  • WHAT WE THINK: Should Shelby County magistrates be OK with expense of new garbage facility?

    We were dismayed last week when there was a meeting of Shelby County Fiscal Court that did not include mention of the decision by the group’s Legislative Committee to step away from the prospect of creating curbside garbage and recycling pickup for residents.

  • Doubling their teamwork is key

    It’s rare for opponents or emotions to get the better of Doug Martin and Jeron Russell.

    That’s one of the major reasons why Martin, a junior for Shelby County junior, and Russell, a freshman, will play doubles in the KHSAA Tennis Tournament, which begins Thursday at the University of Kentucky’s Boone/Downing Tennis Complex.
