  • Letter to the editor - Carl Riggs

    Dear Editor,

    Changing my voter registration to Republican never seemed necessary. Being apolitical and generally apathetic most of my life, and given the anemic amount of Republican candidates ever on a Kentucky ballot always reinforced futility of such an effort. But for the last few years I did begin paying attention and forming opinions, and seeing that despite my national party’s ever present mantra of altruism it was or at least had become predatory and in no way represented those it took from or those it gave to.

  • Cosmetology school in Brockman Center - letter to the editor

    Dear editor,

    “The creation of beauty is art.” - Ralph Waldo Emerson

    There is “beautiful” renovation going on at the Campbellsville University Brockman Center on KY 210 at the northern outskirts of Hodgenville.

    Passers by can peak into the windows of the Brockman Center to see a laboratory taking shape. The laboratory is a new site for the Campbellsville University Cosmetology School. Come early December smock-wearing students, with cases in hand, will be arriving and instruction will get underway.

  • Letter to the editor - Nile and Ruth Riddle

    Dear Editor,

    Many people may take first emergency respondents for granted, but assuredly that was not the situation on Thursday, November 12, as a fire assisted by 20 to 30 mile winds rushed rampantly through our garage/tool shed.

    We appreciate the hard work and the effort that were given by the Buffalo and Hodgenville Fire Departments as they extinguished the fire and prevented it from spreading to other buildings on our farm. Thank you.

    Sincerley.

    Nile and Ruth Riddle

    Dear Editor,

    The Community Health Clinic of Hardin and LaRue Counties has been in existence since 2001 in Elizabethtown. This clinic was created to serve the working poor in Hardin and Laure Counties. Over the years our services expanded to include those that had no income. In 2014, with the implementation of the ACA, many of our patients qualified for the Medicaid expansion, but those that did not, remained with the clinic after getting on Kynect and finding that the insurance was out of their reach financially.

  • Concern over Kynect

     

    Dear Editor,

    I am a LaRue County native writing in concern to the livelihood of many of my friends and family. In the past few days, it has occurred to me how many people I know who will lose their healthcare if our governor “guts” Kynect and the Medicaid expansion. Not just my husband, but our parents, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and siblings as well as numerous friends and acquaintances.

  • Harp Twins visit, thank you

    Dear Editor,

    A simple thank you seems so inadequate to the community of Hodgenville for their support of the Harp Twins concert event. Even though this event happened in a two day span; months of time, energy, and preparation went before the event.

  • Letter to the editor - Gary Gardner

    Dear Editor,

    A few people already know this, but for several months I have been working on a book about the Lincoln family centered upon a look at their neighbors in what is today LaRue County. History, both written and oral, has left us with a slanted interpretation of life here in the early 19th century.  We have a collective impression of a rather primitive society, which is far from the truth. There was, in fact, a wealth of social and economic diversity here 200 years ago, much as there is today.
