Jamie Walsh and Chris Gartside traveled a long way to share their passion for soccer with young Henry County soccer players this week.

Walsh, from Cardiff, Wales and Gartside, from Manchester, England, are teaching soccer skills across the country this summer as part of the Challenger Sports Program.

Appreciative of the opportunity, moving on

 

When I came to Henry County, I couldn’t have been more excited. I had my first real job in my career and was moving to Louisville with my wife.

Butler will be a junior defensive lineman for the Thomas More Saints this fall.

Last year Butler was named to the Presidents’ Athletic Conference All-Conference first team as he led the Saints in sacks and tackles for loss and was third on the team in total tackles.

Other programs provide assistance, but Durbin wanted to open a food pantry to try to take care of the needs across Henry County.

Henry County is home to many helpers

In my career as a reporter/editor, I tend to learn things organically, by visiting with people in the community and hearing their points of view.

After all, no person can know everything. Going to the sources, to the experts, and getting to benefit from the knowledge they’ve accumulated over the years can open a person’s eyes in short order.

Who says you can’t go home?

I wouldn’t call myself a country music fan. I wouldn’t really say I’m a huge music fan in general. Growing up, my parents would more often than not just drive in silence or have conversation, rather than listen to the radio or CDs.

My grandfather, though, listened to music constantly in the car. When he would pick me up from school, which he did, more than anyone else, we would listen to country music all the way home.
