Agrees with Carol Perkins on movies Mary Ann Brown writes: I have to agree with Carol Perkins! Not all of us are sports fans and some could actually care less about any sports, that is me. But to sit down. watch a good movie from beginning to end - now you're talking. That is my favorite thing to do, especially Christmas/holiday movies, I can watch them anytime, over and over, yes Christmas is my favorite time of the year. To follow the yellow brick road, To Kill a Mockingbird watch them every chance, then thrillers like Hannibal, Steven King movies getting me on the edge of my seat . . . these are my moments that bring me peace/happiness/quality of quiet time for me. Glad to know there are others like me! I guess to sum it all up for about 90 to 120 minutes one can think about little else but the movies. - Mary Ann BrownComments re article 65903 Carol Perkins comments on Movies and the Oscars 2014-03-09 15:12:29 | Comments | Printable version
Kathy Tucker: Life after the Knifley Pipeline Explosion They were living a normal, good life. . . The morning and day after, the pipeline people were everywhere, offering help of all kind. The feeling of community changed as negotiations continued for compensation for the incomprehensible nightmare her family had suffered. Just two weeks after the incident, the mood became adverserial. On Feb. 28, 2014, her chronicle entry changed: 'A new emotion comes into play---ANGER. . . We met with two pipeline representatives. They made us a monetary offer for our loss and inconvenience.' Still later she writes, 'It is not our fault our property is damaged, we are living with our son, we can't sleep, we can't concentrate, we jump every time we hear a loud noise, hide our eyes when we see a bright light/sunset or that our life has been changed forever. We were living our normal life, when Columbia Gulf took it away from us. Their offer (for compensation) was so low it was like being slapped in the face.' Kathy Tucker writes. Now, she says. Now she says, 'It looks like our only choice is to hire a lawyer and pursue a law suit. That is not what we wanted.' By Kathy Tucker Feb. 12, 2014 My husband, Bradley, and I are living a normal life. We have been married for over 39 years: own our own home and some land: have a little money put back and looking forward to retirement within the next 4-5 years. Our son is grown and married and has a son of his own. We go to work every day, come home, spend time with our family, mind our own business, get up the next morning and go to work again. Not a real exciting life, but one we are happy with. Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2014-03-09 11:04:45 | Comments | Printable version
Carol Perkins comments on Movies and the Oscars 'Some of us are celebrity watchers and movie goers while others think we are silly for doing so. Some of us who don't follow college basketball and football think those who do go a little overboard at times. Some feel reading books is a waste of time, while others find hunting and fishing boring. The truth is we all need an outlet and for me, it is going to the movies.' - CAROL PERKINS Next previous column: Carol Perkins: Good Hair Day Posted March 2, 2014. By Carol Perkins Watching the Oscars Sunday night, waiting for the ice/snow storm that was to begin any moment, I thought about how many years I had been a part of an Oscar evening. Certainly not eighty six of them, but probably at least fifty five. So many of the "old" clips were movies I cherished growing up and still watch on occasion. Going to the movies is among my favorite things to do, but there are only a few I ever want to see a second time.

Tom Chaney: The Angels' Share Of Writers And Their Books: The Angels' Share. Tom notes that Far Appalachia is a kaleidoscope of music, storytellers, white water adventure, and history lesson. This column first appeared 8 March 2009. The next earlier Tom Chaney column: "A Project So Preposterous and So Sublime" By Tom Chaney The Angels' Share If you have been following these little pieces for awhile, you know there is no system to my reading. I always have two or three books going at once. And I don't know which I'll pick up next. My life has the tattered billboard as a philosophical thread. This week's pick is such a choice. I've been reading about storytellers. Thought me, I'll write about storytelling this time. Then my eye fell on a book by Noah Adams. It is called Far Appalachia: Following the New River North [Delacorte Press, 2001].

Happy Tail - Why do I do this? Despite the fact that I sometimes wonder why I do this it's the happy endings that keep me going. It's the dogs that have been abandoned that are given a second chance at a furever homes that remind me - I don't do it for me - I do it for the dogs. The next earlier Column: Happy Tail: Gertie - 'Aggressive, No Small Children' Indeed!> Posted March 2, 2014. By Peg Schaeffer Sugarfoot Farm Rescue Friday morning I got up to snow all over the kitchen. It wasn't actually snow - the dogs got into a box of Kleenex and shredded them all over the place. I picked up the mess and went into the bathroom. I guess they were really bored because they did the same thing to the toilet paper. It was everywhere. I picked that up. I went outside to feed the horses. The gate hadn't been latched properly and a bunch of the dogs decided to help me feed, except their idea of help is to chase the horses all over the pasture. I'd chase them from one group of horses and they'd go chase some others. I spent most of the time feeding yelling at them. Our ponies are at the bottom of the hill. With the snow melting it made the hill very slippery. So slippery, in fact, that I slid the whole way down. After feeding the ponies I had to climb back up it. Not an easy feat. After that fiasco I went back to the house.

Query: Wants more information about Winfrey family Stephanie Winfrey Mason writes: In doing research on my family (Winfrey), I found a reference to an article in a Columbia, KY, newspaper that said the Winfrey family was one of the earliest Kentucky families. I found your website and the article on the cemetery tour that included Fanny Winfrey. I know that the Winfrey's were in Kentucky in the early 1800s before moving into Arkansas in the 1830s. Do you have any info on the Winfrey's that you could refer me to. I was happy to see my family was a pioneer Kentucky family. William Winfrey was my ancestor who moved from Kentucky to Arkansas. He was a blacksmith. I am the 6th generation to live in Arkansas.
