  • First time out for EHS

    After a delay in opening the 2010 track season, the Eminence Warriors officially started the season at the Oldham County All-Comers last Thursday night.

    Steve Frommeyer, the team’s head coach who is also the school’s principal and head football coach, said he was pleased with Eminence’s performance, especially considering he mostly had middle schoolers competing at the high school-level meet. For most of the Eminence athletes, it was their first-ever meet and just the second time they had been on a track.

  • Documentary twists the truth

    Earlier this year, Mr. Michael Pollan was nominated for an Oscar on a documentary full of lies. Not every documentary film sticks with the full, straight to the point facts/truth. There isn’t a law that states that. For this movie, Food Inc., is filled with lies about America’s farmers and food suppliers. How can a topic that can be so strongly focused on, be blown so out of proportion based on these lies? What can we as farmers do with this situation?

  • Thank you to the City of New Castle

    I would like to thank the New Castle mayor and members of the City Commission for joining into a contract with Liberty Communications, allowing them to install high speed internet transmitters on the New Castle water tower. This will be a great service to the rural citizens of Henry County, allowing us to get away from slow, slow dial-up at a reasonable cost.

    If anyone is interested in high speed internet, please call Liberty Communications at 859-393-8995 or 1-866-505-7332.

  • Ethington has a family too

    This side of the story is nothing short of a tragedy. But every story has two sides. David Ethington had family in the court room too that also cried. He also has two sons that are still crying and a daughter too young to know what is going on. Our family has been life long friends of Dago and this has forever changed our lives as well. While I don’t agree with the choices that the two of them made on that night, they were just that, their choices. There isn’t a day that goes by that David doesn’t think about the choice he made.

  • Response to Bob Cook’s accusations relating to building permits

    As your Judge-Executive, one issue that I have wrestled with is at what point do you publicly respond to mistruths, false accusations, rumors, etc. If you responded to every one of them you would spend all of your time writing letters to the paper and none of your time making sure the business of the county was getting done. Due to the practicality of writing responses it has been my policy to let most of it go, but occasionally you have something that gets blown so out of proportion that you have no choice but to sit down and try to address it the best you can.

  • Warriors play best game of season in 15-13 loss to Berea

    In their best baseball game this season, the Eminence Warriors batted .303 as a team, had 10 hits, struck out twice and committed just two errors. But it wasn’t enough as the Warriors took a 15-13 loss to Berea on Saturday afternoon in an offensive-dominated showdown.

    Berea scored 11 runs in the third inning alone and held off Eminence in the final inning to win by two runs. It was an improvement for the Warriors, who dropped to 0-5 with the loss.
