House proposes harsher penalties for dog/cat torture From Jordan Hensley, LRC Frankfort, KY - Changes to Kentucky's animal cruelty laws could be on the way under a new House bill. House Bill 103 would redefine what torture, physical injury and serious physical injury or infirmity of a dog or cat means in state statute and make the first offense a class D felony, according to bill co-sponsor Rep. Nick Wilson, R-Williamsburg. The bipartisan bill's primary sponsor is Rep. Ryan Dotson, R-Winchester. "This bill is badly needed," Wilson said. "There is a blind spot that I have experienced when it comes to the laws on animal abuse. During my experience as a prosecutor, we rarely had good options on combating animal abuse behavior."

Letter: Time Zones Joyce Coomer writes: I grew up in Adair County. Most everything other than school and farming (banking, piano lessons, doctor appointments, shopping, etc.) was done in Casey County. That has given me a life-long habit of mentally switching time zones when I cross a county (or state) line. I never have understood why some people have so much difficulty with time zones. As for me, I'd prefer we not change to Eastern Time.Comments re: Letter: Time zone 2023-03-01 10:45:49 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

Tommy Druen: It all started with a cat Previous Column: Revisiting predictability By Tommy Druen It all started with a cat. It was a lazy, fat, cynical orange cat that caught my interest. That cat possessed a hatred of Mondays and a love of lasagna. And his name was Garfield. I was probably about six years old when I learned about Garfield. My grandfather had a daily subscription to the Courier-Journal and he introduced me to the comics section. It was the early 1980s and Garfield was hilarious, at least to an elementary student. Soon, my interests expanded. Garfield introduced me to his friends, Beetle Bailey, Hagar the Horrible, The Wizard of Id and so many more. My parents had subscriptions to our local paper and the Sunday Courier-Journal. I loved how they were different. I may have been one of the few kids in the 1980s entranced by the antics of Alley Oop, but I devoured it and most all the comic strips like crazy. As I got a bit older, the comics were still my first stop in the newspaper. Soon I'd find myself with the sports section though. And the fascination kept growing as I would pore through the editorials and opinion pieces. Short of the classifieds, there wasn't much of the newspaper I didn't consume. It's a habit I still have, with multiple subscriptions and a habit of reading quite a few online each day.
