The first difference you would have noticed was the new face at the registration table. And that was just about the only one. Sherry Pardue was there to greet young football players and their parents with a smile Friday as they checked in for the Boyle County Youth Football Camp. She fell into that job when her husband, Chris, took over the camp as part of his new job as Boyle?s head coach. But on the field behind her, things looked very much like they always have. ?I?

I'm out. That is to say, I'm obsolete. History. Yesterday's news. I had a pretty good run, better than 30 years of uninterrupted popularity. But it's all over now. I've been replaced by someone younger and hipper, someone named Jack or Logan or Noah. I am Michael, and I once had one of the most popular names that parents chose to give their newborn boys. But no more. According to an Associated Press story by Samantha Critchell that appeared in this newspaper and many others, Michael is no longer one of the most-used names given to little boys.

Anne Milburn and Kathy Milby have more in common than sisterhood. Both are single women who wanted kids, and each adopted a child from China. Maggie and Noah, both 7, seem to be the right connection to the right dots in these two women's lives. "It is, by far, one of the world's biggest commitments," Milby says, looking at her daughter, Maggie. "I've always been single, was career driven and held a demanding job, and at 43, I just realized - if I'm going to do this, I'd better get to it. " Milburn, 39, felt her overwhelming desire to be a parent hit three years after her divorce.

By Mike Marseemarsee@amnews.comNoah Keeton would rewrite the ending if he could, but he said the rest of the story turned out just fine.The former Lincoln County star won more than 100 games and scored more than 1,000 points in four years at Northwood University in West Palm Beach, Fla.He concluded his career by playing for a national championship last week, and that game didn't go Keeton's way.

Grant County will be giving a 75-percent property-tax break to the “Ark Encounter” theme park that will soon be built there. This is in addition to the approximately $47 million tax exemption granted by the state. While, as a Christian, I support this venture and see it as a viable business idea, I see no reason to grant them an exception over other businesses in the tax code. The claim is that the Ark Emcounter will create jobs so the tax break will feed back into the community; therefore everyone benefits and thus the tax exemption is justified.

The fact that the sun rose on God’s green earth on Sunday, May 22, presumably left some delusional folks in Oakland, Calif., a bit confused.

If you’re reading this column, it’s a safe bet that Camping’s “prophecy” was — to use a good old King James term — “false.” In Old Testament times, Camping would have been stoned for having made...

As a Christian, I am thrilled about plans for a Bible-based theme park in northern Kentucky. As a conservative, I am against the proposed tax break for the construction of this park advocated by Gov. Steve Beshear. Let me explain. It’s called the “Ark Encounter” and will include a full-size replica of Noah’s Ark based on the biblical proportions. They say it will create more than 900 full- and part-time jobs, and the park is expecting nearly 2 million visitors a year.
