Mrs. Tori says this is a project to help promote positivity and encouragement to Kyrock students, some of which may not have positive fatherly figures at home. Friday was the first day of this project, where dads and husbands of Kyrock staff greeted students as they walked into school. The project will take place on the last Friday of every month, and each time, new dads will be at the front door of the school greeting students with high fives, hugs, and words of encouragement to start the day. "Dads at the Door is a project I have started with the help of Mrs. Ali Mello, our P.E. teacher, and Mrs. Brandy Meredith, our principal. The idea behind Dads at the Door is to bring positive male role models into our school and to greet our students," Mrs. Tori stated. "We’re hoping to bring more dads of our students in as well as dads throughout our community. It was a special morning getting to see the excitement on the kids’ faces as they came through and were greeted. It was also really special to spend the first morning of Dads at the Door with my dad, because Kyrock is a very special place for us and our family." Mrs. Brandy Meredith said in the future, some Dads that plan to participate are business owners in our community, Dads of Kyrock students, and other important role models in the community. "We are so excited to begin this project, especially after seeing the kids faces light up when they were greeted this morning. At Kyrock, we want to do our best to promote positivity, and this project is a great way to bring that positivity in," said Principal Brandy Meredith. "We don't have many male staff members, so some of our students may not have a male role model in their life, and this project can change that." You can contact 270-286-4013 if you are interested in being in the Dads at the Door project. Larry and Regina Meredith will celebrate their 50th Wedding Anniversary on Thursday, October 24, 2024.

The 20th annual Santa's Helping Hands benefit auction is set for Saturday, November 2nd in the Edmonson County High School gym at 12 noon. SHH co-founder and board member Mark Wardlow expects this to be the biggest event ever. "I don't know how it keeps growing, but we've seen amazing support for what we're doing here in Edmonson County over the years. I can't believe it's been 20 years, but we're helping more of our local people than ever," he said. Donations for this year's auction have been pouring in all year long. There will literally be something there for everyone, Wardlow said, with some very rare items. "Our UK basketball ticket packages are always popular, but we have an incredible selection of authentic merchandise available that is hard to find anywhere else." Those items include autographed memorabilia from Larry Bird, Peyton Manning, Emmet Smith, Chevy Chase, Pete Rose, Jeff Gordon, and even Taylor Swift, to name only a few. In addition to the high-profile items are also household goods, camping and outdoor gear, power tools, high-end coolers, furniture, luggage, Case knives, and more. Vacation packages will also be up for grabs along with homemade cakes, pies, and other desserts from the best local bakers around. All proceeds go to Edmonson County families that have needs. The charity used to be used to aid during the holidays, however, SHH now helps with causes all year round, including fire victims, medical emergencies, and all sorts of children-based help throughout the county. The organization has no paid employees and they do not use raised funds for business meetings, lunches, etc. 100% of their proceeds go back to the people of Edmonson County. Last year's auction saw nearly $90K raised in only a few hours. The possibilities of reaching the six-figure mark this year are very real. "We are grateful for everything that has been done to help our organization over the years," Wardlow said. "That help is much needed in our community and we are thankful we can still do it."

Darren Doyle, story: Many that fly the American Flag know some basic rules of respect when it comes to its handling. One of those being that the flag should never touch the ground. Flags don't last forever and when they become worn, faded, or certainly ripped/torn, they should be disposed of. However, there is a very unique and respectful way to do so. On October 16th, members of Brownsville VFW Post 6937 gathered at the Edmonson County Courthouse to honorably retire nearly 100 U.S. Flags that were no longer suitable for patriotic display. The United States Code stipulates, “When a U.S. flag is in such condition that it is no longer a fitting emblem for display, it should be destroyed in a dignified way, preferably by burning.” According to Post 6937, Post Commander Edwin Vincent led the group in the Pledge of Allegiance, then he displayed a large US flag and described its parts as each part was honorably burned. The Post then conducted a rifle firing salute followed by the playing of Taps and the rest of the flags were retired by ceremonial burning. This is a regular practice for Post 6937 and they also conduct flag training for 4th grade students in local schools.
"This year that training will begin soon during the last week of October. At this point, every class in the Edmonson County School System has been through this training and knows the proper way to display and care for the flag," said the Post in a released statement. "The VFW is the largest organization of combat veterans in the US. In Brownsville, we meet on the third Monday of each month (next Monday) at 6:30 pm at the Library. If you have an overseas campaign medal, we would love to have you join us," the Post stated. If you or anyone you know has a flag that needs to be properly retired, flags can be given to any Post 6937 member or dropped off at C & C Firearms and Outdoors in Brownsville. |
