  • 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!

  • Give to the less fortunate

    Enjoy your Christmas gifts.

    Christmas is the most wonderful day of the year because it celebrates the birth of our Savior Jesus Christ, but some of us think of it as a time to receive gifts. I would like to ask you a question: do you have a home, clothes to wear, food to eat, a job, and a family and friends that love you?

    If you can answer with a yes, then you are enjoying the most precious gifts that anyone could ask for, so what else would anyone need if they have all those things?

  • Yes, it’s that time of year again

    By Candy Clarke

     

    It’s that time of year, again: the time of year when young children begin to gather information and plague everyone with  questions. Is there really a Santa Claus? Does Santa really live at North Pole? Is there really a Santa Claus house? These questions and more seem to occupy their little minds from just after Thanksgiving all the way to Christmas morning.

  • The real gift of Christmas

    It’s December and Christmas is just around the corner!  Most folks are scrambling to get it all together before the big day arrives and praying that they can keep themselves together until torn wrapping paper is thrown out, the leftovers are distributed to guests and sent away, and they can fall peacefully into bed. It is such a wonderful, crazy time of the year.

  • What is that? What do you do?

    These are two questions I have heard often during my three years’ membership in the Eminence Education Foundation.     Actually, many natives of Eminence are not familiar with the work of the Education Foundation.

  • Preservation for cemetery reflects respect

    The national resurgence of interest in the Lincoln era, the movie Lincoln, the book Killing Lincoln seems to coincide with the recent activity to renew our own Eminence Cemetery, which is also a Lincoln era creation.

    The Kentucky Legislature charted the Eminence Cemetery in 1860. The first burial was in 1864. There are surely many incidents in the long history of the cemetery that are entwined in our state and national history.

  • A past due Thanksgiving notice

    My parents and grandparents ingrained a sense of thankfulness in all of us in my family.

     I am past due, since the holidays approach more rapidly every year, on giving my thanks in the spirit of the Thanksgiving holiday.

    First and foremost, I must thank local historian Hammer Smith for allowing me to divert his attention every few weeks from important research.
