What would you do if you lost your best friend?

Tiffany Lane and her husband were visiting family in the Mt. Vernon area over Memorial Day week-end when their beloved English Bulldog, Bentley, disappeared on Monday, May 26.

A $500 reward is being offered for his safe return, no questions asked.

“I was visiting my sister-in-law and Bentley went into a wooded area. We don’t know if he fell over a cliff or someone picked him up thinking he was abandoned. We have no children and he is like a baby to us. I’ve not slept a night since he’s been gone,” said a distraught Tiffany Lane of Morehead, Ky.

Lane has been e-mailing and calling everyone she can think of in the Mt. Vernon/Somerset area, trying to find anyone who’s seen the little bulldog.

Bentley is on the small side for a bulldog, only 40 pounds. He is white with multiple black spots, somewhat like the pattern of a Dalmatian.

“He’s very gentle and extremely friendly. Please help us find our baby!” pleaded Lane in her e-mail to Lake Cumberland Kennel Club in Somerset.

Members of Lake Cumberland Kennel Club are helping spread the word about the lost pet.

“We’re glad to help. Any of us could find ourselves in a situation like this and need help. I just so hope Bentley will be reunited with his family,” said Gloria Sams, public education coordinator for the club.

Anyone with information about the Lane’s missing bulldog should call her at either (606) 784-9755 or (606) 356-9966. Her e-mail address is:

Somerset on verge of becoming natural gas hub
It sounds like a Buck Rogers fiction series, but it’s true. The city of Somerset is about to become the energy hub of Kentucky, maybe even regionally or nationally.
Somerset Mayor Eddie Girdler, gas company manager Dan Henderson and city engineer Reggie Chaney discussed the grandiose energy network this week with a reporter for the Commonwealth Journal. It’s more than a vision. City officials say it’s about to become reality.

Pulaski County is not at war. The booming you may hear at dusk is mock cannon fire to scare away birds.
Stuart Spillman, environmental director for the Lake Cumberland Health Department, said at least three cannons are on loan from the department to residents who want to scare away swarms of starlings and blackbirds settling in to roost.
He said a cannon is being used by a resident on Laura Lane off Ky. 39; another is in the Oak Hill Road area and a third is on Ashurst Street in the eastern part of Somerset.
Spillman said a timer on each cannon allows it to “fire” at whatever frequency is desired. The cannons must be used as the birds circle before going to roost. “After they settle in, nothing will chase them out,” Spillman said.
The Health Department doesn’t operate the cannons unless there is a specific complaint in an area where there are lots of birds, Spillman noted. He said so far this year the birds are not as bad as in the past.

Boil water advisory is lifted countywide
The water controversy that Pulaski County has been boiling over — so to speak — for the last week is finally over.
At 10 minutes after noon Wednesday, the “boil water” advisory for the Western Pulaski Water District was lifted — almost a full week after the problems began around 1 p.m. last Thursday.
Prior to that, the Somerset Water Service — along with the other water providers in its system, including Science Hill Water, Southeastern Water, and Eubank Water — lifted their advisories, with Somerset on Saturday afternoon and the last, Southeastern, by Monday morning. Western Pulaski was the last in the system to complete sample testing for potential contaminants, due to not being able to access its Pikeville-based testing lab until Monday.
Somerset Mayor Eddie Girdler thanked the public for its patience and understanding during the duration of the boil water advisory — put in place to keep citizens from drinking water that could have been contaminated after an accident last Thursday at the water plant site — and also thanked all the city employees for their hard work during this time.
“The boil water advisory went about as well as would be expected,” said Girdler.
