  • Playing it Safe

    All it takes is a split second for a simple job on the farm to turn deadly. Russell Skaggs knows this all too well.

    Skaggs' father, Calvin, was killed on Aug. 7, 1992, in a farm incident.

    The skies that day were overcast, Skaggs said. Rain was on the way and Skaggs' father was trying to finish up.

    But his tractor couldn't handle the heavy load he was pulling. It jackknifed and the load pushed it over a hill. The tractor overturned, pinning Calvin underneath. He was pronounced dead shortly after.

  • Nope, didn't hang out with the President

    As a matter of full disclosure, let me first say that I’m not a big fan of traveling. Sitting in a car for more than a couple of hours makes my back ache severely, killing the potential for any fun that I might have at my destination.

    With that said, I just came back to work after spending a week laying on the beach, shopping, dining out, going to the movies and generally spending more money than I should have. And I did it all right here in Taylor County.

  • Taylor native featured on travel Web site

    Usually, when people talk about travel, they are typically referring to either a need (work) or a desire (play). But for Taylor County native and traveling mom Vickie Cox, it's neither. And both. It's a calling.

    For the past six years, Cox has traveled to volunteer in countries ravaged by poverty where she works as a medical missionary.

    "The bulk of my service has occurred in Haiti," says Cox. "I've traveled to various other nations all over the world, but Haiti is where I feel I need to be."

  • Kudo

    It has been said many times that there's little to do in Campbellsville.

    Two weekends ago, there was something for everyone ... from shopping for bargains at the annual Tebbs Bend Flea Market to catching some fish at the Green River Lake Kids' Fishing Derby to going on a hayride at the Fall Heritage Festival at The Homeplace on Green River.

    And the best part about it all ... the majority of it was free.

    Our hats are off to those who organized last weekend's events, which attracted more than 1,000 people to the area.

  • Knights roll over Cards 67-0

    The Cardinals could not get their offense in sync Friday night, and the defense faced a multi-player running game like no other they had seen this season.

    Senior Dylan Peterson led the way for the Knights, gaining 102 yards on eight carries, including touchdown runs of 23 and 40 yards in the second quarter.

  • Local teams have hands full in district preps at home

    As Campbellsville and Taylor County get ready to begin district play next week, the Eagles and Cardinals have extremely tough football clashes at home.

    The Dragons are coming off a one-point loss to LaRue County but still rank as one of the best teams in Class AA.

    Campbellsville has won 30 of the 46 games in the series. However, Green County has won the last three — 42-12 in 2006, 51-0 in 2007 and 40-14 last season.

  • Cards notch third win in 21 tries vs. Washington

    1993 (22-21), 2003 (35-13) and 2009 (28-27).

    Those are the three seasons Taylor County has managed a victory over Washington County in 21 tries, and all three of them came in Springfield.

    The one on Friday night started out like it would be an easy road romp as the Cardinals led 28-0 with 4:01 left in the first half.

    However, missed extra points enabled Taylor County to hold off the Commanders and post the 28-27 triumph on Friday night.
