At approximately
10:45am on Tuesday
September 8th, the stu-
dents at Crossroads El-
ementary were lead out
of the school due to a fire
which broke out in the
school. The Owingsville
Fire Department was
called out to the new
school on U.S 60 due to
a grease fire that erupt-
ed in the kitchen area.
No injuries have been
reported, no structural
damage, but the fire did
lead to the evacuation of
the students and staff
from the building.
"A deep fryer caught
on fire," said Facility
Manager Burnsy Stew-
art. "The fryer had a
stainless steel hood and
there was little dam-
age. We won't be using
the appliance until it is
thoroughly inspected.
The vents stayed on
which also helped clear
the smoke."
Owingsville Volunteer
Firefighters responded
to the scene as students
and staff evacuated the
building.
"Since there was such
little smoke many of
our students and staff
thought this was just
another 'drill so things
were very orderly,"
Stewart said.
Shortly following the
fire, a storm moved
through the area and in-
capacitated many of the
phone systems across
the county, particularly
around the school sys-
tem, leading to tension
from some citizens and
officials.
Students were escort-
ed back inside the build-
ing around 11:30 a.m.
Crossroads Principal
Lisa Henderson said the
fire was put out before
the firefighters arrived
on the scene and she
was very proud of the
orderly conducted of the
young students.

The games were fan-

MVP
Michael Bowling was named the Bath County MVP for the game against Lewis. Michael played linebacker on
defense, halfback and wide receiver on offense, returned kicks, and blocked a extra point attempt on special teams.
He led a valiant effort by the Wildcats but the Lions proved too much as Lewis County won 40-6.
