Charlie Wise Selected For Vacant HCS Board of Education Seat

The Hardin County Board of Education has selected Charlie Wise to fill the vacant seat for Division 3. “The Hardin County Board of Education voted unanimously, Thursday night, to appoint Charlie Wise to represent Division Three on the Board. He fills the unexpired term of Mr. Tommy Metcalf. Ms. Dawn Johnson, the Chair of our Board, noted that Mr. Wise is passionate, dedicated and enthusiastic about making a difference for students. She shared that he does this for the right reasons, that Mr. Wise is honest, forthright and we’ll always make student centered decisions,” said Hardin County Schools Spokesperson John Wright. Wise has served four times previously on the Board for Division 3. Wise will fill the seat for the rest of the term following the resignation of Tommy Metcalf who was elected to the seat in November but was unable to fill the seat due to a conflict concerning his employment as the fleet manager for the Elizabethtown Police Department.

Stephensburg Fire and Rescue Ask Public To Help Identify Truck In Theft Of Equipment

The Stephensburg Volunteer Fire and Rescue is asking the community to help identify a truck that stole a piece of equipment. On Friday night, the Department posted a video on their Facebook page showing a white truck leaving the premises with the trailer used to haul the UTV used for search and rescues. The Department is offering a reward for the return of the trailer or help positively identifying the person involved. The Department operates solely with volunteers and a small budget. The Department is now searching for another trailer to use until the trailer is hopefully recovered. Anyone with information is encouraged to contact the Hardin County Sheriff or the Stephensburg Fire and Rescue.
