Poetry by Robert Stone: You will rise, a villanelle

You will rise
-a villanelle for Linda Regula
When you declare that you know, you know lies,
then suddenly for you will truth unfold.
When you decide that you will, you will rise.

When memories are stones the bad incise,
then chisel change the terrors there inscrolled.
When you declare that you know, you know lies.

When possibilities undim your skies,
then shiver shake the fears that once controlled.
When you decide that you will, you will rise.

When past despair all future hope defies,
then bravely breathe the new foretold.
When you declare that you know, you know lies.

When daybreaks difficult are soiled with sighs,
then grooving grasp the promises enrolled.
When you decide that you will, you will rise.

When you once empty now are filled with cries,
then always you respect must high uphold.
When you declare that you know, you know lies.
When you decide that you will, you will rise.

- Robert Stone, 15 May 2011

100 years ago: Commencement week on Arbor Vitae hill

Prophetic Words:
Columbia has almost doubled its population in the last eight years, and its rapid rise is due in great measure to the Lindsey-Wilson. That the school will continue to prosper, the town continue to advance in growth, no one who is acquainted with the workings of the institution, has the slightest pretext to deny. - JOHN ED MURRELL, in the Adair County News, May 24, 1911

100 years ago: Commencement week on Arbor Vitae hill
Commencement at "the Lindsey-Wilson" was considerably different a century ago.

The end-of-term activities kicked off on Saturday, May 13th, with the annual L.W.T.S. (Lindsey Wilson Training School) Field Day, for which the admission fee was twenty-five cents, the prizes were plentiful, and the fun nearly endless. In some of the more unusual competitions, Guy Stevenson and Frank B. Hulse took first and second in the somersault race; Hulda McFarland and Leontine Leachman took top honors in the candy eating contest; and Miss Alva Knight of Jamestown carried the day in the girls' wheelbarrow race.

Comments on Stamp out Hunger campaign

Comments re article 44342. Today Help Columbia KY Postal Carriers Stamp out Hunger

Carolyn Plahuta writes:
I'm all for helping the needy. But the hungry in Adair County and the rest of Kentucky wouldn't be as hungry if they spent their money on food instead of those expensive cigarettes. It seems to be the poor who smoke the most. -Carolyn Plahuta
Hope this doesn't mean you'd withhold food from hungry families just because a parent spends money on cigarettes. I can't think of any good reason not to support the Postal Carriers Stamp Out Hunger or the Food Pantry - especially not parental mishavior. Smoking would seem an unrelated matter. -Ed Waggener

Rumpole and the Primrose Path

I must confess to an addiction from which I have recovered.

For years I regularly watched television. In Texas in 1964 fellow graduate students and I gathered at the house of one of our number every afternoon at 4:00 p.m. for a dose of Maverick reruns.

Rev. Joey N. Welsh: Twins, birthdays

Another Angle, the occasional musings of a Kentucky pastor. Some Biblical twins, some 20th century twins, and a birthday appreciation . First published 14 May 2006, in the Hart County News-Herald
The next earlier Another Angle Remembrances of Juleps past, about the Kentucky Derby and Mint Juleps.

By The Rev. Joey N. Welsh

There aren't many twins mentioned in the Bible, and the ones who are noted are a troubled, conflicted lot. Jacob and Esau (Genesis 25 and following) were competitors in the womb, and their conflict continued into their adult life. The disciple of Jesus, Thomas (also called Didymus - or "the twin") is known to us primarily as Doubting Thomas because of events related to us in John 20. We are told nothing of Thomas' twin.
