Stivers Reporters: Talisha England, Vonnie Kolbenschlag, Richard Phelps, and Linda Waggener Thought for the Month: The main quality of leadership is courage! If you dream it, you can do it! Congratulations! The Chamber of Commerce would like to on becoming the first Firewise Communities in Kentucky. The communities consist of Knifley, Pellyton, and Roley. We congratulations you on this honor of being the first....And all the hard work you put forth in making this possible. The chamber is proud of you! Tim Smith, art professor at Lindsey Wilson College, is well underway developing the sculpture of the First Kentucky Cavalry being led by Col. Frank Wolford. Community members are welcome to stop by the studio in the basement of Lindsey Wilson Colleges Slider Humanities Building to view the process and ask questions of the artist. You may call Tim Smith at 384-8079 to make sure he is at the studio at a time you wish to visit. Historian Kent Masterson Brown, author of The Civil War in Kentucky, writes, I am so thrilled that a memorial is being erected to the memory of Col. Frank Wolford and his first Kentucky Cavalry. Wolford is one of the most extraordinary people in Kentucky history. Few know of him today, but all Kentuckians should be reacquainted with his story. Congratulations to all the prideful folks in Adair County for your wonderful efforts. The sculpture, to be placed in the Columbia city Cemetery, is funded with a grant from the Kentucky Arts Council and individuals and organizations of our county.
