With Honors: Baseball field...

There is an old saying; an elephant never forgets. Well, neither does a community. On Tuesday, Field A1 at Graham Memorial Park was renamed as Jo. Bell Field in honor of the late Lebanon police chief. A large group of people in attendance heard Bell’s fiancé Susan “Sissy” Yokum, as well as Mayor Gary Crenshaw and City Administrator John O. Thomas, spoke about Bell’s love for youth sports. A large sign in his honor sits behind the fence in the outfield, and a plaque was installed at Graham Memorial Park.

Remembering our fallen officers

The tragic loss of Officer Jason Ellis recently has left our community, the commonwealth and the nation grieving for this outstanding member of the Bardstown Police Department who was passionate about his work and the people he protected.
As a seven-year member of the police force, Officer Ellis was well known to all of us. He was a dedicated public servant, a devoted family man, and a wonderful citizen. Without a doubt, the passing of this fine brave man is a profound loss for all of us.
