A section of pavement was ripped away exposing this roadbed on the Fayette / Montgomery County Line, on New Bethel Avenue in rural Ramsey. The cause was heavy rainfall from last Thursdays storms that generated a strong current of flood water from a overflowing nearby creek.
Shawna VanUytven commented “The flood water from this storm
was much worse than the flooding from a few weeks
ago.”

Lions Support Scout Camp Ramsey Lions Club met Monday evening for dinner and business at Ramsey Cafe. President Dan Trout led the meeting and Jimmie Brewer took minutes in the absence of secretary David Hinton. Dale Neisler sat in for treasurer Wes Green. Lions are the sponsoring organization for Boy Scout Troop 121. Scoutmaster Shirley Eddy was a dinner guest and then told about the troop’s plans to attend Scout Camp this summer. Eight scouts and two adults plan to camp and the club, as in previous years, offered $1,000 to help against their expenses. Alan Eddy brought a report about a new 4H club which will specialize in sporting clays. The youth, several of which are from Ramsey, have already shot in several events. Lions donated $500 to the club to help toward the cost of ammunition. Several youth organizations worked in the Community Sale, said president Trout. A list was prepared by sale chairmen Jeff Casey and David Hinton. Lions made monetary donations to Boy Scouts, Senor and Senorita 4H Club and high school groups such as the FFA club, cheerleaders, baseball and softball teams. A dinner is provided for the First National Bank crew that takes care of the sale collecting. Total sale gross this year was $343,300, according to FNB this week. The club realizes a small percentage of profit which all goes back into community improvements the following year. Lions bought eyeglasses for one citizen from a fund supported by a portion of Candy Day proceeds. John Adermann won the 50-50 pot and donated his share to the Lions Scholarship fund. Lions will not meet May 27 which is the Memorial Day holiday. Look for Lions to put up flags for that weekend, as well as Legion flags all the way to west side cemeteries.
