A Mount Eden woman was severely injured Thursday in an attack by a family pet.

Regina Whitaker, 40, and her son, Ronald Hampton, 22, both of Spencer County, are recovering at the University of Louisville hospital after being rescued from a pit bull attack by the owners of Carriss's Grocery.

The unusual twist is that dog belonged to the victim and, up to that point, had been a docile house pet.

Senior Night started out well for the Shelby County boys’ basketball team.

Reed Mills sang the national anthem, then the fired up Rockets led visiting DeSales after the first quarter.

The Colts spoiled the celebration, though, coming back to beat Shelby County, 70-52, Tuesday night at Mike Casey Gymnasium.

“They had a couple shooters knock down a couple shots, and they had a big kid inside who hurt us,” Rockets Coach Rick Parsons said.

Early on, though, Shelby (6-24) held its own against the Colts (12-15).

Lindsey Wilson College’s pipeline to Shelby County football players is quickly becoming a zipline.

The Blue Raiders, who had four Shelby Countians on their roster last season, have added four more in the past two weeks.

The Triple S Planning Commission pulled together an extra meeting this month in response to a request from Speedway to open a new facility.

And at the meeting commissioners unanimously approved a new Speedway station and convenience store to be built where the BP station stands now on Mount Eden Road (KY 53), near the Interstate 64 intersection.

The commission, however, did not grant all the variances the stations’ representatives requested.
