When Casey County has a Relay for Life, you can bet on two things:
One, they’re going to raise a lot of money – which they did – and two, Billie Wilson’s going to be there.
“I am blessed,” she proclaimed Friday at the annual, American Cancer Society fundraiser. “I’m blessed beyond measure.”
Four years ago, Wilson was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer.
“You know what that means for most people,” she said.

A Casey County E-911 dispatcher has been arrested and faces charges of sending nude photographs and a video of himself and his girlfriend having sex to a minor in Green County.
Joshua S. Blevins, 28, of 932 Rainwater Road, Bethelridge, was arrested on May 10 by Liberty Police Chief Steven Garrett at the Casey County Courthouse on a Green County warrant charging him with distribution of obscene matter to minors, a misdemeanor.

A special, called meeting will be held next week to review applications for the position of Casey County School Superintendent.
At the monthly Casey County School Board meeting on Monday, Superintendent Linda Hatter said the board, a screening committee, and representative from the Kentucky School Boards Association (KSBA) will meet Tuesday, May 21, 6 p.m., at the central office.
Hatter, who announced her retirement in March, held the superintendent’s position for 10 years. Her final day will be June 30.

Taken from the Casey County E911 records, Street Beat represents a history of the initial calls and the information used by the dispatcher to send officers to investigate complaints. It is not an indication of what the officers found upon arrival at the scene or how police may have dealt with the complaint.
