WANTED: A large building that can house Hardin County’s growing stray animal population so there won’t be another 2,300 dogs and cats euthanized like last year. Also, some land around the building to let the animals run around and have some fun would be nice as well.
These are difficult times for the Hardin County Animal Control facility on Nicholas Street in Elizabethtown. The county’s continued growth is not without an increased pet population that needs help.

THE ISSUE: High school bowling
OUR VIEW: Game is for a lifetime

The recent news that bowling will become a varsity sport at some local high schools is good news for student-athletes.

In many sports, once you take your cleats, jersey and shoulder pads off at the high school level, that’s the end of the athletic journey. It’s far different with a sport such as bowling.

The passion created can last a lifetime.

The issue: Mother’s Day
Our view: A day of celebration

There is no day more important than Mothers Day. If you don’t believe that just ask your mom.

Oh, we love our moms year around but on this day we celebrate everything that makes our mothers “moms.” Most of us have more than just one woman who has had an influence in our lives, whether it’s our birth mother, stepmother, grandmother, big sister or even a co-worker.

Everyone is stretching dollars these days.

Money and resources only go so far, whether being spent by a businesses, an agency or an individual. The United Way of Central Kentucky is no exception.

Each year, the organization has the responsibility of putting campaign money raised where it can meet the greatest needs of the community in the most efficient and effective manner.
