  • Reader friendly

    It's a cliché in the movies and on television for a teacher to ask his or her students to write an essay about what they did during their summer vacation. If this was a movie based in Marion County, we hope at least a few children would write about their experience at the Marion County Public Library.

    Every summer, the library hosts a summer reading program. Through the program, school-aged children and teenagers have an opportunity to participate in a variety of activities, get a meal and expand their minds.

  • Boys eliminated after pool play

    Marion County faced a win or go home situation on Monday of last week against South London at the 9-and-10-year-old Little League state tournament.

    Marion County could only manage two hits, a single by Trent Farmer in the first and a double in the sixth, against South London's pitching staff.

  • Zucchini is tasty in the skillet or in brownies

    Got zucchini? If the answer is yes, try one of these good ways to use it.

    If you pick them when they're small to medium, about six to ten inches long, they are terrific in these first two recipes. If, on the other hand, you find a giant whiffle bat-sized zucchini hiding under a leaf, grate it and use in the last recipe. Yellow squash can also be used with these recipes.

    Fresh Zucchini and Tomato Skillet

    4 medium zucchini, sliced

    2 large tomatoes, peeled and chopped

    2 small onions, sliced

    2 T. vegetable oil

    1 t. salt

  • History of Success

    A man can do a lot in 50 years. Salem George - "Dr. Salem" to his patients - has cared for generations of families from Marion County, quite literally. "I've delivered ladies, delivered their daughters and delivered their grandchildren," George said. In fact, George estimated that he has delivered more than 6,000 babies in his career as a physician. Of course that's not all he's done, but he may not have done it here, in Marion County, if not for a few unexpected changes along the way. George grew up in Louisville.
