Protective orders are a valuable tool that victims of domestic violence can use to protect themselves from their abusers.

In granting Emergency Protective Orders and Domestic Violence Orders, the court may require the abuser to refrain from any contact with his or her victim and grant other remedies as necessary. This is a civil and not a criminal process.

Protective orders are designed to protect someone against physical violence, stalking or the threat of physical violence. A protective order may be the only thing that keeps a victim safe from harm.

Campbellsville and Taylor County will be facing first-time football opponents tomorrow night when the Eagles host Fairview and the Cardinals entertain Powell County in first-round play-off action.

Again this year, Campbellsville University's Department of English as a Second Language will offer free "ESL in the community" classes for international individuals in this and surrounding communities in need of gaining or improving their English language skills.

The courses will continue through the spring semester and into the summer months.
