  • 'Tis not the season to be jolly for everyone

    With the sounds of Christmas music all around, chestnuts roasting on an open fire and crowds at the local shopping center, surely it is a time to be happy and bright. With families gathering for food and fun and presents, everyone must enjoy this most special time of year.

    Actually, no, this is not a happy season for everyone.

    For some this holiday season will be a time of sadness and tears. They will watch as others are happy and bright, but they will not share those feelings. For them, the holidays will be endured, not enjoyed.

  • Take time to give thanks

    Today is a day officially set aside as a time for gratitude. And those of us who live in Campbellsville and Taylor County have so much for which to be grateful.

    Most of us will sit down with family members and friends for a meal that can only be described as a feast. We can also be thankful that we have friends and neighbors and churches who will be there for those who don't have family and friends nearby or for those who don't have the resources to provide their own feasts.

  • Don't you wish they'd make up their minds?

    "In Reversal, Panel Urges Mammograms at 50, Not 40." That was the headline.

    New York Times reporter Gina Kolata's story last week just made me shake my head in frustration.

    For years, we've been told of the importance of yearly mammograms once women hit age 40. They're not painful for most of us, but they're no picnic either. But it was important for our health because it was the "gold standard" for detecting early breast cancer. The experts also stressed the importance of monthly breast self-examinations.

    The man found guilty of shooting a Campbellsville woman and kidnapping her brother in 2003 has filed another appeal, asking a Taylor Circuit Court judge to vacate his sentence.
