Ann's Dance to offer free reading help for local adults
Beverly Sullivan has clear memories of her childhood, when her mother used to read Janice Holt Giles books to the family. The experience was not only entertaining for Sullivan, it also instilled in her a love of reading and spawned a career in education.
The fact that some of Kentucky's older residents can't pass along such a tradition disturbs Sullivan.
Forty percent - 1 million - of Kentucky's working population cannot read at all or have very limited to moderate reading ability.

Grant funds help local cemeteries
"Show me your cemeteries, and I will tell you what kind of people you have."
-Benjamin Franklin

They're also the focus of a five-member committee created to help preserve the nearly 350 local burial grounds.
The Taylor County Cemetery Preservation Committee was formed during former Taylor County Judge/Executive Paul Patton's administration.

Vote count off by 132 ballots
More than 100 votes from Tuesday night's primary election were not counted, but while the votes narrowed a few victory margins, election results remain the same.
Taylor County Clerk Mark Carney noticed a zero from the New City East precinct when putting together his voter turnout list Thursday morning.
"I realized that the card from one of the new machines had not been read," Carney said.
Carney checked the machine and found the card still inside. He contacted the State Board of Elections, who assured him everything was OK.

City puts EDA funding request on hold
The local industrial recruiter's funding increase request is back on the table, but only provisionally.
In a special meeting Wednesday, Campbellsville City Council opted to include in its $15.5 million 2008-2009 budget the Campbellsville/Taylor County Economic Development Authority's request for a $50,000 annual increase. However, Council members voted to only consider the request after Taylor Fiscal Court reconsiders it in January.
Mayor Brenda Allen said "it would be up to the City Council" to decide what to do after the Fiscal Court revisits the request.

High school seniors set to graduate
This year, 271 students will graduate from Campbellsville Independent and Taylor County High schools in ceremonies a week apart. In the past, the ceremonies were usually hosted just an hour apart.
Taylor County's school year went a week longer than Campbellsville Schools, which also necessitated two Project Graduation events.
Campbellsville High's graduation kicks things off tomorrow at 6:30 p.m. at the school's Hamilton Auditorium. CHS will graduate 66 students this year, the same number as last year.

Taxi service gets grant to begin operation
Taylor Countians in need of a ride will soon have a taxi service to take them where they need to go.
At last week's regular Fiscal Court meeting, Taylor County Judge/Executive Eddie Rogers told magistrates that Rural Transit Enterprises Coordinated Inc. has received a grant to begin operating a taxi service in Taylor County on July 1.
Since January, Rogers said, he has received several requests for a taxi service in Taylor County.
The News-Journal has received several anonymous letters throughout the past few years explaining the need and asking for such a service.

Voters say yes to alcohol
Turnout was higher than expected Tuesday as nearly 7,000 Taylor Countians took to the polls to cast their votes.
Awaiting a voting machine cartridge from Mannsville before results could be tallied, Taylor County Clerk Mark Carney told a small crowd gathered at the courthouse Tuesday evening that candidates and the alcohol issue encouraged more residents to participate in the election.
"We had an 8 percent turnout for the last presidential primary," Carney said. "We have 40 percent for this primary. The issues and the candidates brought out the voters."
