 The long-awaited Samsung Galaxy S8 has arrived at Appalachian Wireless. Get yours for the introductory price of just $149.99 with a two-year service agreement, better service, bigger savings. That's today's Appalachian Wireless, an East Kentucky network company. During executive session at tonight's Pikeville City Commission meeting, 13-year Pikeville City Manager, Donovan Blackburn, tendered his resignation to the commissioners as he has accepted a position at Pikeville Medical Center as assistant CEO. And as life goes at times, new opportunities present himself. And there's a time for you to take advantage of those opportunities. When you looked at, so grows the city, so has Pikeville Medical Center. Under the wonderful leadership of their board of directors, through the direction of Walter May has taken an institution and has really created a mega facility that adds tremendous value to this community. Although Blackburn is leaving some big shoes to fill, the city has been prepared in case of such an event. Under his leadership a year or two ago, we put a couple of deputy city commissioners in place and we moved some people around for this very reason. Hopefully it will never come, but we want to be prepared and not be left without. So tonight we have voted for Philip Ellswick to be the interim city manager under Donovan's guidance for the next 30 to 60 days. Blackburn's last day with the city will be announced at a later time.
