I am writing about a concern for the bullying that occurs in our schools. My 11-year-old daughter was recently a victim of a serious offense that occurred on the bus. My little girl has been being bullied by the same little boy for the last three years.

We are writing in reference to the headline article in the April 6 News-Democrat about the hydro electric project at Lock No. 1 on the Kentucky River. As Gary Burbank would say, “Wake up, America!” This is green power. This is very much a project we should be supporting. It would be great to capture every bit of mechanical energy possible from all our dams. We would get power and not consume any of our earth’s natural resources, with no pollution, and affect the community very little.

My 7-year-old daughter and 5-year-old son lost two cats due to people running over them within a three month frame.

My daughter was in the driveway when the second cat got hit. She said it crawled to hide under one of our vehicles. She went over to it and moved Pumpkin, her family pet, to it’s bed on the porch.

She watched it suffer and die within minutes. My kids were sad and crying for the second time.

I am writing as a reminder that we are still working very hard in Carroll County for the homeless, abused and neglected animals. The week of April 9-17 is “Kentucky Week of the Animals.” We have put together a wonderful week of events (see calendar in this paper).
