I worked the Owen County booth on the first day of this year’s Kentucky State Fair.
Like many other booths, we had a fish bowl for a gift drawing.
I was fascinated to see the majority of people who took an entry card fill out the requested information not with a pen or pencil but a return-address sticker sent to them by a service organization soliciting donations.

I thank God that we still have the freedom to vote in America. It is a privilege not shared by many countries whereby the people’s voice can be heard. Many Owen County voters exercised that privilege on Tuesday, July 26, to speak out on an issue that could profoundly affect our county and residents for years to come. I, for one, am very glad they did.

Faith Rebekah Lodge #123 whereas, it has pleased God in his infinite wisdom to call from labor on Earth to his reward on high, our true and beloved brother, Marvin Collin Ogden, who departed this life Jan. 6, 2011 therefore be it resolved, that Faith Rebekah Lodge #123, in testimony of his loss, drape the charter in mourning for 30 days and whereas, he having been a true and faithful member of our order, therefore be it resolved, that a copy of this resolution be sent to the family, a copy sent to the News-Herald and a copy to spread on the minutes of our lodge as a memorial to him.
