Today's Opinions

  • Ironing seen as a form of torture

    Tonight, I ironed some clothes. If you don't think that's worth mentioning, it's either because you've never ironed any yourself, or because you're a lot better at it than I am.

    There are jobs to be done in life that I'll never master and ironing is one of them. I enjoy the idea of pressing something to make it look better, but as soon as I start, I remember all over again how impossible ironing is for me. I think there is a special place in heaven for those mothers and wives that spend days of their lives ironing clothes.

    Drive by on a sunny afternoon and you're sure to see children climbing across the monkey bars and fitness enthusiasts walking around the track or playing tennis at one of our local parks.

  • Remembering a friend

     

    A newspaper, like many work places, can make your co-workers feel like family. You spend a lot of time together, often more than you spend at home with your real family.

  • Rain brings difficult challenges

    What a difference a year makes. Last year at this time, we were in desperate need of rainfall.

    Our farmers suffered heavy financial losses as crops dried up and failed to produce. Our gardens produced less than expected fresh homegrown vegetables. We just experienced record level rainfalls last week. Unfortunately, we are not always prepared for continuous heavy rainfalls in July.

  • Reader disagrees with churches on Boy Scout issue

    I was very disappointed to see that some churches have chosen not to take a stand against the homosexual agenda that has recently reared its head in the Boy Scouts.

    Mr. Sanford's comment about being surprised that "the possibility of a policy change captured so much attention" demonstrates that there is a disconnect with reality. A policy change that contradicts the very belief system that the organization was founded upon SHOULD draw attention!

  • Business thanks residents for support of benefit

    A big thank you to the residents of Campbellsville. During the month of May, Super Wash car washes across the country participated in an annual food raiser. A portion of the proceeds is donated to local food pantries.

    We are thrilled to announce the national donations totaled $54,735. A donation has been made in the amount of $199.50 to your local food pantry.

    Thanks Campbellsville for your patronage, which resulted in this donation.

  • Lawmakers strengthen 'pill mill' law

    Talk about your classic good news/bad news.

    The good news is it appears the "pill mill" legislation passed by the Kentucky General Assembly in 2012 and tweaked in 2013 has made it harder to obtain pills.

    The bad news is, as law enforcement officials, prosecutors and judges recently told State Journal reporter Lindsey Erdody, some drug users are simply switching to heroin.

    Franklin County Circuit Judge Thomas Wingate has been on the bench 14 years, during which time he said he had seen fewer heroin cases than you could count on one hand.

  • Walking for a cure

     

    They walked hand in hand. They propped each other up. And they waited for each other, determined to make sure each finished.

    I watched recently as cancer survivors and then their caregivers made a lap around the Taylor County High School football field.

    Relay for Life is always an exciting event, full of fun and games, but also full of reality. There are some who were there last year but aren't this year, and not because they were busy.
