Tribute to a hero
The words echoed down Main Street for all to hear. "We shall overcome, we shall overcome someday," sang the crowd of about 50 who marched from Campbellsville Middle School to the Campbellsville University campus.
This weekend's annual events were aimed at keeping the dream of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. alive. A pivotal figure in the Civil Rights Movement, King was shot and killed in Memphis, Tenn. on April 4, 1968.

Are you prepared for digital TV?
A change may be looming in the TV airwaves, but Taylor Countians will notice little when over-the-air signals switch from analog to digital next year.
On Feb. 17, 2009, television stations will cease to provide analog programming, switching over to all-digital broadcasts. Digital TV, also known as DTV, enables broadcasters to offer better picture and sound quality as well as interactive capabilities.

Schools could face major cuts
Seven percent or 12 percent. Neither option bodes well for public education.
Preparing his budget with what he says is a major shortfall, Gov. Steve Beshear has requested that Education Commissioner Jon Draud submit proposals to cut 12 percent of the Kentucky Department of Education's general budget for fiscal year 2009 or 7 percent from the Support Education Excellence in Kentucky fund.
SEEK funding is based on a formula that treats school districts equally, taking into account local revenues, student demographics and other variables.

Animal shelter expansion complete
If the shrill chorus of barks reveals anything, it's that the Taylor County Animal Shelter is now home to nearly four times the number of animals it once was.
A recently completed expansion at the Taylor County Animal Shelter has given shelter employees 98 cages in which to house stray animals. Shelter cages used to total 28.
The shelter received a $51,000 grant last year to expand its facility, which is located off KY 210, just past Wal-Mart and behind the Taylor County Farmers' Market.

Farmers continue push for new tobacco contracts
Tobacco farmers representing 13 counties met last week to express their displeasure with the 2008 contract offered by Philip Morris.
The meeting Jan. 16 was a follow-up to a December meeting, during which farmers said they wanted to know if tobacco growers in other areas felt the same way. The answer that came back was a definitive yes.
"We've all got the same concerns," said Forrest Stevens, a farmer from Anderson County who sells his tobacco in Lebanon.
