    When Avi Bear’s 6-year-old border collie, Zigler, became sick four years ago, his homemade solution became the genesis of his Kentucky Proud dog food business.
    Avi’s brother, Haim, suggested feeding Zigler a special dog food recipe he was making for his sensitive Goldendoodle, Daisy. A trained chef and bakery owner, Avi took the recipe, which was basically home-cooked chicken and rice, and modified it to make it more nutritionally balanced.

    The Harrison County courthouse lawn is dotted with monuments reminding us of the soldiers who have fought and died for our freedoms.
    Words like valor, bravery, courage, true grit and heroism are used to describe their service. They seem like such small words for the huge sacrifice they and their families made for the rest of us.
    This year’s Veterans’ Day program at Battle Grove Cemetery honors the men from Harrison County who died during World War II. There are 48 of them.
