But Cops chase TOP 10 STORIES OF 2012 down escaped pigs on Christmas Day Pair of porkers returned to poke near Thoroughbred Estates By Ben Carlson News staff Forget chasing criminals. On Christmas Day, nearly a half-dozen police offers spent the better part of an hour chasing two pigs around Thorough- bred Estates, a housing development on North Main Street. Officer Jeremy Cornish of the Lawrence- burg Police Department said he and other officers with the Kentucky State Police and Anderson County Sheriff’s Office were involved in tracking down two pigs that had escaped from a pen at the end of Walk- er Lane near Peachtree Estates. “Someone called dispatch and com- plained about pigs being in the roadway,” Cornish said the following day. Joining Cornish in the chase were city officers Shawn Wells and Clay Crouch along with Trooper Jason Briscoe and Depu- ty Tony Likens, Cornish said. “We chased them on foot and with cruis- ers from Secretariat Drive back to the end of Walker Lane,” Cornish said, adding that he had never spent a Christmas Day chas- ing pigs before. “The pigs made it back home safe and are back in their pen,” he said.

No. 2: Wild Turkey, Four Roses sink millions into improvements From staff reports The increased popularity of bourbon across globe was good news for Anderson County as both of its distilleries sunk mil- lions into expanded facilities. Wild Turkey made the biggest splash by announcing in February that bottling its world-famous brand would return to Law- renceburg after leaving in 2006. The distillery’s $44 million bottling plant remains under construction and is expected to provide around 60 new jobs. Then in August, Wild Turkey broke ground on a new $4 million visitor center which will be perched atop Wild Turkey hill and overlook the Kentucky River. Those investments, coupled with a $50 million still the year before, brings Wild Turkey’s recent investments to nearly $100,000 million since the brand was pur- chased several years ago by Campari. Four Roses also got into the act by unveiling its own new multi-million dollar visitor center. CEO Hideki Horiguchi said in 2004, Four Roses Distillery attracted only 1,000 visi- tors. This year, however, the distillery will be anticipating more than 50,000 tourists walking through its doors. “This visitor center will literally be a foundation in success … for years to come,” File photo Horiguchi, who added the distillery has Gov.

Like cash from a loan shark, that grant came with some mighty big strings attached, including that the coun- ty construct a recycling building. That building has become genuine nightmare for the fiscal court, which on Thursday rejected four bids — the lowest coming in at more than double the $325,000 magistrates voted to spend to have it built. The building was originally expected to cost around $78,000. Upon further review, it was deter- mined that a $325,000 building would be a better deal because it would drastically reduce labor costs and Ben pay for itself in short order. Carlson But when bids for the building were opened dur- Publisher ing a special-called meeting Thursday morning, the lowest was for just short of $670,000; the highest nearly $780,000. Let that soak in for a moment. A building that was originally planned to cost $78,000 is now up to $670,000, a whop- ping 750 percent increase. LETTERS TO THE EDITOR The fiscal court had no choice but to reject all bids, leaving Magistrate David Ruggles to say, “What do we do now?” Good question.
