They will be leaving one place in their lives and moving toward another.

It’s a tough time in the world today.

The job market is tight.

Post-secondary education is becoming more expensive by the day.

The military is a dangerous option but one that is so important.

So why should the members of the Class of 2009 be optimistic?

Bullitt County government loses several thousand dollars each week that it operates swimming pools at its four locations.

This year, the losses will be less as only one pool - behind Maryville Elementary - appears ready to meet the new federal safety standards and will open sometime this week.

It would also provide a bit of leverage for a group looking to open a single indoor swimming facility.

After 10 years in the making, someone has finally officially told Shepherdsville officials that their fire department is “regular.”

In legal terms, it means that some residents who live in the city limits but also live in what is the fire taxing districts of Southeast Bullitt and Nichols may not be facing a second tax in the future.
