Campbellsville sector BRBB secret agent sends hot link

An Adair County Blue Ribbon Bear Board member, a clandestine operative in the Suburban Campbellsville Sector, has just sent a link to an online story which relates to the picture Mikki Flowers sent yesterday of the Bear Cub in Janella Delp's backyard, just a few miles from Barnett's Creek Road in Adair County. The ink has hardly dried on the story, "Black bears spotted in south-central Kentucky" which appeared online at the Courier-Journal.com on June 29, 2007, at 3:22pmET/2.22pmCT, when the agent checked in to the BRBB home base.

Sightings in the area are very common now, but no less exciting to BRBB members, whose faith in the presence of Bears in Adair County is now being abundantly validated. See Blue Ribbon Bear Board for more on this most ancient and venerated society.

Gradyville Flood: Two sources of the Flood memories



2007-06-29 - Gradyville, KY - Photo By Ed Waggener.
J.W. KELTNER is today's living, walking repository of the oral history of the June 7, 1907, Gradyville Flood. He heard it from his family down through the years. J.W. grew up in Gradyville and has retired nearby. He's studied the new roadside markers, installed by the Adair County Road Department on Thursday, June 28, 2007, many times, taking issue only with the omission of "Gradyville" on the highway map. He's more than pleased with Vonnie Kolbenschlag's narrative and says the picture of Big Creek by George Kolbenschlag is perfect. The other marker at the location, to Gradyvile's Ed Diddle, is special, too. "Mother (Daisy Keltner) went to school with Ed Diddle," he's proud to say.
