- Special Olympics Johnson County hosted the third annual swim invitational for Special Olympics swimmers throughout the state. Kudos to Andy Hendricks, Franklin College swim coach, and his swim team for volunteering to run the meet since its inception. Also to be commended are the many volunteers from Franklin Community High School, Franklin College Swim Club, Edinburgh Community High School and Greenwood Community High School, as well as Franklin Community Middle School for use of their facilities. Special thanks to Lindsey Glamm Brown for organizing the event again this year.

Darts
- Darts to the Realtors and political candidates who cannot or will not follow the rules for placing their signs in the rights of way. Politicians take an oath to uphold the Constitution; maybe it should be to uphold the Constitution and the local rules they pass. Realtors should have their licenses revoked if they can not follow the sign ordinances.

- Darts to Franklin city officials, who after announcing to the public that semis would be diverted away from the old town, continue to allow hundreds of trucks to rumble down King and Jefferson streets daily. Putting up a (very small) sign doesn’t cut it. Without enforcement, there will be no compliance by truckers.
