    DAVA honors vets

    The Henry County Disabled American Veterans Auxiliary held a countywide Memorial Day Service in honor of Henry County military personnel killed in action. For a second-time event, we had a great turnout and we appreciate everyone who took time from their holiday to honor our local heroes.

    During our program we read the names of each Henry Countian who was killed in action from World War I through Operation Desert Shield. If you know the names of other Henry County military personnel who were killed in action, please call (502) 222-4365.

  • America meant to be Christian nation

    In December 1791, the Bill of Rights was ratified by the states. Sixty-three years later, the establishment of religion was explained in Congress. 

    The Supreme Court of 1962 got it wrong. 

    America as a nation was founded on Judeo-Christian principles and it will not survive if we derive from that foundation.

  • Thanks for support

    The Henry County FFA Chapter and Alumni Chapter would like to sincerely give a special thanks to our Henry County community. We have been blessed with a supportive crowd for Burger Bash this year.

    We’d like to thank all general volunteers, the cooks and persons/businesses who donated their time and items to allow Burger Bash to be a hit yet again. 

    The silent and live auction went great.

  • The true nature of Bernie Sanders and Socialism

    Last week, I read an article in the Letter to the Editor section of the Henry County Local titled “Voting for Bernie.” 

    In this letter, the author tries to significantly downplay the true nature of “Democratic Socialism” and Bernie Sanders. The author compares Sen. Sanders to Franklin D. Roosevelt, saying Bernie’s policies would be similar to FDR’s New Deal.

  • Thumbs up to EIS

    I would like to thank and commend Mr. Metcalfe and his students [at Eminence Independent Schools] for the projects they are doing at our cemetery. 

    It’s been long overdue and to think it took someone not born and raised here to see a reason to bring something together that has always been known as separate. This is a great teaching moment for the kids. It’s the kids who will learn from this because they are our future and that’s where change will come from.

    Well done and keep up the good work.

  • Voting for Bernie

    I was pleased to see other folks in the county are familiar with Bernie Sanders.

    I have recognized that some folks are confused about Bernie’s identifying as a “Democratic Socialist.”  Please do not be fooled into substituting “communism” for “socialism.”
