  • County attorney reminds everyone to buckle up

     For anyone who complains about getting a ticket for not buckling up when driving or riding in a motor vehicle, here’s a crash course in reality:

    *746 people were killed on Kentucky’s roadways in 2012

    *Of those 746 killed, 592 were motor vehicle fatalities. 

    *62.5 percent of those motor vehicle fatalities were not wearing a seat belt. 

    *When worn correctly, seat belts are proven to reduce the risk of fatal injury to front-seat occupants by 45 percent and by 60 percent in pickup trucks, SUVs and minivans. 

  • Thanks to Boy Scout troop

     On behalf of myself Jimmy Waters and the community of Lebanon Junction I would like to recognize and thank the Boy Scout Troop 0685 for the group effort put forward on cleaning up and restoring a cemetery located at the corner of 139 Hillcrest Avenue, Lebanon Junction Family Cemetery of Stark’s and Thompson families.

    The Boy Scouts and family together cleaned both inside and outside of cemetery and reset headstones, cut trees, pained iron fence and built new benches on site for a complete makeover and a much needed restoration of the cemetery.

  • Thanks to Pioneer News

  • Best of Coyle: 06/12/13

     This week Paul Coyle reminds everyone to come out and visit the Bullitt County Fair.

  • Thanks from Scottish Rite

     For the past nine years the Bullitt County Scottish-Rite Club has sponsored a Motor Rally/Fun Run. Motorcycles, Sand Bugs and Custom Cars of all kind, show up from throughout the state to have a fun day and contribute to a very worthy cause, “The Students of Bullitt County Schools.”

  • Thanks for donations

     The family of Jamie “J.T.” Harris and the Bullitt County Rod and Gun Club would like to thank the Bullitt County Supermarket for their generous donation of food during our time of bereavement and loss. Your thoughtfulness and generosity was deeply appreciated. Your kindness was felt by many in our community. Having such a caring local business is what makes our town so very special.

  • Conservatism?

          I was delighted to learn the outcome of this past election cycle when Republicans nearly swept the race for Shepherdsville City Council.
