That is the question our state legislators are fussing over. Politics, religion and sexuality are three topics I usually avoid. However, I was reading in the Lexington Herald-Leader the other day and I came across an article “Casino debate reveals rift in House” written by the newspaper’s political writer Ryan Alessi.

I’m talking about a time long before speed dial, CMT or DVD’s. Remember playing hide-go-seek at dusk and catching lightening bugs in a Mason jar? There’s nothing like the good old days when life was simple and friends were forever.

They are truly special people! As Hospice Director at St. Claire Regional Medical Center for 16 years, I’ve seen my share of volunteers come and go. Amazingly, we have a few that have been with hospice through my whole tenure.

World War I was finished, and she scarcely could find traces of her family and what was once a thriving Armenian community near the Black Sea.

The idea of borrowing money just to pay back only a few dollars more than you borrowed is ideal.

Now UNITE has developed with a way for others to also show that they care about their community.

Roger Tatarian, the last great editor of United Press International and the person who guided me through my formative years as a journalist, was known for his scholarly encouragement when asked for help on a dicey story.

While newsmakers on both sides of the political aisle often are guilty of such obscene quackery, this week those on the left have provided the most stellar examples.
