  • Taylor County PVA Shively sends birthday cards to taxpayers

    For many of them, it is a birthday card they have been waiting on for a few years, because only a select group of people receive them.

    The birthday cards sent out by Shively’s office not only serve as a kind regard to those turning 65 years old, but also to remind them that they are eligible for the Homestead Exemption, which can save people hundreds of dollars in property taxes.

  • Cards grow in tough games against some of state's best teams

     

    Maze Stallworth thought his team grew up quite a bit Saturday night.

    The result wasn’t what Taylor County wanted, winding up with a 67-52 setback in the Clem Haskins Classic at Citizens Bank Arena, but the team showed signs of growth and maturity.

    And at this time of year, with the postseason approaching, that’s exactly what Stallworth wants to see from his squad.

    Seven years ago, Anthony Epps noticed the Campbellsville Lady Eagles had a pair of fifth graders on their roster.

    Kiyah and Nena Barnett were added to the roster for the 2010-11 season by coach Cameron Jackson, and both saw game time that year.
