I am writing this letter to inform the Community of Taylorsville that April is Alcohol Awareness Month. Spring is just days away now, high school seniors are winding down and thoughts now turn to celebrating those achievements and many will feel pressure to drink alcohol during prom and graduation night activities.

The statewide Spring cleaning week, March 21-28, gives every county the opportunity to spruce up their county for the anticipated summer visitors. We want Spencer County to look spiffy to encourage people to tell their friends and family how great Spencer County is. We have some prime areas for viewing nature here in our county. It is a shame if the view is obstructed by trash and litter.

The title of this article is true…. sometimes…. but not all the time. For example, if you don’t have a head- ache and are feeling fine you probably wouldn’t take medicine for a headache or if your phone is working fine you wouldn’t take it to a repair shop. But there are some things in life that you would “repair” or do some regular maintenance or preventative maintenance on. For example, it is a good idea to change the oil and filter in your car regularly. It is a good idea to brush your teeth regularly.

The Spencer County Lady Bears’ regional tournament game against Simon Kenton was in many ways a reflection of the entire program in recent years and while the end result wasn’t ideal, the progress and improvement has been unmistakable.

In the first quarter against the Lady Pioneers, Spencer County fell behind early and simply looked outmatched, unable to score, unable to defend and unable to compete. At the end of the first quarter, they trailed 25-1.
