Oh, Kentucky


No. 19 in your program and No. 1 in KHSAA wrestling is Campbell County, which held off defending champ Union County's late charge Saturday night at AllTech Arena near Spindletop. It's the fourth state wrestling title for the Fighting Camels, who hail from Alexandria. "Through the years this little town has clung tenaciously to the honor of being the county seat, though Newport has its own courthouse and criminal and chancery court, and keep s the records relating to northern Campbell County," says 1939's Kentucky: A Guide to the Bluegrass State (five stars, highly recommended).

KHSAA district basketball tournaments, meanwhile, start around the state Monday.

Going out on top.

Going out, ambiguously.

Preschool expansion on the table.

Back to the drawing board for virtual high school.

A Crittenden County hybrid school bus running an in-town Marion route is achieving 7.873 miles per gallon, reports Jerritt Hovey-Brown of The Crittenden Press; a diesel bus that was formerly ran the same in-town Marion route achieved 5.51 miles per gallon in October 2011. LaRue, Pike and Whitley counties are experiencing the best improvements. Kentucky has the nation's largest fleet of hybrid school buses.

Warren County schools are shifting to outsourced custodial services.

I'm disappointed that trailers for Bizarnival and Frames do not appear to be available.

"Our town is dying from what it was 20 years ago.”

The Fairfield post office is closing, too.

The Kentucky desk has instituted the following policy: If there's good news out of Fulton County--any good news, even if we don't understand its goodness totally--we link to it. The end.
