If you haven’t picked up a copy of the Henderson KY Gleaner newspaper lately you should.

Take today (September 2, 2009)  for example the paper is full of many wonderful stories about our community and world around us such as:

Electronics Recycling starting next week – Way to go Henderson County Government and Pauline Allen!

Chuck Stinnett’s recent trip to Quebec and how he experienced multiple cultures and teaching me what a Loonie and Toonie are!  I did not realize how much Canada and Quebec has become a melting pot for so many people from other countries and religions.

Dear Myra McKee Polley’s bout with cancer and how she stays “Lookin’ Good”.  Judy Jenkins always writes the most touching stories.  I tell Judy Jenkins that her writing makes tears come to my eyes by her ability to capture a story.

Home building in Henderson KY  is picking up.  Henderson KY is is a great place to live, work and raise a family!

How our ugly now defunct power plant in downtown is being turned into art and a tool to teach architecture students.

A interesting Night Club Owner/Producer in Evansville Dies.  Wow, he was just ahead of his time.

How a Hospital in Des Moines Iowa is using Twitter to keep patients informed about surgery.   Wonder if Methodist Hospital (Henderson KY’s local hospital) administrators saw this news article?  It is a great idea and the article said “one way to further relationships” and keep patients in Henderson KY for medical care.  (this is not online Gleaner but is a national story, you can find the article on page A6 of 9/2/09 print edition of gleaner or this AP Online  News Article)

Way to go Gleaner editors and writers you truly are the best. Keep up the great work.  I know things are tough, but your work is above average in my small opinion.
