    Bravo, State Theater
    I want to say “Hats Off” to Emily West and the State Theater. I went to the Mark Chesnutt concert this past weekend and cannot say enough how much I enjoyed the show (and this coming from a person who is not a country music fan). The show had the caliber of entertainment one would find in Louisville or Nashville. The venue was great and there wasn’t a bad seat in the house.

    Addressing an address problem
    I would like to voice my opinion about my mail route. I lived in Summit, which had a post office. Then, a few years ago, Summit post office closed and now my mail goes to Eastview post office route 1. The story I have heard is that they won’t close the Eastview post office but will change my address to Big Clifty in Grayson County.
    What if I need a fire department or some other help and I tell them my address is Big Clifty? Where do you think they would go? Big Clifty, of course, and I live in Summit.

    Graduates, remember alcohol education
    I have been a DARE officer for nearly eight years with the Hardin County Sheriff’s office. This year, my very first fifth grade class is graduating from high school. I am so proud. Kids from Lakewood, Rineyville, Upton, Sonora and Lincoln Trail elementary schools are taking that big step toward adulthood. I’m writing to remind each of you to remember the things that I, your teachers and parents have taught you about the dangers of drugs and alcohol.

  • Railroads still make commerce go

    The issue: Grants for railroad improvements
    Our view: State government addresses need

    Railroads transformed America by providing consistent, reliable means to move across this vast land.

    No longer relying solely upon waterways to connect the nations producers and consumers, the rails created millionaires and moguls. Towns blossomed along the rails in Hardin County and across the nation.

  • Local graduates net top honors

    Daniel Cameron and Chris Colonna may not be very familiar names to most in Hardin County, but that isn’t the case among their peers who recently graduated from college. At the University of Louisville and Western Kentucky University, respectively, Cameron and Colonna received their university’s top honor during recent commencement ceremonies.

    Both young men now will be recorded alongside others from the past whose names are synonymous with academic achievement and excellence.
