Richard Hovious: Kentucky featured favorably on Madrid Tv Spanish Tv shows Commonwealth as incredibly beautiful and very prosperous with a low employment - lots of horses and jobs. Richard Hovious writes: Ed. Thought you might be interested in a TV "happening" here in Madrid, Spain, this week. The local TV station has a very popular weekly show entitled "Madrilanas en la Mundo\" They visit Madrid natives who have migrated to such places as Singapore, Calcutta,Moscow etc. This week, to my surprise, they visited KENTUCKY! A great show, very good tour of the state, showed Kentucky as incredibly beautiful and VERY prosperous. low unemployment LOTS of horses and jobs etc. Stand by. . . Spain has a 26% unemployment rate! --Richard HoviousThanks, Richard Hovious. Maybe you'll find a link for a replay on the internet. Wonderful to find outside Tv is portraying Kentucky as it really is. - ED 2013-03-17 10:59:33 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
Adair Rocks: A Feeling of Exhilaration, a Sense of Awe. Adair County Rocks, and these rocks were made right here in good old Adair County, center of the universe! - MIKE WATSON The next earlier Adair Rocks: Adair Rocks: Why I love Adair County by Ted Caldwell By Mike Watson Adair County Historian The light of my first day was not in Adair County, but it should have been; there wasn't a hospital here then, it was soon to come. Of course I don't recall the ride from Rosary Hospital to our home, out beyond Fairplay, but certainly some imprint of it must have been left upon me. When I drive into Columbia today, the most exhilarating sight I behold, no matter the direction from which I come, is the sight of that grand old Courthouse standing sentinel in the midst of town; seemingly built of iron or steel, ever vigilant, beckoning.

Happy Tail: Things happen for a reason - Allie & Monty Newly orphaned by their humans, two Wire Haired Terriers showed up at Sugarfoot Farm Rescue. It could be marked up to coincidence, but Peg Schaeffer believes otherwise, that Fate was involved, that things happen for a reason, when the Wire Haired Terriers turned out to be Just What the Doctor Ordered. Click on headline for full story Next previous Happy Tail: Happy Tails - Kids and Dogs By Peg Schaeffer I've said it before and I'll say it again - things happen for a reason.

Praise for KTC, District 8 traffic change with Flashing Yellow Arrow light Traffic Critiques from some Great Thinkers District 8, Kentucky Highway Department, Somerset, KY, is getting high praise, so far, for the Flashing Yellow light installed this past week at the intersection of Jamestown Street and Russell Road in Columbia, KY. Early critiques are very positive. Roger Smith, DMD, an early and vocal critic of the design and the old system, likes the changes - and not just because they are basically his ideas. He said that he has not seen any traffic tie ups since the new system, which allows left turns without a stop on flashing yellow, was installed.

Carol Perkins: Legacies of Tim Best, Anna Beth Branstetter Carol Perkins pays tribute to two irreplaceable figures, Tim Best and Mary Beth Branstetter, who passed from the scene in such a short time - 38 days apart - whose lives endow Metcalfe County with never-to-be-forgotten models of community leadership Related: Timothy Milton Best, Glasgow, KY (d. Jan. 25, 2013). And Anna Beth Branstetter, Metcalfe Co., KY (1976-2013) The next earlier Carol Perkins column: Carol Perkins: Fighting words By Carol Perkins I seldom write about specific people who have recently passed away because every person's death is special to family, friends, and their community, so to single out one or two seems a little selfish, but I am going to make an exception this week. The two people about whom I write either lived and worked or worked in Glasgow/Barren County and Metcalfe County. Most of you will know them or their families.

This column first appeared 16 March 2008.
