A Lincoln County High School graduate who was active in the drama department is getting his feet in college theater just 30 miles away. Eric Sanders, currently a junior at Asbury University in Wilmore, is the producer of the school's production of “Our Town,” a Thornton Wilder play about mundane life in an early 1900s New Hampshire town. The play went on stage at Asbury's Miller Center for Communication Arts on Thursday and Friday at 7:30 p.m. and will go on one final time Saturday at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are $5. Sanders worked with Asbury grad and “Our Town” director Janelle Gore on the low-budget film “Friggin' Aliens” over Christmas break, and that connection led to the film major's opportunity to work in theater.

STANFORD - When Dan and Candy Tribuzio first met their daughter, Bailey, and their son, Cody, it wasn't under the best of circumstances. These days, Bailey enjoys going to church and playing princess, while Cody prefers to don a cowboy hat and carry a pair of plastic six-shooters. They both smile easily and once they start talking, it can be hard to get them to stop. But about two years ago, their lives looked very different as foster children who had been removed from a neglectful home.

LANCASTER - The director of the regional 911 call center serving Lincoln County wants magistrates to approve an ordinance that would allow him to remedy thousands of problematic addresses he says could lead to delays in emergency responses. Bluegrass 911 Director Russ Clark said there are areas in Lincoln County with dangerously inconsistent addresses that can make it hard for first responders to find callers. A standard addressing practice today is to number houses based on their distance from the beginning of the road, meaning emergency responders can tell by house numbers how far they need to travel on any particular road.
