  • LETTER: Thirty-three donated blood

    Thank you to the 33 individuals who volunteered to donate blood on April 9 at the Hodgenville Woman’s Club. Four individuals gave using the “double red” procedure.

    We received 36 good units of blood and met our goal.

    Thanks to Rob Brown, Becky Loyall and Lois Whelan for assisting at the drive and The Sweet Shop and Geneva’s Florist for items donated.

  • Shameful: Kentucky is tops in child abuse

    It’s not always a good thing to be at the top of a list. In a region ranked among the best in the country for college sports, places to raise a family and start a business, there is one ranking many of us may not be aware of and one we must change immediately. Kentucky is one of the top – meaning worst – states in the nation for frequency of child abuse and deaths due to non-accidental trauma.

  • LETTER: Egg hunt was an awesome event

    Awesome Events and The LaRue County Fairgrounds would like to extend a special thanks and appreciation to all the businesses and individuals who helped us make our Easter egg hunt at the fairgrounds on March 23, such a success.  We couldn't have done it without each and everyone of you.

    Thank you all.

  • LETTER: Family appreciates firefighters

    Family appreciates help

    A special thank you to the Buffalo and LaRue County fire departments for going the extra mile in helping me when my home burned down and I lost everything. A special thanks to LeeAnn and Wayne. You never know how goodhearted people are until you need help.

    May God bless and keep all of you safe.

    Patty Webb and family

  • COLUMN: Obama's broken promise

     A recent study published by the Society of Actuaries — the nation's leading group of financial risk analysts, and as non-partisan a group as you will find — revealed that thanks to Obamacare, the costs of medical claims for Kentuckians next year would rise an average of 34 percent. With wages stagnant and gas and tuition prices skyrocketing, these premium increases will be especially devastating for middle-class families.

  • COLUMN: Grace is extended to thieves like me

     Just when I think I'm beyond doing something particularly horrendous and downright wrong, I do it.

    I stole a packet of Sweet 'N Low the other day.

    I put it back, because I felt guilty. Actually, I put it back because my daughter caught me, and then I felt guilty. But putting it back doesn't change the fact that I'm a Sweet 'N Low thief.

  • LETTER: Looking for photos of Ovesen Heights

     My father was pastor of Ovesen Heights Baptist Church from about 1972 to 1976.

    I am looking for photos of all the churches where he pastored. I recall being in the 25-member youth choir with Beulah Davenport leading. My mother played the piano.

    I have been a minister of music and youth since 1979 and am still going strong with a youth group of 22.

    If you have photos of the church you are willing to share, please send them or contact me at jimmyjj333@gmail.com.
