Who needs google when you have Jennell? By Tiffany Stephens Hi! My grandma recently purchased a laptop to "google" things. I wondered why, because she knows how to do everything. I mean, I call her if I need to know anything. So that made me giggle. Come to find out, she mostly just gets on Columbia Magazine to see all the local news and obituaries. Numerous times a day. After Easter, she asked me to come look her laptop, showing me all the pictures everyone had posted, and kept saying, "See all these? How do I get Jesus on there?". I was so confused. Then she continued to point out her crocheted Jesus! (Told you she could do anything!) Her name is Jennell Burton. She worked at the jewelry counter at K-Mart in Russell Springs for many many years, of course, until it closed. She absolutely loved meeting new people all the time, and I'm sure many remember her. If you don't, you're truly missing out. She definitely keeps herself busy now, and wanted to share her work she had been doing! Maybe I'll learn to crochet one day soon, I sure won't have to google a "how to". Haha 2021-04-12 21:06:20 | Comments | Printable version

Governor announces 2.5M vaccination challenge When goal is met, capacity restrictions and physical distancing requirements for nearly all venues, events and businesses that cater to 1,000 or fewer patrons will be lifted By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Frankfort, KY - On Monday, Gov. Andy Beshear announced the Team Kentucky Vaccination Challenge: When 2.5 million Kentuckians have received at least their first dose of a COVID-19 vaccine, the state will remove most capacity restrictions. When the goal is met, the Governor said he will lift capacity restrictions and physical distancing requirements for nearly all venues, events and businesses that cater to 1,000 or fewer patrons. In addition, he will end the curfew for bars and restaurants. "The question is, how quickly can we get there? With the vaccine supply we have, we could get there in as little as three-and-a-half weeks from now. That minimum time frame might not be realistic, but we should get there in four to six weeks if we are intentional," said Gov. Beshear. "We have to try everything to reach this point as quickly as possible. That will help us have a more normal summer than any of us could have imagined this winter."

Andy Beshear and the Department of Criminal Justice Training (DOCJT) are recognizing dispatchers who daily answer the call to provide assistance and assurance to citizens of the commonwealth.

It is doubtless correct: "My father, Archibald Wheeler, cut two trees, a black oak and a poplar where the courthouse in Columbia now stands. They were the first trees cut in Adair County*, and out of one of them he caught seven 'coons. The same night his dogs treed a bear on Pettit's Fork, which was shot and killed by old man Billy Hurt." He further stated, "my father died in 1864 at the advanced age of 98 years. At the time of his death he was the oldest Mason in Adair County."This Interesting Old Story appeared in the Adair County News, issue of 13 April 1921, page 5. 2021-04-12 06:52:17 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Mike Watson - History

Gower leads CU Quality Enhancement Plan By Scarlett Birge, student news writer Office of University Communications Campbellsville, KY - "Diversity and inclusion have a role in what we engage with in our reading," said Dr. Nathan Gower, associate professor of English, during Campbellsville University's recent Quality Enhancement Plan (QEP) over Zoom. "I'm not sure that we can say it's morally imperative that you read inclusively," he said. "But I think it is safe to say that in certain contexts it's ethically the right thing to do." Creative literature forces people to consider other perspectives, he said. When reading works from marginalized groups, the audience is forced to reckon with the unique individual identity being presented.
