  • Fastline donation funds computer lab

    When the Oldham County Public Library opened the new main library in La Grange in January, the facility had an empty room. 

    Due to some cost overruns and being mindful of the new year’s budget in tough economic times, the library administration decided that a new computer lab planned for the building would have to wait to be furnished and equipped.

    Thanks to a generous donation from Fastline Publications, there is now a lab equipped with 12 new Dell computers, desks and comfortable chairs.

  • Prospect police will soon debut hybrid police cruisers

    Two gas-electric hybrid police cars could debut in Prospect as early as Friday, Mayor Todd Eberle said, making it the first city in Kentucky to utilize carbon-reducing cruisers.

    Prospect could eventually add a total of nine Ford Escape Hybrids to its police fleet — one for each full-time patrol 

    officer. 

    Each SUV would be adapted for police use and equipped with energy-saving LED lights.

    The SUVs cost about $28,000, Eberle said, and will replace the department’s aging fleet of gas-guzzling Ford Crown Victoria Police Interceptors.
