Christmas Day
Pair of porkers returned

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,”

Bad-tasting medicine
best recycling solution

state last year could prove to be the most expensive “free”
money Anderson County has ever received.
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

TYRONE QUARRY SELECTED AS FALLOUT SHELTER
THE WAY WE WERE
In the photo of the Lawrence-
burg High Band that ran Dec. 12.
the young fellow just to Leslie
Toll’s right, who is not identified,
looks very much like Phil Swift,
according to an email from Jim
McKee.
McKee says the fellow identi-
fied as Phil Swift, does not look
like him and is holding a clarinet,
but Phil was a very good trumpet
player and the other guy is hold-
ing a trumpet.
“I wonder if the young man
standing directly beneath the bell
of the Sousaphone might be Billie
Humston,” wrote McKee. “His two
older brothers are there — Eddie
and Charles.”
