  • Relay is a success because of community support

    I think the following businesses truly get the meaning of community participation because of their contributions to the Relay.

    They are the Anderson County Chamber of Commerce, City of Lawrenceburg, Wild Turkey Trace Golf Course, Edmonson’s Towing, Carey’s Towing, Lawrenceburg Police Department, Schell Septic, Boy Scouts Troop #37, Lawrenceburg Supply, Anderson County EMS, Emma B Ward, Bluegrass Signs and The Anderson News for donating services to Relay for Life.

    Without volunteerism, Relay for Life could not be as successful.

  • It takes a team to pull off an election

    I want to take explain the involved process and people it takes to help make the Primary Election go as smooth as possible.

    The election process never stops in our office. The deputies continually work to ensure that everything is ready for Election Day. The staff works daily to process voter registration information.

  • Sue Lou Smith takes music students to new levels

    My son is a junior at Anderson County High School and has been very actively involved in the Advanced Choir, Men’s Choir, All-State Choir and has had starring roles in the spring musicals for the past 3 years. He has achieved all of this due to a teacher at the high school.

    I would like to say a few words about Mrs. Sue Lou Smith, the choir director and musical director.

  • Government tramples 2nd Amendment rights

    I am sincerely curious. This isn’t just a rhetorical question, whether you’d be “riding the fence” about a miniscule restoration of 1st Amendment rights if our government trampled those as they do the 2nd Amendment?

    Suppose, specifically, that:

    •If you gave your neighbor, on her way to the store, money to buy you a newspaper and she does, you’ve both committed felonies.

    •It’s a felony to possess a newspaper within 1,000 feet of a school unless there’s a state “newspaper anywhere” law.

  • There are bigger issues than the baseball scoreboard

    While reading a recent edition of The Anderson News, I was disappointed by the fact that there were two large articles about the baseball scoreboard and how it’s a shame that it’s not working correctly, although I agree.

  • Experience is a reminder of the greatness of this town

    I would like to extend some props to a wonderful few instances.

    First, a few weeks ago, my ruby red Nissan pickup truck decided not to start in the Kroger parking lot near the drive thru pharmacy.

    As I waited an hour for assistance from AAA, some 20 or so passing motorists offered their aid and repeatedly I said thank you to their neighborly offers and inquiries.

    That is truly a testament to our city and county is the friendly manner of the many. To those, let me again say, I really appreciate your efforts.

  • Opinion piece did not fairly portray Family Court judge

    We read with great interest the opinion piece in a recent issue regarding Family Court Judge John David Myles. The portrayal of Judge Myles could not be further from our experience with him and his Court.

  • Magistrates should speak to constituents regularly

    The publisher of the Anderson News says, "Vote or Keep Your Mouth Shut." OK, a bit in harsh, but I agree with the sentiment. I’ll vote but before we get to Election Day, I’d like to challenge all those running for office. I live in the county so that’s my focus but it applies in the city as well.
