Feedback: Going to AG might not be best tactic Writer thinks going to management of stations better; writer says gas in Knoxville, TN is running $1.59 to $1.76 for gallon of regular About: "Gas Price Drumbeat: Does AG need to be notified" To ColumbiaMagazine.com: While I agree with Mr. Doss' premise of holding these stations accountable, I'm not certain that getting the AG involved is the best solution. Initially, I thought that might be the best way to go, but after thinking about it further, I'm not sure that it is. If the AG gets involved and finds the stations guilty of gouging, they fine the station and the State keeps the money. How does that benefit the consumer?

Songs distinguish Carolina, Black-capped chickadees Songs distinguish Carolina, Black-capped chickadeesAbout: Chickadee lands at Tucker's Station To ColumbiaMagazine.com:> I think this is a chickadee and any chickadee in Kentucky is a Carolina Chickadee - didn't realize there are any Black-capped Chickadees in KY. The Black-capped Chickadee is very similar to the Carolina Chickadee and where their ranges overlap they can be difficult to separate. In fact, they have trouble telling themselves apart and hybrids occur. The most obvious difference between them is their songs. Black-capped sings a two note song while Carolina sings a four note song. Hybrids sing a three note song. Outside of the breeding season, when chickadees don't sing much, the Black-capped is slightly larger, has more white edging in the wing and has slower, lower-pitched calls. Just my thoughts. s/Jeanne Marshburn 2009-01-29 08:43:19 | Comments | Printable version

Gas Price Drumbeat: Does AG need to be notified? To ColumbiaMagazine.com: I noticed our gas prices jumped overnight. I checked areas around us and their's are the same as yesterday--average around us $1.67. Ours went up to $1.87. The governor declared an emergency which makes price gouging illegal. Some were just fined for price gouging during the windstorm back in September. Should we contact the AG? s/Gerald Doss> Dated January 28, 2009 2009-01-29 05:33:19 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
Congressman Whitfield with losers on stimulus package Congressman Ed Whitfield voted with the losing side yesterday against H.R. 1, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. Whether you agree with Whitfield that the bill was a "non-stimulus stimulus bill," as he describes it, or you consider his vote a partisan position which will put the First District of Kentucky in bad stead when Federal assistance is needed from the current administration, or have another opinion, you may want to let him know. His contact information web page is at http://whitfield.house.gov/contact/index.shtml. or you may call Sandy Simpson at his Tompkinsville field office at (270) 487-9509. Also voting on the losing side were Brett Guthrie (R-KY-2), Geoff Davis (R-KY 4), and Harold Rogers (R-KY 5). Voting on the winning side and whose districts are arguably in line for greater preferences when the stimulus package becomes law, as expected, were Representatives John Yarmuth (D-KY 3)and Ben Chandler (D-KY 6). 2009-01-29 04:37:51 | Comments | Printable version
