Whitfield: Post Office closures impact small communities By Robert Sumner News from the office of Rep. Ed Whitfield's office WASHINGTON, D.C. - U.S. Rep. Ed Whitfield (KY-01), Chairman of the House Subcommittee on Energy and Power, today sent a letter to Postmaster General Patrick Donahoe encouraging him to look for solutions to balance the U.S. Postal Service's (USPS) budget rather than close many rural post offices. "Many of the post offices slated for closure across Kentucky's First District are in small communities," said Whitfield. "Some of our post offices served as critical points of contact for many of our citizens during severe weather over the past years. While I understand that the USPS must consider all options as they try to bring their budget into balance, many of these post offices are not just conveniences. They are necessities. Furthermore, the total savings is such an insignificant part of the budgetary problems confronting the Postal Service that it is hard to justify the hardships these closures would cause." The Postmaster General has announced a list of approximately 3,700 post offices that will be studied for possible closure or relocation. These offices were identified based on specific criteria such as low foot traffic, reduced sales and declining mail volume. Each post office on the list of proposed closures will be individually reviewed before a final decision is made.

Hodgenville and the Presidents, 1909-1936 Two with strong ties to Columbia, KY, Marse Henry Watterson and Favorite Grandson of the Shire Mark Twain, were members of the Board of Directors of the Lincoln Farm Association, formed in 1906, to build a memorial to Abraham Lincoln By "Jim" Between 1909 and 1936, no fewer than four presidents visited Hodgenville. Teddy, the first President Roo-suh-velt, came there in 1909, on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of Lincoln's birth, less than three weeks before he (Roosevelt) left office. Two years later, his successor, William Howard Taft, breezed into town to dedicate the Lincoln birthplace site.

Dave Rosenbaum: On Pre-locavores in early Fairplay, KY By Dave Rosenbaum I was drawn to your article about the lady in Gradyville whom you called a locavore. Well, I'm fairly certain that we didn't have any locavores at Fairplay, although most folks figured that what you did in the sanctity of your own home was your business. I tried to follow the linked article from The New York Times but kinda got hung up on "egalitarian" and "urban enclave". At Fairplay everyone grew a big garden and canned vegetables, killed a couple of hogs and brought a turn of corn to Loren Keith's grist mill when they needed some corn meal. Folks made out pretty well, but would probably have been well served if someone had told them about them locavores. --Dave Rosenbaum Comments re article 45852 FoodLink The problems of locavores in Appalachia 2011-07-27 12:19:19 | Comments | Printable version

Gradyville, KY: Big Corn in Big Creek Valley Click on headline for introduction plus photo(s) By Betsy Fausnaugh I finally got a chance to take a few pictures this a.m. of the beautiful corn crop on the neighbor's farm, MacGregor Scott's, across the road. One of the nicest fields around, course the fertile, Big Creek Valley soil couldn't possibly grow anything but the best, in Gradyville! I am truly amazed at the "finger-like" roots that help to keep the corn in the vertical position. However, when you see the size of the ears that they are helping to support, it is really one of God's greatest engineering feats! Have a great day! - Betsy Fausnaugh 2011-07-27 07:07:22 | Comments | Printable version
