  • School board stunners keep coming

    To the editor:
    I did not think I could be more stunned when the school board let the former ECC building and acreage go for $78,100 after the million dollar add on a few years back.
    But then I saw the article that the school board will be renting a portion of it back for $12,000 a year for the regional training center.

  • Democrats ‘mean’ to Romney trick or treater

    To the editor:
    I’m 11 years old and in the sixth grade from Lawrenceburg.
    I dressed up as Mitt Romney for Halloween and went trick or treating.
    About five people refused to give me candy. One old lady yelled at me and told me to get out of her yard.
    I think they were Democrats; they sure were mean.
    When I grow up I’m going to be a Republican, for sure.
    I’m kind of afraid to sign my name because they might come and try to get me.

  • Test scores: widening gap or bridge to future success?

    The word “gap” elicits two images when tied with measuring educational success.
    1. An impassable gulf.
    2. A sliver of space easily closed.
    Let’s talk about what “gap” really means.
    The Kentucky Department of Education recently released the test scores of its new assessment model, and Anderson County’s data indicated some seemingly contradictory results.

  • Tell magistrates to protect Earth and your wallet

    The Anderson County Fiscal Court will have a chance to fix a $320,000 mistake when it meets Nov. 20, and could use a little encouragement between then and now to ensure it does.
    It appears there’s a chance that magistrates who approved spending that amount on a recycling building have since thought better of the idea, and are starting to see government-run recycling for what it really is: a black hole where taxpayer dollars go to die.

  • Look to the garden for Christmas gift ideas

    Happy Halloween! I think October came in on a skateboard and went out on a jet pack! Time is just flying by and the next two months may well be the same way. That said, didn’t we have a beautiful St. Luke’s Little Summer! I so wanted to play hooky from work and be outside. Now it’s cold again! Don’t worry though, we should have one more warm spell, known as Indian Summer, before Thanksgiving.

  • Thank you for news coverage of nonprofit

    To the editor:
    As a member of the Board of Directors of T.O.U.C.H. (Treasuring Our Underprivileged Citizens with Heart) of Central Kentucky,  I thank the Anderson News and Meaghan Downs for the excellent coverage recently provided for this new charitable organization that is headquartered in Anderson County.
    Although we are small in number right now, the organization has been very busy working to assist people in need of home safety repairs to prevent in-home accidents and to provide weatherization in homes of the elderly.

  • Depression support group needed in Lawrenceburg

    To the editor:
    I would like to know why Anderson County does not have a depression support group.
    I have had depression for several years and am sure others in our community have it, too. We need a church or somewhere to meet each week for support.
    The closest group I have found is in Lexington. Some of us don’t want to drive that far.
    I feel we need a support group here, not only for myself but others.
    Why can’t some church here step up and start a group for us? It would be greatly appreciated.
