Today's Opinions

  • Listen to your body

    Discovering your body’s wisdom comes as you begin to listen to your body and truly feel yourself. By aligning your body, you are more aware of self and your surroundings. Don’t become numb to yourself because of what you are involved in. Let go of motions that inhibited you. Avoid rushing entirely. Be aware of how you respond; generate healthier responses to external events.

  • Saved by beauty

    At my church we talk a lot about beauty.
    The ancient Greeks and the early Christians elevated three prime virtues: truth, goodness and beauty, and as Russian novelist Dostoevsky wrote, “Beauty will save the world.”
    A longing for beauty is primal. A lack of it brings despair.

  • Ordinances exist to protect citizens

    Editor:
    I’m writing this letter to address the Bedford Nuisance Ordinance that seems to have caused a lot of talk in the news lately.
    I no longer live in Bedford but still have family and friends that do. Bedford is a beautiful town. Nice people and just laid back. My concern is if the Bedford City Commission did not have ordinances in place to protect its citizens then Bedford would not be as beautiful as it is.

  • Harvard University recognizes Kentucky innovations

    Kentucky has gotten a lot of attention over the years when it comes to finding innovative ways to govern.  Our education reforms of the 1990s were hailed as national models, for example, and we are the only state to permanently dedicate half of our annual tobacco settlement payments to agriculture, a move that has played a key role in the industry’s record sales in recent years.

  • When perfect isn’t enough

    A few weeks ago, I watched a movie on TV called “The Perfect Family.”

    Right away, just by the title, you know they’re not perfect.

    The main character is Eileen, the mother of the family. A devout Catholic, she attends Mass every day, and at confession she confesses every sin she can think of down to her gossipy thoughts.

    She serves communion and delivers food to the homebound. She’s careful to pray before meals and keeps a family altar in her home.

  • What’s in a name?

    On Nov. 24, the Jameson family named their newborn baby girl Hashtag, after Twitter’s use of the (#) symbol.

    The year before, an Egyptian man named his son Facebook, and in 2011 an Israeli couple named their baby Like.

    These babies join celebrities’ babies Spec Wildhorse Mellencamp, Moxie Crimefighter Jillette, Pilot Inspecktor Lee and Audio Science Clayton, which makes Apple Blythe Alison Martin sound almost traditional as a baby name.

  • Production stats for Kentucky industry quite impressive

    Kentucky is blessed to have not one but several “signature” industries, those areas of the economy where few if any states have a bigger impact.

    Since last summer, we’ve gotten a much clearer picture of just how extensive some of these industries are.

    The latest news about two of them, in fact, came last week.  First, we learned that Kentucky churned out more than a million cars and trucks last year, the most our four assembly plants have built since 2007.  Only three states produced more.

  • Renters Beware

    Editor:

    Before you give a deposit or sign a lease on a trailer in Bedford get a lot of close-up pictures before you move in. This is not necessary for Alvin or Lucian Sullivan, they are honest men and they will work with you on your rent to them. There are other ones out there just taking care of themselves and nothing else.

    If you would like more information about what trailers and where, please call me and I will gladly fill you in and share my five-month nightmare.
