Residential nominations for National Register
Plans are being made at this time to pursue a Campbellsville Residential Historic District nomination for historic properties in the Lebanon Avenue, Duffy Street, Jackson Street, High Street, North Central Avenue and Maple Street residential areas.
The listing in the National Register provides recognition of the importance of a historic property, but it does not place any obligation or legal restriction on the use of the property by the owner.

Veterans deserve our thanks
It would be difficult to ever forget their faces ... faces I watched that day from behind the safe impersonality of my camera's lens.
They were the faces of the families of our local Kentucky National Guard members who were leaving for Operation Enduring Freedom three years ago this month ... parents and grandparents ... children and spouses.
The soldiers' faces were solemn and stoic. They were leaving to do their jobs. Their duty. But it was their families' faces that I remember best.

Proud parent of a soldier
Watching our kids grow up, we always wonder what they will grow up to be. We try to help them, but eventually it will be their own decision. We can only hope and pray that they will make good choices as they get older.
That brings me to Pfc. Montrell Durham. Montrell was a graduate of Campbellsville High School, where he played football. He liked playing, but as his father, I don't think he had the drive or motivation to be an outstanding player.

Mayor discusses annexation issue
Several council members and I have been visiting with residents in the proposed annexation area this past week. Several good questions have been asked by the residents and I thought it may be useful to those who will be voting on this issue to know the questions and answers prior to the election:
Will the school district change?
No, the city and county school districts have nothing to do with the city limits.
When will the sewer be installed?

Schools a non-issue with annexation
Someone somewhere said that information only brings us closer to our ignorance. Misinformation, it turns out, is far worse than some information, or no information at all.
We find that to be true in national and state politics where, evidently, you can make all manner of claims without documentation. It's evidently becoming a more and more acceptable practice. It's a game of who can misinform better than the other guy.
But misinformation certainly isn't isolated to national and state politics.

Our Opinion
Practice makes perfect. It may be an old saying, but there's a lot of truth there.
And if we practice something enough, then maybe when it comes time to do it for real, we won't have to think about how to do it, it will just come naturally.
That's the premise behind the fire department's annual Fire Prevention Week activities.
From preschool age on, children learn the phrase, "Stop, drop and roll." Ask any kid you see - they know what it means as well as how and when to do it.

Hospital doctor went beyond call
On Saturday, Sept. 22, at 3 p.m. in the afternoon, I was having severe trouble breathing. As soon as I arrived at Taylor Regional Hospital emergency room, the ER staff, including the ER doctor that day, attended to me immediately.
I just wanted to let Taylor County people and those in surrounding counties know how well trained the emergency room staff is. If I had not received immediate attention, I don't know what would have happened.

Make the people be heard
In a few weeks, the commonwealth of Kentucky will be hosting elections. As usual, we listen to all the criticism one candidate has for another. Most of this is half-truths. Anything goes that makes the other candidate look bad.
For the past term, we have had nothing but controversy coming out of Frankfort. This governor was elected on the promise to cleanup Frankfort. All we have had is more mudslinging and waste of taxpayer dollars. This governor has showed no respect for our laws and did pretty much what he wanted, abusing the office he swore to uphold.

Which will you choose?
We have a clear choice for life in the races for governor, attorney general and state auditor in the upcoming election.
Gov. Ernie Fletcher has not only spoken for life throughout his career as a politician, he has voted for innocent life on every occasion presented to him. Steve Beshear has been the exact opposite, not only throughout his political career, but he proudly proclaims his support of abortion.
