Note from Mitzi: looking at history and feeling better

By Mitzi Bault

I made a trip to see Dr. Giles to have lab work. It’s been three weeks since I had to get a blood transfusion. That is the longest I have gone in the last eight weeks.

While taking this trial medicine battling cancer for the third time, one thing I've had energy and time to do is look through a collection of my Great Uncle Marshall Chelf's pictures and old newspapers and photos collected by Great Aunt Stella Chelf Neagle.

I've called in historian and good friend Mike Watson to help find information on some of them. I'm sharing a couple of them linked to this article and will continue to discover and share.

County schools in Green and Taylor will operate on a one-hour delay tomorrow, Tuesday, January 22, 2019.

Some back roads still have icy spots in places where they are shaded from the sun so even though temperatures will be rising, bus drivers want to make sure it's good daylight before starting their routes.

By Amanda Taylor

On Sunday, January 20, 2019, 13 year old Trayton Stargel, who wrestles for the Taylor County Youth Wrestling Program, took 2nd place at the 2019 KFWC Youth Region 2 Wrestling Tournament in the 130 pound weight division.

Region 2 includes the following counties: Spencer, Nelson, Larue, Hardin, Meade, Taylor, Adair, Boyle, Wayne, McCreary, Anderson, Spencer, Elkhorn, and Bondurant.

Regional Tournaments are the only Kentucky Youth State Qualifiers, which means Trayton has qualified and earned himself the opportunity to compete at the state level at Broadbent Arena in Louisville, KY, on February 3, 2019.

Trayton didn’t have to travel far this weekend to claim his 2nd place medal, due to Taylor County hosting the Regionals tournament this year.

Our Uncle Deed Smith was killed in September 1918; (WW I) just wondering if you meant Deed Smith instead of Deed Wheat? (In above article) Thanks. --Shirley Smith Mings
