  • Panthers advance to regional play and win over Oldham

    The Carroll County Panther baseball team finished a disappointing second in district play, but it was enough to get them into regional competition this week.

    The Panthers took the first game win in regional play, 4-3, over the Oldham County Colonels Monday May 25. “This is probably the best team win where everyone felt they contributed to the win,” head coach Jay Jones said.

    It’s a play or go home situation at this point of the season and the Panthers weren’t ready to go home yet.

    “We definitely under no circumstances got a letter from General Motors,” Kinman said in an interview last week.

    General Motors is on the verge of bankruptcy and has been sending out letters to dealerships across the country stating they would not be renewing some franchises in October 2010, Kinman said.

  • A new Principal for Milton Elementary

    When Sharon James moved with her family to Kentucky in 2005, she felt very lucky to land a teaching position at Bedford Elementary School the year the new building was opened.

  • Support for Demo Derby appreciated

    Editor:

    Thanks to all. The Spring Bash Demo Derby was a huge success, a show of this size takes a lot of work and preparation and is not accomplished by just a couple of people. I would like those who worked on this derby recognized.

    First of all, most of our help comes from our families and friends, not from people on the fair board, always seems unless its convention time they have something more important to do.
