the needs of the community. It is wonderful that this clinic is here and the administration makes sure we have the things we need to care for people.”
Casa San Pio, is actually part of a network of clinics built by two physicians from Jackson and Marian Medical Services, a Missouri based company. Together they work to bring services like cardiologists and high tech medical care to small areas. They are also the founders of Catholic HealthCare International.
That organization works to help build healthcare facilities and hospitals modeling the “Home for the Relief of Suffering” that Padre Pio was well-known for. The casa’s are “Clinics for the Body and the Soul.” Padre Pio died in 1968, but his work helping others has gone on and Pope John Paul II canonized him as St. Pio of Pietrelcina in 2002.
The clinic is well equipped and provides diagnostic services like CT Scans, Nuclear Cardiology, ultra sounds and other laboratory services. As for the specialists, Dr. Mel Abordo is board certified in cardiology and internal medicine. His wife, Dr. June Abadilla is also board certified in internal medicine plus pulmonology. That means she works with medical problems with the lungs. Both have a clinic in Jackson and wanted to be able to provide medical care they feel is vital for the residents of Powell County as well.
Newell sees her position at the clinic as one that is ordained by a higher power. “I have been blessed by God to heal, to work in medicine. I have never considered doing anything else,” Newell said with a soft, calming smile. “We are dedicated to the health and welfare of all people and I serve because it is a privilege to work here and to server others. I hope I can enhance the things we already have here. And get more into the wellness and prevention areas of health care. This place is doing something good here for everyone who needs it.”

Ralph Allyn

Two high-profile murder cases had status hearings last week and one suspect could be released soon. Ralph Allyn and Terrance Wagner were both in Powell Circuit Court last Wednesday as part of the regularly scheduled motion hour. Both men are facing murder charges stemming from two separate incidents within 12 hours of each other.
Police were called to a home on First Avenue in Clay City about a stabbing. When officers arrived they found Kelly McCoy, 50, dead lying on the floor of his home. Police quickly took Wagner into custody.
In a hearing held on Jan. 29 Kentucky State Police Detective Virgil Rucker told the court that Wagner stated to them in an interview after his arrest that McCoy and him were arguing over a woman. He also stated that at least three other people may have been present at the time of the stabbing.
Rucker stated that Wagner indicated that McCoy pushed him onto a couch two or three times.

Terrance Wagner

Wagner then allegedly grabbed a butcher knife from the kitchen and stabbed McCoy. Those present apparently left quickly and called for help. Wagner also told officers that both he and McCoy had been drinking that day.
Wagner was arrested and charged with murder. His bond was set at $195,000 cash.
Back in February in his attorney, Lisa Whisman, reminded the court of a discussion about how Wagner was not much of a flight risk due to his age and health. She requested that the bond be modified and that Wagner could possibly wear an ankle monitor.
However, at that time Commonwealth Attorney Darrell Herald disagreed saying that the crime “is of a serious nature.” Herald opposed any reduction in the bond.
Powell Circuit Judge Frank Fletcher stated he would take the bond reduction request “under advisement.”
But during last Wednesday’s appearance when Whisman again asked about the possibility of the GPS ankle monitor Fletcher inquired as to whether or not Wagner could afford the cost. Whisman advised the court that her client had indicated he could. Herald took no position on the renewed request.
Wagner’s trial is set to begin on Aug. 15. he is due back in court on June 5.
Allyn was charged with shooting his girlfriend some 12 hours after Wagner allegedly committed his crime. Police say they received a call from Allyn stating he had shot Barbara Martin in their home on Lower Cane Creek northeast of Stanton.
When officers arrived and finally convinced Allyn to come out, they found Martin, 64, lying in her kitchen floor face down.  Testimony at a hearing late last month found that Martin had been shot with a .44 magnum. She was hit once in the neck and once in the chest.
Allyn has already been sent to the Kentucky Corrections Psychiatric Center in LaGrange for a mental evaluation. Those finds have been returned, but are sealed in the court file. Attorney’s for Allyn stated that the “raw data” has not been returned yet.
The attorney’s also told the court last week that Allyn is considered 60 percent disabled by the Veterans Administration. At least 50 percent of that reportedly is due to post traumatic stress syndrome and hearing issues.
Allyn’s attorneys indicated last week they were still waiting for a record from KCOC and had just received approximately “10 pounds” of photos in the case. They also asked for another evaluation to be conducted by their doctor. {According to court records Allyn was evaluated at KCPC and was found to be competent.}
Allyn’s request for a bond reduction was denied by Fletcher. It currently stands at $195,000. He is due back in court on July 17.

