  • This week, a little about a lot

    As I watched the stoplight turn from green to yellow, then red - for the fourth time - I started to wonder about those people who design intersections.

    I was sitting at an exit at the center of Green River Plaza one afternoon last week. It was after work and I was making a quick stop before heading home.

    My vehicle was sixth in line at the light to cross KY 210. I planned to drive straight across and on to the bypass. However, everyone in front of me wanted to turn left.

  • A learning experience

    A man by the name of Tom Bodett once said, "The difference between school and life? In school you are taught a lesson then given a test. In life, you are given a test and then taught a lesson."

    My experience as an intern at the Central Kentucky News-Journal has certainly been a test for me. It has been a test of character and one that has shown me what I am truly capable of.

    It has imprinted into my memory the idea that I can do whatever it is I set my mind to do. I have learned that hard work and dedication are key to making any experience successful.

    For the past 19 years, Dan Kelly, R-Springfield, has served Kentucky as a state senator, so it only stands to reason that he would be addressed by that title. Not so.

    "You can't call me that anymore," Kelly joked when addressed as "Sen. Kelly" in a Monday interview.

    Following the news of his appointment to a vacant judgeship in the 11th Judicial Circuit, Kelly said he is pleased to have received the honor from Gov. Steve Beshear.
