    Outlet mall questions grow

    Shelby County’s Comprehensive Plan web site states the following:

    ”At the Triple S Planning Commission, our job is to guarantee that the 13,000 people who move to Shelby County over the next two decades receive the services that they need to prosper, while ensuring that those who live here now can continue to enjoy Shelby County’s rural charm and high quality of life.”

    Traffic woes on ‘Horizon’

    The Horizon Property Group’s Outlet Shoppes at “Louisville,” proposed for Exit 28 on I-64 in Simpsonville, will prove to be a traffic nightmare for us all, especially those residents living on the south side of Interstate 64. Triple S Planning and Zoning has prudently delayed the vote on the project for further review until its meeting Aug. 21.

    Shelby County’s MVP

     

    I always look forward to letters from Ted Igleheart and last week’s (“Good position on health-care law,” July11) was no exception. On par with The Courier-Journal, he can be counted on to espouse an opinion disagreed with by most in our community.

    Good position on health-care law

    Kudos to The Sentinel-Newsfor boldly recognizing the wisdom of the  Supreme Court's ruling that the Affordable Health Care Act is constitutional (“Health-care law deserves its chance,” July 3), in spite of the hue and cry of our own loser U.S, senators that it must be repealed in order to deny a victory for Obama.

    There’s more to drug crime spike

    A sensational teen

    It was appropriate that Claire Schaefer was chosen Miss Teen Queen of the Shelby County Fair because she is an all-around queen in our book.

    The Shelby County High School teenager knew how “sensational” it is to enter a pageant and win...bringing home a sash, tiara and flowers. She also knew that girls with special needs probably don’t ever have that opportunity, so she made it happen with the first Miss Sensational pageant.

    Flag Day trivia


    When the United States was first created, our flag had 13 starts and 13 stripes. After the admission of Vermont and Kentucky, a resolution was adopted on Jan. 1, 1794, making a new flag with 15 starts and 15 stripes.

    The flag then looked like this.

    Inspectors can’t enforce codes

     

    People should not be concerned about the shortage of building inspectors in the city of Shelbyville (“Shelbyville plugging inspector’s position,” May 30). The Shelby County building inspector cannot enforce the building codes anyway.
