  • Hello to my former neighbors

    My late wife and I lived in Campbellsville for about three years and knew all our close neighbors. It is funny how there is so much difference from Saginaw, Texas than Campbellsville.

    Very few yards had high-boarded fences and everyone on our block was pretty nice and friendly. My wife owned a crafts shop so we met even more of Campbellsville. I have been in Texas for a little over three years and don't know the name of one neighbor and most seem to care less if you did try to be friendly to them.

  • Dr. Rand Paul is pro-constitution

    It was about four years ago when I turned on the TV news and an interview was in progress. The interviewer and company executives were discussing the outsourcing of American manufacturing companies to foreign locations. The interviewer commented that he would like to know if it were true that United States companies moved overseas because of the availability of cheaper labor.

  • Wall Street vs. Social Security

    In the past three decades, the thought of privatizing Social Security has entered the minds of several U.S. political figures. Lately the thought of such a move has struck terror in the hearts of many other politicians.

    After the meltdown of Wall Street in 2008, a typical response from political pundits regarding privatization goes something like this - "We all know what a disaster that would be!" Before rejecting the concept, it might be a good idea to compare how Wall Street and Social Security have fared over the years.

  • Celebrate our everyday heroes

    The U.S. Senate unanimously passed a resolution designating Sept. 12-18 as National Direct Support Professionals Recognition Week to salute a critical segment of America's private sector workforce that is routinely undervalued and unrecognized.

    Direct support professionals are referred to by many names, such as care providers, direct service staff and residential and day program aides, home providers and personal service assistants and they routinely provide far more to society than meets the eye.

  • Dr. Shely will be missed

    One Sunday back in the early 1990s, I went to visit the church I grew up in. It was a small church, way out in the country in LaRue County. As the service began, the pastor announced that a representative from the Gideons was going to be the guest speaker.

  • Support Newton for sheriff

    Tuesday, Nov. 2 will be an important day that will impact not only me but also my co-workers. My name is Robert VanCleave and I am a deputy with the Taylor County Sheriff's office.

    I have been employed with the sheriff's office since I graduated from Campbellsville University in 2002. While serving at the sheriff's office, I have come in contact with many people throughout the community, many of whom I remember by face and some by name. While working as a deputy, I also serve as a substitute teacher in the Campbellsville and Taylor County school systems.

  • Deaton should be commended

    Campbellsville School Superintendent Mike Deaton is to be commended for declining a pay raise, as I read in your paper. Few would do that. Usually it's take care of No. 1 first.
