  • It’s your privilege: Give a heart on Valentine’s Day

     By Candy Clarke

    Just when you thought you had the holidays behind you! Having survived the sometimes frantic activities and financial expenses of three major holidays: Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years; you probably feel like you can begin to breathe calmly for a change. Not so fast! The game of life isn’t going to let us off the hook that easily. So, take a big deep breath and steel yourself for Feb. 14, otherwise known as Valentine’s Day in  western cultures.

  • A new approach

    Prior to the mid-1970s, Kentucky’s judiciary looked nothing as it does today. There were nearly 1,000 courts back then, with many often having overlapping jurisdictions, and there was only one high court to handle all appeals. In a word, it was inefficient.

  • Change equals frustrating growing pains

    The saying goes a little like this: Change is inevitable.

    Earlier this month, we had a big, big change: Landmark Webpress — the plant that printed our paper for almost 30 years — closed. That meant we would print at a new location.

    As with all transitions, there have been some growing pains.

    The paper looked a little off the first week at our new plant, but we think we’ve gotten a pretty good handle on that one.

    But the other issues have been more difficult.

  • Trash the butts

    It isn’t trash! Or is it? Would you throw that cigarette butt on your living room floor, on your kitchen floor? Of course not! You’d be sure it wasn’t burning, and you’d put it in the trash. After all, a cigarette butt is trash, isn’t it? Look at our streets and roadsides. Cigarette butts, tossed carelessly, line our curbs, parking lots and roadsides.

  • Honored to call you friends

    On behalf of my wife and family, I’d like to thank all of you who have been supporting us with prayers and help during my battle with cancer. Since my August diagnosis, we have been blessed with hundreds of cards, letters, prayer supports from churches, organizations and individuals, and tremendous outpourings of friendship from the county and beyond! It has been nothing short of amazing, and we are very indebted to you all!

  • Is no exception just greed?

    No extensions, no exceptions

    For the sake of argument with times being tight for a lot of people still struggling to make ends meet, why is Eminence Water Works doing this? If most of us customers are not paying our bills on time, I could understand some restrictions, but if that’s not the case then I would like for them to explain the reasons for this.

  • Hide your scissors!

    Start hording your scissors because the government is coming after them!

    A headline on WAVE3.com states that scissors were used in an attack on a man.

    Okay, this may be silly and I do not wish to make light of the recent shooting tragedies in our country. My heart goes out to all those who suffered loss especially of their children.

    As a father of five (soon to be six), I can assure you that I would be the first outraged and possibly the saddest of all if anything happened to one of my children. I can’t imagine.

  • A cause worth your money

    Are you sick of those annoying phone calls from telemarketers? Do you struggle as I do when deciding which cause should receive your hard-earned cash? How many checks do you write each year to help worthy causes? Do you really know where the money goes?
