Letter to the Editor
Reader grateful for Times-Tribune
With so many of our rights trying to be taken away from local, state, or even our federal government, the Corbin Times-Tribune prints issues on every subject that we as Americans face each day. Our Corbin Times-Tribune keeps us updated on a daily basis — local, community, or world events — on the web or in print.
I have heard some people say, “I never knew there was a meeting. If I had known, I would have been there.”
I, myself, have had many editorials printed, some negative, some positive, but they were printed!
Some may feel The Times-Tribune is wasting time printing some trivial articles in the paper. You are keeping us informed daily, no matter how big or small the issue.
Each day I receive calls asking about what is the latest news. Some of us are home 24-7 (doctor’s orders). We must realize some people cannot read, but they (we) do have voice.
As least we do not forget the extra services you give us year- round, often times at your own expense — most recently, the video to our American heroes that cannot be with us this holiday season.
You give us our most important issue, our First Amendment, freedom of speech.
I wish every one of you and your families at the Times-Tribune from the top to the bottom (editors, printers, janitors, etc.) a very Merry Christmas and a very healthy and prosperous New Year! Without you, we would have no Corbin Times-Tribune.
Janice M. Vinson,
Barbourville

The missing generation
Being young and single in Corbin isn’t easy.
Every day I become more and more convinced that I will die alone in a house full of cats.
And I hate cats.

Dual roles present hazards for Richards
FRANKFORT — Two years ago, some Democratic House members wanted state Rep. Jody Richards, D-Bowling Green, to choose between running for re-election as Speaker of the House or running for governor. That apparently wasn’t a problem this year, as Richards was easily re-elected and then filed as a candidate in the Democratic primary for governor.

Rudy in waiting?
Abstinence educators and responsible parents teach young people to resist the urge for instant gratification. When it comes to the Republican presidential field, a similar strategy of waiting may prove fruitful for Rudolph Giuliani.

Northup will enter governor's race
FRANKFORT Ñ A lot of people really want to become governor after all. For a while Ð as various Democrats on the ÒA-ListÓ publicly declined to run Ð it seemed few were interested in the office.

From the managing editor...
There has been a quiet war waged on the pages of The Times-Tribune sports section Ñ a war about social norms and personal hygiene.
A war about armpit hair.

Have Dems forgotten West Ky.?
Someone smarter than I pointed this out, but Democratic gubernatorial candidates seem to have forgotten the importance of western Kentucky.
That part of the state produced Alben Barkley, Earle Clements, A. B. “Happy” Chandler, Ned Breathitt, Wendell Ford, and Julian Carroll. The area bounded by Bowling Green in the south, Owensboro in the north and Paducah in the west was once solidly Democratic and key to any statewide Democratic candidate’s prospects.
