Daily News for Sunday, August 28, 2016
Blake Kennedy Aaron remembers his father Dr. Phil Aaron Blake Kennedy Aaron spoke eloquently about Dr. Phil Aaron as a parent. He said, "My father was a public servant above all else, dedicating his time and love. He had so much compassion. Nearly every morning you'd find him at the funeral home for patients, might not have been his, might not have known them. You could reach him at night on his personal cell phone, he'd give it out to anyone who asked. "He was part of many events and fundraisers, too many to count really. And if you were lucky, you'd see him at your own family reunion. He was a Christian who rededicated his life to the Lord.

Frank Dickerson: Barnetts Creek water pure, so cold it made teeth ache Frank Dickerson writes: For those of us who attended country schools, 'tiz a thousand wonders that more of us did not contract Polio! Thanks to the hardiness of our constitutions, perhaps. I will never forget the brackish water from the well at Knifley High. Urp! On the other hand, the water from the well at Barnett's Creek School was so pure and so cold that it made the teeth ache. It served not only the school but close neighbors as well. Lucky us!

Ol' Dave: Hardships at Breeding nothing compared to Yellowhammer Some people don't realize how good they had it. Breedingtonians actually luxiarated vis-a-vis beyond Spartan accomodations for scholars at Yellowhammer School, near Fairplay Click on headline for complete lament By Dave Rosenbaum To contrast the relative luxury of the folks at Breeding Elementary, Yellow Hammer had none of the amenities listed by Mr. Fudge; in addition we had no electricity and our water came from a spring nearly half mile from the school. There was a girls outhouse behind the school, but the old boys outhouse had been pushed over in anticipation that the School Board would construct a new one; but alas, the boys had to hit the cold, snowy hillside in front of the school. Calling the conditions Spartan really doesn't do it justice. At least one time, during a gospel meeting at Pierces Chapel Baptist Church, the church had services at 10:00 AM as well as a nightly service. Since it would have been unseemly to be conducting school while church was in progress about 50 yards up the road, the school was dismissed and the kids ushered to the service. School resumed when the meeting ceased for the day. Just the thought of such would give the ACLU a bad case of the vapors. I don't know if attending the services helped any of the students but it certainly didn't hurt them. --Dave Rosenbaum Comments re article 85298 Kentucky Color Drinking water protocols Breeding Grade School 2016-08-28 12:22:05 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Local History

Dr. Phil Aaron Eulogy by Linda Waggener This followed, the last of three Eulogies by longtime friends, United States Senator Mitch McConnell, Senate Majority Leader, and Dr. Chuck Giles. Eulogy for Dr. Phil R. Aaron by Linda Waggener Phil Aaron would have loved seeing all your faces here today in the Columbia Baptist Church.

Power outage reported following Storm of 27 Aug 2016 Outages affect dairy output Fred Rowe of Rowe Farms reports that even with the tree damage on Keltner Road, the cows at Rowe Farms continued outstanding production, he wrote in answer to a question about how storms might traumatize his otherwise contented herd and cause a dip in production. Less milk would be produced, he wrote, "Only if the power is out and messes up their schedule. Russell Guy says since our 'lectric comes from Garlin, we didn't have any problems. But Doug Cowan's, the next farm north, comes from Cane Valley and was down." 2016-08-28 06:49:52 | Comments | Printable version

Kentucky Color: Drinking water protocols, Breeding Grade School Drinking water - when it comes from a faucet it is taken for granted - when it tastes good. But back in the late 1950s, Breeding School had no running water - it came from a well. Click on headline for complete story from those wonderful days, and photo of a memento - a collapsible tin cup - from those days By Billy Joe Fudge I went to school at Breeding Grade School between the years of 1957 and 1961. There was no running water, no indoor bathrooms, no air conditioning, no computers, no cell phones, no lunchroom, no gymnasium, no detention, no time-out, no uniformed guard, no asphalt, no drink machines, no parents picking up children except to cut tobacco, etc. Yes, we did have electricity, I think?
