Birds of Kentucky: Belted Kingfisher



2007-09-16 - Kentucky - Photo by Pen. Widespread along streams and other bodies of water throughout Kentucky, these small birds can usually be heard before they're seen.

Tom Chaney, Sept. 16, 2007: And Then They Came for Me

Of Writers and Their Books: A drama review of And Then They Came for me
By Tom Chaney
The Shock of Reminder
When I attend the theatre I expect a good story. I expect that story to tie in with my own knowledge and to cause me to view the world in startling new ways. And Then They Came for Me did just that for me at Kentucky Repertory Theatre last Saturday night.

It has been sixty-two years since the first allied troops entered the death camps in Germany and Poland. The sight that confronted those soldiers at that time and the complicity of humanity in the appalling treatment of prisoners of the Nazi regime must never leave us.
