  • Diabolical Taylor County librarians

    Richard Sheridan once wrote, "A circulating library in a town is as an evergreen tree of diabolical knowledge! It blossoms through the year!"

    Among the unanticipated blessings of moving to Taylor County almost seven years ago was the faithful, friendly, diligent and diabolical work of our Taylor County Public Library staff.

  • Consider immigration legislation effects

    I would like to comment on the immigration issue and feel that I am qualified to do so I am an immigrant myself, a legal immigrant, that is.

    It has been reported by AP that Republican Senate President David Williams is pushing a proposal that would allow police to arrest illegal immigrants on trespassing charges for setting foot in Kentucky. Williams said that the immigration proposal Senate Republicans are pushing would be similar to a law passed in Arizona that allows police to determine the immigration status of people they detain.

  • March of Dimes thanks

    The 2010 March of Dimes' Green River March for Babies was held at Graham Memorial Park in Lebanon on Oct. 23, 2010. Thanks to everyone who formed teams, donated and helped raise $9,450 to improve the health of all babies. We have raised an additional $450 in the two months since the walk, bringing our total for 2010 to $9,900.

    Thanks to our 2010 Ambassador Mother, Heather Farmer, for sharing her daughter Kaleigh's story with the community.

  • School Board appreciation

    As a citizen of Taylor County, I'm extremely proud of the students and teachers, the administrators and the service workers who are the heart and soul of the Taylor County School System. And I'm also proud of the district leadership this community has put in place through the members of the Taylor County Board of Education.

  • Toys for Kids thanks

    Toys for Kids thanks

    On behalf of the Campbellsville and Taylor County Fire Departments, I want to thank each and every person, organization or business who contributed money, toys or time to assist in our Toys for Kids program.

    You helped bring Christmas to more than 500 children in our community and without your support we would not have achieved this success.

    Thank you!

  • The Blessing Bell touches us all

    It isn't the dinner bell ringing for that Christmas feast, nor is it the jingle from that one horse open sleigh. It isn't the tinkle of Rudolph's harness as he flies through the sky, and it isn't even the beautiful church bells sounding at midnight to announce the celebration of Christmas.

    The Blessing Bell rings loud and clear, calling out for donations to be dropped into the red kettle at the Salvation Army collection sites.

    Standing beside the bucket, ringing that little bell filled my heart with innumerable blessings this Christmas season.

  • Food Pantry thanks

    Thank you to all who had a part in another great year at the food pantry.

    We served an average of 275 families each month, then in December we served 422 families.

    Thanks to the Monday baggers, the Taylor County Road Department crew, the cardboard man and the ones who help with the distribution. Also thanks to the stock crew at Kroger.

    And a special thanks to all who gave financial help. May God give a special blessing to all.

  • Thanks for help

    Taylor County Elementary School PTA would like to thank the following businesses for donating time, money or gifts toward our Supper with Santa.

    Without their fabulous support, our Supper with Santa would not have been as much fun. The raffles were a huge hit.

  • Show troops our support

    I want to respond to [Rebecca Cassell's recent column] in regard to our casualties suffered in the recent conflicts our nation is involved in. Six months ago my son also had to register for the draft.

    I have served overseas and seen firsthand the devastating cost in life and limb resulting from war. I sympathize wholeheartedly with your sentiments regarding your wish that no more lose their lives. Unfortunately this is not likely to happen.

  • Student asks for help

    Each member of our class is working on a project called the "Parade of States." We are responsible for gathering as much information as we can from a number of sources.

    I have chosen Kentucky for my state. If any of your readers would help me out by sending any pictures, postcards, a used license plate, facts, products, etc. from your state, it would be greatly appreciated.

    Please send the information before March to: Eli Cannalla, Cascade Christian School, 601 9th Ave. SE, Puyallup, WA 98372.
