  • Hometown news should be free

    You know your from Larue County when you live far, far away and you can read the Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, New York Times and hundreds of other newspapers ... but you can't read the Larue County Herald because you have to be a paid subscriber to read the paper online. And you can't subscribe to the free limited access account if you live outside the US and don't have a US mailing address

    Thank you Larue County Herald.

  • LETTER: Take care of your animals

    Winter, with its bitter wind, rain and snow, is rapidly approaching. Now is the time to check our dog houses, patching and repairing all cracks and leaks. It is also time for new, clean bedding. Straw is the best and this bedding will need to be replaced often; putting a board along the bottom of the door opening will help keep the bedding inside the house. Also, turning the door away from the wind helps protect your dog from the cold.

  • LETTER: Crawfords bid farewell to LaRue County

    For 34 years Bill and I have been members of this community. We have worked alongside you and watched your children grow into adults with children of their own.

    We’re moving to Leitchfield so we can be near our parents and while we look thankfully forward, we’re sad to leave this community behind.

  • LETTER: Remember the children during the holidays

    As we embark on the holiday season, our thoughts are filled with images of gathering around a table with relatives and loved ones. While we’ll spend plenty of time at shopping malls and parties in the coming weeks, the most festive and warming holiday setting remains the home.

    That is, if you have a home.

  • LETTER: Lincoln Memorial ceremony gave time to reflect

    I just wanted to thank everyone that helped with the centennial celebration of the dedication of the Lincoln Monument.

    The park was beautiful, the staff is very professional, and hearing our State Champion LaRue County High School Band play those particular selections made for a great event.

  • LETTER: Band of Hawks set record in 2000 that still stands

    I would like to comment on the statement made that the Band of Hawks had set a school high score at this year's AA West Regional competition of 89.2 in Owensboro, placing second overall.

    This is a very good score but it is on record that in 2000 Class 2A West Regionals in Hart County, LaRue County scored a 91.15 to take first place that year. The results can be viewed at http://marching.kyband.com/kmeascores/2000AAWestRegionals.html.

  • LETTER: Appreciation for Veterans Day program organizers

    I would like to express my appreciation to all who organized, sponsored and participated in the Veterans Day parade and ceremony.

    Those who were not in attendance missed a very meaningful and touching ceremony held at City Hall immediately following the parade.
