The plot may surprise us, but our stories have meaning

April 18, 2014 by admin

On April 19, our firstborn daughter made her appearance into this crazy world. I remember well how excited and anxious I was in the days leading up to her birth. Would we have a girl or a boy, we wondered.  It didn’t matter, we said, as long as everything was “alright.” When my labor started, […]

Lisa Bicknell: One big blue nation

April 11, 2014 by admin

Okay, I’ll admit it. I’m a bit of a fair-weather fan, a bandwagon fan. If the Cats are excellin’, I’m a’yellin’. If they aren’t, my affections tend to wander. The season may as well have started four games ago as far as I’m concerned, but after that series of scrappy wins, my heart couldn’t help […]

Letter to the Editor

April 4, 2014 by admin

Dear Editor, Are labor unions really needed today?  I am writing in response to Ted Lowe’s letter to the editor in last week’s CV&T paper. I contend that as the environment exists with state and federal laws in place along with minimum wage laws, that labor unions are obsolete.  Their existence today merely provides employers […]

Season of ‘living green’ is here

March 28, 2014 by admin

I know I’m not the only one excited about the hint of green showing in our landscape and the sight of daffodils blooming in yards and in fields around old homesteads. I love how the land comes to life in spring—the color, the birdsong—everything except the mosquitoes and snakes that come out of hiding. A […]

Sunshine week: spotlighting the need for open government

March 21, 2014 by admin

As we welcome the first day of spring this week, the American Society of Newspaper Editors is commemorating Sunshine Week for a different reason. The annual observance began in 2005 to raise awareness about transparency in government, the idea being that open government is good government. Sunshine Week was designed to coincide with the birthday […]

The more you know…

March 7, 2014 by admin

By Rodney G. Davis, County Attorney So far we have reviewed the Offices of Judge-Executive and Sheriff; next we will review the Office of Jailer.  The fact that in Kentucky the jailer is a constitutional officer is very unique.  Kentucky is the only state in the union that specifically contains provisions related to the Office […]

Pardon us, we are under construction

February 28, 2014 by admin

Maybe you’ve noticed the paper looks a little “different” lately.  One of our staff recently left to care for her aging parents, so I’m learning how to lay out pages, and everyone else in the office has some new duties too. Please bear with us during this time of transition. I noticed several typos in […]

Beverly Thompson remembers school days

February 21, 2014 by admin

In September of 1937, I was enrolled in the first grade.  I went to Irvine Grade School and I had the most wonderful teacher in the whole wide world, Miss Hays.  I am sure that she must have had a first name, but to me she was and always will be “Miss Hays.” I did […]

The more you know…

February 14, 2014 by admin

By Rodney Davis The older I get, the more I realize my mom was right when she told me, “You don’t know everything.”  And I never will. I learn new things every day from all sorts of folks: clients, other lawyers, friends, family, co-workers, the media, and, yes, even my 12 year-old.  I realize many […]

Spring, right around the corner

February 7, 2014 by admin

by Lisa Bicknell, CV&T editor Groundhog’s Day is past and so is Super Bowl Sunday. We are nearing the end of winter. NOT.  Sunshine and 65 degrees on Saturday were just a teaser before another winter blast, but boy, they were a welcome sight. It was like coming up for air after swimming under water […]
