  • Resident questions mayor on several issues

    I went to the Campbellsville City Council meeting on Oct. 6, 2014, to ask the mayor a question. He answered Mr. [Kenny] Anderson. The other gentleman got up to ask a question. He wouldn't answer him his question and asked if anyone else did. Before anyone could say anything, he adjourned the meeting and left everybody sitting there in shock. What a mayor.

    My question to the mayor is, how many easements on private property he is working on Pleasant Drive.

    Thanks to the hard work of 362 volunteers and the support of The Friends of Green River lake volunteer group as well as local businesses, the 28th annual Green River Lake Volunteer Lakeshore Cleanup was again a huge success.

  • Quinn family thankful for community support

    We would like to thank everyone for the love, care and support shown to us after Alex's accident. It was truly amazing to see that so many people care so much.

    To the first responders, thanks so much for the care you gave on the scene and to the Air Evac crew that took him to Louisville. The follow-up visits you made each time you had a run to the hospital meant a lot.

    The staff at the U of L trauma/burn unit were so good at their job and showed such great compassion.

  • Government should stay out of tobacco work age issue

    Since the beginning of recorded and unrecorded history - before the days of Rights to Life or Pro-Choice, Papal declarations, even contraceptives - human beings have been reproducing. It's just in our hard wiring and the only way any and all of us are here today.

    In addition to the joy of embracing little bundles of joy, one pragmatic benefit for our forefathers and foremothers was, in effect, "creating" their own work force which was essential to farm life since there wasn't another pool from which help could be hired such as we have today.

  • Learning to appreciate all seasons

    While it's a little hard to believe judging by the weather we're having, fall arrived more than a week ago. We celebrated my niece Audrey's first birthday with a watermelon picnic-themed party on Saturday, so I'm thankful for the summer-like temperatures.

    But at the same time, I've been so excited for fall this year that I started decorating for it about three weeks in advance. I've already managed to accumulate several pumpkins and gourds that are prominently displayed outside and inside my home.

  • Saying goodbye to a hero

    Even after he took his last breath, Tony Grider was never alone.

    Firefighters stood by Grider's side until he was put to rest yesterday afternoon, and they did so every minute after he was injured on Aug. 21.

    Saying goodbye to someone is never easy, and we know the past two days have been especially hard for Grider's family and all the brothers and sisters he served with at fire and EMS.

    In just a few weeks, Taylor Countians will be asked to choose who will be their governmental leaders for the next several years.

    This year's general election ballot is crammed full. Residents will chose their mayor, judge/executive, jailer, sheriff, magistrates, city council, coroner and the list goes on.

    In the largest race, 21 people want to serve on the city council. That's the most people to file for the 12 seats in a long time.
