PROPOSAL, from front Equestrian Games that Hughes said hundreds of thousands of people will flock to Lexington for and will need other plac-: es to stay and house their horses. He wants Lincoln County to get in on the opportunity. "Our people are ready to put down the money for the whole thing, but they're not going to do it if (Lincoln County) cannot settle the alcohol issue," Hughes said.

He said he could not name his business partners. at this time. "It's a major project for the state, not just Lincoln County," Hughes added. The location of Lincoln County, he said, is perfect to handle the type of traffic that would be in and out of the resort area. "Demographics show that the (U.S.) 150 and 127 corridors: act as a perfect location," Hughes said.

"Why give it to Lexington, Louisville, Cincinnati?" Hughes said there is a possibility of Professional Golfer's Association tour stops and some of the 40 homes selling for up to $4.5 to $5 million. He added that 11 already have been promised. He said he and his partners have approached state and local representatives. "They don't think Lincoln County would ever do it," he said. He continues to call himself an "eternal optimist," though.

"I don't think Lincoln County is ready to address the alcohol issue," said Stanford Mayor Bill Miracle. Hughes said he and his partners are looking to make a decision in the next couple of weeks. He thinks he can hold off his partners on a decision until then. His purpose Thursday night, he said, was to get the word out in hopes someone will help move along the alcohol issue. Council members asked how such a big project could be kept quiet.

"We kept it that way," Hughes said. "This type of project you have to keep under wraps." The majority of the land Hughes refers to developing is in the county. Judge Buck- wheat Gilbert said he's all for progress but doesn't Know if Hughes is for real. Gilbert said Hughes has approached him in the past about a similar project, and he knows Hughes has approached other governing entities in other counties, too, with no result. "I don't know what to make of it," Gilbert said.

"I hope he's for real. After a while you've got to come with something." Gilbert said he referred Hughes to Sen. Ed Worley, D-Richmond, whom Hughes did meet with. Miracle asked Hughes to come back to the City Council meeting in November with more information and some of his partners for further discussion. SHEPHERDSVILLE (AP) Louise Ogborn has waited more than three years to find out who, if anybody, will be held responsible for strip searching and sexually abusing her at a back office at a McDonald's.

The jury deliberated just A resolution passed in August by Stanford City Council to create the group stated how members would be selected according to the partnership shared by the city, the county and the Logan's Fort Foundation. The fort will be built on Stanford's property at the end of Martin Luther King Boulevard that includes the old ice house and springs. The city will maintain ownership of the property and right to the springs in time of emergency declared by the city.

Plans for the park have to be approved by the city. Once the fort is complete, the group will be abolished and the city will partner with Logan's Fort Foundation for everyday operation.

When someone from the audience asked if the "Third Street Structure Project" was ready to accept donations, Adams said the group is "looking for a 1-profit to take the lead." Adams said he is pursuing a $5,000 federal grant "to save buildings in dire circumstances" that requires a local match. Adams said he hopes to put enough pieces together to make a proposal Tuesday to Fiscal Court, which has already unanimously voted to provide financial backing.

Jurors had multiple questions on Thursday, FORT, from front 90-by-150-foot fort according to dimensions from Draper's Manuscripts.

"Building the fort is our first priority," said Jim Baughman, chairman of the council. "It's a build-it, theywill-come type of thing." Baughman said future projects are planned, but for now, all focus is on the fort. Baughman said the council has approval to use cedar trees from the industrial park property. A log master who has worked with historic log cabins will be hired. The fort will be as authentic as possible, with no electricity.

Baughman said reconstruction of Logan's Fort will complete the trilogy of Kentucky's early history Fort Harrod, Fort Boonesboro and now Logan's Fort. Re-enactments and authentic period camping could help bolster tourism. CABIN, from front you feel. I know it is hard to sink money into what you feel." Crabtree got some backing from Andy Mills of American Antique Cabin who said he's taken down about 100 old buildings. Though Mills said he could not be certain of the cabin's age, he said its characteristics most resemble pre-1800 construction.

