A northern Hardin County charitable organization is looking for a few more pairs of hands.

North Hardin HOPE, which is in the process of merging with Helping Hand of the Heartland, is in need of volunteers, primarily in a warehouse and clothing room, said April Lay, an AmeriCorps volunteer with the organization.

Lay said those volunteering in the warehouse need to be physically able to load and unload heavy equipment, while the clothing room requires simpler tasks, such as sorting and inspecting clothes.

The sister of a Radcliff woman found in her home after a nearly three-day search says not taking medication and grief over a recent family death and illness contributed to her sister’s situation.

Beverly Mahone of Elizabethtown said her sister, Gwendolyn S. Payne, has had difficulty dealing with the death of a brother-in-law and her father’s medical diagnosis earlier this year.

Elizabethtown will transform into a canvas for artists again this fall.
The Via Colori Italian Street Painting Festival once again will take over downtown on Sept. 10.

The festival is a fundraiser for the Advocacy and Support Center in Elizabethtown and provides a creative outlet artists can access to mold scenic pastel paintings directly on the pavement of North Main Street and the square in downtown.
