I wish to thank Owen countians and people elsewhere, who have Owen County roots, for their enormous monetary contributions for the erection and dedication of the highway marker for “Karsner Airfield” and “H. Clark Karsner, Owner and Operator.”
The News-Herald paper dated Feb. 7, 1946 refers to Clark Karsner as having, “Brought aviation to Owen County” and the gospel message from his “gospel plane.” Bro. Lewis Arnold proclaimed the message.

On Tuesday, May 22, we as Americans have the opportunity to shape our government by participating in choosing our elected officials.  With this right and responsibility I ask you to support Brian Linder on his run for state representative from the 61st District.  

As a citizen of the fourth congressional district along Kentucky’s northern  shore, I want to remind folks there is a Democratic primary for Congress on   Tuesday May 22, 2012.  As you read this, I want you to consider that there are issues which will impact you or members of your family that are not being  discussed by the candidates or the media.  One such issue is Medicare.

As most of Owen and Gallatin County know, on March 2, our home on 127 North was destroyed by the tornado that went through. Fortunately, considering we were upstairs in the middle of it all, Lindsay and I made it out with only minor injuries. We were so thankful to see those of you who helped us at the hospital and for the encouraging words from so many of you.
