  • War is never the right answer

    To the editor:
    A world in peace is something that some of us cannot imagine. I know that as long as I can remember there has been war in some part of the world that affected me in some way.
    How can we establish a lasting peace you may ask? Some may say by raging more wars to gain the advantage over other countries. This is the wrong answer. War only creates more war.

  • Hospice an integral community resource

    To the editor:
    My mother was very ill with heart failure and in the hospital. She wanted to go home. Her doctor said she could with Hospice care. This was the first I had heard of Hospice.
    Their efficiency (combined with sensitivity and compassion) was so welcome at a confusing time in my family’s life. Hospice care combined the highest level of quality care with emotional and spiritual support.

  • 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.

    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.
