I just read the letter about the Lincoln County EMS, and I am appalled. Why do we have so many services, and why aren't they all equal in what they can do? I have a friend who is a paramedic, and he tells me that a lot of these services in Lincoln County - like Waynesburg EMS - will go to Somerset and make a run for them to Lexington or Louisville. This leaves their area unprotected, so they will have another service like Stanford or McKinney cover them. If something happens to someone in their area, it would take the responding agency 20 or more minutes to get there if they also aren't busy.

Officials attribute part of the better rates to a focus on wellness. From 2010 to 2011 the amount the county pays for employee health insurance expenses went from $1.26 million to $1.22 million, a decrease of 2.6 percent and a savings of about $32,000. What makes the downward trend even more unusual is that employees don't pay for their individual health insurance package.

Andrew McKinney was having a good enough season for the Danville golf team, but he knew it could be better. That's why the Danville sophomore went to see golf professional Bruce Brown in early September and turned his season around. “I'd never played great, but I didn't play bad. I wasn't as consistent as I wanted to. I took a lesson and my ball striking really improved. In the past, I had to rely on my short game to get up and down and save me a lot of times and struggle for pars,”Ã?

For the second time in the last 17 months, the Clark County Board of Education faces the task of filling a seat because of a mid-term resignation by one of its members.

No one was injured in the wreck, but frustrations were high on the scene as Norfolk-Southern representatives would not produce the conductor with a bill of lading indicating what was on board. At one point Norfolk-Southern officials told Lincoln County Emergency Manager Don Gilliam that they would be “back in five minutes” with a manifest and disappeared for over an hour and a half. A frustrated Gilliam told a Norfolk-Southern representative that he had 15 minutes to produce a bill of lading before he shut down the scene and ordered an evacuation.
