Librarian Kathy Watson said the library should be twice the size for the usage it now has. To address the problem, the library’s board of di- rectors appointed a space planning board committee which meets monthly. The library has also hired Central Kentucky Design, an architectural firm from Berea. “It was designed with the intention to be a second floor,” Watson stated. But after the architects looked at the library, they say it is not structurally un- safe to add a second floor. They recommend piers on the outside and columns on the inside to support the weight of an upstairs floor. Watson said that is prob- ably cost prohibitive. She said the library is looking at re-configuring space and even looking at another location. “Our hope is to be able to stay on this lot,” she added. She said a two-story li- brary may be built at the back of the present lot. The space planning com- mittee is expected to make a recommendation at their next meeting at noon on Tuesday, April 19. Watson said the public is invited and welcome to come to this meeting. The library has applied for a construction grant from that state, which is in the state budget waiting to be passed. Watson said the pres- ent library was built with a construction grant from the state. Before that, the library started in a room inside the courthouse and then moved to a storefront in downtown Irvine. The librarian stated the number of books checked out has been down a little over the past several years. She explained the decrease has occurred because the li- brary has had to reduce the number of books that pa- trons can check out to make space for other programs. The library has eight computers, and that isn’t nearly enough. It also has two workstations where patrons can bring their lap laptops to use. Programs for children and teens are very popular, but the library has only one meeting room. Watson said An Estill man was ar- rested March 29 for burglary and other serious charges af- ter a woman told state police that she was forced to drive him to Stacy Lane. Sandra Kamer called KSP and told them the man had unlawfully entered her residence and held her there before making her drive him to Stacy Lane. Trooper C. Royal said he located Timothy Thacker, 30, of Stacy Lane behind the wheel of a passenger car in Dr. Long’s parking lot on River Drive. After searching the ve- hicle, the trooper wrote in the citation that he located a clear plastic wrapper with a white substance in the pas- senger side floor board. He said Thacker told him it was methamphetamine. He said it was his, and he threw it in the floorboard when the trooper arrived. After being placed un- der arrest, the trooper took Thacker to Marcum & Wal- lace Memorial Hospital for chemical tests. In addition to second de- gree burglary, Thacker was charged with second degree unlawful imprisonment, op- erating a motor vehicle under Continued on Page 14 Man charged with burglary and imprisoning a woman Withers Signs To Play Baseball For Berea Left to right, front: Sandra Withers, Les Withers and Zach Withers.

He has been pitching varsity games since he was a freshman and on this year’s team is the top pitcher. Zach attended some summer showcases this past sum- mer, and with the help of assistant coach Blake Crowe and staying in contact with Berea coach Todd Morris, Berea liked what they saw in Zach and offered him a chance to continue playing baseball at Berea College. “We are very proud of Zach,” says coach Brian Crowe, “And wish him continued success.” Zach is the son of Les and Sandra Withers.

The citation states that Gina Lowe called Post 7 about someone possibly stripping copper wire at her deceased father’s house on Rice Station Road. Lowe told KSP that her uncle had called her to in- form her of the above. She went to the residence and found Nicholas Davidson, 36, of Waco and an unknown male at the house. The citation states that she had allowed Davidson to stay at the house a few nights about a month ago. Upon her arrival on Sat- urday, Lowe told Trooper C. Royal that she saw several pipes ripped from the wall before contacting KSP. The trooper wrote in the citation that he saw several missing outlets and wires pulled from the wall, along with several tools. Davidson reportedly told the trooper that he was tak- ing the electrical outlets off because he was doing elec- trical work. Trooper Royal said he lo- cated a pile of stripped wire inside a coat closet. The elec- tricity had been shut off. Davidson was charged with criminal mischief, first degree. Bond for Davidson was set at $10,000 cash. At his arraignment, he pleaded not- guilty. A preliminary hearing is set for April 13. Court records say that Da- vidson was arrested on this offense while he had charges pending.

Boyd VanWinkle was arrested by Irvine Police Chief Brad Smith who charged him with disorderly conduct, second degree, and terroristic threatening, third degree. Both charges are misdemeanors. Smith was called to the Cabinet for Health and Family Services on March 15 because VanWinkle was reportedly cursing and yell- ing at the staff. The victim there toldVan- Winkle, “It will be alright.” Smith said that VanWinkle responded, “It might be, but you won’t be.” VanWinkle was then told that statement was a threat.
