Dear Editor,

To the Editor,
April is Prevent Child Abuse Month and the theme this year is  “It’s Your Turn to Make a Difference.” The Washington County Homemakers are trying to make a difference by making people aware of this problem. In 2010 in Kentucky there were 61,754 children reported as abused or neglected and 19,500 children substantiated. In Washington County there were 116 reported and 48 substantiated.

Japan, we are thinking of you today. Here is my heart.
I awoke this morning and turned on the light; thinking about thousands of Japanese who have no light switch left to turn on.  For those who do, flipping the lifeless switch means nothing because they have no power.  Oh God, we pray for those who remain in darkness.

To the Editor,

Wow! That’s the best way to describe the tremendous job the road crew did cleaning up Mayes Creek road recently. The roadside had become badly overgrown with underbrush and tree crowding. It had overtaken much of the space that once allowed cars to pull off the road.
