Fireworks safety (oxymoron) tips from Health & Family Services And remember: Just because the Kentucky Legislature, in a not rare enough moment of lunacy has permitted wider sales of these dangerous devices in our state, fireworks still have the same inherent dangers we all know they have. For those who believe in the Christian principle of the Golden Rule, please practice it and only cause a disturbance of the peace at reasonable times, if there are such. (Jesus would not be shooting fireworks at 10:30pmCT in the middle of town, would He?) Finally, if a tragedy befalls a member of your family engaging in this senseless violence, you ought to have known better. I prefer only the Fourth of July Fireworks from the Adair County Fairgrounds - Seventyish, Grouchy, and Still Sleepless in Columbia, KY, Ed Waggener By Beth Fisher and Jill Midkiff News from the Health and Family Services Cabinet Independence Day usually brings thoughts of parades, backyard barbecues and, of course, fireworks. This year, the Kentucky Department for Public Health (DPH) wants the public to focus on safety in addition to celebrating the holiday, particularly when using certain types of fireworks recently legalized in Kentucky.

JIM: Remembering an old friend, Kenneth Bernard He was the last surviving sibling of one of South Central Kentucky great families. Jim recounts a brief bit of the World War II service of a Russell Countian will who be respectfully remembered far into the future, Kenneth A. Bernard, Russell Springs, KY (1918-2011) By "Jim" Mr. Kenneth Bernard enlisted in the U.S. Army in early September, 1941 - one month after his 23rd birthday and three months before Japan's cowardly attack on Pearl Harbor - and shortly thereafter was sent to the Pacific Theatre of operations. Over three years later, the March 29, 1945 Russell County News carried this brief report: With the 24th Infantry (Victory) Division in the Philippines (Special dispatch to the Russell County News)--Homeward bound after 38 months of overseas service in the Southwest Pacific is Corporal Kenneth A. Bernard of Russell Springs, Ky.The April 19, 1945 edition of the Russell County News carried an article about a family get-together at the family home at Humble, Ky., on Sunday, April 16th, in honor of Kenneth's first furlough home in 43 months. Among those named in attendance was "a Miss Lawless of Jamestown." By the time the article appeared, Miss Lawless was Mrs. Bernard; she and Kenneth were married on Monday, April 17th. Rest in peace, old friend. - JIM 2011-07-03 10:12:10 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Jim: History
Chuck Hinman: IJMA No. 364. Patriots and Patriotism This is the second Chuck Hinman column today. This is an extraordinary column, even for Chuck Hinman. It was recommended both by his editor for CM, Robert Stone, Lebanon, TN, and by his good friend, George Kolbenschlag of Columbia, KY, who also sent it with a note, "I have struck up a correspondence with Chuck Hinman. I enjoy reading his stuff. Anyway, he sent me this one today and I'm forwarding it to you in case you have not seen it. I think it's appropriate for Independence Day." Is Chuck Hinman your favorite Sunday with CM columnist, as many tell us? If so, we hope you'll drop him a line by email. Reader comments to CM are appreciated, as are emails directly to Mr. Hinman at: charles.hinman@sbcglobal.netThe next earlier Chuck Hinman column: Chuck Hinman. IJMA No. 018 - It's A Small World By Chuck Hinman Being an old codger, I have been a little overwhelmed at the compliments famed newscaster Tom Brokaw has paid to my generation. He writes as though we are some special breed, as though patriotism began within us. He labels us "The Greatest Generation"! It would be flattering if that were true but I must softly protest. I hope that the sincere display of patriotism by so many modern-day patriots is not an exclusive characteristic of my generation. Nor do I believe that it is.

JIM: The Burton-Settle Duel of 1850 A disagreement between merchant B.F. Settle and J.D. "Diblow" Burton escalated to such intensity that a duel was scheduled, with seconds William H. Saunders for Settle and Creed Hancock for Burton a part of the showdown at the "seminary." Historian "Jim" found this account, written 51 years after the event, by P.H. Bridgewater, and re-enters it on CM, whose editors are forever mindful that Adair County is blessed by the services of the greatest historians of our age. -EW By "Jim The following article appeared in the Adair County News 110 years ago today - July 3, 1901 - but the events related therein occurred some 51 years earlier. The author, Patrick Henry "P.H." Bridgewater, was a lad of fifteen or sixteen summers when he witnessed the duel that wasn't. (The "old seminary" most likely referred to the Robertson Academy, which operated for about dozen years during the early part of the 19th century.)

Rev. Joey N. Welsh: Proclaim liberty throughout the land Another Angle, the occasional musings of a Kentucky pastor, by Rev. Joey N. Welsh. This week's column, "Proclaim liberty throughout all the land...", first appeared in the Hart County News-Herald 2 July 2006 The next earlier Another Angle: Rev. Joey N. Welsh: The Good Ship Lollilop and The Titanic By The Rev. Joey N. Welsh People these days are familiar with many passages from the Old Testament books of Genesis and Exodus, but few 21st century Christians hear much about the book that comes next, Leviticus. Though it contains a scant few narrative stories, Leviticus primarily relates the detailed practices to be overseen by the Levites - members of the tribe of Levi - and the priests of the ancient Hebrews. To say that this section of Old Testament law is detailed is a major understatement. The book describes a holiness code, a religious reaction or practice in reply to nearly every conceivable aspect of ancient life.
