  • Women can defend our country but they can't play basketball?

    To the editor:
    I couldn’t help but to be amazed as I compared the headlines in the Democrat and the Lexington Herald.  One headline reads “U.S. To End Ban On Women In Combat”, the other “No Women Allowed, Says Recreation Board”.  Just so I understand this correctly, women can sign up to fight on the front lines for our country but they can’t sign up to play church league basketball in Harrison County?

  • Be aware of those who support your rights

    Why has recreation no longer been a major priority in Harrison County?
    I can recall a time when I was younger, which was not long ago, when recreation was something that was highly thought of in our community.
    Before I begin, I would like to say that I do not blame our current recreation lull on any one person.
    Problems are typically not attributed to any one person.
    However, a recent incident concerning a woman being denied her right to participate in local sports tops the cake in a terrible tasting way.

  • Saying "well done" to a county treasure

    To the editor:

    We were both pretty “green” when she arrived. However, it didn’t take long for Cheryl to hit the floor running  teaching, supporting, encouraging, and learning about the “homemakers” of Harrison County.
