Letters

 The LaRue County Extension Service and Council members thank everyone for making the 2013 Extension Expo a great success. We thank all of our booth participants and everyone who came out to Expo this year. We especially appreciate the LaRue County Board of Education for allowing us use of the gym school facilities each year and thank Jailer Johnny Cottrill for allowing his staff and inmates to help us with set up and take down of the event. We appreciate all the community support and interest in this event each year.

 I applaud the efforts of State Auditor Adam Edelen for addressing the issue of special district accountability in Kentucky. A requirement for citizens to have confidence in government and the services it provides is to have an open, transparent and accountable system. The content of HB 1 ensures this goal is reached. However, potential changes in the language may stall or kill the effort. We cannot let this happen.

 Searching for the Demumbrums

I am looking for information on the Demumbrum family of Nelson/LaRue Counties. My grandfather, Tom Shields, served multiple terms as Nelson County Sheriff and was shot near Stiles by Lawrence Demumbrum Jr. on or about Dec. 26, 1960.

Mr. Demumbrum Jr. was born on July 21, 1928, and died Oct. 20, 1965, possibly in an automobile accident. 

Mr. Demumbrum Sr. died July 22, 1976, in Nelson County and I have been told he was a teacher at Buffalo High School.  

 Don’t ignore headache pain

Don’t let headache pain get ignored.

On Feb. 5, I had severe headache pain and didn’t go to work. My head was killing me.

About 12:30 p.m., I was at Dad and Mom’s house and started to lay down on the couch and my right leg gave away with me.
