    Doing something about downtown
    Applause to Mayor Tim Walker and the Elizabethtown City Council for finally taking steps to save our downtown.

  • Burke case does not offer simple solutions

    The issue: Dismissal motion for Burke case

    Bravo Bruins
    Congratulations Central Hardin Bruin baseball team on your state championship!
    Fans were entertained all week by an outstanding team.  As we were watching the championship game, I couldn’t help but be amazed at something else ... the behavior of the team. These young men are a class act. The sportsmanship, respect and enthusiasm were infectious. The way they handled themselves is very admirable.
    Congratulations to the parents for raising such extraordinary young men.

  • Reflecting images from a previous generation

    The door to my grandparents’ house on Red Hill Road never was locked.
