If you are looking for something a little bit outside of the usual to do this weekend, let me recommend the Rotary International Dinner that will be taking place Saturday at the Laurel-London Optimist Club in London starting at 7 p.m. The annual dinner is a joint event hosted by...

Why are some things news one day but maybe not another day? Why do some stories make the front page one week, but not another week? All of these are pretty good questions and ones that we get questions about and sometimes complaints about, periodically, including a couple...

Kudos to 82nd Rep. Nick Wilson, who recently got his first bill passed through the Kentucky General Assembly and it was a significant one. House Bill 249, also known as Kimber’s Law, passed the House by a vote of 85-6 and the Senate by a vote of 32-4. Governor Beshear signed it...

Imagine for a moment putting a bunch of teenagers in charge of guarding keys to liquor cabinets. Chances are one of three things is going to happen. You’re going to have several good ones, who are going to do what they are supposed to do and everything will be fine. There are...

Flowers. They are those pretty things that make many women go “aaahhhh” when they get them. This is especially true when the flowers get delivered to them at work. Not only do women get to enjoy that big bouquet of flowers that way, but they also get the added benefit of everyone...
