Letters

  • LETTER: Cemetery flowers: Thou shalt not steal

     On a very nice fall day, as countless many previous times, I drove into Red Hill Cemetery.

    The scene was so beautiful; a nice smooth pavement, the result of a job well done – the many hues of the leaves glistening in the sun. In all, a perfect day to enjoy a visit and pay respect to my parents; that is, until I approached only to discover someone had taken not only the beautiful fall arrangement of my parents, as well as the decorative wrought iron stand to which they were attached.

  • LETTER: Blood drive was successful

     Thank you to the 25 individuals who volunteered to donate blood on Oct. 9 at the Hodgenville Woman’s Club.

    One individual gave using the “double red” procedure. We received 25 good units of blood and met our goal.

    Thanks to Rob Brown, Becky Loyall and Linda Stearman for assisting at the drive and The Sweet Shoppe for a tray of candy.

    Many thanks for your support of the community blood drive which is sponsored by the Hodgenville Woman’s Club.

    The next blood drive is Dec. 11.

  • LETTER: Thank you from Springhaven

     Nationally, one in four women and about one in seven men will experience serious effects of domestic violence in their lifetime. Sadly, there are also more than three million children who witness and are affected by domestic violence in their home each year.

  • LETTER: Washington prescribes Wall Street rules for Main Street

     It’s a long way from Wall Street, but communities such as LaRue County are on track to face the kinds of regulations imposed on the monumental financial institutions in New York. Regulations due out in a matter of weeks would unnecessarily subject Main Street community banks to the same complex capital requirements as Wall Street megabanks. If you don’t think that’s going to make a tangible difference that will hurt LaRue County, think again.

  • LETTER: Live arts coming to Hodgenville

     I like saying, “Once in a Blue Moon.” It seems funny to say. The term refers to certain long or extra day months that offer two full moons within the same one-month cycle and we recently experienced one.

    We are about to experience something equally as rare: live stage arts entertainment. On Oct. 26, 27 and 28, Campbellsville University Theatre Department will perform “Hairspray: Broadway’s Big Fat Musical Comedy Hit.” This performance will occur at the Hodgenville Civic Center.

  • LETTER: Project Graduation

     Project Graduation is a nationally recognized alcohol and drug-free party designed to give high school graduates a safe alternative to celebrating their special night. Statistics have shown that students celebrating on the evening of graduation can experience one of the most dangerous nights of their young lives.
