Fiscal court approves budget,...

The Grant County Fiscal Court voted to approve their annual budget as well as the ordinance to implement a countywide unit service fee during their regular meeting on June 19.

The annual budget passed with a 3-1 vote with District 3 Magistrate Bobby Newman voting no.
The $36 fee on each residential and commercial dwelling in Grant County will fund the county’s 911-dispatch service, and was approved by the court.

Laundry hamper left on stove...

A laundry hamper left sitting on top of a hot stove caused a kitchen fire at Williamsburg Square Apartments on June 19, according to Williamstown Fire Chief Les Whalen.

Whalen said a babysitter and three children were home at the time of the fire, but successfully escaped the unit in time. Firefighters responded at about 1:50 p.m. and subdued the fire within 10 minutes after arriving.

Summer Fun
Heroin problem continues to...

Shari Reed awakened to the sound of someone violently knocking at her door at about 1:30 a.m. one day in April 2016. The Williamstown resident wondered who would be knocking so loudly, and at such a late hour. After answering, she opened the door to find a police officer, her oldest son and her mother standing in the entranceway with somber faces.

She knew immediately that something was wrong.
“You need to sit down,” her oldest son told her. “Matt is gone.”

VAUGHT’S VIEWS

It would have been easy to make a phone call, send a text or make a post on social media to announce her verbal commitment to the Kentucky basketball program.
Junior Emma King of Lincoln County didn’t want to do that. She thought it would be more “special” for everyone if she went to Lexington to tell Coach Matthew Mitchell face to face.
 “That way I also got to visit them all (UK coaches and players). I love them all. It was a good excuse to go up there,” said King. “Plus, I wanted to see his reaction.

The folly of Eyeore faith

Years ago, I had a friend who was desperately trying to get a book published.
Every time she sent her manuscript out to yet one more publisher, she’d get her hopes up.
“This one could be the one,” she’d tell me.
But it was never “the one,” and she continued to get her manuscript returned, albeit always with a kind rejection letter attached.
She tried to stay positive, but with constant rejection, it began to tax her faith.

Shade devices for the vegetable...

It’s been hot and humid the last few weeks! I was hopeful that this summer was going to be idyllic…at least we got pop up rainstorms to keep things hydrated. These 90-degree days, however, are putting us on track for some serious heat and some of our vegetables will love it and some will not.  
I know we can’t change the ambient air temperature on a 90 degree day but we can provide some shade for our plants on the hottest days of the summer with reasonable results.
