    Floods don't keep mail carrier...

    A local mail carrier recently received national recognition and honors for his simple, yet unexpected, acts of kindness.

    According to Magnolia Postmaster Michael Baldwin, Harold Webb was always a hard-working mail carrier. But during the May flooding, Baldwin said Webb went above and beyond the call of duty.

  • Help cattle beat the summer heat

    Periods of heat stress call for cattle producers to be vigilant in making sure their animals are adequately prepared. One of the most important things producers can do is provide cool, clean drinking water. Providing an adequate source of drinking water helps to keep animals’ internal body temperatures within normal limits. Above-ground water lines need to be shaded so they do not act as solar water heaters and make the water too hot to drink.

  • Outdoor burning restricted

    Be aware of the following precautionary measures to prevent wildfires:

    • Outdoor burning is illegal between the hours of 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. in or within 150 feet of any woodland or brushland during forest fire hazard seasons.

    • Debris burning should be avoided altogether during fire hazard seasons.

    • In addition to forest fire laws, outdoor burning laws include air pollution regulations and restrictions imposed by local ordinances.

  • Online guide simplifies...

    Research shows that rollover protective structures, when used in combination with a seatbelt, are 98 percent effective in preventing death and serious injury in the event of a tractor overturn. Nevertheless, more than a third of tractors in use today – and perhaps as many as 50 percent in Kentucky – still do not have these lifesaving structures.

  • Haun spending college semester in U...

    If all goes as planned, 2008 LaRue County High School graduate Shelby Haun will be living in an English castle this fall.

    Haun, a sophomore social work major at Western Kentucky University, is spending her fall 2010 semester at Harlaxton College in Grantham, Lincolnshire, United Kingdom.

    Since 1971, the University of Evansville has owned Harlaxton College, which was built in the 1830s. Thanks to a partnership with Evansville and Harlaxton, Western sends a group of about 25 students every semester to study there.
