Letter: I believe God goes before us

(Written by a Christian servant leader, a parent of adult children and business owner from Adair County who has recently lost a longtime spouse and is searching for the way forward. Name withheld on file by request.)

A recurring theme for me throughout the last several years has been "How God goes before me and prepares the way." A Promise - and He is always true to His word!

Though many times our steps falter as we struggle to make our way up hills of uncertainty and through valleys of grief and disappointment, we always know God sees the entire journey.

Bigfoot sighting in Uniontown Trailer Park
By Dixie Normans & J.R. Brower (edited)

Fayette County, PA, has been no stranger to Bigfoot sightings throughout the years. From the rolling hills of Dunbar, to the dense forests of Smithfield, Bigfoot sightings continue to occur in our backyards. Unfortunately, no one has been able to capture irrefutable photographic proof of the mythical creature, until now. Wendell Swink and his "old lady" Tammy, of Holiday Mobile Park, were in for the surprise of their lives early Sunday morning when a Sheetz run turned into a face to face encounter with Sasquatch himself.

Wendell describes: "We was just partying and we got a little hungry. Tammy say she had a few bucks left on her card so I was like let's go up Sheetzes. We went up through the woods you know, so the police didn't get us, when we seen right there a humongous hairy ape looking thing just looking at us. He didn't move or nothing. Just stood there looking he did. Then he give Tammy a black eye. We started running back to the park and I just turned around and took a picture with my phone."

Local skeptic Julie Martinez from Fayette Friends of Animals claims that the objects in the picture are nothing more than trees that appeared to be Sasquatches due to the couple being under the influedence of meth. Tammy declined comment, however she was treated at the Uniontown Hospital Emergency room for blunt force trauma to her left eye, apparently the victim of a Sasquatch attack.

Wildfires still a concern during wet weather conditions

By John Mura/Robin Hartman

Frankfort, KY - Despite one of the wettest winters on record, Kentucky's forest fire hazard season has begun, and forestry personnel hope it will 'spark' a renewed sense of vigilance among Kentucky residents.

"Even with the heavy precipitation this winter, dead grass, leaves and twigs can dry out quickly and act as fuel for fire," said James Wright, director of the Division of Forestry. "It is very important that people do not develop a false confidence during wet conditions."

Kentucky law designates Feb. 15 through April 30 as spring forest fire hazard season. During this time, it is illegal to burn anything within 150 feet of any woodland or brush land between the hours of 6am and 6pm.

Where local laws allow, burning is permitted from 6pm to 6am, as winds and humidity are generally lower. However, no one should burn unless the air is calm and there is adequate moisture in the air to prevent the spread of fire.

Taking the Culture Shock Workshop on the Road

By Sabine Eastham

The International Student Programs took their "Culture Shock" Workshop on the road and presented it to the Intercultural Communication Class at LWC. Students learned about the different stages of "Culture Shock" and what one can do to overcome it Watching a brief video about the "Iceberg Model" helped students understand that we cannot judge a new culture based only on what we see when we first enter it. We must take the time to get to know individuals from that culture and interact with them. We need to change the lenses of our cultural glasses, and then we can benefit from Diversity.

Students in the "Intercultural Communication Class" applied the Basics of Interpersonal Communication (Engagement, Activity and Management) during the fun exercise of" Brain Dating". An activity in which students were encouraged to meet and mingle with one another in under 5 minutes before moving on to mingle with a different person.
