Letters

 Many times in my life I have failed to stop what I was doing long enough to tell someone thanks for a job well done. Today I am putting things aside to stop and commend Doris Owen not only for her many years of service as Administrative Assistant to the former directors of E.D.A. She worked for many years and reached the point of wishing to retire. Later when Mr. Faust resigned the Board requested Doris to consider coming back to work which she was kind enough to do.

 What Sheriff Dave Greenwell did in supporting a Merit System is a sure re-election back into the office that he holds and it should be.

17 years ago, I worked as a Deputy Sheriff in Jefferson County, KY and I remember when James Vaughn became Sheriff and I saw people who had 15-18 years in Law Enforcement, lose their jobs because they were not on the right side of the political fence.

 On behalf of myself and my family we would like to say thank you to the city of Shepherdsville’s Mayor Scott Ellis and a special thank you to council woman Faith Portman for approval to build the gazebo on 1st Street Park. We also would like to thank Claude Middleton with city works, Jonathan at Quality Stone and Ready Mix for the concrete, Don at DG Industries for all the steel parts needed and Eddie at Grandmas RV Park for the shrubs around the gazebo.

 The Spring Festival Committee would like to thank the community for your support again this year. There are too many individuals, City Police and Fire Departments and School and companies to list that make this event possible.
