BREAKING NEWS: HCHS students mourn deaths of two classmates
I don’t know what time the article was published, today, but sometime late this morning or early this afternoon, the Cynthiana Democrat published a story on the accident that occurred yesterday evening.
BREAKING NEWS: HCHS students mourn deaths of two classmates
By Becky Barnes, Editor
Two Harrison County High School students were tragically killed in a two-car accident Monday evening.Their deaths have stalled many activities at the school as classmates and family mourn.
Sarah Riggs, 17, and Jennifer Riggs, 16, were in the front seats of a 1997 Camry, which Sarah was driving. They died at the scene. Backseat passengers Jake Stephens, 17, and Jennifer Edens, 16, were taken to Harrison Memorial Hospital.
All Homecoming activites that were planned for the balance of the week have been postponed. The football game against Bourbon County will go on as scheduled. However, high school soccer games and other activities have been cancelled through Thursday night.More information will be released as it becomes available. See this week’s Cynthiana Democrat for the complete story.
The Lexington Herald-Leader has published an article as well. Two guestbooks are available for signing in remembrance of the teens.
As I drove back down the hill from picking the children up from school some twenty minutes ago I spotted two news vans making their way up church street towards HCHS. 27Newsfirst and WLEX18 are apparently going to have coverage for this story tonight. It’s, of course, a tragic tale which will be sure to grab at everyone’s heartstrings–two teenage sisters killed in a car accident during homecoming week, the school and classmates mourning, and homecoming events (all but the game itself) canceled.
I believe that Cynthiana was going to see the first homecoming parade in years, up until this event.
In regard to the parade, I believe that this was going to be the first parade in nearly fifteen years. I’m honestly uncertain of the last parade, or the date, but I believe that there hadn’t been a parade since the year that Bennie Doan had wrote a threatening letter in which he (writing anonymously) threatened to kill his daughter; if that was the last time, of a parade, then, yes, it’s been fifteen years – that was 1992. An interesting story there… maybe I’ll revisit it at a later date…
Coffeebreak – 18 Sept. 2007
Well, I’ve been listening to Coffeebreak… This morning Rick had Representative Tom McKee on the program… Discussions were politics, of course…
I tuned in (via the simultaneous webcast) right after the announcement of the cancellation of the Homecoming Events.
Rick asked Tom his opinion on local finances, and what items might be included in the state budget for aiding Cynthiana and Harrison County.
Discussion also involved casino gambling, agriculture in respect of the impact of this years weather on the price of grains and the effect of development of bio-fuels (ethanol), and the problems faced at Lake Cumberland.
On closing, Rep. McKee wished to convey his sorrow to the friends and families affected by last night’s tragedy.
Sponsors were:
Eastside Pharmacy, Whalen & Company, Bourbon Community Hospital, Jetubs, and the St. Edwards Truck & Tractor Pull (takes place this weekend)
The show will be rebroadcast at 4:00 p.m.

AM 1400 – WCYN
I was out running a few errands this morning, and ended up having to sit in the car for a bit, in order to wait for one of the businesses to open up… I ended up listening to WCYN while I was sitting in the van–the reason why I was listening to WCYN was because my usual radio station does not come in at that spot (as well as many others) in Cynthiana.
Anyway, I got to catch the last ten minutes of Coffeebreak, and the first few of Ray Chamberlain’s Words of Faith program.
On Coffeebreak, this morning, Rick was speaking with (I forget the first name) Furnish about an event that is taking place this weekend for the benefit of St. Edward’s. I ended up discovering something that I hadn’t know… St. Edwards has bought a few properties in order to expand. They’re the only church in town that hasn’t had any expansion in the last few years. Honestly, I’m glad that they’re expanding, for, as Furnish had said on this morning’s program, they are in desperate need of common and play areas for the children of the church and school. I hope that this fundraiser, and any further that they have become fruitful, and assist in this effort.
On Chamberlain’s spot, he read a poem that his wife shares each September. I absolutely loved the poem, but forgot the title and the author, so I called up Radioshack, and asked Leann if she could find out what poem had appeared on this morning’s radio spot. She, in turn called the church, and got in touch with her grandmother, who informed us that the poem is September, by Helen Hunt Jackson. The story that Ray shared along with the poem was quite cute… Ray said that he believes that the Mrs. brings the poem out each year, for the fond memory that she has each September is their engagement. If that isn’t romantic, I do not know what is…
After receiving the call back from Leann, I hopped on the net, in order to attempt to offer a suggestion to WCYN, for the sale of their Coffeebreak program… they keep an archive of their programs for five days, so that they may be able to sell copies to the public… Cassettes are $15 and CDs $20… Well, I thought that maybe I could suggest that they offer copies in mp3, available for sale and download from the website… That’s when I discovered that the idea may have already come about, for they are doing something that they hadn’t before… they are streaming their broadcast…
