  • Little Merchants: Newspaper carriers featured in new book

    About 50 years ago, Grant Wise was hired at his first job.

    He was only 11, but he handled duties that would make some grownups cry in protest.

    Up at 3 a.m., seven days a week, he pedaled his bicycle, while hefting a heavy canvas bag, for miles through the dark streets of Hodgenville – no matter the weather. He retraced his route in the afternoon.

    He was a newspaper boy.

    Wise’s story, along with several others, is included in Little Merchants: The Golden Era of Youth Delivering Newspapers, a book by Sandra L. Walker.

  • UNSEALED: prosecutors ask for change of venue in criminal case as city hall love letters come to light

    Prosecutors in the criminal case against former mayor Terry L. Cruse and former city clerk MaDonna Hornback have requested a change of venue.

    The petition, filed Monday in LaRue Circuit Court, says extensive media coverage over the last seven months – including stories in The LaRue County Herald News and The News-Enterprise, radio and television stations – has prohibited the state from empanelling a fair and impartial jury. Cruse also took out political advertisements in The Herald News outlining his defense during his run for sheriff.
