 You need a financial advisor with the freedom to focus on your specific needs. Whatever your goals, Reid Potter can create a game plan tailored to you. Call Reid at 432-0777 at Pikeville, Kentucky to learn more. Retired U.S. Air Force Major Jason Belcher has been appointed as the new executive director of the Big Sandy Heritage Museum Board. Belcher is a Pike County native and decorated officer who holds a bachelor's in history and masters in international relations. Well, the executive director's role is to manage the staff and the day-to-day operations and kind of set the strategic vision for the organization. So for me, the leadership training that I receive both in the military and the private sector is that's like five years out. So the leader's job is to see where we want the organization to be five years from now and then try to manage the daily flow so that we're moving in that direction. In addition, Belcher has authored two books on history and published dozens of articles and reports including news accounts for the Huffington Post and contributions to the Lexington Herald leader. So the way I see the mission of the organization is to tell yesterday's stories to tomorrow's generations. And if you look out in the academic world, the number of people majoring in history has gone down, significantly down. Yet at the same time, there's a renewed focus and interest on things that have happened in the past. There's a lot of controversy, a lot of disputes about things that happened in the past. So the museum's role and my role here is to help inform and educate the public by providing an experience where you can touch and actually feel different parts of the past for this area, the Big Sandy region. The Big Sandy Heritage Center Museum is open Monday and Thursday through Saturday from 10 to 4 p.m. Entrance is $5 for adults and $3 for students.
