Chanson Atkinson is a second grade student at CES. He is the son of Rochelle and James Atkinson. He enjoys playing football and basketball. His favorite teacher is Joyce Dunlap, and math is his favorite subject. His future plans are to play basketball for Louisville as a point guard.

Julia "Judy" Poore and Debbie Holcomb aren't the typical college students.

At 62, Poore is taking classes in subjects she has always wanted to study, rhythmic movement and rhythmic aerobic exercise.

At 41, Holcomb has gone back to school after graduating from high school several years ago and is working toward a degree in business administration.

Both are considered "non-traditional" college students at Campbellsville University.

One beautiful June morning in 2006, four community leaders from Bowling Green set out for a scenic drive on their motorcycles. For two of them, the ride would be their last.

As they were driving through Logan County, a truck driver crossed a double-yellow line, killing two of the men and seriously injuring another. The truck driver had in her possession marijuana and drug supplies. In fact, she admitted to driving with drugs in her system, and tests verified that she had smoked marijuana before driving the vehicle.

Following a weeklong House/Senate conference, the General Assembly passed a $19 billion state budget Wednesday, which lawmakers say will suffice in times of belt-tightening.

"We went into this session with a lot of anxiety over declining revenue," Senator Dan Kelly, R-Springfield said. "It looks like we presented a budget that will keep things going for the next two years."

Though he wasn't pleased with the process, Rep. Russ Mobley, R-Campbellsville, said it did produce a decent spending plan.
