As a part of our community’s preparation for LaRue County’s Relay for Life event on May 15 at Hodgenville Elementary, the local Relay for Life Committee is recognizing individual survivors and their stories. This week, Kathy Ross, nine-year cancer survivor, is featured.

For the eighth consecutive year, LaRue County is the champion of the 18th District Baseball Tournament.

The Hawks have won the district title every year since 2002. This year's edition of the team defeated Green County 3-2 Tuesday at Horse Cave to extend the streak.

It has been an up-and-down season for the Hawks, who enter next week's 5th Region Tournament with a 15-14 record overall. Coach Chris Price's team was unbeaten in seven games against district opponents and 10-4 against 5th Region teams.

The City of Hodgenville had an ending cash balance of $1.75 million for fiscal year July 1, 2007, to June 30, 2008, according to a financial audit prepared by Clauson, Mouser and Co., PSC.

The city ended the fiscal year with $182,000 less in the cash balance from a year earlier. End of year capital assets totaled $14.7 million.

The city’s combined assets increased $1.58 million, up 14.5 percent from the previous year. Mouser said the increase was primarily due to Lincoln Bicentennial projects and infrastructure improvements.

As LaRue Countians prepare for the annual Relay for Life event scheduled for May 15 at Hodgenville Elementary School, the local Relay for Life County Committee is focusing on local survivor stories. This is the fifth of eight stories. Roy Viers is your typical LaRue County farmer in one sense. On the family’s 200 acres off Fork Road, he and his brother Clyde are planning on planting their annual crops of tobacco and corn. They milk about 50 Holstein cows and work from sun up to sun down.  But in another sense, Roy is not your usual farmer.
