Work to reconfigure the Campbellsville Independent School system's buildings is about halfway complete.

Superintendent Mike Deaton said classrooms are being physically moved and floors sealed and waxed in the process.

He said new offices are more or less set up and phone lines have been moved. As such, if someone calls the elementary school, he said, the call now rings at the former middle school, which is where students in preschool through third grade will attend class as of August.

Recently, I came home from work one day and felt a sharp pain in my stomach. It was a familiar pain, one that has occurred eight times over the past 17 years. Each time, I was hospitalized for a number of days until the blockage dissolved.

But this time would be different and much more challenging. This time I needed surgery. The surgery went well, but the recovery time was lengthy and unexpected. Bad things happen at the most inconvenient times.

At a recent Homeland Security meeting, I heard about the "If you see something, say something" campaign. The initiative was created to encourage people to report suspicious activity in their community.

The "See Something, Say Something" campaign was developed to address terrorism happening in our country. While it's hard for me to imagine that there could be terroristic activity going on around here, I understand that it's not outside the realm of possibility.

The advice given by this initiative should be considered by everyone.

Emma Miles and Sierra DeMurray of Campbellsville recently cut and donated their hair to Locks of Love. Miles is the daughter of Patty Raley. DeMurray is the daughter of Jason and Kay DeMurray.

Miles donated 10.5 inches and DeMurray cut 11. Kay DeMurray did the cutting.

Locks of Love is a nonprofit organization that provides hair pieces to financially disadvantaged children in the United States and Canada who are suffering long-term medical hair loss from an illness.
