The Madison Art Club invites artists to submit entries for a special exhibit “Paint the Bridge” at the Art on Main gallery and gift shop. Paint the Bridge is a non-juried art show coinciding with the community-wide celebration “Bridge Party.....Celebrate” the Slide’ to be held on the Madison riverfront in late July.

Entries must have the Milton-Madison bridge (past, present or future) as the focal subject and can be in any medium, 2-D or 3-D, including photography. Membership in the MAC is not required.

If it seems as if you see a lot of variety in Kentucky’s license plates, it’s because you do.

Beyond the standard “Unbridled Spirit” and “In God We Trust” plates, Kentucky offers dozen of other license plates promoting everything from military service and a love of nature to coal and chiropractors.

But what’s the most popular? The Herald-Leader asked the state Transportation Cabinet, which offered these statistics on the 3.79 million license plates on the road.

Nowadays, everyone is a potential target for scam artists trying to separate well-meaning people from their hard-earned savings.

But in Trimble County and the surrounding area, the elderly still seem to be prime targets, and Sheriff Tim Coons is hoping to get the word out to prevent local residents from falling victim to scammers.

The most recent scam involves a young male calling the home of an elderly person or couple and claiming to be a grandson.

A Trimble County man has been arrested after state police discovered a meth lab in his home at 71 Latta Road in Bedford. 

Kentucky State Police troopers went to the home Tuesday, March 5, after receiving information about possible drug activity at the residence, according to a news release. After receiving permission to search the home, an active meth lab allegedly was discovered cooking in the back bedroom, according to police.
