Better signage needed to keep large trucks off Greensburg ST By Maury Lewis Personal commentary There are a lot of 18 wheelers that come down Greensburg Street that must be lost, because they turn around in our church parking lot. This is not about the parking lot turn around. It is about not having signs on Greensburg Street to point them in the direction of of the bypass.

Old Coddger: Still no sign from Square to East 80 Old Coddger writes: New signage looks good, but there is still no sign to show "out of towners" that Hwy 80 East goes up Jamestown Hill. The only sign shows that Jamestown Street is Hwy 55 South. I guess the same feller, who ever that is, that designed the Greensburg Street X Veterans Bypass intersection picks where the signs go. - Old CoddgerComments re photo 61140 Signs of the times Better signage on the Square 2015-07-05 12:51:14 | Comments | Printable version

Melvin White and Rollin Hurt's caving adventure, 1870s (part 1) The first installment of a riveting story that Jim's been researching for some years now, about a spelunking adventure gone wrong in 1870's Adair County. By Jim "...they slept from complete exhaustion for several hours, and dreamed of home and mother." Some of the most gripping lines ever penned by Mark Twain, Adair County's world-famous "grandson of the Shire," appeared in his novel Tom Sawyer. These passages involve Tom and Miss Becky Thatcher (his petite amie du jour) and their harrowing experience in McDougal's Cave. A similar saga occurred in Adair County in the 1870s, about the time, possibly a few years before, Twain introduced Tom and Becky and their friends to the world in 1876. A brief description of the Adair County event appeared in the September 20, 1921 edition of the News, that telling of the tale setting the stage thus: Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2015-07-05 08:58:02 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Jim: History

Gov. Beshear cautiously optimistic about Aetna-Humana Merger Gov. Beshear's Statement on Humana-Aetna merger FRANKFORT, KY (July 3, 2015) - "In addition to the information contained in the news release, I have spoken to Bruce Broussard, CEO of Humana, this morning and Mark Bertolini, CEO of Aetna, earlier this week. Based upon all the information available, I am cautiously optimistic that this merger will be a net positive for Louisville and the Commonwealth. Both Humana and Aetna are progressive, innovative companies in the health care field, and that bodes well for the new entity because of the rapidly changing health care landscape. Mayor Fischer and I look forward to further conversations with both Mr. Broussard and Mr. Bertolini about the details of the transaction and the potential for the growth of jobs in Kentucky. Both of us are also pleased that the Humana Foundation will be separated out of the transaction and will remain in Louisville." - Gov.

Tom Chaney: The Lion of Whitehall Of Writers And Their Books: The Lion of Whitehall. Tom reports that Clay was a founder of Berea College; published an abolitionist paper; helped organize and train the militia which protected the national capital and his friend Lincoln; and served as Lincoln's ambassador to the court of the Czars in St. Petersburg. This column first appeared 1 May 2005. The next earlier Tom Chaney column: Trapped: Collins and Fancher By Tom Chaney The Lion of Whitehall Cassius Marcellus Clay has been a favorite Kentucky character of mine since I first heard the recording of William H. Townsend's The Lion of Whitehall in the late 1950's. Townsend's speech about the Kentucky abolitionist and President Abraham Lincoln's minister to Russia was given before the Civil War Round Table in Chicago in 1952. The speech is less a factual history than an impression of the personality of Clay; and is a fine example of old-fashioned Kentucky oratory Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2015-07-05 04:15:02 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Books Birthdays and Anniversaries for July 5 Happy Anniversary, Hunter and Kelly Jackson | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Anniversary, Stanley and Shirley Jones | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Aiden Michael Keene (2008) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Amanda Dartt | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Brandon Thompson (1994) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Corey Harmon (2005) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Derek Coomer | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Jackson Tucker Wall-Sinclair (2010) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Jason Corbin | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Kalia Bradshaw | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Kelly Branham | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Larry Benningfield | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, twins Lynn (Blackie) Nixon and the late Glynn (Red) Nixon | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Vickie Hill | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Vonda Derman | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Zachary Absher (2010) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Deborah (Debi) Price, Columbia, KY (1951-2019) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Iva Nell Sidebottom McDonald, Campbellsville, KY (1932-2019) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Mary Alice Rooks, Adair Co., KY (1925) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Ralph Carter , Columbia, KY (1929) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Christopher Wayne Underwood, Green Co., KY (1992) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Stella Louise Kean, Russell Springs, KY (1949) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Robert Gadberry (Bob) Gadberry, Adair Co., KY native (1942) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Gerald Mullins, Campbellsville, KY (1931-2012) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Mary Houk, Adair County, KY (1942-2013) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Mr. Danny Thomas Beams, Green Co., KY (1959-2013) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Alice Louise Stalcup, 87, Cumberland Co., KY (1926-2013) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Kody Pelly, 23, Adair County, KY (1990-2013) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Angela Patton Wethington, Casey County.
