A domestic dispute ended last Monday with a man in the hospital with multiple gunshot wounds and his wife behind bars.

Last Tuesday afternoon, Mark Lundy, 34, was listed in fair condition at University Hospital in Louisville. Lundy’s wife, Jill Renee Lundy, 30, was still in custody at the Nelson County Jail on a $50,000 cash bond. She is being charged with first-degree assault (domestic violence), a class B felony.

The Kentucky Standard and The Springfield Sun added a new member to their teams recently with the hiring of Lizzy Haydon for the position of advertising sales consultant.

Haydon takes over one of the positions held by Shorty Lassiter who served in the role for 25 years until transitioning into semi-retirement and a part-time position later this month.

Last Friday, the Washington County fiscal court met in a regularly scheduled meeting. The main topic of discussion was the approval of employee raises that had been tabled during the last court meeting.

There was little discussion before the magistrates unanimously approved the previously discussed two-percent raise. However, there was one exception. In an earlier court session, Washington County Jailer Steve Hardin had presented his budget with a three-percent raise across the board for he and his employees.
