Movin' on up
Driving through Taylor County during the summer of 2006, Jerry Pippin had a revelation. Already raising a teenage son in Las Vegas, Pippin and his wife, Julie, were expecting twins. Pippin decided rural Kentucky might provide a better setting for his growing family.
"The community was full of the nicest people," Jerry said. "I thought the place was beautiful."
Jerry was here to help his brother, Dennis, with his family's move to Adair County. Returning home to Las Vegas, Jerry told his wife about the area.

Senate candidate visits Campbellsville
U.S. Senate candidate Greg Fischer, a Louisville Democrat, campaigned in Campbellsville on Friday.
Fischer is one of eight Democrats who filed for the race in an attempt to unseat incumbent Republican Sen. Mitch McConnell. At this point in the race, polls show his main competition is two-time gubernatorial candidate Bruce Lunsford. Lunsford's campaign was boosted when former rival Andrew Horne dropped out of the race in February and offered his endorsement.
But Fischer said on Friday that his poll numbers are on the rise while Lunsford's are on the decline.

Making History
A few years ago, Sue Smith was having some work done on the High Street home she and her husband Willard share. When workers removed the fireplace mantel, they discovered a note that had been tucked between the mantel and the wall.
"It said the mantel was built in 1926," Mrs. Smith said.
She knew her home had been built some years ago, but, now, it seemed she had proof.
Today, Smith knows the history of not only her home but several of her neighbors' homes as well.

Jubilee Center breaks ground
By year's end, Green River Ministries' Jubilee Center will finally be a reality.
Local and state officials have converged on 100 Stockyard St. several times over the past two years. On Wednesday, they came together once again to break ground for what will be a one-stop destination for those in need.
"If it is of God, it will stand and that's what has happened," GRM Board Chair Karl Lusk said during a ceremony last week.
