  • Letter to the editor: State senator seeks ideas from residents

    Under the new redistricting plan, Owen County is now part of the seventh senatorial district that also includes Franklin, Anderson, Woodford and Gallatin counties.
    I look forward to serving as your senator and, to better do that, it is important that I hear from you about the community’s needs. Your ideas and advice will be important in guiding my work in Frankfort.
    Throughout my tenure in the Kentucky General Assembly, I have had a strong record of working for significant progress in such areas as roads, education, economic development and infrastructure.

  • Letter to the editor: Ellis announces candidacy for judge-executive

    Local government has more impact on our daily lives than any state or federal government. We look to local government for police and fire protection, ambulance service, schools, water and sanitary services, road repairs, parks and recreation programs and much more.

  • Letter to the editor: Addict wants to give back to community

    I moved to Owen County in 1995 at the age of 14. I played football, ran track, dabbled in basketball, and was the first male cheerleader for Owen County High School. I consider Owen County to be my hometown, although I haven’t lived here my whole life.

  • Lettter to the editor: Senior center continues to touch lives in new location

    I’ve really appreciated the activities and meals at the senior center service. I lost my job over a year ago, I was depressed and lonely. At the center, I’ve met new friends, my husband and I have enjoyed several day trips with them.
    I know a lot of seniors would come if they had transportation. Churches out in the county should consider bringing a van load to the center once a week.
    Thursday is our birthday/Halloween bash with pizza provided by Snappy Tomato. After lunch, we’ll play Bunco, which was a new game to all of us.
