2 K E N T U C K Y F I S H & W I L D L I F E C O M M I S S I O N E R ’ S N E W S L E T T E R Kentucky Afield TV – the envelope please By Charlie Baglan It happens. You put your heart into a project and nothing. Your best goes for naught – and it’s not the first time. Look till you turn blue, but “Atta boys” can be few. This; however, is the story of two. The first goes to “Kentucky Afield” TV’s Nathan Sangster and Tim Farmer. The second is for graphic artist Obie Williams. The nods came in a big envelope from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences’ Ohio Valley Chapter marked, “Emmy nominations.” (Nobody in TV ever confuses these with junk mail.) With the grin on their faces, you’d think they had just been Oscarnominated. Being honored by the best in your biz makes you feel as if your fifteen minutes have arrived and Ed McMahon has bellowed it so. It’s Brobdingnagian (you can Google it). The pieces all the rage are the new radically rocking show open Obie designed somewhere in a dream along with Tim and Nathan’s “Cooper, the blind dog.” Keith Parker appointed new Engineering Division director Keith Parker is the new Director of the Engineering Division. Keith is a Professional Engineer and has been employed since 1992 with the Department. He is very familiar with the development projects that the Department initiates and is eager to work with all the divisions. Please congratulate Keith and welcome him to the non-merit world! Airing originally in February, 2008, it’s about the bond between man and beast. This German shorthaired pointer is the companion of Clark County’s Mike Cole. It’s a touching story. Sorry, it’s an Emmyworthy feature that we repeat as often as Slone lets us. Of course, you can see Obie’s awesome open on every show. “Good job” doesn’t quite say it, but seeing good guys coming to work with purpose and confidence – not just a lunchbox – does. Meagan Huston was recently promoted to the position of Administrative Specialist III for the Engineering Division. Meagan started her career working in the Central Fishery District (Fish Lab) in October 2005. Meagan will be handling day to day administrative duties for See “Director,” page 4
A U G U S T 2 0 0 9 Lt. Herb Booth, Sgt. Garry Clark and Lt. Greg Davis. Booth, Clark, Davis among 20 DOCJT Police Supervision graduates Law enforcement officers from 16 agencies across the commonwealth were recognized at a graduation ceremony July 31 for completing the Kentucky Department of Criminal Justice Training’s Academy of Police Supervision. Kentucky Fish and Wildlife Law Enforcement Division lieutenants Greg Davis of the Fifth District and Herb Booth of the Eighth District, along with Sergeant Garry Clark of the First District were among the graduates. APS, also called the sergeant’s academy, is a three-week, 120-hour training program targeted for newly promoted sergeants or officers who are on their agency’s promotion list to become sergeants. “I didn’t always get what leadership was… but finally, now today, I can tell you the definition of leadership is rather simple,” said Fayette County Sheriff Kathy Witt, who served as guest speaker for the ceremony. “…To be a leader you have to accept the call of what God requires all of us to do – to act justly and fairly to your neighbor and fellow man, to have compassion and to be loyal.” While in APS, students participate in classes focusing on the role of a supervisor, as well as leadership, resolving conflict, managing diversity, monitoring officer performance, professional image, legal issues for supervisors, ethics, interpersonal communication, effective written communication, making decisions, solving problems, managing critical incidents, public speaking, emotional survival, budgeting, media relations and others. “I believe leadership … requires us to maintain our character and integrity. It requires us to inspire and motivate others,” Witt said. The graduating class is the 33rd to complete APS since the program began in 2003. Owensboro Police Department Sgt. David M. Powell was chosen as class speaker. APS is a stepping stone to the Department of Criminal Justice Training’s Criminal Justice Executive Development program, which is a five-week advanced leadership course offered once a year for supervisors at Kentucky’s small and medium-size law enforcement agencies. Potential CJED students must rank sergeant or above and be selected by a committee to take part in the course. The Department of Criminal Justice Training is a state agency located on Eastern Kentucky University’s campus. The agency is accredited by the Commis- 3 APS 33 GRADUATES AND THEIR AGENCIES Lt.
