Too close to call.
That could be the word in at least three of the races in yesterday's primary election.
Unofficial vote totals show County Clerk Eva Miller barely hanging on to defeat challenger Casey
Davis by seven votes; Gary Johnson, incumbent magistrate of District 2 held on to hold off challengers David "Frog" Wethington and Jerry Sandusky, who were within seven and eight votes, respectively; and District 1 incumbent magistrate Kenny Morgan lost his seat by 10 votes to Mark Meece.
Miller, who sat in the clerk's office and recorded the totals as they came in, said it was a very emotional night for her as she could tell her race was extremely close.
"I kept repeating to myself, 'God is in control, win, lose or draw,'" she said. "I prayed all day I'd be able to accept (the results)."

A Labor of Love

Relay for Life is always a special event, but this year's Relay will be just a little more special to one
local woman. Pam Wall Bryant has spent the better part of a year working on a labor of love - a quilt that honors cancer survivors and those who have lost their lives to the disease.
On Friday night, at Casey County's 9th Relay for Life, Bryant's quilt will be given to one lucky person who has bought the winning ticket on a priceless item.
"When I first started this, it was just a quilt," Bryant said. "But it's much more than a quilt. Each leaf has a story."
