Season 6 of Cynthiana Idol started with 11 hopefuls competing to be the next Cynthiana Idol. The competition was more difficult this year as the contestants had to sing from themes starting the first week. This was a change from the usual singer’s choice of the past.
David Gauze, 18, of Cynthiana, breezed through the first week of 80’s hair bands and continued to be in the top during Country Music Hall of Fame week and Beatle’s week. During the finals he once again faired well with Broadway and the much anticipated singer’s choice.

* Cynthiana Democrat, Feb. 23, 1928 -- (Cromwell’s Comments) - “In 1878, J. A. Brown purchased what was then known as the ‘Broadwell’ home, later known as the Elks’ Home, now the site of several beautiful residences (corner of Pike Street, Clifton Road). At that time it was an ideal location for that which it afterwards became, ‘Harrison Female College’ as the old residence had many rooms of ample size and the surrounding grounds were spacious and well shaded.”

A Water Aerobics class will begin Monday, June 17 and continue through Monday, Sept. 2. Classes will meet at the Cynthiana Country Club pool from 9-10 a.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.
