  • A resolution to learn the Tao of dog

    If I ever found myself foolish enough to think I would stick with a resolution for a year, I would steal my dogs’ wisdom.

    We have a weimaraner and labrador mixed dog her name is Tilly and a beagle mixed with what we think is a blue healer named Henry. Henry looks very much like Snoopy and makes similar sounds as the Peanuts character with a custom for snorting when you directly ask him questions.

    These two beasts are mentally superior and I have a lot to learn from them.

  • Resolution: yea or nay?

    By Candy Clarke

     

    Here we go. Another year is about to begin and it’s time to decide if we are going to commit ourselves to a particular course of action or not. Do we really want to be bothered with making New Year’s Resolutions yet again? How about the old ones? Could we just recycle them? Or maybe, we could just take one year off without doing any new resolutions.

  • A letter of thanks

    Thanks for help with Nativity

    We wish to thank everyone who had a part in any way with the Bethlehem Living Nativity this year.

    It takes a lot of very dedicated people who give their time and talents to make sure this great tradition continues each and every year.

    May you all be blessed with the love of our Savior Jesus Christ throughout this new year and beyond. Until next year!

  • A sports fan’s Christmas wish list

    With another Christmas behind us and a new year fast approaching, I thought I might share my sports wish list for 2013.

    1. A Warrior-Wildcat district final. This season it may be more likely than at any time in recent memory. The Warriors are rolling right now, while the Wildcats are struggling, but the young Wildcats will improve as the season goes on and I believe they will be playing their best ball down the stretch when it counts the most.

  • Holiday food may be a gift from Kentucky

    One of the hallmarks of the holidays is that there never seems to be a shortage of good food to eat.  From turkey on Thanksgiving to homemade candy at Christmas, it’s usually easy to find something to fill up a plate.
    Increasingly, there’s a strong chance that this food has a Kentucky connection as well, though that may not always be readily known when we reach into the pantry or the refrigerator.

  • Time puts all things in perspective

     

    I have some stories and people that I can’t shake.

    One story involved a woman, Ms. Anna Marie Davis, who at 103 years old still had a lucid mind and sharp memory. I interviewed her while working as the roving reporter for Landmark Community Newspaper in Bardstown. She turned 103 last year and had a sister who lived to 105.

  • Donations will help

    I applaud the project to provide community opportunities to help with the upkeep on the Eminence cemetery.  It is one of the ways that individuals can get involved to make sure that the cemeteries in the country are well maintained.

  • Youth sets example

    Hats off to a 14-year-old who single-handedly planned, acquired, organized and carried off a fun and festive evening for Light Up Pleasureville.

    Many of us adults could learn from this young man’s interest, zeal and determination for the betterment of our community. How extraordinary! Our out-of-town guests were in awe that it takes a 14-year-old to set the example!

    And a big thank you to Santa (Tom Smith)! You certainly impressed my granddaughters with your wisdom!
