I’ve often times struggled with my role as a young adult in this county.

So often, it seems disappointing to look at a place you convinced yourself was a perfect haven as a child, and to then come back years later, and find that like everything else, your hometown has its own set of flaws.

So many times it’s easy to point out the faults of Harrison County, and not grasp how those weaknesses could be changed. Or perhaps sometimes we’re just not ready to take on that task that seems very overwhelming.

The Cynthiana Police Department is investigating what was termed a “scam”.

According to Cynthiana Police Officer David Powers, a perpetrator claiming to be a representative of the Farmers National Bank has telephoned Harrison County residents. Residents are being asked for their debit and/or credit card number. It is not known whether any accounts at the bank have been accessed.

It was also reported that customers of other Cynthiana banks were being called as well.

 If I were God, I would create humans with rewind buttons on their mouths, or a 10-second delay device.

We tend to say some really dumb things.

There are various odd jobs to address in the garden once spring arrives. Well timed chores can help us improve the performance of some plants, control others and eliminate some. 

Weeds are usually foremost on people’s minds as they make their way back to the garden each spring. 

There is no magic bullet for weed control but we can take some common sense measures to devise an overall management plan. Diligence plays a role, as does timing and technique.