The fact that the Third Street cabin has gone through several changes through the years also indicates it's been around a long time, he said. "As you take the building down, you'll discover a lot more. It's like reading a book backwards," Mills said. "The date, to me, HUB, from front "I've had several calls from people who are interested in living there, and it's not set up for that," Davis said. Several businesses have inquired about space, but negotiations are not yet under way with anyone.

The space will probably lease for roughly a square foot. The second floor of the building has 9,500 square feet, and the third floor has 7,800 square feet all of which will be used as professional office space. The annex space behind "All this has an enormous impact on the community," Baughman said. "Kentucky has a tourism push, and this would be part of that." Baughman said council members hope to start construction in April and have a fully operable attraction by July 4. With the 2010 World Equestrian Games planned for Lexington, Baughman said the opportunity for tourism will be big for Lincoln County and the fort.

Restoring history seems to be reason enough, though, for rebuilding Logan's Fort, Baughman said. The project is important "so future generations will keep alive the history of this community for future generations." Other members of the council include Vice-Chairman George Saufley, Secretary Irene Jaggers, Treasurer June Bastin, Eddie Carter, George Reid Jr. and Steve Dozier. doesn't matter so much as protecting the history. Save that thing if you can." It will take an estimated $20,000 to catalogue the cabin's pieces and 1 get them into storage.

Mills said it would about $100 per square foot to reassemble it, putting an estimated $160,000 price tag on the project. Johnson said there should be plenty of grant money available to pay for reconstructing the cabin. Of more immediate concern is coming up with the money to disassemble and store it. "We ought to take care of the first part ourselves as a community," Johnson said. Owners Ed and Pat Hays, who want to build a new The Hub could be used for retail space.

"On the Fourth Street side, it could be a nice gift shop or something like that," Davis said." Haysfield currently has that area furnished as a lobby because it is the public entrance to access elevators to the second and third Anyone interested in leasing space in the building can call Davis at (859) 433-1567 to set up a tour. Parking for The Hub and the new surgical center in the Gilcher building next door will be available in the parking garage that's going up behind the property. SURGERY, from front spokesman, said the fourth floor will be the Central Kentucky Surgery Center, and the third and second floors will be administrative office space for medical center employees. "The first floor is earmarked for physician offices, and even perhaps some retail," Nickens said. "Those agreements have not been finalized." Nickens said the physician space will be private practice offices, and chances are those doctors will have privileges at the surgical center.

McDowell is, expecting a certificate of occupancy to be issued this week, which means all inspections have taken place and the contractor turns the building over to the owner. "That's only the fourth floor of the Gilcher," Taylor said, adding that it's the only floor to that point of completion. "It should probably be three weeks or so that the staff will get all the equipment into the area, the supplies in, go through orienta, tion. So probably by the first week of November, we'll have what the retail calls a 'soft opening." Taylor said at first the surgical center will operate on a limited schedule. The parking structure being built behind the building has much to do with the opening.

"The city has been very accommodating and said that if the structure isn't open by the beginning of December, they will reserve some drop-off and pickup spaces for patients on Main Street," Taylor said. Julie Wagner of the Heart of Danville said the structure is on schedule. "They will start working through the final 'punch list' soon," Wagner said, referring to minor details that need to be changed or corrected. "There may be a little crunch at first in downtown since the surgery center will be open one day a week starting in mid-November, until the parking structure is completely open," Wagner said. LEXINGTON (AP) A Lexington man has pleaded guilty to three brutal slayings and the rape of a retired school teacher.

Robert F. Smallwood, 33, of Lexington, will spend the rest of his life in prison without the possibility of parole, according to the plea agreement reached Thursday in Fayette Circuit Court. Smallwood was expected to be tried later this month for the 1993 rape of an 83-year-old retired school teacher. The victim has since died of natural causes.
