In spite of a pittance of practice time due the long, harsh winter, LaRue County High School’s girls’ track team is showing some bright spots in some events, according to Coach Laura Kudrna.

The Hawks’ 4x800 relay team of juniors Kristina Durbin, Amanda Brewer, and sophomores Nicole Thomas and Natalie Mullins took first place at a meet in Grayson County in March. Freshman Hattie Ward is an alternate on that team. 

"My time is near." Those words are found in Matthew 26:18 as Jesus directed his disciples to prepare for the Passover that he would celebrate with them. They were to go to a certain home and say, "The Teacher says, 'My time is near; I am to keep the Passover at your house with my disciples.'"

Jesus knew he was going to die. Opposition toward him had continued to grow. Soon they would seize him and he would be put to death. He knew what was in his immediate future.

 Insecticide-impregnated cattle ear tags release small amounts of an insecticide which are distributed over the animal in skin oils and during grooming or rubbing. Ear tags can provide long term control of horn flies and some reduction in face fly numbers. Some things to consider in selection and use follow.

Read the label before you buy. All tags are labeled for beef cattle, but not all are approved for use on lactating dairy cows. Also, check for any limitations for use, such as animal age.

 Hardin County Animal Control discovered three badly decomposed pit bulls and skeletal remains of two more dogs Thursday morning near the LaRue/Hardin County line on Middle Creek Road after receiving a call Wednesday night, Director Gerald Foley said.

The department is looking for the public’s help on who may have dumped the animals at the location, and Foley said callers can leave anonymous tips.

Help is needed as the dogs contained no trace of microchip identification, he said.

“There was no ID of any kind at all,” he said.
