(Mason County Post) &#8212; The Maysville Commission on Human Rights, in partnership with the Buffalo Trace Homeless Coalition, is planning the launch of a new community initiative aimed at shining a light on the growing number of individuals experiencing homelessness in the Buffalo Trace region and fostering greater community support and action.</p><p>The initiative comes at a time when local service providers report increased demand for housing assistance, outreach, and supportive services across Mason, Bracken, Fleming, Lewis, and Robertson counties. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1C4MtY2Zqa/?mibextid=wwXIfr">Organizations like Welcome House</a>, a key partner in the region, have expanded street outreach, rapid re-housing efforts, and emergency shelter capacity in recent years to meet these needs.</p><p>&#8220;This Initiative represents a vital step forward in addressing homelessness not just as a housing issue, but as a fundamental human rights concern,&#8221; Brey Foster a member on the Maysville Commission on Human Rights said in response to a request for comment by <em>Mason County Post</em>. &#8220;We&#8217;ve seen a noticeable rise in the number of folks who are considered unhoused, and it&#8217;s essential that our community comes together to raise awareness, reduce stigma, and build pathways to stable housing and support services.&#8221;</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

Their paths diverged in college &#8212; Miller to the University of Kentucky and Lofton to the University of Tennessee &#8212; but they remain deeply connected to their hometown.</p><p>Darius Miller played a key role on Kentucky&#8217;s 2012 NCAA National Championship team. The 6&#8217;7&#8221; wing was drafted 46th overall by the New Orleans Hornets (now Pelicans) in 2012 and enjoyed a solid professional career that included time with the Oklahoma City Thunder. Since retiring from playing, Miller has stayed active in the basketball community, running training programs in Lexington with plans to expand youth sports initiatives.</p><p>Chris Lofton, a 6&#8217;2&#8221; sharpshooting guard, is one of the greatest long-range shooters in SEC history. He earned SEC Player of the Year honors in 2007, was a consensus All-American, and set numerous 3-point records at Tennessee. His No. 5 jersey was retired by the Volunteers in 2023. Lofton overcame a cancer diagnosis during his college career and has since become a beloved figure in Kentucky basketball circles, frequently seen at high school games.</p><p><strong>Giving Back Through Basketball</strong></p><p>The annual skills camp, now in its 13th year, has become a cornerstone event for young athletes in the region. It offers instruction across skill levels for kids ages 7&#8211;14, emphasizing not just basketball fundamentals but also character and community values.</p><p>Miller and Lofton were joined by their parents for the ceremony, underscoring the family and hometown roots that continue to shape their post-playing lives. As one observer noted, spending time in central Kentucky often means crossing paths with these local legends &#8212; proof of their enduring presence and influence.</p><p>This recognition highlights more than athletic achievement. It celebrates two men who have translated success on the court into meaningful contributions off it, inspiring the next generation in the very community that nurtured their talents.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.masoncountypost.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading!

(Mason County Post) &#8212; Carlson Software, a longtime Maysville-based leader in surveying, mapping, and civil engineering software, is taking a significant step forward by expanding into the design and manufacturing of unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and advanced drone technology.</p><p>The move addresses growing demand for high-quality, American-made drone solutions in key industries including surveying, aerial mapping, mining, construction, and defense. By bringing production in-house, the company aims to fill a gap in U.S.-manufactured options while enhancing quality control and innovation.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.masoncountypost.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading!

