For many of us, listening to the school closing music on television was a fixture.

 OKOLONA - Ricky Dunnavan's long bombs kept his team in the contest early but it was senior Jarred George who kept the top-seeded North Bullitt Eagles from exploding on Tuesday night.

 SHEPHERDSVILLE - Middle school students who have excelled in math and science could be part of a new program starting in August.

After much discussion, the Bullitt County Public School Board voted 3-2 to start the Discovery School program.

Another sentiment “discovered” was that test scores were not a major concern of those in the audience.

 SHEPHERDSVILLE - The seventh annual Healthy Hearts luncheon, presented by the Bullitt County Health Department, had Bullitt Countians seeing red in a good way. The event raised $2,423 for donation to the American Heart Association to help promote heart disease awareness.

Guest speakers included Dr. William C. Dillon, MD, (right) who focused on heart disease awareness and response, and Lynn Tincher, who gave personal testimonial on her own experiences.
