Phillip Coffey: Daily Routine

By Phillip Coffey
Not so much fretting since I'm almost 'plum' out of debt.
Getting some small increments for feeding my spoiled cat.
He sure has taken over - hours sleeping at my calloused feet.
Perhaps I've paid my dues - less running with 'the challenged rats'.

Much of my daily routine is to warrant off the unwelcomed blues.
No guarantees by any political affiliation that's ever in command.
Keeping a safe distance from all of the associations with no regard
For the law, humanity, children, or fellowship of women or man.

Letter: Amber waves of sedge

Billy Joe Fudge writes:
Technically speaking your title "Amber Waves of Grain" is incorrect, given that it is a pic of Broom sedge.

Safety smarts for the holiday weekend

By Emory Kidd
Director, Metcalfe County Emergency Management


Enjoy your holiday but do it safely. These safety tips, fireworks, grilling and water safety, are shared from the Red Cross.

FIREWORKS SAFETY

Many public fireworks shows may be canceled this summer as communities try to avoid holding events where large crowds will gather. If you plan to use your own fireworks, check first if it is legal in your area.

Never give fireworks to small children, and never throw or point a firework toward people, animals, vehicles, structures or flammable materials. Always follow the instructions on the packaging.
