  • An apology, a congratulations and a concern

    This week I need to start with an apology to Zach Pulliam. In last week’s article about the Harrison County Middle School Colts’ championship I incorrectly referred to Zach as his older brother Dillon.    
    I know myself, as someone who had a younger brother who had to constantly hear about how wonderful I was, the error was made more painful by the frequency of Dillon’s name being in print and Zach as a younger brother having his time in the sun taken away. I am sorry for the error and believe me I would not do this on purpose.

    “Everything is closing,” said one of the ladies having lunch at Biancke’s.
    I agreed and we commiserated. Up to that point, I suppose I was in denial. It didn’t seem like a “we” problem.
    We talked about the bypass around Cynthiana and weighed its pros and cons, trying to determine if it will help or hinder.
