Lightning strike injures 10 at burial

        DRESDEN, Tenn. — Ten people, including a young boy, were taken to the hospital Saturday after lightning struck at a burial.

        Dresden police officer Britt McClain said family and friends of Larry Young, 40, a former sports reporter for The Paducah (Ky.) Sun, had gathered to bury him at Sunset Cemetery.

        Dickie Young, brother of the deceased, said lightning apparently struck the antenna of a parked van about 3:30 p.m. then spread to some of the people who were holding umbrellas.

        The injured, whose names were not released, were taken to Methodist Volunteer Hospital in Martin. Officer McClain said some were treated and released, and others may be kept overnight.

Woman sues to have her property rezoned

        VERSAILLES, Ky. — The mother of state Rep. Joe Barrows and a development corporation have sued the city for denying a zone change on property she owns.

        Josephine Barrows and Bluegrass Tradition LLC want a judge to overturn the city council's denial of the zone change.

        Josephine Barrows owns a 48-acre farm now zoned for agricultural use. The lawsuit asks a judge to reinstate the recommendation of a local planning commission that the property be rezoned for residential use.

        The Barrows and another family had hoped to build 161 single-family homes and townhouses on the property.

        But opponents said the plan was only sprawl disguised as “smart growth.”
