Furthermore, he said all eyes are on Glenwood Mill Road, and its potential for heavy flooding during excessive rains.— During his closing conversation, Humphries again confirmed that the work of the Trigg County Senior Citizens Center and Director Cissy Lawrence is pivotal to the community.— Dates of importance: Elisha Kite’s retirement reception as full-time director of the Pennyrile District Health Department will be from 2-4 PM Thursday at the Lyon County Convention Center, and county offices will be closed Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day.
