Allie Wilbur, a senior and gifted Lady Tiger soccer player signed a letter of intent with Waynesburg University on Friday to play collegiate soccer for the Lady Yellow Jackets next season after she graduates in May.

Waynesburg University is located in Waynesburg, Pennsylvania.

Joining Wilbur for the signing were members of her family, coach, and fellow players.

In addition to furthering her soccer career, Wilbur plans to study forensic investigation at Waynesburg.

“I will be majoring in forensic investigation and pursuing a career in crime scene investigation,” said Wilbur. “I chose Waynesburg because I felt like it was the best opportunity because I could get the forensic education I wanted, and I could also play soccer at the next level which was a big goal. It is a very good opportunity and I believe I can grow a lot there,” she said.

During her high school years, Wilbur anchored the Lady Tiger Soccer Team on the left wing.

“I have really liked playing for Coach K and the Lady Tigers these past four years. It has been the best years of my life and I have made a lot of close friends. I played the left wing. The left wing is on the outside of the left side of the field, and I pretty much moved the ball up and down that sideline and got it into the middle of the field for the forward and set up goal scoring opportunities,” said Wilbur.

Allie said she developed a love for soccer at an early age and has played the sport since she was little. As a high school soccer standout on the girls’ team, Allie followed in her father Andrew Wilbur’s footsteps who also played soccer at DCHS for Coach K on the boys’ team.

“Allie has been a good captain. She is a silent leader and doesn’t talk a whole lot, but she leads by example,” said DCHS Soccer Coach Dylan Kleparek. “This year she was a real leader for us on the team not only on the field but how she acted, and, in the way, the other girls followed her in that attitude. Allie scored several goals. She played at left wing all four years and was a really hard worker up and down the field. Allie also had a lot of assists where she put the ball in the box and gave other people opportunities to score. She has a strong left leg and is a solid player,” said Coach K.

The fact that Allie was also Coach K’s first, second generation player made his experience coaching her a little extra special too.

“I coached her dad (Andrew) in the boys’ program and to see Allie come through the girls’ program too was pretty awesome. Andrew was on the first couple of teams that I had. After 20 years, I have stuck around long enough to see the next generation and that’s pretty exciting,” he said.

Lincoln Memorial University-DeBusk College of Osteopathic Medicine (LMU-DCOM) student Ashley Dailey, Class of 2022, has received the National Outstanding Medical Student Award from the American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP) and the Emergency Medicine Residents’ Association (EMRA). Dailey is only the second DO student to win the award.

“When I received the call that I had been nominated and selected as a recipient, I was shocked beyond belief,” Dailey said. “Quite frankly, I have struggled with self-confidence throughout my entire medical school journey, and words cannot begin to describe what an honor receiving this award is, especially after looking at the past recipients of this prestigious title.”

Dailey is from Smithville, Tennessee, and received her undergraduate degree from Tennessee Technological University (TTU). Her rotation site is in Morristown, Tennessee, and she is pursuing a career in emergency medicine.

“If my journey through medical school has taught me anything, it’s that working hard and believing in yourself leads to success, and this award is yet just another example of that,” Dailey said.

Dailey, who is president of the LMU-DCOM Class of 2022, earned an MBA and BS degrees in biochemistry and biology health sciences from TTU. Her other honors at LMU-DCOM include Top Quartile Class Rank, Omega Beta Iota Honor Society, Harvey and Lois Schell Endowed Scholarship, Translating Osteopathic Understanding into Community Health Service Hours, Gold Badge, Sigma Sigma Phi Honor Society, LMU Woman of Distinction and Gold Humanism Honor Society.

“My interest in EM was cemented by my desire to have an exposure to all specialties of medicine – not just one,” Dailey said. “I look forward to an intellectually stimulating career and the challenge of providing care to diverse patient populations.”

The DeBusk College of Osteopathic Medicine is located on the campus of Lincoln Memorial University in Harrogate, Tennessee. LMU-DCOM is an integral part of LMU’s values-based learning community and is dedicated to preparing the next generation of osteopathic physicians to provide health care in the often-underserved region of Appalachia and beyond.

USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA) reminds producers of commercial fruits and vegetables they must file application for Noninsured Crop Assistance Disaster (NAP) Program coverage by the March 15, 2022 final sales closing date for the following crops: green beans, sweet corn, tomatoes, potatoes, okra, squash, peas, pumpkins, peppers, watermelons, cucumbers, cantaloupes, and hemp.

NAP provides catastrophic level (CAT) coverage based on the amount of loss that exceeds 50 percent of expected production at 55 percent of the average market price for the crop. The 2018 Farm Bill authorizes additional coverage levels ranging from 50 to 65 percent of production, in 5 percent increments, at 100 percent of the average market price. Additional coverage must be elected by a producer by the application closing date. Producers who elect additional coverage must pay a premium in addition to the service fee. Crops intended for grazing are not eligible for additional coverage.

Eligible producers must apply for coverage using form CCC-471, “Application for Coverage,” and pay the applicable service fee at the FSA office. The application and service fee must be filed by the application closing date. For all coverage levels, the NAP service fee is the lesser of $325 per crop or $825 per producer per administrative county, not to exceed a total of $1,950. Producers can elect increases coverage for additional premiums,” said Donny Green, County Executive Director of the DeKalb-Cannon County Farm Service Agency.

Beginning, limited resource, socially disadvantaged and qualifying veterans are eligible for a waiver of the service fee and a 50 percent premium reduction when they file form CCC-860. A “beginning farmer” is defined as a person who has not operated a farm for more than 10 years, and materially and substantially participates in the operation. For 2022, in DeKalb and Cannon counties, a “limited resource farmer” is defined as having gross farm sales less than or equal to $189,200 per year in each of the tax years 2019 and 2020 and less than $29,419 (Cannon Co.) or $26,500 (DeKalb Co.) in total household adjusted gross income each tax year 2019 and 2020. A “socially disadvantaged farmer” is defined as a farmer who is a member of groups such as: American Indians, Alaskan Natives, Asians, Asian Americans, Blacks, African Americans, Native Hawaiians, Pacific Islanders, Hispanics, and Women. A “veteran farmer” is defined as a farmer who has served in the Armed Forces and has operated a farm for less than 10 years, or first obtained status as a veteran during the most recent 10-year period.
