For the third straight year, the News Journal was named best newspaper, among large weekly publications in Kentucky, at the Kentucky Press Association annual convention last month. This is a big deal to those in our profession. Our category is super-competitive. This is no small feat. Our staff works hard, week in and week out, to bring you the best newspaper we possibly can. Individually, News Journal staff members took home awards 22 awards in categories like news writing, photography, headline writing, opinion, layout and design, etc. It\u2019s no small task putting out a newspaper. It takes people dedicated to their profession with a passion for informing the public. You don\u2019t get rich working at a newspaper. But you do get satisfaction knowing you are doing something that is vitally important to the community you serve. And it\u2019s nice to get the recognition, through these awards, of the quality of work that is being produced by our staff. SOME OTHER STUFF \u2022 Stories coming out of the state of Washington state regarding an outbreak of measles \u2014 a disease that was, for all intents and purposes, eradicated in this country years ago \u2014 are sort of alarming and mystifying. It could happen here. Hepatitis A anyone? A big part of this is that almost all of the kids impacted were not vaccinated. Shockingly, reports I hear on this say that most of the parents who don\u2019t get their kids vaccinated are fairly well educated. Of course, there\u2019s a difference between being \u201ceducated\u201d and doing things that are unwise and silly. There\u2019s been some talk of legislation that would, basically, require certain vaccinations. Period. I think I\u2019m for that. If people won\u2019t do what\u2019s in the best interest of their children, who cannot decide for themselves, then sometimes you just have to give them no option. \u2022 Looking through our photos of the Kane Brown concert at The Arena last Friday made me chuckle. Used to be, we\u2019d go to a concert and really soak in the atmosphere \u2026 rock out to the music. Do a little dancing, headbanging, whatever. Now \u2026 people stare endlessly at their mobile phones, and spend most of the concert posting to social media. I suppose that\u2019s fine, but I personally find it takes away from the experience of a show. Different strokes I suppose. \u2022 Turn over to our People page and notice the call for local cooks to submit to us a favorite recipe. I\u2019m anxious to see what we get. I plan to give my wife some of the yummiest ones to cook for me! The best recipes have a good story behind them, so give us a bit of background on it if you don\u2019t care. Also, send a photo of yourself so we can run it with your recipe. \u2022 Defensive purists are welcome to their opinion, but I thought Sunday\u2019s Super Bowl was the worst I\u2019ve ever watched. Four hours wasted. This is one where the commercials, and even the halftime show, were the best part of it. \u2022 It\u2019s not good, or normal, to have temperatures of almost 70 degrees in February. Whatever happened to nice, reliably cold temperatures in the 20s and 30s for this time of year? As columnist Bob Watkins used to say \u2026 And so it goes."}
