  • Announcing candidacy

    After much prayer, discussions with my wife Debby, other family members and friends, and with the encouragement of many people in the community, I have decided to seek the office of family court judge for Henry, Oldham and Trimble counties.

    As many of you know, becoming family court judge has been a 10-year effort for me. 

    I believe that my background in sociology and my many years of practice in family law uniquely qualify me for this position.

  • Vote for my dad

    My name is Austin Bright, I go to Eminence Middle School and I am 11 years old. My dad is Shawn Bright. 

    I know a lot of you know my dad, but I want to tell you more about him. I believe he is the best dad because he always has been there for me when I needed him. 

    He and I have done a lot together. He taught me how to ride my bike, shoot my BB gun, go fishing and how to be a good kid. I know no matter what he will always love me.

  • Women in leadership

    If Hillary Clinton is sworn in as president of the United States in January 2017, she will join Angela Merkel, the chancellor of Germany, and Theresa May, prime minister of the United Kingdom, as one of the leaders of three of the most powerful nations on earth. 

    We could then proudly say that Thomas Sankara’s statement, “women hold up the other half of the sky,” has literally come true.

  • Feltner responds to AT&T

    Donna Feltner, New Castle

    On June 14, Henry County officials and I met with AT&T. It was my impression, AT&T would stop using Rainbow Weed Killer. Marty Richter told the “Henry County Local” different.

    Marty stated, “We apologize.” Apologies are for stepping on someone’s shoe, not for feeding them chemicals. I’ve heard these apologies before with promises it won’t happen again, but it did.

    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.
