You can help ACES video win national recognition

By Phyllis Curry

The ACES StoryMaker video, "Thankful for our Veterans," is competing for recognition on the national level, and the winner will be decided by public vote.

The deadline says November 8, but that deadline has been extended. Readers do not have to view all the videos unless they choose to do so. The ACES video can be viewed by scrolling down to number 26, I think it is. The title is "Thankful for Our Veterans," and the creators are Natalie Bardin and Gabby Kemp.

Reminisces of an October day: a visit out Bottom Road

Brisk weather brings to mind a last trip to the old family homestead for Jim and his mother.

By Jim

For some reason the old farm out Bottom Road not far removed from Russell Springs, the place where I spent the first seven and half years of my life, lingers in my mind this brisk December day.

The farm -- two hill sides with a creek slapped down the middle, as my father well described it -- encompassed only fifteen or sixteen acres, but to little kid me, the copse of woods along the winding waterway comprised a forest primeval, filled with fearsome ninja squirrels and marauding terrapins, and the slow-moving brook seemed as wide as a mighty river.

Most vividly this cold morning, I recall waking the perimeter of that old place for the last time in the early 1990s, exact year now forgotten.

Farmers sing in A Kentucky Proud Christmas video

By Sean Southard

The new Kentucky Proud video features people singing snippets of "Jingle Bells" while doing farm chores. The singers all have obvious singing chops, but they also happen to be Kentucky farmers.

"We are thrilled with the video," Agriculture Commissioner Ryan Quarles said. "This was a great opportunity to showcase Kentucky farmers, promote Kentucky Proud products, and have a little fun in the process. The singers approached their parts with great enthusiasm, and they all did a wonderful job."
