Daily News for Tuesday, December 16, 2014
Vicky Pike finds $2.11 gas in Elizabethtown, KY Victoria Pike writes: Several places in Elizabethtown were at $2.11 per gallon on the main drag near the mall as we came through last night. We might see under $2 soon at this rate. I predict before the end of the year.Vicky, thanks: Good news.Maybe one day it will get down to what it was in the Gas Wars on Dixie Highway. While we were paying War Prices of 32-32 cents a gallon in Columbia, with only about 19 outlets in a mile of the courthouse, we could sometimes regular gas for 16-17 cents on Dixie Highway. That's what we need now; a gas war like those of the late 1950s. - EW 2014-12-16 19:12:11 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

Comment: CM Welcome Home Vietnam Veterans Parade coverage For context, see: CM story/album on Campbellsville for Vietnam Veterans Parade Donald Skaggs writes: I was very disappointed when I saw the picture on your website of the parade. You chose to highlight elected officials who, to my knowledge, are not veterans. The day was set aside to honor Vietnam veterans who were not given a welcome when they returned from serving their country. There were over a hundred Vietnam veterans in the parade. It would have been so much better if you had pictured several of these veterans instead of elected officials. From a disappointed Vietnam veteran and a daily reader of your magazine. -Donald SkaggsDonald Skaggs: Appreciate the comment. For the parade, we posted material as we received it, the first being the welcome home banner. Yes, we'd like to have more veterans photos beyond the great one of the Color Guard, but did post it prominently on the front page the day of the parade. The photo of the officials was the last, not the first we received. It was a way to thank the folks, especially Rep. Bam Carney, a very early organizer for their roles. If we receive more photos of veterans, we'll make every effort to post it. - EW 2014-12-16 08:54:08 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Veterans and Veterans Day
Cynthianan says his dog food can correct canine problems He couldn't speak a word of English when he arrived in Cincinnati in 1977. He now lives in Cynthiana, and has introduced a health food product for dogs, Canine Correct, which has earned the Kentucky Proud label and is receiving marketing support through the Kentucky Proud Program. Now this native of Israel is a farmer in Harrison County, KY, who says, 'I can't live in the city. You can take the boy out of a kibbutz, but you can't take a kibbutz out of the boy." Click on headline for story with photo By Chris Aldridge Kentucky Agriculture News CYNTHIANA, KY - When Avi Bear's 6-year-old border collie, Zigler, became sick four years ago, his homemade solution became the genesis of his Kentucky Proud dog food business. Avi's brother, Haim, suggested feeding Zigler a special dog food recipe he was making for his sensitive Goldendoodle, Daisy. A trained chef and bakery owner, Avi took the recipe, which was basically home-cooked chicken and rice, and modified it to make it more nutritionally balanced.

Christmas Classic: Christmas Eve, Leatherwood Creek by Jim Adair County Historian Mike Watson requested this CM Christmas Classic be posted Originally posted December 26, 2010. Written by Paul Revere, channeled through JIM. Ladies and gentlemen: This Christmas Eve story, replete with timeless Adair County characters and memories of the Village of Nell-upon-Leatherwood Creek, Adair Co., KY, circa 1869: Including Dr. Taylor, the Bell Bros., John and Joe; Joe Walkup and his bachelor brother Junius; the prince of good men, William L. Walker; Brud and Leroy Walker; Dallas Estes, John D. Kinnaird. A good time was had by all, too numerous to list, with 28 of the 27 present in 1869 getting drunk, according to Paul Revere, one of the celebrants. Today such goings on in Leatherwood rarely happen, as the contemporary community is nigh as righteous as Gradyville, (Nell's triplet city, along with Weed, KY) though it obviously would fall short of the sanctity standard in Jim's beloved homeland, Sacred Triangle of Sano, Esto, and Ono. -CM By "Jim" In 1898, Mr. Joseph (J.A.) Turner, a longtime resident of Metcalfe County, returned to his native Adair County for the space of a few months. For a number of years, his writing had appeared in the Edmonton and Glasgow newspapers under the cognomen Paul Revere. During that brief sojourn to the Auld Sod in1898, he continued dispensing, via the Adair County News, his own puckish brand of wit, wisdom, and humor, frequently (quite tongue in cheek) bemoaning his fate as the husband of the red-haired woman. Or, as he so eloquently poker-faced in another letter, "I finally found, wooed, and won the heart and hand of the red-haired woman, who has spared no pains in trying to elevate me to the same plane with herself." The following, excerpted from his letter published in the July 20, 1898 News, starts as a reverie about the Nell community but segues into an offbeat tale of his Christmas Eve adventures up Leatherwood Creek, circa 1869.
