Dawkins Trail/Vocational education benefit from Lowe's Grants SkillsUSA Schools in Need - grant provides tools and supplies for high school students to build benches to be placed along the Dawkins Line Rail Trail, which covers 18 miles in Johnson and Magoffin counties. The trail opened in 2013 and serves hikers, cyclists and horseback riders. Tables and benches will also be placed at Kentucky State Parks in this region By Gil Lawson FRANKFORT, Ky. - The Kentucky State Parks will be the beneficiary of grants awarded to two eastern Kentucky career and technical education centers by the Lowe's Charitable and Educational Foundation. Kentucky Tech-Floyd County Area Technology Center received a $25,000 grant, and the Kentucky Tech-Millard Area Technology Center received $17,310. The "SkillsUSA Schools in Need" grants will be used for tools and supplies that students will use to make benches and tables for state parks in the region. The focus for SkillsUSA Lowe's grants is to provide schools assistance for a variety of needs, such as the necessary equipment to assist in specific educational endeavors including community service projects. "We appreciate the support from Lowe's, the SkillsUSA program, these schools and most importantly, the students who are doing the work," said Parks Commissioner Elaine Walker. "This is a great example of young people providing a community service that will serve local residents as well as our guests." Walker, school district officials and Lowe's representatives made the announcement today at Lowe's stores in Pikeville and Paintsville. "We're very proud of these two successful grant recipients and the students they serve," said Dale Winkler, associate commissioner, Kentucky Department of Education. "Our partnership with Lowe's, through SkillsUSA and the Kentucky State Parks, will serve the future of these young people and sets an example of the many good things that can happen through collaborative efforts." Winkler also noted the work of the schools' principals, Lenville Martin at Floyd County ATC and Jim Bob Hamilton at Millard ATC, along with Floyd County ATC's SkillsUSA advisor and SkillsUSA Beginning Advisor of the Year, Justin Trout. "These people are the ones on the front lines who are responsible for making sure these projects get done," he said. "We just couldn't do these types of ventures if not for them." The benches will be placed along the Dawkins Line Rail Trail, which covers 18 miles in Johnson and Magoffin counties, but will eventually cover 36 miles when completed. The trail opened in 2013 and serves hikers, cyclists and horseback riders. Tables and benches will also be placed at Kentucky State Parks in this region.
