Local Group Works in Atlanta at OCC Processing Center

By Mark Fudge

The Columbia Baptist Church recently organized a trip to the Operation Christmas Child Processing Center in Atlanta Georgia. Eleven individuals from three different churches made the journey to Atlanta to help process OCC shoebox gifts that have been prepared by individuals, churches and organizations all over the southeastern United States. After this group finished processing the boxes, the boxes were packed into cartons and are now ready to be distributed to children all around the world.

This was the first trip to the processing center for Columbia Baptist Church member Linda Jackson. She said, "It was an awesome experience. As I was looking in each box, I could only imagine the smile on the child's face and the love and joy they would feel when they opened it. It is a lot of work but a pleasure as well. I can't wait to go back next year."

Man who confessed to 90 murders was arrested in Louisville

By Cameron Knight, The Kentucky Enquirer

Samuel Little is 78. He's been in prison since 2012. Prior to that, he traveled the country for more than three decades murdering women. And he says he has killed in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky.

Little was arrested at a Louisville homeless shelter in 2012. He was extradited to California on drug charges, and once there his DNA was quickly matched to three unsolved homicides in the 1980s. He was sentenced to life in prison. He confessed to 90 murders, investigators said, many of which he remembers in great detail.

The FBI has confirmed 34 of Little's murders and continue to investigate the others

Betty's Country Cooking celebrating 30th Anniversary

Betty's Country Cooking, the landmark Columbia restaurant on North Hwy 55, will be celebrating its 30th Anniversary on Dec 5, 2018. The Ollestads and the Kesslers plan to mark the milestone with a week-long extravaganza of thirty-cent drink and dessert specials, visits from Santa Claus, gift card specials, and big-ticket giveaways, including a TV and tickets to a Tennessee Titans football game.

Betty began her restaurant career in 1977, working in management with Charlie and Fern Roy at Druthers, and later managing The Country Inn, when it was owned by the Fletcher family.

In 1988, Betty ventured out on her own, opening The Donut Shop, on Russell Road, with Rich (ex-husband and still best friend). Many people followed Betty from place to place, and, after a few years, the business moved to the old Harold's Steak House building on South 55 to become a full service restaurant.

In 1994, Betty purchased the building that had housed Giles Food Mart on Campbellsville Road, and it has been the home of Betty's Country Cooking ever since.

Volunteers needed in Russell Co to review foster cases

Kentucky Press News Service

Frankfort, KY - Citizen Foster Care Review Boards in 41 Kentucky counties, including Russell, are seeking volunteers to make a difference in the lives of local children in foster care and other out-of-home care, according to a state news release. The boards need volunteers to review cases of children placed in care because of dependency, neglect or abuse, to ensure they are placed in safe, permanent homes as quickly as possible.

Volunteers are not required to live in the counties in which they volunteer, but all volunteers must complete a six-hour initial training session, and consent to a criminal record and Central Registry check. A recommendation is then made to the chief judge of the District Court or Family Court for appointment.

Potential volunteers are encouraged to apply as soon as possible so they can be screened and, if approved, scheduled for training in their area. To get more information and apply to be a volunteer, visit the CFCRB web page on the Kentucky Court of Justice website at courts.ky.gov.

Carol Perkins: The things we do for our children

Previous column: Carol Perkins: My own personal Hallmark movie

By Carol Perkins

When Carla's family moved into a new house, the one thing missing was a fireplace (although she seldom used her former one she indicated she wished she had one). I remembered seeing a mantle in a relative's yard sale and called to see if she still had it. "Yes, and I'd love for you to come and get it!" She didn't have to say that twice!

What the mantle needed was something to go behind the opening where the fireplace would normally be, so I found the perfect solution. With a piece of plywood and some imagination, I could create a background with tile. As I was stewing over how much trouble and expense that would be, I devised a better plan. I went on the hunt for a piece of large foam board. Through a friend on social media, I found the right piece. (Regular craft stores don't sell pieces that large.) Then I ordered a roll of peel and stick wallpaper that looked just like bricks.

With the beautiful mantle and the marble hearth, the foam board, the roll of wallpaper, we headed to Chapel Hill, TN to set all this up while she and her husband were at work.

Preparing for Messiah-Sing

By Gerald Chafin

Most complete editions of MESSIAH are in the 250 pages range. In other words, the entire work is rather lengthy! Lord of the Rings fans loved it. (However, in case you're worried, Tuesday evening's performance draws largely from the Christmas section, about 50 minutes.)

Knowing the length of this masterwork allows us to appreciate the fact that Handel wrote MESSIAH in the space of about three weeks, between August 22 and September 14, 1741. The compositional process was an extremely intense experience. Handel rarely left his room and hardly ate during this time.

Therefore, let's consider the personal impact of MESSIAH on Handel as the composer. No one shares the story better than Patrick Kavanaugh in The Spiritual Lives of the Great Composers - from the view of an employee:
