Escapee from Marion prison captured in Elizabethtown Joseph Blan, who escaped from Marion Adjustment Center on Thursday, June 7, 2007, was captured today, Friday, June 8, by the Elizabethtown Police Department and was lodged in the the Hardin County Detention Center. The story began around 5:40pm on Thursday, June 7, when Kentucky State Police received a report from the Lebanon Police Department about an escapee from Marion Adjustment Center. He had been last seen at around 1:30pm on Thursday. Blan was being held on burglary charges. Sometime around 8pm last night, the Elizabethtown Police got into a pursuit of a vehicle believed to have been stolen from Marion County. The driver fled the scene but was believed to be Blan. The latest KSP report does not say whether or not Blan continues to the suspect in that theft. Trooper Nathan Rhodes of Kentucky State Police Post 15, Columbia, KY, headed the local area search. Story information courtesy Dwaine Barnett, Kentucky State Police Post 15, 1118 Jamestown ST, (at Exit 49, Louie B. Nunn Parkway), Columbia, KY.

This group of 4, 5, and 6 graders all came together to put on quite a show for everyone who came out to support them. Getting costumes together, rehearsing their lines with one another, making sure they knew their places, and where to enter from was all in order for the premier and only performance on May 31, 2007. Cast Members were as follows: Shauna Akin as Newscaster 2, Taylor Burton as Glenda, Meagan Coomer as the Scarecrow, Hailey England as a Field Reporter, Jason Thrasher as a Fiddler, Mackenzie Martin as Professor Marvel, Sara Davis as the Wicked Witch of the West, Brittany Martinez as the Tin Man, Sarah Howard as a Fiddler, Abby Walker as the Lion, Ellen Hodge as Lullaby League, Dustin Morgan as the Wizard of Oz, and Rebekah York as Dorothy.
