Retail food prices rise

Retail food prices across the Commonwealth continued their year-long pattern of growth in the fourth quarter of 2014 according to the Kentucky Farm Bureau (KFB) Federation’s latest Marketbasket Survey. The December 2014 survey results identified the total cost of 40 basic grocery items as $129.14, or 1.7 percent higher than the previous quarter.

Who's number 2?

Before last night’s Henry County-Gallatin County matchup, which finished too late for today’s edition, the boys’ 31st District seeding picture was still very murky. Only Owen County knows their fate going into the district tournament. At 7-0, the Rebels will be the top seed and have a bye into the semifinals.

The Eminence Warriors girls’ basketball team traveled to Carroll County Thursday night to take on the Lady Panthers and fell 55-25.

The Lady Panthers started the game in a full court press that forced the Warriors into several turnovers that led to easy baskets.

“We didn’t get off to a good start,” coach Zach Adair said. “We turned the ball over a lot and that led to layups for them. A lot of our turnovers were unforced, we were just sloppy with the ball.”

The Henry County Lady Cats found their shooting eye for the second straight game as they pounded the visiting Valley Lady Vikings 70-36 on Jan. 20. After struggling with scoring for most of the season, the Lady Cats have set season highs in points in two consecutive games.

“Early in the season, no matter who we played, we had trouble scoring,” Lady Cats coach Todd Gilley said. “Now we have scored in double figures in eight of the last 10 quarters. It’s nice to see that progression.”

Glad city history is appreciated

I was very pleased with Chris Brooke’s column about the Mesker storefronts in New Castle that appeared in the last issue of the Local.

Speaking on behalf of many others, it is heartening to know that someone relatively new to the area “feels good about working in a community in which much history has been kept intact.”
