    P.J. Steffen eagerly read from his assignment book to the closest visitor, but she could do little more than smile and pat him on the head, as she couldn’t understand him.

    The visitor, along with nine others, hailed from the Ternopil region of the Ukraine, and spoke no English.

    The visitors were on hand in Henry County Monday to learn a little more about the American Educational system. Their trip was sponsored by the World Affairs Council of Kentucky/Southern Indiana.

  • Take a trip through time

    As time continues to fly by, many of us have made the comment, “I really would like to go to (fill in the blank with your favorite dream).” One thing we all know is that if we don’t go ahead and realize our dream, we may never have the opportunity to experience the wonders of travel.

    Even in Henry County we have a travel agent who is ready to help us use that time we have left to create a once (or twice or more) experience. Take the Time Travel, located in Lockport, will help you get it all together at a reasonable price.

  • One year later - ALS is breaking even

    General Manager

    A little more than one year after advanced life support ambulance services became available in Henry County, officials agree it was worth the initial debate and added cost.
