  • Oh, what a night for a comeback

    First-year SCHS Head Football Coach Wes Napper had a night to remember Friday. In his first game at the helm, his Bears rallied late in the fourth quarter for a 35-34 victory over East Jessamine in front of a large and excited home crowd. He got the traditional post-game empty-the-water cooler shower from players, and was later given the game ball. Not a bad way to start a season, not to mention a career.

  • Plum Creek Baptist begins Angel Food ministry

    Wanda Husband may have a lot of reasons to take advantage of the Angel Food Ministries program, but the real reason, she said, is the food is so yummy.

    For the past several months, Husband and about two dozen other members of Plum Creek Baptist Church have been participating regularly in a trial run of the non-profit food program. They place an order for a week or more worth of food at a reduced price and pick it up at a designated time each month.

    “It’s a wonderful program, affordable food and it tastes good,” said Husband.

  • Christ can bring and sustain love in your marriage

    This morning I woke up thinking about real true love. A few month’s ago I was ordained a Baptist preacher. When I got home I told my wife, Roberta, “You know, hon, you have been married to a sheriff, a judge, and now a preacher.” She said, “Yes, but, you know, I married a sawmiller.” I said, “You know, you are right.”

  • Fatal crash on Grays Run Rd.

    A Taylorsville man died Sunday afternoon when the car he was driving struck a tree on Grays Run Road.

    Kevin L. Hatzman, 45, was traveling north on the road when a wheel dropped off the shoulder. According to a Kentucky State Police report, that is when Hatzman over-corrected and crossed the southbound lane. His 2002 Camry then left the roadway and struck a tree.

    Spencer County Coroner Danny Hilbert pronounced Hatzman dead at the scene from multiple, blunt-force trauma due to the crash. Authorities said that family members were first to arrive and began CPR.

  • LETTER: Relay thanks, again

    In thanking all of the American Cancer Society’s 2009 Relay for Life Teams, I incorrectly named the “Highview Angels” as the “Hillview Angels”.  We do appreciate their hard work in making Relay the success it was.   The participants from Highview Church are an important part of our community and we thank them for participating.
