Becoming an Eagle Scout is a goal of thousands of Boy Scouts across the U.S., and is usually achieved by the time a scout reaches his late teens.

So when Prospect resident Logan Salazar earned the honor before his 13th birthday, it took a big achievement and amplified it.

“To be that focused and to get that much done at 12 years old is huge,” Don Vogel, Logan’s scoutmaster, said. “And it’s not lost on him.”

Two Crestwood natives joined thousands of others this week in showing the resolve of Boston by running in this year’s Boston Marathon.

This year’s marquee race took place on Monday, roughly one year after bombings took place at the finish line that killed three and injured more than 200.

Melissa Christensen and Ande Gorce, neighbors in the Magnolia Place subdivision, joined more than 36,000 in running the 2014 marathon.

Christensen, who ran the marathon in 2012 as well, said the atmosphere this year was “incredible.”

Oldham County Schools have made policy changes and two employees have resigned after a preschool student was left unattended on a bus for three hours April 21, OCS Superintendent Will Wells said.

According to Wells, the student was unattended after all other students were dropped off for afternoon preschool at 11:30 a.m. April 21. When the child’s parents arrived to pick the student up at 2:20 p.m., school officials realized the student was missing.

CRESTWOOD – North Oldham’s goal Tuesday night was to put rival South Oldham away early. That’s exactly what the Lady Mustangs did.

Baylee Willett scored three of her game-high four goals in the first 11 minutes and North cruised to a 13-3 road win.

The win was the Lady Mustangs’ third this year against their county rivals.

“Our plan when we talked to the girls was to score early and score often,” coach Jaclyn Harbin said. “That’s what we have to do.”
