School fights spur safety sweep

Following multiple fights last week at Spencer County High School and rumors that students might bring knives and possibly a gun to school Monday, local law enforcement set up backpack and pocket checks going into the high school Monday morning.
Members of the Taylorsville Police Department, the Spencer County Sheriff’s Department and the Kentucky State Police searched backpacks and had students empty their pockets into searchable pans as they came through the front doors of the school, Taylorsville Police Chief Toby Lewis said.

COLUMN: Cut flowers from the...

The cool spring has finally ushered in May flowers. I love cut flowers from the garden. There is a simple, happy satisfaction that comes from picking a bundle of peonies for the kitchen worktable. Just be sure to shake the ants off first.
The other thing about a cool spring with adequate rain fall is that the weather is acting as a sort of preservative: all those beautiful blooms are lasting much longer than normal.

COLUMN: Make sense through the...

It was foggy this morning as I walked the dog.  It wasn’t that dense, “can’t see your hand in front of your face,” kind of fog. In fact you could only tell it was there if you looked across the street, the neighbors house was just a little blurry. But then looking out a little farther, things got more indistinct, until finally everything just disappeared.

Matherly named to Bellarmine...

Bellarmine University recently announced that Lindsey Brooke Matherly, daughter of Lee Anne Day-Ballard and Robert Matherly, made the dean’s list for the 2012 fall semester and the 2013 spring semester. The recognition is merited because, as a full time student, Matherly achieved a 3.5 GPA or above and completed at least 15 hours per semester for a total of 30 hours over two semesters.
Matherly is a 2012 graduate of Spencer County High School, a pre-nursing major and hopes to become a neonatal nurse practioner.
