  • Senior Republican group provides social, political outlet

    Members of the Hardin County Senior Republican Women’s Forum made a lot of fans last year.

    The group literally made hand-held fans sporting Abraham Lincoln’s likeness and including information about the group. Last year, the senior group — said to be the only such senior political organization in the United States — gave out about 4,000 of the fans, which were paid for by the Hardin County Republican Party.

    Members distributed fans to those attending festivals and community events, said president and charter member Shirley Westergren.

  • Around the world in 11 months

    Lydia Shaw is on the final leg of an 11-month worldwide mission.

    The 24-year-old was a teacher at Rineyville Elementary School before leaving for her adventure in July of 2012.

    “I got involved with the World Race when I started feeling God calling me to go and spread his name around December 2011,” she said.

  • Work no stranger to 95-year-old employee

    In the Radcliff Goodwill store, where used items ranging from clothes to furniture find new life, employee Gladys Reineke is steadfastly making the most of the one she’s lived for 95 years.

    “The big reason is once you sit down, you’re done,” Reineke said of her motive for continuing to work.

    That desire to keep working has continued despite medical issues that included a blood clot in her leg that moved to her lungs a month or so ago and a diagnosis of colon cancer about 26 years ago. Both were successfully treated.

  • Teresa Logsdon's life, a mix of law and order

    Teresa Logsdon knew in the sixth grade she wanted to be a lawyer and never let anything get in the way of her dream.

    Her dream career led to becoming an assistant commonwealth’s attorney in January.

    When she was young, she never stopped to question how she would pay for it, even though her family didn’t have the financial means at the time. She knew if anyone else had seen her financial situation they would have told her college and law school were impossible.

  • Child takes advantage of toddler bed freedom

     

    We didn’t have a choice, really. Once she figured out that she could swing her long legs over the side of her crib and jump down, unhurt, it was all over.

    She tested the waters, first figuring out how to fling herself back in headfirst, but unable to find a way back out again.
