Cancer survivors were met with cheers as they made their way around the track at Itron Field Friday during the annual Owen County Relay For Life.
The yearly event raises money for the American Cancer Society and this year’s Relay committee members say they expect to reach their goal of $49,000 later this year.

Rowan County lies amid steep hills, and its hollows are nestled deep within their folds. In 1911, before electricity came to shed light on the area,  the night was navigable only when the moon was visible.

The Owen County Board of Education agreed to proceed and instruct Ross Tarrant Architects to create a plan  for the demolition on the school farm.
“The first step is obviously cleaning it up,” Owen County School District Superintendent Rob Stafford said.
The demolition for the farm, located behind the new middle school, would include nine buildings on the property. The black equipment shed and metal building on the eastern side of the house would be left intact.
