Deadline to register for Radcliff Days Parade is Friday

Friday, September 1 is the deadline to register for the Radcliff Days Parade, which will be held beginning at 10 a.m. on Saturday, September 9.

Radcliff Parks and Recreation Director Tim Jeffries says all are welcome to register for the parade, for which the theme this year is “Golden Days.”

“They came up with that as a combination between Gabby Barrett, the attraction for Boundary Oak’s Bourbon and Blades, and bringing back the old-time stuff from the Golden Armor Festival, trying to tie all that together,” Jeffries said.

Jeffries says the theme is a reflection of good times that were had as well as good times that are on the horizon.

“We’re getting a lot of growth with the Ford plant in Glendale,” Jeffries said. “A lot of that is kind of trickling up towards our area and we’re just to see it, and we want to celebrate it.”

There are no entry fees for the parade, but entry forms should be turned in by Friday.

“All they’ve got to do is just fill out the parade entry form that they can find on our Facebook page,” Jeffries said. “Just fill it out, then bring it over to Colvin Community Center and we’ll get you lined up in the parade.”

Elizabethtown woman sentenced for CARES Act fraud

A woman from Elizabethtown was sentenced this week to a term in federal prison.

The Department of Justice says Kelly Woods will serve two years and nine months for charges related to her submission of three fraudulent CARES Act applications.

The United States Attorney’s Office for the Western District of Kentucky says that court documents show Woods filed three fraudulent applications for Paycheck Protection Program loans between May of 2020 and December of 2021, which resulted in the theft of more than $1.3 million. 

An investigation by the FDIC’s Office of the Inspector General and the FBI showed that Woods organized LB Acquisitions LLC after the onset of the pandemic, and exaggerated the number of employees and payroll expenses of that entity and Philips Healthcare LLC.

Following her release from prison, Woods will serve three years on supervised release. She was also ordered to pay more than $1.3 million in restitution and a $15,000 fine.
