To error is human to admit it,...

Using replay in sports to verify a call is a hot subject with many pros and cons including what to do if a mistake is found.  
The biggest issue in all sports that have replay is the time it takes to view the film and either verify or correct the call.  
Hockey, believe it or not, has the best system and the fastest.  
Hockey has an independent person or persons in a film room somewhere in Canada with all games being played on video screens around the room.

Cynthiana DAR to meet June 8 at...

The Cynthiana Chapter of the DAR met at the home of Kay Thomas on May 11.
Melinda Rawlings, Regent, called the meeting to order and welcomed guests Betty Marshall and Donna Pope.
The DAR Ritual, Pledge of Allegiance, and the American’s Creed were recited followed by singing of the Star Spangled Banner.
In lieu of the President General’s message and the Conservation Minute, Rawlings discussed a disease among bats known as the ‘white nosed bats.’ The National Defense message was about a World War II Pulaski reunion.

Scammers preying on those...

Why should I be receiving press releases with headings like “Seniors informed on how to avoid fraud,” and “KU customers warned about bill-payment scam?”
Now, with the recent storm tragedies in Oklahoma, there will be new scams popping up all over.
I can remember my grandmother shaking her head as the news flicked across her old black and white television in the 70s exclaiming “What is this world coming to?”
Today, I’m asking that same question and scratching  my head with no answer in sight.

Cut flowers from the garden...

The cool spring has finally ushered in May flowers!  
I love cut flowers from the garden. There is a simple, happy satisfaction that comes from picking a bundle of peonies for the kitchen work table.  
Just be sure to shake the ants off first.  
The other thing about a cool spring with adequate rain fall is that the weather is acting as a sorts of preservative: All those beautiful blooms are lasting much longer than normal.
When planning a garden, I always consider a seasonal offering of cut flowers for indoor arrangements.
