By Nicole Burton

Frankfort, KY - Gov. Matt Bevin has directed that flags at all state office buildings be lowered to half-staff on Wednesday, Dec. 5, 2018, in honor of a Kentucky serviceman who was killed in action during the Korean War but whose remains were only recently identified.

Army Pvt. Robert J. Sipes, Jr., 19, died on Nov. 30, 1950, was accounted for on Oct. 23, 2018, and will be buried in his hometown of Irvington on Wednesday. (See: Gov. Bevin recognizes the sacrifice of a KY soldier)

Although flags statewide are presently at half-staff to honor former President George H.W. Bush, Wednesday's flag lowering will also honor Pvt. Sipes.

By Tiffany Kessler

Wrapping up the year, December's monthly meeting of the City Council was held in regular session Monday night. Presiding over his last meeting as sitting mayor, Curtis Hardwick prepared to leave office by reporting on two rather large projects he recently began.

He believes if grant monies are approved by the Kentucky Agriculture Development Board and the USDA, the cost of a 15,500 sq. ft. metal pavilion could almost be completely covered.

Alligator sightings in this part of the country are uncommon but not unheard of, said Tony Dunker, a conservation officer with the Kentucky Department of Fish & Wildlife, in an interview with WPSD Local 6. The origin of the Ballard alligator is unknown.
