It’s about time to see ghosts, princesses and vampires making their way down our streets.

Halloween is a fun holiday when we are children. But when we grow up, we aren’t the ones getting candy, we’re dishing it out.

The Campbellsville City Council discussed trick-or-treating at its last meeting.

Safety was the focal point, and proposed was closing part of Lebanon Avenue to be sure to keep track of all of our goblins. Sounds like a great idea to me.

Spoiler alert: A character died on Monday night's episode of "The Big C."

If you haven't been watching the show, it characterizes Cathy Jamison's life after she gets the news that she has terminal cancer.

The show is touching, plain and simple. It's also a bit raunchy and over the top, but the message still hits pretty close to home.

I was ashamed of myself, at how far I'd let myself go. As I lay at the bottom of the stairwell, my doctor's advice to lose weight or lose my knee repeatedly looped in my head.

Every once in a while, I get a story that makes an impression upon me. Don't misunderstand me, I take all of my stories seriously, but some of them just hit closer to home.

The numbers are staggering.

There have been 15 sex crime arrests this year, the same as for the entire 2010 calendar year.

Local officials told me that they believe the crimes aren't being committed more often, it's just that people today are more likely to report the crimes.

I can understand that. But if we have even one more arrest this year, our statistic will be increasing.
