RCHS sophomore Autumn King had an exceptional performance in the freshman division of the New Balance National Championships in Greensboro, North Carolina this past weekend. She went for the win in long jump on Friday, jumping well enough to win the event but fouled slightly in each attempt. Her regional championship jump of 18' would have won the event. She came back in the triple jump competition on Sat- urday with a great jump of 34'9", good enough for 15th place. Her state championship title jump of 36'5" would have placed her sixth overall.

The Local Board was charged to distribute funds appropriated by Congress to help expand the capacity of food and shelter programs in high-need areas around the country. A local board made up of local government and charitable organizations will determine how the funds awarded to Rockcastle Co. are to be distributed among the emergency food and shelter programs run by local service agencies in the area. The local board is responsible for recommending agencies to receive these funds and any additional funds available under this phase of the program. Under the terms of the grant from the National Board, local agencies chosen to receive funds must: 1) be private voluntary non-profits or units of government, 2) be eligible to receive federal funds, 3) have an accounting system, 4) practice nondiscrimination, 5) have demonstrated the capability to deliver emergency food and/or shelter programs, and 6) if they are a private voluntary organization, they must have a voluntary board. Qualifying agencies are urged to apply. Rockcastle Co. has distributed emergency food and shelter funds previously with Daniel Boone Community Action Agency, Inc. participating. This agency was responsible for helping families with mortgage/rental assistance and utilities. Public or private voluntary agencies interested in applying for Emergency Food and shelter Program Funds must contact Tamara Cox, 105 E. Main Street Box 7, Mt. Vernon, Kentucky 40456 for an application. The deadline for applications to be received is July 15, 2017. Pg. A6 • Mount Vernon Signal • Thursday, June 29, 2017
