Crusade donations assist local schools
Firefighters with the Campbellsville and Taylor County fire departments will begin collecting for the Crusade for Children fundraising campaign tomorrow.
Unlike years past, there will be no door-to-door collections, only roadblocks set up at major intersections throughout town.
This means we all need to drive a little slower and more carefully than usual.
It also means we should search our hearts (and our pockets) and give what we can to this worthwhile charity.

Best of luck, graduates
Friday marks the official end of childhood for Campbellsville and Taylor County high school seniors. Adulthood is now directly in front of them.
Graduates have important decisions to make - whether to continue their education or head straight into the job market. Then there's marriage, family and other important life choices. No matter the path they choose, we wish all of them the very best of luck.
The CHS ceremony is at 6:30 and the TCHS ceremony at 7:30.

Don't forget to remember
Memorial Day is a time set aside to specifically honor the memory of those who have died in our nation's service.
It is because of their sacrifices on our behalf that we live in freedom today, so it's only fitting that there be a day set aside especially for honoring them.
Pope John Paul II once said, "War should belong to the tragic past, to history: it should find no place on humanity's agenda for the future." However, as long as there is evil in the world, the right will fight against it.

A resolution everyone can live with
After more than three months of back-and-forth discussion, the issue of funding Rescue and E-911 has finally been decided for the next four years.
Monday's joint meeting of Campbellsville City Council and Taylor Fiscal Court provided several proposals to settle how these services could be funded.
After two and a half hours of discussion, however, the decision to simply divide the shortfalls of the two entities evenly between the city and county seemed to be the most fair and equitable solution.

How long will we have to wait?
How long has this been goin' on?
How long has this been goin' on?
Well, your friends with their fancy persuasions
Don't admit that it's part of a scheme,
But I can't help but have my suspicions
'Cause I ain't quite as dumb as I seem.
And you said you were never intendin'
To break up our scene in this way,
But there ain't any use in pretendin',

Has the time come?
The rhetoric continues ... or does it? There have been a multitude of discussions at City Council and Fiscal Court meetings over the past two months regarding the responsibility of providing E-911 and Rescue service.

Honor our mothers
Mother's Day comes but once a year. But, honestly, it should be celebrated every day of the year.
We all have mothers ... either by birth or in someone we look to as a mother figure. They are the women who comfort us when we need comforting, encourage us when we need encouragement, who teach us right from wrong, who love us even when we feel we have failed them.
And Sunday is their day.

Enough of the bickering
Campbellsville City Council and Taylor Fiscal Court have taken a step … we just hope it’s a step forward rather than a step backward.
From Day One, it seems there’s been nothing but bickering back and forth between the two government entities about the future of Rescue and E-911.
Last week, the city approved an agreement that would give control of Rescue to the county and keep the E-911 Center under city oversight. However, they also included some contingencies.
