  • Postal Service price hike - neither justified nor legal

    At Landmark Community Newspapers, Inc., Shelbyville, KY (which I serve as postal consultant after retiring in 2008 from a 35-year career), when we face tough economic times, we have to make tough decisions. But ultimately, our goal is to grow our business by providing services that consumers want and need at competitive prices.

    When our business grows, so do jobs. If we do business right, our customers grow with us. In the end, making the right choices is right for the economy, jobs and our businesses.

  • Switzer family plays role in WEG promotion events

    While all eyes are trained on the World Equestrian Games, one Harrison County family is paying particular attention to the reining events.

    Kim and Buddy Switzer and their children Cody and Sadie have had several hands in this year’s world event.

    It started earlier in the summer with Sadie, 17, doing a demonstration at Morehead State University on reining events, which are new to WEG this year.

  • Harrison Co. Cross Country competed in Mason County Invitational Sept. 18

    The hot weather and some related illnesses had Harrison County Cross Country Coach Danny Simpson guessing a bit on Saturday in Mason County. 

    “We generally run well on this course, but with our top runner for the varsity boys out with an illness and the other health-related challenges we have had this week, I wasn’t sure what to expect,” he noted. 

    Both the varsity boys and girls finished in the back of the standings, the boys 14th and the girls 12th.

  • Respect

    On an evening stroll with my husband and dog last week, I was admiring the progress of several projects at Flat Run Veterans Park.

    Playground equipment beckons small children to the center of the park.

    The unique earth-bag structure, sponsored by the Cynthiana Rotary Club, has walls.

    The presence of heavy equipment and long lines of trenches indicates a sewer line will soon be completed for the new Farmers Market building.

    But among all the progress, destruction slapped me in the face.

  • The ABCs of healthy eating

    A new dish tops the menu at this year’s Kentucky State Fair.

    Meet the Krispy Kreme cheeseburger.

    Think of a regular cheeseburger. Now, take off the bun and replace it with a Krispy Kreme glazed donut on the top and bottom.

    And it’s not just Kentuckians buying the 1,000-calorie-loaded concoction.

    At the Wisconsin State Fair earlier this month, patrons could not only buy the Krispy Kreme cheeseburger, they could also pay an extra dollar to top it off with chocolate-covered bacon.

    I like donuts.

    I like hamburgers.
