The Danville/Harrodsburg WalkAmerica Ambassador Family this year is from Liberty. Sponsored by the March of Dimes, the WalkAmerica is scheduled May 14 at Millennium Park in Danville. Justice Montana Cundiff, daughter of Billy and Julie Cundiff of Liberty, was born 10 weeks premature. She weighed just 2 pounds 14 ounces and was 16 inches long. During the pregnancy, Mrs. Cundiff had developed HELLP Syndrome, a disorder only occurring in pregnancy, and the only treatment was to deliver the baby.

It should come to no one's surprise that the owner of Danville Office Equipment has a collection of old office equipment. Ted Baker's office has so much more. In fact, other collectibles have pushed the old equipment to a display outside his office, and a large collection has been relegated to the second floor. Just outside the door to his office is an old-fashioned public scale that takes pennies, nickles and dimes. "You weigh less if you put in a dime," he says. On the other side of the office door is a large but old paper cutter that looks fully functional and dangerous.
