  • MY WORD: Taoism and leaving the economy alone

    A chap by the name of Craig Lindsay wrote a letter to the editor of the Wall Street Journal, which appeared in the Nov. 8 edition. His thesis is that a successful economy run by a private enterprise economy in a political environment of freedom within the law truly does lift all boats.

    The problem is it also produces outstanding success stories to which the ever-present “left” can view with alarm exclaiming “Hey, wait a minute. You’re not getting your fair share, these dirty capitalists are getting rich off your sweat.”

    Residential zoning doesn’t fit with business park

     

    Has the Triple S Planning Commission decided to throw out the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Regulations?!

    They have approved a zoning request to change a portion of Breighton Business Center from X-2 (General Interchange to R-4 (Multifamily Residential)? Does this make sense to anyone?

  • WHAT WE THINK: SCCF grants are on target

    We are always pleased to see the Shelby County Community Foundation’s work payoff with its yearly donations.

    And with more than $46,000 donated again this year, the SCCF is continuing a nearly twenty-five-year run of making a difference in the county.

    And we were ecstatic to see the foundation make some changes that mirrored some suggestions we made last year.

    In the Nov. 27, 2013 edition of The Sentinel-News, we wrote:

  • WE CONGRATULATE: Our veterans

    As institutions and individuals lined up to thank and listen to veterans over the weekend and on Tuesday in celebration of Veterans Day, we thought to list the way those men and women have affected our lives.

    Their commitment to preserving our life, liberty and freedom can’t fit on a list and it certainly can’t fit in one day.

    While we love to see the ceremonies and time dedicated to those that have served our country, it’s too much for one day.
