  • Bad week, good news

    The other day a co-worker posted on Facebook that it had been the week from hell.

    We had all felt it. It was as if a black cloud hovered over us, raining down all kinds of bad.
    We had made mistakes. Tempers flared. Fingers pointed.

    Cranky people called, which didn’t help our own crankiness.

    We scowled. We skulked. We wished we were anywhere but here.

    It was one b-a-d week.

  • Bedford Cemetery states flower policy

    Editor:

    I wish to let everyone know that the Bedford Cemetery policy states that NO flowers or other items can be placed on the ground during the mowing season from April 1 to October 1.

As a citizen of Trimble County, Ky., I object to the issuance of permit LRL-2008-600.

  • Tourism plays major role in Kentucky’s economy

    When it comes to tourism, Kentucky has not one but two major factors in its favor: We have dozens of destinations that all but sell themselves, and we’re home to the nation’s population center east of the Rockies, meaning no state is closer to more Americans.

  • Nancy celebrates ‘Hooray!’ days

    Cleaning out my email this morning I found one I had written to a friend.

    It started out: “So it was a nice, calm day at work yesterday. By the afternoon I was sitting at my desk thinking, ‘Hooray!’

    “It just felt like a good day to say, ‘Hooray!’ I even posted it as my Facebook status. Hooray!”

    I went on to write about how my phone rang and it was my husband: “I didn’t do it. It’s not my fault,” he said, which is never a good sign.

  • Former court official encourages support for Stacy Bruner

    Editor:

    A note to the people of Trimble County: My name is Billie Jo Jones. Some of you may remember me. I served the people of Trimble County as Family Court Deputy Clerk for seven years and very much enjoyed my job.

    I had the pleasure of working with Stacy Bruner. I am encouraging all voters to get out and vote on May 22, 2012 for Stacy Bruner as our new Trimble County Circuit Clerk. She is experienced. Stacy served as Deputy and then Chief Deputy in the Circuit Clerk’s Office. She knows the job and what it takes to do it right.
