Central's Ford ready to be...

 SHEPHERDSVILLE – When sports fans first think of cheerleaders the initial thought is not about the big guys that lift and throw the girls into the air.

     When college coaches look at high school cheerleading squads for their new members, their first look is often to the big guys that form the foundation for a strong team.

Thanks to Thompson, crew

 I wanted to thank Tony Thompson and his workers for the work they did on the Bullitt Blast this year.

The Bullitt County Woman’s Club and Linda Belcher appreciated the opportunity to sponsor the watermelon eating contest. It was a fun-filled event with five winners and 43 participants.

Thank you to The Pioneer News for taking pictures.

Burning up the note

  Recently, St. Francis Xavier Catholic Church in Mount Washington celebrated a special occasion.

The congregation had a note-burning ceremony to celebrate the paying off of the mortgage on their new church in about four years.

The Rev. Dale Cieslik, the church pastor, thanked the members for their generosity.

“It’s through giving back to God through you that this house was built.”

After the note-burning, parishioners released balloons to symbolize their debt being lifted.

Next softball stop for Price is...

 MOUNT WASHINGTON – If it worked out once, then try it again.

That was the thinking of former Bullitt East softball standout Taylor Price as she returned to the Media Center at her former school to sign her second paperwork to continue playing her sport in college.

In late May, Price signed to play her final two years in college for the Western Kentucky Lady Hilltoppers.

Helping a motorist

  I broke down on my way to Florida for my oldest daughter’s wedding.

I ended up at Ken Towery in Shepherdsville. Store manager Brent Beyer and tech Craig Wolfe went above and beyond to get me back on the road. Craig drove to the hardware store himself to get the part. Brent kept the store open an hour and a half past closing to get me to my wedding.

Their dedication and good nature helps restore my faith in humanity. I hope you can run something in your paper for the good deeds that came from my travel.

Baseball camps at East and...

   Both the Bullitt East and Bullitt Central high school baseball programs held their annual summer youth camps this year with a good number of young players taking part.

Both camps worked on getting the basics down pat, covering, base-running, throwing, hitting and even nutrition and weight-training.

Still, the biggest part of both camps was having fun and there was plenty of that to go around.
