Senate and representative district boundaries must be redrawn after each Census. After the 2010 Census, a plan was approved but later ruled unconstitutional.

Taylor County's State Rep. John "Bam" Carney, R-Campbellsville, said he won't support such a special session because of the cost.

While many of us will experience some sadness this weekend as we place lovely flower arrangements on the tombstones of our loved ones and listen quietly as the names of people who died in the last year are read in church, we also look forward to spending time with our families and having some fun in the sun.

How I became a tree hugger

"What are you doing, Dad?" my son asked when he called me on his cell phone.

I was sitting on our back patio, admiring the work I'd done, having just planted the first third of my garden with the non-genetically modified seeds I had oh-so carefully selected. I wanted to come as close as I could to having an organic garden.

Then just as I as I leaned back to relax, I stood up straight, squinting at the tractor spraying the field behind my house. It was coming closer and closer to my garden.
