  • Assembly of Christians sounds like the place to be

    They can be one of the greatest gatherings of every week. Some day we will be continually with the Lord and the best way to prepare for this is to make church a priority.

  • Whitlock retires after 34 years with forestry service

    Dwayne Whitlock retired last week from a job he truly enjoyed. For 34 years, he worked as a district forest ranger for the Kentucky Division of Forestry.

    He plans to “just kick back and take it easy for awhile,” but it’s obvious he can’t get the forestry service out of his blood. After all, he lives on a tree farm (although it is no longer on the state’s tree farm registry) and was once willing to dress up as Smokey Bear in a parade to promote the care of woodlands.

  • Beef body condition score is critical to breeding

    Early winter is an optimum time to prepare spring-calving herds for reproductive success. Adequate nutrition from about 50 to 80 days prior to calving is critical to maximizing a cow’s ability to rebreed and maintain a 365-day calving interval. If a cow gets inadequate nutrition or is thin at calving and breeding, she will take longer to come into heat and will require more services to conceive.

  • More vandalism reported at Buffalo Cemetery

    Vandals struck Buffalo Cemetery last weekend, the second time in as many months.

    Eleven tombstones were knocked over and one was broken, said Gordon Connor, volunteer director for the cemetery board. Ten of the markers dated from the late 1880s; one was from the 1950s.

    The cemetery is bordered by KY 61 and Brooks Road in Buffalo.

    In December, vandals desecrated 23 markers – damaging some and taking items from others. Most of the destruction occurred at the rear of the cemetery.
