Dear Editor,

The Corbin Lions Club thanks the Corbin community for supporting our annual Christmas Basket Program throughout the years. Without your support, we would not have been able to help members of the Corbin community by providing food baskets for Christmas.

Dear hometown church community,

My Christian brothers and sisters:

My vote is not for sale. Not for sale for money, whiskey, cigarettes or drugs. My vote is not for sale for the promise of socialized medicine or the promise of socialism. No Republican candidate has ever promised me anything but an opportunity to make a living on a level playing field. That …

The whole country often is adversely affected by Sen. Mitch McConnell's decisions.

Dear Editor,

Several people I know have been told they cannot be a Christian and a Democrat. I am both.

Kentucky’s forest industries generate over $13 billion a year to the state’s economy and employ more than 59,000 Kentuckians. That includes over 2,500 Master Loggers who help Kentucky be the largest southern producer of hardwood sawlogs and veneer.

Recently, Regina Petrey Bates Bunch Huff posted a picture of my office on her Facebook page depicting my political yard signs for Biden, Carolyn Willis and Matt Anderson. She stated "Let me be clear, if you support Biden, you couldn't possibly support me!!"

Regina Petrey Bates Bunch Huff in a June 4, 2020 news article stated she "is willing to give up her time and work diligently to ensure we have the best opportunities to offer your children...."

I've never had as much hope for this country as I do right now. When George Floyd was taking his last labored breaths under the knee of a callous, indifferent aggressor, a flame was ignited. People I've never seen taking up the cause of social justice before are affirming the inherent dignit…

The members of Kentucky Indigenous People LLC (KIP) want to unequivocally state that we stand in solidarity with the African American/Black people of the United States in their centuries old struggle against systemic racism and brutality against them even to the point of death at the hands o…

While watching Governor Beshear's performance during his COVID-19 updates, I was convinced that he would have been the perfect person to play Mr. Rogers in a movie. Alas, that role went to Tom Hanks. But the governor was employing the Mary Poppins strategy, "a spoonful of sugar makes the med…

I just wanted to say how proud I am of our little town. We came together to support our local businesses during the COVID-19 crisis (still are) and we came together in spite of our reputation to honor the memory of George Floyd and to denounce police brutality of our fellow Americans. Being …

It is a great day to be a Corbin Redhound. On May 23rd our community came together in unity to support Corbin seniors as they paraded through town. It was amazing to watch so many students, eager with pride to present themselves to their families, the community, and the world; and the commun…

The COVID-19 pandemic is a healthcare challenge unlike anything we've faced before. It has changed the way all of us in the medical field treat and care for our patients. I'm truly proud of the selfless work I see performed day in and day out by my fellow health care providers across the com…

All Kentuckians have a part to play in "flattening the curve" of the coronavirus outbreak, whether it's staying healthy at home or providing essential healthcare services.

Health insurance companies in America make a staggering $100 billion yearly in profits. The Kentucky Department of Insurance should, in theory, provide a check and balance by keeping the insurance companies half way honest. When a citizen files a complaint with the Department, they do an imp…

My father was a combat medic in the Pacific during World War II. Most of his training was done with the 4th Armored Division before he was split off and assigned to the 706th Tank Battalion in the 77th Infantry Division. During his training, his best buddy was a man named Calvin Gregory from…

In the beginning man was blessed with eternal life. The human body was designed to rejuvenate itself over and over and never die of old age. The first of mankind lived for thousands of years, by my calculation, by the time Adam and Eve was created there were mankind on earth for three thousa…

Dear Editor,

I wish to thank all of Whitley, Knox and Laurel counties for the support and participation in the 2019 US Marine Corps Toys For Tots Campaign. This, being our third year in the area, we knocked it out of the ball park.

Mr. Ronnie Ellis noted in his Times Tribune Dec 21, 2019 column “The Republican Party — no matter how often its members proclaim it — is no longer the party of Lincoln.” He is right! The Republican Party has continuously improved while the Democrat Party is still mired in the corruptness of …
