  • LETTER: The last word

    Shelby Tyler Smith always had to have the last word in any conversation that he was involved in.  He was a compassionate, caring, loving young man whose whole entire life revolved around serving the Lord.
    He touched the lives and hearts of many and we will miss him very much until the day we are reunited with him in the kingdom of heaven.  If Shelby could have one conversation with the people that he had never met, I believe with all my heart that it would start with one question, “Have you asked Jesus Christ into your heart?”

  • LETTER: Leaders should seek help from God

    Most of the news today is about going over the cliff. If our President and Congress would take a look at where America is at today with God, they would see that we have already fallen over the cliff and hit hard on the bottom.

  • COLUMN: 2013 legislative session overview

    Hello and happy New Year. As we start the New Year, so starts a new session in Frankfort. The 2013 session of the Kentucky General Assembly is 30 days long and is known as the “short” session.

  • COLUMN: I’d rather be safe than sorry

    Monday night I left the office well after dark and headed home just like I do every week day. But Monday was different because I ended up doing something I had never done before — I called in what I thought could have been an impaired driver.
    The driver didn’t cut me off and wasn’t weaving violently between the lines, but several things – including the vehicle’s slow drift into the median and slow drift over the right-hand line, speeds 15 miles below the limit and braking while driving under a clearly green light – caught my attention.

  • COLUMN: Make a resolution you can keep

    When going back over our newspapers from 2012, our staff recognized the tragedies that befell our dear county throughout the year — but we also noticed how the community has pulled together time after time, event after event to help those in need.
    At first, we decided to make our “community of giving” one of the top stories of the year, but we quickly realized there had been such an immense amount of giving in 2012 that it warranted a year-in-review-type story all to itself.

  • LETTER: Thanks for help with Toys for Tots

    Thanks to everyone for another great Toys for Tots year. A special thanks to my helper Dean Curtsinger, who made it without any illness this year; Becky Wilson and her crew for getting all the toys given out; Mary Williams and her helpers for their ability to keep the toys sorted; and not the least, all the places that had the toy boxes and kept us informed on toy counts and pickups.
