All citizens and members of the community are reminded that it is the time of the year when the Bedford Volunteer Fire & Rescue Department is asking for your help with yearly subscriptions. These subscriptions are used to fund the department with utilities, training, fuel, equipment, maintenance of building and equipment, and other needs to serve the community in the Bedford Fire District.

Please take up the voice of Kentucky citizens to defeat another tax increase.

House Bill 368 is working through the Legislature. This bill will enable cities across the state to charge an additional three percent tax on restaurant sales. This is a fifty percent tax increase on restaurant meals. This is a sneak attack to raise taxes on every citizen in the Commonwealth.
These taxes will just be passed on to the citizens, and make every restaurant meal more expensive.

My name is James Gividen. I am a resident at Signature HealthCare of Trimble County, and I’ve been here for 14 months.

I am responding to an ad that was placed on the back page of the Trimble Banner (Dec. 14, 2011) that said our Signature nursing home is not a good place.

I want to say that it is a good place. I’d recommend it to anyone who needs to be in a nursing home. The nursing staff is excellent. The kitchen staff is excellent. The place is very clean.
