  • Author lectures on Ireland

    Local author Viki Pidgeon received a warm welcome at the Shelby County Library on Thursday night when she gave a talk on Ireland.

    Pidgeon is the recipient of an IPPY Award, from independent book publishers, for her cookbook, Ireland's Comfort Food, which she published in 2007.

    Pidgeon, who has dual citizenship, both American and Irish, brought along some Irish food, prepared using recipes, from her book, to  share with her audience.

    She also had copies of her book on hand, and it was easy to see why she earned her Ippy.

  • Kate's little helpers

    Anyone who catches an inside glimpse of Kate Bemiss' life might exclaim, "All this and family harmony, too?"

    But to Bemiss and her clan, that close-knit camaraderie goes together like, well, ice cream and cake. Or maybe fried chicken and mashed potatoes, or even  a perfectly grilled steak topped with plump sautéed mushrooms, with a fluffy baked potato oozing butter and sour cream.

    Getting hungry?

    Then Bemiss and her clan might be just the ticket if you need a private party catered.

  • Band of brothers - and sisters

    Platoon 2 of the Shelbyville Fire Department will tell you -- being a firefighter is not always flashy, and the work can be tedious. But it’s the satisfaction that comes from doing something you care about side-by-side with people you care about that makes it all worthwhile.

    “It’s something I always wanted to do,” firefighter Jon Blank said. “After 10 years I still wake up ready to go to work. You get real close to your family here. There are a lot of good people here.”

  • A colonoscopy may have saved his life

    Chances are, most people know someone who has died of colon cancer.

    This disease, formally known as colorectal cancer, is the second-leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States, and that's a key reason why March was designated National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month by President Clinton in 2000.

  • Small fish, big splash

    To say that the locally produced independent film "Clancy" did well in its opening weekend would be putting it lightly.

    "It did extremely well. We were having to turn people away Friday and Saturday night because it was packed," said Melanie Scott, assistant manager of the Apex Village 8 Theater in Louisville. "This has been one of our biggest openings in a long time."

  • PART IV: A Japanese counterattack slows advances

     A day or two after we landed on Guam, at about 11:30 p.m. on July 25, 1944, those of us at the Command Post that had been established at the base of the steep cliff near the beaches, heard a cacophony of machine-gun fire and explosive bursts coming from the top of the cliff.
