Today's Opinions

  • Free fun in August

     The seemingly unending saga of the unfinished spray park goes on.

    The suggestion by Mayor Tim Kent that the spray park might be finished and operational by Fourth of July weekend proved very optimistic.

  • Junk mail or monthly bills

     Some people detest junk mail. I sort of like to look through it, because it’s about all the mail we get, except for the monthly bills.

    I especially like the catalogs, even though I seldom order anything out of them. 

  • Keeping up with digital

     The New Albany School District has taken another step forward in preparing students for being successful in college or in a career.

    This fall the New Albany School of Career and Technical Education will offer high school students a new course program  to help them with digital media skills.

  • Was it the ‘best’ bid?

     This week’s New Albany Board of Aldermen meeting didn’t improve our comfort level much with the plan to have a new independent contractor take over animal control in the city.

  • Tomatoes bring guilt

     Every time I pull into our driveway, I start thinking about tomatoes and feeling a little guilty.

    A tomato plant is growing up right through the concrete, at least it seems so. Actually, I think its roots go down between cracks in the curb. Ever since it came up, my wife has been out there nurturing it.

  • Cell phones and driving

    Recently I read a story about the National Safety Council wanting the government to ban talking on cell phones while driving.

     It got me to thinking about driving distractions.

  • Honoring our nation

     Tomorrow is the day we honor America.

    But do we really? Oh, we’ll put out our flags, perhaps set off some fireworks and maybe even do something patriotic. But do we really honor our country and its government? We wonder sometimes.

  • Improving Ingomar

     Much needed upgrades to the electrical system, as well as other maintenance items, are being completed this summer at Ingomar Attendance Center.