Sarah Bloom, Times Lifestyles Columnist

I can vividly remember the day I brought home my newborn twins.  Petrified, inexperienced and totally oblivious to the journey I was about to embark on I found myself talking to these two little people whose every need depended on me.
I can recall repeatedly telling them that I would do my best and I prayed many times each day.  At that time I was so scared of messing up, of doing something that would cause them harm or warp their childhood.  I was certain those long nights of no sleep and crying would never end.  Now, fourteen years later I am at a loss at how quickly they did.
I can clearly remember bringing home my third son for the first time.  Walking into my house with two toddlers in tow I was once again petrified.  How was I going to care for all three of these boys and keep my sanity?  I felt completely unqualified and overwhelmed.
I cried that first day, my mom held me close and I cried.  Now eleven years later I cried for a different reason.  That once tiny brown haired, blue eyed boy is now a 5th grade graduate.
When I brought my fourth son home I was much more prepared.  I felt more confident and knew that no matter what God had my back, my mom was there for me and the previous years of experience kept the nerves at bay.
But one call from the hospital and my world of calm quickly disappeared.  It was found that my new baby boy was born with congenital hypothyroidism.  His thyroid did not work and was not producing the hormones to make his tiny brain grow.
Terms no mother ever wants to hear became a part of our everyday life:  mental retardation, deformity, developmental challenges.  But once again God had His hands on my child.  My baby began his medication one week after birth.  His doctor said another day or so later and he would have already had some amount of brain damage.  Those first weeks, months and years were a whirlwind of blood tests and check-ups.  Now six years later my boy is extremely smart, handsome, active and finishing up his Kindergarten year.
Time marches on whether we are ready for it or not.  As a mother I always want to be able to protect my children and right every wrong.  From those beginning days it is just the nature of a mom.  I have always been a sentimental person and once I became a mother those feeling intensified over every milestone and detail.
It is such a contradiction to watch your children grow.  On one hand I am so proud and thankful to the Lord for my boys, their health and abilities.  On the other hand my heart breaks that they are growing up so fast.   It is hard to go from the provider and most important person in your child’s world to the one that has to stand in the background and pray those wings you gave them will fly them wherever their dreams may lead.
So if you are ever the one seated next to me at a graduation or other event in my children’s lives just be prepared for the sound of crying.  I am not ashamed of my tears.  Those tears are tears of pride, joy, love and happiness and just a touch of sadness because time slows down for no one…not even a mother.
“To everything there is a season, a time for every purpose under Heaven…”  Ecclesiastes 3:1

Powell's Brittany Black connects for a key base hit in this past weekend's game against Clay County.

It may have been cool and rainy, but the Lady Pirates softball team warmed up quickly at the Tim Short Auto Classic at Perry Central last weekend. Powell knocked off two regional opponents and then came close to grabbing the title. Instead they took second place but picked 30 hits in three games and looked determined.
Powell 7, Leslie 4
Katie Knox went 3-for-3 and scored twice as the Lady Pirates beat Leslie County for the third time this season. The Lady Pirates scored five runs in the first inning and never looked back as the drizzle fell. Alyssa Pennington delivered the big hit in the inning. With two outs and bases loaded, the freshman left-hander nailed a shot down the first base line for a triple and picked up three RBI’s.
Powell 11, Perry Central 5
In a much anticipated matchup Powell struck first scoring four runs in the second inning. Perry Central answered with a quick three runs in their next at bat. The lady Pirates added another run and then exploded for six runs in the fifth inning to gain a huge lead. Knox went 2-for-four, Kenzie Barnett was 3-for-4 with two RBI’s and Kaylee Tipton hit a two run triple in the fifth to top off her 2-for-3 performance to help seal the win. Pennington and Whitney Cook also picked up two RBI’s in the victory.
Clay County 9, Powell 7
The two teams met about a month ago just a couple miles down the road at the Hazard Triangle. Clay dominated that night 10-0. Now the two met in the championship game of the weekend tournament. But Powell, despite falling behind 5-0 early this time roared back to take a 7-5 lead into the seventh inning. Clay took advantage of a couple of errors and scored four in their final at bat then held Powell to win the tournament. Brittany Black, Knox and Barnett were all 2-for-4 in the game.
Powell’s record now stands at 21-7 as they entered the final week of the regular season. They travel to Clark County tonight (Thursday) and will play Paris and Knott Central on Friday. That night will also be induction night for 10 players into the new PCHS Lady Pirates Fastpitch Softball Hall of Fame. Game time is 5:30 p.m.
