Please send your Mom a special wish right here; Mother's Day is Sunday
Posted Tuesday, May 6, at 2:52 PM
Sunday is Mother's Day and it's the day when we give thanks and heartfelt homage to our wonderful mothers.

Mother's Day is a time of remembrance and celebration for Mom.

It is a time when we ought to provide our Moms and the Moms in our families with breakfast in bed, plenty of family time, and leave crayon scribbled "I Love You's."

Mom's aren't necessarily our own mothers. Our wives, sisters and friends are mothers also deserve special attention on Mothers' Day.

I know Mother's Day is always a day when I really miss my Mom, who is passed on and is now in a better place.

No words can describe the thanks and gratitude I have for what she did for me and my family during her days with us.

She is missed, but never forgotten.

It would be wonderful if our readers would leave their Mother a special message on this website. Just leave a comment at the end of this blog.

Please share your thoughts. I'm sure they will make all our Moms smile on their special day.

Vote Tuesday for all the right reasons
Posted Sunday, May 4, at 6:21 AM

As Greene County residents head to the polls Tuesday, let us not forget there are many important races on the ballot that may have a greater influence on our daily lives than the race for president. Whether you are a Democrat or Republican this year's Primary Election begs for our attention and for each of us to exercise our Constitutional right to make our voice heard at the ballot box...

Early Saturday morning thousands of miles from our home here in Greene County many of our brave National Guard and other military troops were out running in a unique mini-marathon event in Iraq, which was coordinated remotely with the OneAmerica 500 Festival Mini Marathon through the streets of Indianapolis...

Turning 55 sure beats the alternative
Posted Friday, April 25, at 3:10 PM

Today, I pass another personal milestone. I thought about blowing out way too many blazing candles on my birthday cake, but then realized I don't eat cake so that would be rather uneventful. I quietly turn 55 on April 25. I was born in 1953 -- the year an old soldier named Dwight Eisenhower became president of the United States -- becoming the first Republican to live in the White House in 20 years...

Smoke shack draws a lot of discussion
Posted Friday, April 18, at 2:57 PM

Apparently, Greene County Tobacco Prevention and Cessation Coalition director Nancy Cummings recently struck a nerve with a good number of local folks. She questioned the county commissioners about the presence of the so-called "smoke shack" at the Greene County Courthouse in downtown Bloomfield...

Cageless chicken eggs? Are you serious?
Posted Friday, April 11, at 3:52 PM

Call me "old fashion," "set in my ways" or just plain stubborn, but I have a real problem accepting this organic food kick we hear so much about these days. You venture out to your local grocery store and what do you see on the shelves, in the produce bins and in the refrigerated compartments?...

'Night crew' receives some interesting calls
Posted Friday, March 28, at 6:21 PM

I wouldn't say our "night crew" here at the office has been bombarded with what I would call strange telephone calls since we transformed last year to a morning publication. We do get our share of people calling "after hours" about classified ads -- either wanting more information about a classified they have read in the Greene County Daily World or The Shopper, or wanting to place an ad...

Change difficult, but necessary for this county
Posted Friday, March 21, at 3:20 PM

Change. It's tough to understand. It's even more difficult to get on board with until you see some definite light at the end of tunnel signaling that this change will actually be a good thing today, tomorrow and in the long-term future. That's where Greene County sits today...

The boom and shaking wasn't an earthquake
Posted Friday, March 14, at 10:07 AM

There was a boom, some shaking, and a big bang. No, there wasn't an earthquake in Linton the other afternoon. It was bone-dry where I was attempting to walk near the horseshoe pits at Humphrey's Park -- in an effort to venture clear of the muddy grass area not far from the swings...

Pray for the Todd family
Posted Tuesday, March 11, at 7:55 PM

Death comes at an hour and a time that is never known or pre-announced. A rural Bloomfield family is grieving today after a tragic traffic accident Monday morning that claimed the life of 73-year-old Morris Todd and seriously injured his 66-year-old wife, Judy...
