Jarrett Boyd of Madison, Ind., the retired director of Carroll County Public Library, was elected in November to a term on the board of directors for the Friends of Kentucky Libraries Inc. 

FKL is a statewide non-profit organization that advocates for Kentucky public libraries on the local, state and federal levels. It also provides support for the formation  and success of local Friends chapters.

Ome of the first soups that I ever learned how to make was French onion.

Although it contains few ingredients, French onion is one of the most complex and satisfying soups out there. 

The combination of a rich onion soup paired with crunchy bread and melted, gooey cheese creates a dish that is better than the sum of its parts. 

The ratio of soup to cheese to bread is a very important concept in a good French onion. 

The earthenware crocks that French onion soup is commonly served in helps keep this ratio in check.

The Holiday Bazaar and Craft Show is 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 1, at the National Guard Armory, 1828 U.S. Hwy. 227, Carrollton.

Santa will be on site to have his picture taken with the little ones. All proceeds from booth rentals benefit the local deployed soldiers.
