According to Bivens, a 1999 Mercury Sable, driven by Robert Baxter Jr., 74, of Maysville, make a right-hand turn off of Lions Club Lane and collided with a 1998 Kenworth, driven by Joseph King, 53, of Mt. Airy, North Carolina, traveling east on the AA Highway. The tractor-trailer then crossed into the westbound lane, traveled off the roadway into the ditch and then caught fire.

Baxter and his wife, Ruth Baxter, 71, were taken to Meadowview Regional Medical Center in Maysville, as was King.

The AA Highway was closed for more than two hours.

On Friday, October 1, 2004, from 6:00 to 9:00 p.m. local artist Sue Lovell Gorman displayed her works of art in the building next door to the Helen H. Rayburn Public Library of Lewis County.

Gorman said she was a student of Danny McCane at Lewis County High School and also studied for two years under Jeanette Dickinson at Maysville Community College.

The artist said she began drawing at an early age. Her mother, Linda Polley, related that she started about the age of six, and Mom still has that first picture. She said that even at that early stage Sue’s talent was obvious.

Gorman said that she began studying impressionism but has moved slowly from that to works reflecting more realism. She began working with oil paintings about two years ago.

So far Gorman has sold five of her oil paintings and several copies of one print. For the future art will continue to be a career for her whether it pays or not. She asserted that she wants to continue doing shows and representing her community.

Sue is married to Jeff Gorman, and they have three children: Madison who is 19 months old; Austin who is three; and Sarah who is eight years old. They reside in Concord where she has lived all of her life.

John Russell, 56, was convicted of reckless homicide in the death of Curtis Bush, 42, in March of last year.

The Circuit Court jury recommended the maximum sentence of five years, although he will be eligible for parole after one year, in accordance with state sentencing guidelines.

Bush died March 23, 2003, at Southern Ohio Medical Center in Portsmouth, Ohio, a day after he was struck by an ATV near Russell's residence on Tar Camp Road.

Commonwealth's Attorney Clifford Duvall said Bush had told hospital workers that the incident was intentional. Russell has maintained that it was an accident.
