25 years ago - 1981

Construction began on a new McDonald's to be located on the corner of Jane Trail and Brent Avenue. Plans had been stalled due to complications with a property on Fourth Street that the business wanted to occupy until the new location was found. The restaurant is anticipated to open in September and will employ 50 to 60 people in both full-time and part-time jobs. Ken McCoun, a Harrodsburg native, will be the manager.

Junction City Elementary School Principal Roger Milburn resigned to become a full-time farmer. Milburn is a graduate of Parksville High School and Georgetown College, and has been the principal at Junction City Elementary since 1974. The resignation was a surprise and a disappointment to board members.

John W. Hudson Jr., superintendent of the Central North Carolina School for the Deaf, was named to the top post at the Kentucky School for the Deaf. The 40-year-old Hudson will be paid $40,500 a year. He will replace Winfield McChord Jr., who stepped down after serving 10 years to assume a similar post at the American School for the Deaf in Connecticut. This is the second time Hudson has succeeded McChord. He replaced him in 1972 as principal at KSD. Hudson also has been superintendent at the South Dakota School for the Deaf and was a teacher at the Louisiana School for the Deaf.

Danville Police Chief James Ryan was turned down by the city commission on his request for automatic weapons. Commissioner Barbara Reynierson said Danville did not need automatic weapons. Commissioner George Cunningham asked if a tank would be needed next. Ryan wanted the weapons for use by an Emergency Response Team he is forming. He still plans to form the team, which will include six to seven ranking officers.

They will be on call 24 hours a day for such situations as kidnappings, jail breaks and bomb threats.
