  Former LaRue County Chief Deputy Jailer Travis Jay Strader pleaded guilty Friday to numerous charges that he provided narcotics, marijuana and alcohol to female inmates in exchange for sexual favors. 

A mountain of waste tires is visible from a secluded spot on Wonderland Road near Upton.
An old logging lane leads to a large depression in a wooded area where as many as 30,000 old tires have been buried over the years, according to Timothy E. Hubbard, assistant director of the Kentucky Division of Waste Management.
They’re now being excavated, thanks to money from the state’s Waste Tire Amnesty Fund. Nunn Excavating from Green County is removing the tires from the woods and placing them in large mounds so the state can dispose of them.
