Sunday’s
going to be hard for Mark Bess.
It’s the first Father’s Day since his dad, Kenneth,
died.
“I’ve been thinking about my dad a good bit lately,”
Mark admitted. “This Father’s Day is going to be tough,
but I temper that because I know my dad was a wonderful guy.”

New car
buyers may be keeping tax money out of Owen County, and they might
not realize it.
With no new-car dealerships in Owen County, residents wanting to
buy new automobiles have to go outside the county. When doing so,
however, they end up registering their car in the county where they
bought the car.

It seems to be a recipe for success.
Take an acoustic guitar, and add a fiddle, mandolin and banjo for
good measure.
Dab some blues here, a little jug music there. Toss in some folk,
and maybe a pinch of 1920s upbeat tunes — just for fun.
Throw in four boys.
Age for about 10 months, and let it go.
That’s the story of The Downtown County Band, a four-member
string ensemble featuring the talents of two Owen County boys and
two from neighboring Franklin County.

The 10th annual Owen County Relay for Life took place from Friday
at 7 p.m. to Saturday at 7 a.m. More than $75,000 was raised, surpassing
the goal of $72,000 set by the steering committee when they began
meeting early this year. Twenty-two teams were set up around the
track, with team members taking turns walking the track throughout
the night. Of the over 100 survivors in Owen County, 58 walked the
first lap. Later, the entire field was dark except for the light
from luminaries bought in honor or in memory of loved ones with
cancer. For more photos from the night, see page 23.
