The Kentucky High School Athletic Association revised the number of regular season soccer contests and changed the way it counts.

Beginning with this school year, the limitation for soccer states that the season shall consist of a maximum of 21 total games before the start of district tournament play. This total includes game-for-game counts of any regular season tournaments.

The previous regulations limited the season to 17 games but tournaments counted as exceptions.

Celia Creal McDonald has been named manager for Hodgenville’s Main Street/Renaissance Association. She has held the position on an interim basis since January.

McDonald is a native of Hodgenville and has lived here all her life except for a 19-year absence when she resided in Danville, Lexington and Louisville. She and her husband, Bob, returned to Hodgenville to take over The LaRue County Herald News after the death of her father in 1978 and later served as a founder, president and executive director of the LaRue County Arts Council.

The New Haven Board of Commissioners agreed to release payment in advance to Joe Boone Excavating, which was awarded a bid to remove a logjam in the Rolling Fork River.

Boone, a New Haven resident, approached the council Thursday to ask for the remainder of the grant money allotted for the job.

Minus a $375 attorney fee for writing the contract, commissioners were agreeable to the idea.

“I have no problem if we have our fees paid ahead of time,” Commissioner John Ray Ball said.

All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.”

Researchers say we dream four to six times per night.

Some people, like my husband, Bud, either claim to never dream or not to remember the ones they have. Those same researchers think we forget about 99 percent of what goes on in our brain while we sleep.

But every now and then we have a dream that is so vivid it sticks with us and causes us to puzzle over its origin and possible meaning for months – even years – to come.
