A guest editorial by Sen. Jimmy Higdon
Honoring fallen public servants
The tragic loss of Officer Jason Ellis recently has left our community, the Commonwealth and the nation grieving for this outstanding member of the Bardstown Police Department, who was passionate about his work and the people he protected.
As a seven-year member of the police force, Officer Ellis was well known to all of us. He was a dedicated public servant, a devoted family man and a wonderful resident. Without a doubt, the passing of this fine, brave man is a profound loss for all of us.

Police officer's murder was 'evil'
If what investigators have hypothesized about the death of Bardstown Police Officer Jason Scott Ellis is true, there is only one way to describe the still unknown killer: diabolical.
Ellis was shot numerous times and killed in the early hours of Saturday, May 25, at a ramp to the Bluegrass Parkway in Nelson County.
Investigators theorize someone put debris, the nature of which they have not identified, across the road. When Ellis, who was off duty and on his way home, got out of his car to try to clear the road, he was shot from an elevated vantage point.

Facility appreciates police assistance
I would like to express our sincere appreciation to the Campbellsville Police Department, and especially officer Bart Gilpin, for a job well done during a stressful event that took place at Jackson Street Towers.
Last weekend, we had a resident who was missing. After searching and realizing we needed further help, officer Bart Gilpin responded. He was very knowledgeable in the steps that needed to be followed while being very kind and patient.

Emergency personnel recognized during EMS week
At first, they might do it for an adrenaline rush. But officials say EMS workers stick with the job because it lets them help people.
This week, communities recognize their EMS workers as part of National Emergency Medical Services Week.
Taylor County is home to many EMS personnel who put themselves in harm’s way to help others on what could likely be the worst day of their lives. Local officials say working in the EMS field isn't for everyone, and those who do it don't take the job to make money.
