Today's Opinions

  • Prove your love with photos

    You probably know the saying before I form the sentence on my lips.
    A picture is worth a thousand words.
    Every week in The Anderson News — in every article and every column — I use hundreds, maybe even a thousands of words to describe everything happening in Anderson County.
    It’s no secret that I love words: I wouldn’t be much of a writer if I hid from them.  
    But for the month of February I wanted to show my love for Anderson County through a special photo series, “Why We Love Anderson County.”

  • Mind travel your way to a warmer place

    I’ve decided to do a little imaginary traveling during these winter months. I’ve decided that the ups and downs of Kentucky weather can be fun. In my head, I’ll be in Phoenix when our temps here hit 60. When it’s cold and snowy, I’ll be in Colorado skiing. When it’s freezing out I’ll be in Minnesota, with my relatives. See, mind travel is cheap and easy. I don’t even have to find a sitter for the dogs.

  • Hoping atheist Riley will one day be ‘brother in Christ’

    To the editor:
    This in regard to Yossarian Riley, the atheist who wrote a letter to the editor in last week’s paper.
    The atheist has written long-winded retorts expressing himself with engaging words, that are strongly opinionated, and in total opposition of a true and living God.

  • The right way to handle problem

    Column as I see ’em …
    The school district’s recent efforts to make sure children are safe paid off early Monday morning in more ways than one.
    When a man allegedly made numerous threats against a female student, the high school and an elementary school, district officials and law enforcement acted smartly and quickly by ensuring that the schools weren’t only safe, but that the public was kept informed.
    First they made sure the person who allegedly made those threats was investigated, charged and put in jail.

  • Act now to save rainforests

    To the editor:
    I want to save rainforests. We need rainforests because the plants of the rainforests generate much of the earth’s oxygen.
    One easy way to save the rainforests is to buy foods that are grown in a sustainable way, like bananas or coffee.
    I hope I now have convinced the citizens of Anderson County to save the rainforests.

  • Bugged over historic district, guns and speeders

    To the editor:
    There are currently three bees in my bonnet.
    First there is the proposed historic district. We have a committee that wants to implement what it thinks is best for the community. Never mind that the properties in question are owned by individuals who paid for those properties, carry insurance and pay taxes on them.
    Yet this committee wants to control and restrict the appearance of these private properties (homes and businesses).

  • Keeping resolutions under oath

    I tell people I never make new year resolutions.
    I lie.
    Which is, funny enough, the first rule of forming resolutions.
    My flimsy covenants should not be considered resolutions.
    They’re promises taped together only by mental commitment. Resolutions upheld by the most fragile glue imaginable.
    Maybe, to pin some permanence on resolutions, I’ll eventually learn to write them down. Trap them on paper where they can’t be lost.
