Lightning Strikes MSA Plant

Lightning Strikes MSA Plant

“We were borderline having to issue a boiling water advisory – that’s how close we came,” said Charles Aligood at Lexington City Council’s meeting this past Thursday. Aligood reported that the Maury Service Authority water treatment plant underwent power surges and outages amid recent thunderstorms in the area on the weekend of July 14-16. The Council member used this incident as an opportunity to remind Council of the importance of modernizing the MSA system. 07/26/2023 12:00 AM

Entertainment Aplenty

For those who opted out of the “Barbenheimer” theatrical releases this past weekend, there were options for live entertainment available in our midst. Seldom Scene, the progressive bluegrass band that’s been seen plenty at the Lime Kiln Theater over the years, was back at the kiln to provide a rollicking good time for those fortunate enough to have snared tickets to the sold-out show. 07/26/2023 12:00 AM

It Is Long Past Time for NATO to Admit Ukraine

It Is Long Past Time for NATO to Admit Ukraine

In 1956, Moscow sent tanks and troops into Hungary, killing thousands of protesters as it crushed an anti-Communist uprising. Twelve years later the Soviet Union attacked Czechoslovakia, putting a brutal end to the Prague Spring and its liberal reforms. In 1991, Soviet tanks and armored personnel carriers assaulted crowds of civilians defending the independence of Lithuania. Russia fomented a war against Georgia in 2008, illegally seizing the territories of Abkhazia and South Ossetia. Most murderous of all has been Russia’s savage onslaught against Ukraine, which began in 2014 with the conquest of Crimea and exploded in February 2022 into a full-scale invasion aimed at overthrowing the pro-Western government of Volodymyr Zelensky. 07/26/2023 12:00 AM

Grateful For Care Loved One Received

July 19, 2023 Editor, The News-Gazette No one likes to give up the care of their loved one to an institutional setting. That was the decision our family faced following our mother’s recent catastrophic illness. Mother was severely ill due to a compromised water source. At her advanced age, her illness was nearly fatal. After an extended hospital stay, it was determined that Mother would not be returning home nor would family members be able to provide the level of care she needed. 07/26/2023 12:00 AM

‘Swipe’ Fees Harm Local Economy

‘Swipe’ Fees Harm Local Economy

July 18, 2023 Editor, The News-Gazette: Every owner of a business in Rockbridge County sees the impact, every day, of the “swipe” fees banks charge merchants to process credit card transactions. Taking anywhere from $2 to $4 out of every $100 spent on credit cards, these non-negotiable fees are one of our highest costs, forcing prices to increase. Our customers also pay substantial fees for the privilege of using a credit card. 07/26/2023 12:00 AM
