To the editor:
The people of Cynthiana and Harrison County are fortunate to have chosen a group of their fellow citizens to take responsibility for the community’s most precious resource and a key to its future – children and their educational opportunities.
Mary June Brunker, Kristy Carey, Gary Lizer, Ed Taylor, and Dr. Don Stephens have agreed to serve this community because they care about those kids and their futures. And they serve at minimal compensation for maximum responsibilities, often under clouds of misunderstanding.

Oh the places they’ve traveled! The last place they would travel would be the waste water treatment plant as far as I would have been concerned.
No. He popped those babies into some Polident and right back onto his gums they nestled.
