  • Everyone needs a giving bench

    ANNA SEIFERT
    GUEST COLUMNIST

    My name is Anna and I have a giving bench. Before I begin my story, I have to give praise to God and credit to my wonderful friend, Emilie, who started this whole idea with just a simple, loving gesture.

    Her heart is so big and her imagination is so broad that she has changed my life forever. I love you, my dear friend.

    It all began with a little grocery store bag left on my bench out front. It is protected somewhat from the rain and weather by a small overhanging roof.

    A few years back Perry County was battered by what seemed an arctic blast during early December. My wife and I weathered the storm in our old farmhouse out on Dauby Lane that is leaning toward the century mark.

    Oh, its been remodeled and is in good shape, but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s old.

    Snow has a love-hate relationship with those on whom it falls. Many of us cringe at the very word. We hate snow for what it creates and leaves behind: slick roads, fender benders, sidewalks to shovel, wet shoes and cold toes.

    Many of us have had enough of winter already and it’s not even New Year’s yet.

  • Free speech and ‘Duck Dynasty’

    Seldom has an interview in a publication known more for its coverage of men’s fashions than its profiles of celebrities generated such a national conversation.

    We’re speaking, of course, of the GQ interview of Phil Robertson of “Duck Dynasty” fame. Robertson, patriarch of the top-rated cable show, was asked about his view of homosexuality and he obligingly shared his personal views that homosexuality is wrong and a sin. That made lots of people’s wings flutter. Robertson also raised a ruckus with his views on race.

    Philip Patterson
    Guest Columnist

    Think of it as a welcome mat.  The Glover Cary Bridge, freshly repainted and open for business, is once again escorting passengers into Owensboro, Ky. If you haven’t been to our city for a while, I think you will be surprised to learn how much has changed in the past six months.

    • Many exciting construction projects are happening downtown, including a sparkling new convention center, set to open early next year.

    • Restaurants and other businesses are growing.

    The Tell City Junior-Senior High School Renaissance Program served hot chocolate to its students, staff and faculty this Monday for the holiday season.
