Outstanding event put on by Green County for Dakota Meyer Writer encourages everyone to come to the October 2, 2011 event at Blue Raider Stadium when it's Columbia/Adair's turn to honor most famous native son By Victoria Pike What a wonderful ceremony in Greensburg for Dakota Meyer, Saturday. I attended and was very impressed. Governor Steve Beshear, Senate President David Williams, Senator Mitch MCConnell, Brett Guthrie, and David Given were in attendance. I hope everyone will come out to Blue Raider Stadium, 820 Hanley Lane, Columbia, KY, October 2, 2011 for the Columbia event to honor Dakota Meyer. After seeing 60 minutes last night, I now have an even better understanding of exactly what happened on that terrible night in September of 2009. He is truly a remarkable young man to have lived through such a terrible ordeal. We all need to go out and show our appreciation to this humble young man for all that he has done for this country. Thanks you so much to all those on the committee planning this most special event. -Victoria Pike 2011-09-19 14:21:38 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Veterans and Veterans Day

A reminder on First Things, First, keeping a Free Service Free Thanks to everyone, especially those people who regularly send material to post, for remembering to always send Events or Yard Sales in ONE EMAIL. This is especially necessary in the case of followups on omissions. The delivery of an announcement package for Events with an if-commercial value of $40 - $60, $100 -$200 or more is predicated on being able to post from ONE EMAIL or Yard Sale Posts valued at $9 up, if charged but are Free when they meet CM policy standards. A critical part of any free Event or Yard Sale posts is Street and Number for Venues. That's our tradeoff: Otherwise, it's an ad. -ED 2011-09-19 06:52:56 | Comments | Printable version
Link to follow-up NPR Segment on Majestic Yachts To ColumbiaMagazine.com: I love NPRs shows and news- it's mostly what I listen to except a hodgepodge of national evening news shows, and 60 Minutes. Of those I sent links to, I'm especially a fan of Morning Edition, (they did a follow-up story from a 2009 report on Majestic Yachts recently). Then, I was living in Oakland, CA, and just about spit up my coffee when I heard that first story come on! I also LOVE "Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me!!" which can be heard in whole or in segments online by Googling, or through the NPR website.

Larry Smith: The Greensburg turnout for Dakota was unbelievable What a tribute to Green County High School's most famous graduate, Dakota Meyer For once, Larry Smith can't find words enough to describe the spectacular turnout in Greensburg, KY, on Saturday, September 17, 2011 for Green County High graduate Dakota Meyer. "Greensburg officials had expected a monster crowd of up to 8,000. The actual number, they now claim is 15,000," he said in a call to CM at 6:28amCT, Monday morning, September 19, 2011. "And get this - Tv stations are estimating a turnout of 20,000! That's double the population of Green County!" "I've never in my life seen a gathering like this one! I was never prouder of Green County than I was on Saturday." Smith, the Operations Manager for Shoreline Communications - The Wave 92.7 and The Big Dawg 99.9 - and one of the area's outstanding photographers, had intended to get photos to share. It was almost impossible, he said, "There was a sea of people." 2011-09-19 06:38:28 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Veterans and Veterans Day

Peg Schaeffer: CBS Video shows difference pet photos make Comments re article 46994: BJ Fudge says CM policy on Animal Adoption vindicated by CBSPeg Schaeffer writes: Just watched the program and couldn't get over what a difference in the dogs' pictures. My biggest problem taking pictures is the delay in the digital cameras. Seems like I might have the greatest picture, but by the time it clicks the Kodak moment is gone. - Peg SchaefferThanks. We think you are doing great, as the accompanying photo of Vinnie illustrates and which the photo sent by sisters Marsha Walker/Vicki Miller epitomizes (Precious Puppies). Of course, we can all learn together how to get those friendly dog photos which will get the animals into good Forever Homes: those photos which mirror the bond between the dog - which tends to love humans more than its own kind - and its keeper/photographer. You don't have to be a genius to see that relationship in the animals' eyes. In fact, one day forensics may use animal photographs to support animal mistreatment cases. You can look in the pet's eyes and see whether the photo was taken by one who loved the animal or not. Together, using good photography, we can make 100% adoption a reality. -ED WAGGENER 2011-09-19 03:44:52 | Comments | Printable version
