By Mike Stunson and Morgan Eads, Lexington Herald-Leader

A Pikeville man who the FBI accused of robbing seven banks in six states in three weeks was apprehended Thursday in Colorado, according to the FBI. Jason Lee Robinson, 49, was arrested without incident in Fruita, Colo., and charged in federal court with bank robbery in connection with a holdup at Capital Bank in Aventura, Fla., in December, the FBI said.

The bank robberies came a month after Robinson was on supervised release from prison, according to court records. He was supposed to be restricted from leaving Kentucky, but his most recent bank thefts took him throughout the country.

Remembering Pat Bell who joined his wife Martha this week

By Rob Collins, Q104 morning radio host

My sister and I wanted to express gratitude to everyone who supported, befriended and cherished our father. We loved him, dearly. But, today [January 23, 2019] he joins our sweet mother [Martha Collins Bell]. He lived a long and spectacular life and we are so going to miss him. We are incredibly grateful for family, friends, physicians, nurses, specialists and all of the remarkable caregivers who have been so incredibly generous to our father and to us.

We are also very blessed to know that our hero is in peace and that his life has been so richly honored and celebrated by such a wonderful community of caring individuals, nephews, nieces, cousins and the endless number of people who called him friend. We thank for your prayers, visits, cards, letters, e-mails, texts and we want each of you to know that we have been recipients of your genuine love. Thank you, so much.

Letter: Biscuit Making

By Larry Clark

Debra taught me this recipe. I too use White lily self rising Flour.

I have a 2 quart measuring bowl, in that I put enough flour to make seven biscuits, plus I have a few left over as you can see by the picture.

In the flour I put a large hen-egg-sized piece of Crisco. Wash hands. I then work the flour, by hand, until it feels like coarse meal.
