    The meaning of illegal
    I am writing in response to the column printed in the “In Other Views” section of The News-Enterprise on Jan. 31. I am wondering if the writer doesn’t know what the word “illegal” means.

    Note to Indiana
    My wife and I really enjoy visiting Indiana’s small cities and towns up and down the Ohio River. They are very enjoyable.
    However, it appears that Indiana’s governor and state legislature are contemplating a statewide smoking ban. If indeed it enacts such a law, we will shift our entertainment dollars elsewhere.
    Our state, Kentucky, has for the most part locked us out of any entertainment and recreation venues in our largest cities.

    Obesity responsibility our own
    My wife and I read a letter submitted in the Sunday edition that lauded Walmart’s efforts to address our nation’s obesity epidemic by cutting prices on produce and “urging” suppliers to cut back on sodium, trans fat and sugar in their products. The letter states that to truly fight obesity, Walmart should encourage consumers to “ditch unhealthy processed meat.”

    Is it getting hot in here?
    Far and away the very largest contributor to global warming is the sun. This “device” has been warming the plant for multi-million (zillion?) years. This all assumes “warming” is energy or the motion of atoms (grouped into molecules.) Except for a few random meteorites striking the planet we’ve had the same number of atoms forever. Hopefully the last 50 plus years of space exploration does not significantly offset the gain of molecules from objects striking the planet.

    Religious freedom not just a day
    Thank you for the article “Celebrating Religious Freedom Day.” I did not know that we had a national holiday called Religious Freedom Day on Jan. 16.

    Enyart left Radcliff a better place
    A new year brings with it a time for reflection on the old year, and in my case, many, many years of potential for reflection. A person I keep going back to reflect on is Radcliff’s former mayor, Sheila Enyart, and I want to thank her publicly for her service to the residents of Radcliff.

    Is Parrett mimicking Washington?
    A front-page headline on the Jan. 20 edition of The News-Enterprise declared, “Parrett promotes bipartisanship during session.” It is hard to believe that this expression by 10th District State Sen. Dennis Parrett, D-Elizabethtown, is anything other than mimicking of the sentiment being promoted in Washington by the Democratic Party as they face the reality that the proverbial political donkey is no longer the commanding force directing the future of our nation.

    Treating mental illness
    I agree that the Tucson shooting should have been a front-page article.
    When is our country going to wake up about treating individuals and families dealing with mental illness? Mental illness costs the lives of many innocent people. A person with mental illness needs treatment. Psychiatrists tell us that untreated mental illness just gets worse. They can become ill enough to justify murder.

    School board members deserve support
    It’s safe to say that local elected leaders have seldom faced a year like 2010 and the outlook for 2011 is equally challenging. The members of the Elizabethtown Independent Board of Education have worked to preserve the district’s ability to educate our children in the face of a massive state budget shortfall and tough economic times at the local level.
