Most people in the 23-county 7th District didn't hear about Carol Hubbard's plan until it surfaced in news reports Friday.

Pike County 4 i ONE WEEK ONLY! Associated Press HINDMAN, Ky. When U.S. Rep. Chris Perkins heard that the wife of his Western Kentucky con-Igressional colleague, Carroll Hubbard, was planning to move to the District and challenge him, he thought it was a joke. "You're kidding," Perkins said to Knott County Commonwealth's Attorney Randy Campbell after hearing the news of Carol Hubbard's indentions to run against him in the 1 1992 Democratic primary.

Many others were surprised as But "we're always thankful to new people in the Eastern Kentucky coalfields," said Perkins, 'of Hindman, "and I'm sure she'll trouble. Perkins won a fourth full term this month by beating Republican Will T. Scott of Pikeville. But he won only 51 percent of the vote in a district that is 73 percent Democratic. "I think it's obvious that Will Scott's strong showing has raised a lot of questions about Chris' vulnerability," Patton said, adding that he expected several more Democratic challengers for Perkins.

Scott said several powerful Democrats, including state Rep. Herbie Deskins of Pikeville, were seeking support for a campaign against Perkins. Carol Hubbard, 50, a former Miss Kentucky, said she would move to the district by the end of the year and hoped to file campaign finance Perkins Judge-Executive Paul Patton, a Per WASHABLE TOP GREEN BASE INSULATED FELT papers by early January. She is a former schoolteacher but currently works in the personnel department of a Falls Church, computer company. She is also a member of the Kentucky Council on Higher Education.

Perkins, 36, said he had met Carol Hubbard several times and that "she seems like a very nice lady." But his feelings about Carroll Hubbard, who has said he will make a second run for governor in 1995, aren't so pleasant. Perkins said he was close to most of the Kentucky congressional delegation, but added: "Of all members of the delegation, he (Carroll Hubbard) would be the one I'd be least likely to get along with. But I'm not alone in that." And while he expressed amusement at the idea of Carol Hubbard's challenge, Perkins hinted at a concern that Carroll Hubbard is grabbing at more power through his wife. "It sounds like the franchising of a congressman to me," he said of Carroll and Carol Hubbard. "But we'll have to work out those L's to get it figured out."

Reinhard has been accused of violating federal election law by making political contributions from a Maryland university's non-profit foundation. Reinhard, chief executive of Frostburg (Md.) State University, also is being investigated by a Maryland Senate panel for allegedly using foundation money to buy cruise control for his state-owned car, according to reports in the daily of Cumberland, this week. Reinhard, who left Morehead State amid controversy in 1986, admitted to the Senate panel that he had diverted $1,240 from his foundation discretionary account to buy tickets to political functions, the newspaper said.

Also, the Times- was closed last week at Reinhard's request, the report said. No charges have been filed, but some Frostburg State faculty members have called for Reinhard's censure. Gov. Martha Layne Collins called for the resignation of all eight appointed Morehead regents after they refused in 1985 to extend Reinhard's two-year contract by one year. Two Pike towns protest exclusion from flood plans to spark some action that will calm those fears.

Pike County officials have been contacted and "they should step in and help us," he said. Other priorities for the group include sewage problems and what it calls a lack of adequate fire and police protection. But "the number one priority" is flood protection. The group already has met twice, and the next gathering is scheduled for Monday. Stacy said the group has invited "every Pike County official" to the meeting, including Judge-Executive Paul Patton and Sheriff Charles "Fuzzy" Keesee.

The Corps' Miller said a study is under way for a program that would allow for buying or razing homes in flood-prone areas. But it probably won't be finished until sometime next year, and "it would take about three or four years before anything could be done." Members of the Buskirk-McCarr group also plan to voice their complaints at a meeting Wednesday the Corps has scheduled for the Matewan area. Associated Press -Two Pike Coun-'ty communities that suffered through the floods of 1977 have banded together to protest their ex-l elusion from the Army Corps of flood-protection plans. "As far as we know, they have no plans for us," said Glenna Stacy, co-' chairwoman of the Buskirk-McCarr Community Concerned Citizens Action Group. Residents of the two communities say that about 150 houses in their area were flooded in the late 1970s.

They also fear that a new flood-wall going up in Matewan, W. across the Tug Fork of the Big Sandy River, will push more water onto them. The Matewan floodwall "is not to affect" Pike County residents, said Joe Miller, an Army Corps of Engineers project manager Stationed in Huntington, W.Va..
