Judge Conley pardoned by Big Ern…

Well, never let it be said that it’s more about what you’ve done than who you know.  Apparently, being a "friend"…(aka, Republican)…of outgoing (and now GONE) Kentucky Governor Ernie "Hey, they did it, too!" Fletcher can have its benefits.  If you’ve been a supporter of Fletcher over the years, and you need a little help, he can make it happen.

Tricks or Treats…

Just a message to let everyone know that Trick or Treat here in West Liberty will be tonight, October 30, from 5:30 to 7:30.  UNITE will be at Old Mill Park handing out candy to the kids again this year if you’d like to take the kids.  From what I was told, it was pretty heavily attended last year, so it could be pretty crowded again this year.

Also, here are some interesting stories about some Halloween candy myths and urban legends:
