  • Starview: From dairy to nursery

    What began as a family owned dairy farm in 1971 turned into what may be one of Henry County’s best kept secrets.

    Love who?

    Osama bin Laden is dead. The news of his death has given rise to some surprises — at least for me. For one thing, I had grown so used to his being out there and illusive, I truly had not given much thought to his ever being found or to justice ever being done. The news that he had been found and killed by American Armed Forces surprised me.

  • They’re about Tractor Day

    According to the 2011 FFA shirts, the Henry County High School FFA is about Tractor Day, muddy trucks and the FFA. And on Thursday, May 5, they showed what they were about in greens, reds and yellows across new and old makes and models of tractors.

    Delayed by a couple of days, the students had crystal clear weather as they made the annual tractor parade from 4 Seasons BP to the parking lot of Henry County High School, where their fellow students waited to cheer them on.

  • Putting the Capstone in food banks

    The goal to provide better nutrition for the most vulnerable segments of the population starts with fresh produce “from apples to zucchini.”

  • New Castle to offer free Music and Movie at the historic Locker building

    Two adults and two children squeeze into the family’s gas-saving compact car and head for an evening at the Louisville multiplex theaters nearest to Henry County.

    What will it cost?

    In dollars, roundtrip gas could run about $10 plus at least $32 for movie tickets. Then there’s the popcorn and drinks.  If the grown-ups split a large and the little ones each have their own small (they don’t share quietly) the concession stand collects about $18.

    That adds up to $60... not including sales tax.
