  • Just what is a delegate anyway?

    The race between Senators Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama to become the Presidential nominee of the Democratic Party may not be settled until the Democratic National Convention in August.

  • Every minute has a heart attack in it

    This world is full of bad things. Ongoing medical epidemics such as AIDS and cancer are growing at a rapid pace. Hope that a cure can be found is abundant but still absent, or not yet known. Networks, such as CNN and Fox News, bring us the late breaking stories and feed pessimists the ammunition they need to survive.

    From large to small, the world's problems affect us all, even in small town Kentucky where economic downturn leads us to cling to religion and guns.

  • Make sure prom memories are good ones

    Teen, prom is such an exciting time in your life. Whether this is your first prom or your last, it will surely be a memorable experience; one to cherish for years to come.

    Whether you are going with a date, a friend or alone, you will have many choices to make about the evening's events. Who you will ride with, who will drive, where to eat, what to wear, etc...

    You will also have an even larger choice to make. Will you go to a party or to the breakfast? Will you drink? Are the people going with you going to do the same?

  • Need sidewalks on North Central

    After reading the article about the need for a sidewalk on North Central leading to Miller Park, we wholeheartedly agree.

    We reside on Saloma Road and travel that route daily, observing the hazardous conditions for both pedestrians and motorists. We believe that if a survey could be taken to compare the amount of people walking to Miller Park by means of Lebanon Avenue and North Central, we feel that a sidewalk would be warranted in both places.

    All citizens of Campbellsville have a need; tragedy should not be the trigger to make it happen.

  • A new wrinkle on aging

    It's Monday, April 14, 2008. On this date 60 years ago, Momma lay down her washboard long enough to give birth to a future keyboarder.

    Apparently, a lot of other mommas across America were doing the same thing. They say some 330 of us Baby Boomers turn 60 every hour.

    You may not realize how close some of us came to not being here at all.

    A.C. Kinsey came out with a book, "Sexual Behavior in the Human Male" in 1948. Some days I've wished it had been published in 1947, and Momma had gotten hold of a copy.

  • The 'Bubba' vote

    I was reading in a paper today where one of the presidential candidate's advisers indicated they would not pursue the "Bubba" vote. Since I've been referred to as "Bubba," "redneck" and "good ol' boy," just to mention a few, I decided to take a look at where these names started and why.

  • 1,000 from Taylor on organ donor list

    Since April is recognized as Donate Life Month both nationally and here in Kentucky, I feel that this is a good time to thank the many Taylor Countians who have supported organ and tissue donation at our driver's license counter by donating $1 in support of our Kentucky Circuit Court Clerks Trust For Life and by placing their name on the new Kentucky Organ Donor Registry.
