John Chowning commends C/AC for Salute to Sgt. Dakota Meyer

Commends exemplary characterics of what is good and noble for our nation

John Chowning writes:
Congratulations to Columbia/Adair County on the recognition given to Congressional Medal of Honor recipient Sgt. Dakota Meyer. As many have stated, Sgt. Meyer's humility, courageous service, and concern for his colleagues are exemplary and characteristic of what is good and noble in our nation. All of us at Campbellsville University join in expressing heartfelt gratitude to Sgt. Meyer for his service to our country - and to all those who have served our nation.

Campbellsville University has also offered Sgt. Meyer a full-tuition scholarship as well. This offer was given to him during the recent celebration in Greensburg-Green County. We felt that this offer was the best manner in which we could join many others in saying thanks to Sgt. Meyer for his dedication and service.

Best regards,

John E. Chowning

Dr. Sandidge, Green Co. native, practiced at Wisdom, KY

Dr. Washington Thompson Sandidge with son
(From CM 2007-12-28) - Wisdom, KY - Photo and information furnished by Rondal Watson and Barbara Barton, great grand children of Doctor Sandidge.

Dr. Washington Thompson Sandidge was one of area's most colorful and important citizens. From his service to wounded soldiers on both sides in the Civil War, to the memory of his wives and the special culture they brought to the area, Dr. Sandidge story is one to remember

From the December 2007, Senior Quest Magazine, Edmonton, KY. Photos and information furnished by Rondal Watson and Barbara Barton, great grand children of Doctor Sandidge.

By Geniece Marcum

Among the early physicians to practice medicine in this area was Dr. Washington Thompson Sandidge, a native of Green County, Kentucky. Born in 1830, he was a son of Dabney Sandidge and Dolly Thompson Sandidge, who came to Green County from Albamarle, County, Virginia.

They were the parents of four children, and according to old family stories, two of their sons, Washington and his brother Pleasant never got along. They fought continuously until their frustrated parents finally decided to separate the two. After much consideration Washington was sent to medical school and his brother Pleasant to law school!

Disagrees with computer recycling program process

Kerry Grant writes:
Mr. Sinclair, Sending electronics to China for scrap dollars and cannibalizing of parts is not advantageous! The proliferation of counterfeit electronics damages our economy and costs American jobs. Lastly, it poses a severe risk to our national security and the reliability of our weapons systems being fielded to our war-fighters.

The Department of Defense continues to spend millions of dollars and a myriad of resources to monitor international and U.S. distributors - and I can tell you firsthand that the proliferation of counterfeit electronics is epidemic. Before you or Columbia sends more computers to China please ask yourself if our men and women serving in uniform are worth the risk. They deserve better!

Very Respectfully,

Kerry Grant
