Sheriff Everhart 30th anniversary message

Posted by Staff on Tuesday, January 2, 2024

Hardin County Sheriff Keith Everhart posted the following message on his department's Facebook page on December 28.

Today marks my 30th year at the Sheriff’s Office. I began my career at the S/O December 28th, 1993. It has been quite the journey and I could not be more proud of the things that have been accomplished over the past 30 years. I spent 15 years as a Deputy working under Sheriff George Smith and then Sheriff Craig Leeth before being elected as Sheriff myself. I thank them both for the opportunities and guidance they gave me. The last 15 years I’ve spent as your Sheriff and am so humbled by the fact that you all have allowed me to have the best job in the world. I appreciate the support you have shown me and my staff over the years. We are a team, I’ve accomplished nothing alone. This is a team effort profession and let me tell you, you have the best people ever working at the Hardin County S/O.

I would be remiss if I did not acknowledge my family and friends. The support and understanding they’ve shown me over the years is amazing. I could not do this job without them. I thank them and love them all.

Weekend Doctor: Sports injuries

Posted by Staff on Sunday, December 31, 2023

Sports injuries can be a challenging setback for athletes, affecting not only their physical well-being but also their mental resilience. Whether you are a seasoned athlete or a “weekend warrior,” understanding common sports injuries and knowing how to take care of them is crucial for a speedy recovery and long-term health.

One of the most prevalent sports injuries is the sprain. Sprains occur when ligaments, the tough bands connecting bones within a joint, are stretched or torn. Ankle sprains are particularly common, often resulting from sudden twists or awkward landings. Immediate treatment involves the R.I.C.E. method: rest, ice, compression, and elevation. Rest the injured area, apply ice to reduce swelling, use compression to support the injured area, and elevate it to minimize fluid accumulation.
