Don't turn your head away from it. Don't dismiss it. Look at our ditch lines and some people's yards and homes. I myself am ashamed for people to visit our county. Our back roads are despicable. Vistors who visit our county for whatever reason see how trashy we are. It's not a poor poverty t…

Currently a bill before the Kentucky General Assembly would make cannabis legal for recreational use. Among many regulations HB 467 would create criteria for businesses to grow and sell marijuana for recreational use and define how it would be done. It would also allow a household grower per…

Dear Editor,

State Representative Robert Goforth sent a campaign mailer from an unlikely endorser this week--the woman he allegedly assaulted.

My vote is not for sale. Not for sale for money, whiskey, cigarettes or drugs. My vote is not for sale for the promise of socialized medicine or the promise of socialism. No Republican candidate has ever promised me anything but an opportunity to make a living on a level playing field. That …

This letter should be addressed to the person or persons who have nothing better to do than steal my campaign signs and in some cases replace them with signs for the other candidate.

Dear Editor,

I am a proud Democrat and am not afraid to identify myself with the party of FDR and Obama, but lately you'd think that I was part of some left wing, radical, crazy, bizarre group. Instead I belong to a compassionate, diverse, faithful and patriotic group of Americans who have always stood u…

July 4, 2020 defenders of the U.S. Constitution, along with the Declaration of Independence, will be celebrated marking 244 years of freedom from the British Empire an the probability of equality for all citizens of the newly formed sovereign nation - the United States of America.

I was appalled when London decided to close the gates to the fairgrounds. There have been so many families supporting the ball fields for 30 years. Jim Rose spent thousands to develop Scott Field. The Elza family built Elza Field for softball. Denver Jones ran the fairground for several thin…

Just got a daily twenty second dose. For weeks we have daily been provided useless information concerning Covid-19 from the Governor, and twice a week from the Sentinel. The number of cases and deaths is information that is useful only for satisfying the curiosity or to create fear, but does…

All Kentuckians have a part to play in “flattening the curve” of the coronavirus outbreak, whether it’s staying healthy at home or providing essential healthcare services.

Dear Editor,

Health insurance companies in America make a staggering $100 billion yearly in profits. The Kentucky Department of Insurance should, in theory, provide a check and balance by keeping the insurance companies half way honest. When a citizen files a complaint with the Department, they do an imp…

I thank God that most Democrats in Laurel County and Kentucky see through the House Democrat’s “impeachment hoax.” Democrats tried to stop Justice Kavanaugh's confirmation with lies. They used the same tactics trying to oust our President.

It's wonderful to know the Christmas spirit lasts beyond Christmas Day!

I wish to thank all of Whitley, Knox and Laurel counties for the support and participation in the 2019 US Marine Corps Toys For Tots Campaign. This, being our third year in the area, we knocked it out of the ball park.

As I looked up

Dear Editor,

Twas the day after Christmas

Another WJTE Stocking Stuffers event is now in the books! It always warms my heart to see those kids tear into their gifts! This was a record year, as 65 children of all ages and from every part of Laurel County, benefited from the generosity of the sponsor families! And my goodness, if my s…

Dear Editor,

Allegedly, Senator McConnell’s topic was “What is the future of America?” Our country, at statehood, was the United States of America, not America, because of its location on the North American Continent. Also, to the North was Canada, with both strong British and French influence. To the So…

Dear Editor,

November 21, 2019, in the United States, we witnessed the U.S. Houses’s Impeachment Committee ending its week of hearings that confirmed, in the minds of citizens that defend the U.S. Constitution, President Trump was guilty of crimes warranting impeachment.

Friday, November 8, 2019, Sentinel-Echo’s Forum and Religion Section addressed subjects which I seek responses to my concerns.

Dear Editor,

Dear Editor,

Reference Sentinel-Echo Forum’s Editorial Cartoon “The Head of ISIS,” dated October 30, 2019

The South Laurel Marching Band wants to thank everyone who turned out to welcome our children from Bowling Green Sunday. We were in complete awe and appreciation for everyone that turned out from the first responders who led the parade into town to the well-wishers who just wanted to express…

Some folks have begun to call themselves Liberal. I looked up the definition. Those folks aren’t really liberal. The dictionary definition used words like “forward thinking, generous, broad minded and open minded.”

October 27, 2019, the Electoral College elected President of the United States announced murder of the co-founder of a Muslim group dedicated to establish a Muslim homeland in Iraq and Syria in response to the US sponsored Jewish Nation-State in Palestine confirming centuries old acts of mur…
