| May 21, 2005 is a date many at the North Oldham Fire Department will always remember. It was early morning and everyone was finishing up all the little details on the new Goshen Station. You see, today was the station dedication ceremony, where the public was invited to witness the changing of the flags, the honoring of the many who helped build the new facility and take the first tours. We were all there standing at attention doing our duty for the public as we always do. After all it was our honor for them to attend and show how much they appreciate our volunteering. As evening set in, most went home to relax, just as John Detherage did. |

| The Flying Cross Horse Trials take place in Skylight, Kentucky at the end of September each year. The farm is named after a Flying Cross recipient, J. Allen Northcutt. Arborcare participates in the horse trials by purchasing advertising in the show program and by volunteering as a judge. Combined training is a wonderful opportunity for young people to be active in a sport that builds strong character, teaches responsibility and is highly competitive. Arborcare also participates in the Spring Run Horse Trials as well as the Pony Club Hunter shows. |

It was about 10:30 pm when John heard a loud crash just down the road, very close by. Calling
911 immediately he reported that an accident just occurred. Leaving the driveway in his truck, he
saw a car upside down in the creekbed on fire. Along with two other bystanders John had to
rescue a trapped, unconscious driver form the burning wreck. Click "whole story" to read on.
