Today's Opinions

Despite the personal feelings towards the new Parks and Recreation, success of recreation really falls onto the shoulders of area citizens.
For the last several months talk around town has insinuated that personal vendetta was the underlining theme of Parks and Recreation.
Since I have attended nearly all of the meetings in which recreation was discussed, I feel that I am more qualified to discuss the issue unlike someone who only get’s their information from the rumor mill.

To the editor:
Cynthiana and Harrison County lost its biggest booster and promoter with the death of John Swinford on Feb. 3. Before John’s health failed his knowledge of most of the citizenry of Cynthiana and Harrison County was second to none. John was extremely proud of Harrison County and all of its good citizens. He was also proud to be a lawyer and was an extremely honorable member of that profession. I am not nearly a good enough wordsmith to write this accolade, but I must try.

How’s business?
That’s a question I often get asked. Now, whether they are asking just as greeting or truly want to know how the newspaper business is going is anyone’s guess.
My response is generally that it’s all good.
In light of reports of newspapers having to reduce staff and even close in some instances, and all media for that matter, makes the “How’s business?” question much more relevant these days.
It’s been a tough economy all over. Many people have found themselves or a spouse without jobs.
