The old Taylorsville Elementary School was filled last week with cardboard boxes and movers. Soon it will house only memories as the transition from the old schoolhouse to the new building has begun.

Meanwhile, the new TES, where construction is nearing completion, is filled with workers, dust and movers bringing supplies into the classrooms.

On Thursday, July 13, there is a Community Conversations Movie Night. The library will be showing the film “Millstone Sewing Center” and then discussing how citizens can build a better community in Taylorsville and Spencer County.

We gave up on the raspberries a couple of years ago, the fruit was so perishable and the plants lacked vigor.  We would cut the ‘Royalty’ raspberries all the way to the ground each year and forgo an early crop to manage disease, but it didn’t seem to pay off.  It was never a total loss, but about half the canes would be dried up and diseased by now.
