Henry could tie for first in the district

The Henry County Wildcats could get the top seed in the district tournament, set to start the week of May 20, but who will be the top seed is sill in question.

The Cats fell to Carroll last week, 7-2, leaving both teams with just one loss in district play. While the Cats have completed their district schedule, Carroll has a game to finish against Owen County. The Panthers were leading 8-0 when the game was called because of rain.

The first two innings between the Wildcats and Panthers belonged to the pitchers as both teams had just one base runner.

Lady Cats break slump, beat Spencer

While visiting the cemetery you may notice the headstones marking certain graves have coins on them left by previous visitors to the grave. These coins have distinct meaning when left on the headstones of those who have served or have given their life while serving in America’s military and these meanings vary depending on the denomination of coin.

Stay productive, not busy

By Lance Minnis

Two weeks ago, I went riding on my new bicycle out of Eminence and into the countryside. My thoughts as rambling as my bike, I let my mind wander across the scenery, and whatever fancies occurred as I rode.

As I came cycling over a hill, I saw a man on his expensive zero turn riding mower cutting the grass of an enormous yard. At least 20 acres in size, the poor man must cut that grass at least once per week, at the cost of several hours each time.

First Business Expo is in the books

The Henry County Chamber of Commerce held its first Business Expo even though the spring weather was not the normal variety.

ACT glitch delays testing

School districts throughout the state changed their year-end testing schedules last week after an online glitch prevented students from completing tests.

Nancy Rodriguez, spokeswoman for Kentucky Department of Education, said students across the state will finish with paper and pencil.

“Tuesday and Wednesday several districts reported they were having problems,” Rodriquez said. “The vendor notified us that the problem would be corrected but by Friday we were told that wouldn’t be the case.”
