Track Cats Advance to State

High school track and field athletes work throughout their season with the goal of having their best day at the regional track meet at the end of the year.

With that in mind the Henry County Wildcat track team put that work on to the test last week, ending the season with personal records on May 8 at the Class AA Region 3 track championships hosted by North Oldham High School.

Baseball Warriors fall to Bardstown

The Eminence Warriors baseball team traveled to Bardstown to take on the Tigers for the second time in eight days and fell 15-4.

The Warriors got off to a good start scoring three runs in the first inning. Austin Perry led off with a single and Austin Jones followed with a walk. Trevor Payton came through with a double to drive in the first run.

Cole Lawson hit an RBI single to make it 2-0, with no outs. The next batters failed to reach base before Travis Bell hit an RBI single to score the third run of the inning and giving the Warriors a 3-0 lead.

A good walk can make all the difference

What would you do to take 20 years off your age? The answer may be as simple as walking, according to Barry A. Franklin, Ph.D. in the UK Health Care News.

“Starting at the age of 20, we lose about 1 percent of our aerobic fitness each year,” Dr. Franklin says. “A walking program can improve that fitness from 10 to 20 percent in three months. That’s the same as 10 to 20 years of rejuvenation.”

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.

Sheriff and others to be commended

On Saturday, April 27, Henry County Sheriff Danny Cravens participated in the national Drug Take Back Day.

He and several of his deputies volunteered their time to host the event, which encourages citizens to bring their unwanted or unused prescription medications to a specific location for safe disposal. This protects the homeowner in a number of ways, including theft prevention.

The sign and signs

On a recent Monday morning, one of Donna’s friends stopped by the house to pick her up.  They were headed to Paducah for the annual quilt show held in that city.  I helped Donna load her luggage into her friend’s car and waved them off.

Miracle products and foo foo dust

Increase your profits and production for just pennies per acre. Haven’t we all seen or heard such tempting claims about various products. But is it real?

You know the pitch. Maybe it’s a Bermuda grass that will yield 20 tons per acre. Or a foliar fertilizer that doubles alfalfa production. It could be a soil enhancer that makes water wetter or releases more nutrients from your soil. Or possibly a microbial inoculant that allows you to safely bale or store wet hay.
