  • Thanks for help in difficult time

    We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone for all the support you have given us since Austin became ill.  There is not room in this letter to name everyone who has touched our lives these past few months, but you all know who you are. To those who worked so hard on the two benefits we are eternally grateful. To all the businesses that donated items for the benefits we Thank You so much. To everyone who has called, sent a card, brought food, visited, came to the benefits, or just said a prayer for Austin, we will never forget your thoughtfulness.

  • If KHS cared, they would help

    I read the piece on the Kentucky Humane Society pulling out on us. Why don’t you do some real investigating and learn the real reason? It is because they are all about making money not animal welfare.

    They don’t want us to shoot dogs (25-cents per bullet), they put dangerous dogs down too, but don’t want the blood on their hands.
    If they really cared about animals they would help us. They make a ton of money with their pet hotels so that is there new “mission?”

  • Something old is something new

    As you flip through the pages of your Local today, you might notice a few things that are, well, different.

    The first is immediately opposite of this page — Local Buzz.

    The Local staff decided a few months ago that our community calender, or bulletin board, could use a change.

    We wanted to add a few things and remove a couple things, and present them in a more eye catching way.

    Cindy DiFazio and Tawnja Morris came up with the name —Local Buzz, and the rest is history.

  • Eminence resident thankful for holiday help

    My name is Jimmy Goodloe and at the start of November, I became sick at home and had to be admitted to the hospital for almost a week. I ended up having to take two months off of work as I was too sick to go back to work.

    If not for family and friends, myself, my wife and my son would not have had a Thanksgiving dinner and I want to say from me and my family, thanks for everything they did for us.

  • What does the President’s “budget freeze” really mean?

    During his annual State of the Union address, President Barack Obama called for a five-year freeze on discretionary spending.  I appreciate the President’s recognition that limits must be placed on federal spending.