It is here where we will continue to grow.&#8221;</p><p>The expansion is expected to create new technical jobs in the Maysville area, including roles in engineering, assembly, quality assurance, and operations. It builds on Carlson Software&#8217;s longstanding commitment to its historic hometown, with prior investments in local landmarks such as Limestone Park, the Parc Cafe, and Kenton Stories with Spirit, a local bookstore and bourbon bar.</p><p>The announcement was highlighted in a conversation with Max Moran, a Morehead State University graduate in Space Engineering and a community advocate focused on aerospace and local growth.</p><p>&#8220;What Carlson Software has built here in Maysville over the years is a testament to what local innovation and dedication to community can accomplish,&#8221; Moran said. &#8220;Hearing firsthand about this company&#8217;s history and where it is headed with the drone and UAV work and the investment in our people, it&#8217;s exactly the kind of growth our city needs.&#8221;</p><p>Carlson Software plans to begin mass production of its new UAV and drone lines in the third quarter of 2026. The company already offers related tools for drone data processing and integration in surveying workflows, positioning it well for this vertical expansion.</p><p>This development underscores Kentucky&#8217;s growing role in advanced manufacturing and aerospace technology, bringing high-tech jobs and innovation to the region while strengthening domestic supply chains for critical drone applications.</p><p><em>Based on reporting by LEX18: <a href="https://www.lex18.com/news/covering-kentucky/kentucky-based-company-carlson-software-expanding-into-drone-and-uav-manufacturing">here</a></em></p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.masoncountypost.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading!

(Mason County Post) &#8212; Local actors have a golden opportunity to star in a festive new SAG feature film that will be shot right in the heart of downtown Maysville this summer. The producers of <em>All That Glitters at Christmas</em> have opened casting from June 1 through July 2, 2026, seeking senior performers who can work on location in the charming riverside town. The production pays SAG scale rates and will not provide travel or accommodation, making it ideal for Maysville-area talent.</p><p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/share/17qfqFeFEt/?mibextid=wwXIfr">Filming will take place primarily</a> downtown, with plans to include a mock Christmas parade that promises to bring holiday magic to the streets of Maysville months ahead of the season. </p><p>The feel-good story follows a stressed-out Wall Street widower who swaps his fast-paced finance career for small-town ministry, taking over a quirky local church that needs to be decked out for Christmas. His unlikely ally &#8212; and potential love interest &#8212; is the vibrant owner of a craft store who hasn&#8217;t stepped inside a church since she was left at the altar. Together, they navigate a glittering whirlwind of glue guns, holiday decorations, faith, family, and romance.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!HQai!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F33b4dd29-1634-4f0e-b61b-8e06fadb2ff9_2048x1536.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!HQai!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F33b4dd29-1634-4f0e-b61b-8e06fadb2ff9_2048x1536.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!HQai!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F33b4dd29-1634-4f0e-b61b-8e06fadb2ff9_2048x1536.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!HQai!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F33b4dd29-1634-4f0e-b61b-8e06fadb2ff9_2048x1536.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!HQai!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F33b4dd29-1634-4f0e-b61b-8e06fadb2ff9_2048x1536.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!HQai!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F33b4dd29-1634-4f0e-b61b-8e06fadb2ff9_2048x1536.jpeg" width="1456" height="1092" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/33b4dd29-1634-4f0e-b61b-8e06fadb2ff9_2048x1536.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:1092,&quot;width&quot;:1456,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:843808,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/jpeg&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false,&quot;topImage&quot;:true,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://www.masoncountypost.com/i/199721954?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F33b4dd29-1634-4f0e-b61b-8e06fadb2ff9_2048x1536.jpeg&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!HQai!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F33b4dd29-1634-4f0e-b61b-8e06fadb2ff9_2048x1536.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!HQai!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F33b4dd29-1634-4f0e-b61b-8e06fadb2ff9_2048x1536.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!HQai!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F33b4dd29-1634-4f0e-b61b-8e06fadb2ff9_2048x1536.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!HQai!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F33b4dd29-1634-4f0e-b61b-8e06fadb2ff9_2048x1536.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw" fetchpriority="high"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg aria-hidden="true" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a><figcaption class="image-caption">Film Production for &#8216;All That Glitters at Christmas&#8217;

Now that the primary is over and the big race begins, I think now is the appropriate time for you to explain to all the people of Mason County why My Mom (Peggy Frame) dropped out of her re-election race for County Commissioner and the role you played in that decision.&#8221;</p><p>He goes on to allege that Sheppeck provided Peggy Frame with &#8220;misinformation and lies&#8221; during phone conversations and an in-person meeting at her home.
