A downtown Carlisle fire last Friday afternoon sent firefighters from other counties across the jurisdictional lines to help battle the blaze.
The fire started in a six-unit apartment building in downtown Carlisle on Locust Street. According to Carlisle Fire Chief Jim Biddle, the fire started when one resident believed she was fighting bedbugs by spraying rubbing alcohol onto her couch. The problem erupted when she reportedly dropped a lit cigarette on the alcohol-doused couch.
Firefighters from Cynthiana and Harrison County were among the 10 assisting departments.

The Cynthiana-Harrison County bypass takes on a new look everyday as workers push hard to complete construction by late 2013.
Driving over the unfinished bypass, an unknowledgeable eye would conclude that the bypass was near completion.
The road is all but complete, minus a few pot holes, a final touch of blacktop and traveling lanes painted on.
However, major construction is still underway as subcontractors work in the scorching heat to complete several bridges along the 4.1-mile bypass.

Since the formation of the Cynthiana-Harrison County Baseball Alumni Association in September 2011, much has been accomplished, yet its leaders want to do so much more.  
The association is the brainchild of 1966 Harrison County graduates Larry Gossett, Jim Fuller and Ron England, and was formed to support and recognize baseball players in Harrison County.  

Harrison County has had its share of 100 degree days, however, farmers and citizens are still unable to cope with dry weather.
According to local officials and farmers, last year’s row crops and livestock production was among one of the best growing seasons in recent history.
However, as the tale goes in the farming world, every good growing season is often followed by several moderate to bad growing seasons.
