Knox County Mayor Glenn Jacobs said that s where everyone can help out. Suicide is one of the things that we don t like to talk about, obviously, but it s something that we need to talk about, Mayor Jacobs said. Just because you can t see a problem like we can if we have a physical ailment, doesn t mean that it s not there and it s not real.
Jacobs said no matter what happens, it s important to remember that there is always hope. If you don t go on, you re never going to know what tomorrow might hold, he said. There s a lot of people out there that really do care, that really do love you and want to help and want to love on you.

The Knox County Commission is poised to take the first of two steps to narrow its options for placing public notices to a single publication run by a longtime Republican with close ties to local officials.
The change would limit the county to placing legally required public notices only in non-subscription based newspapers that are distributed locally. The notices are for items like upcoming public meetings, auction times, surplus property sales and solicitations for bids. It was lobbied for at last week s commission meeting by County Mayor Glenn Jacobs and Commissioner Kyle Ward and unanimously advanced by the commission.
