The Grant County Emergency Management and Grant County Water Rescue Team went fishing for vehicles submerged in local lakes three times in five days.

The most urgent came at 9:22 p.m. Oct. 14 when a call came into the dispatch center about a Dodge Caravan that went into Williamstown Lake.

The Grant County Child Support office is typically ranked in the mid-40s to high 50s out of 120 county offices in Kentucky, according to Julie Scott Jernigan, assistant Grant County attorney.
However, as of Oct. 1, the local office is ranked seventh in the state, due mainly to a dramatic increase in collections made for the families and children served by the office.
For the last two years, the Grant County Child Support office has met its state collections goals for the first time in the history of the office, said Jernigan..
