Beverly Gnau: Lost buddy, lost tie to charity, 'We Care' Burkesville, KY A good friend's death is grieved and it also means a connection to the Burkesville, KY charity "We Care" is in jeopardy of being lost unless a bridge can be made. Help with a connection would be much appreciated. The "We Care" charity is a local Cumberland County fundraiser with monies only going to local families in need. Beverly Gnau writes: I've sent lots and lots of hats down to "We Care" by way of my buddy, Judy Willis Rush. Without her now, I need to know if Hazel still needs those crocheted hats? I've got several made up of the child hats and am working on some for ladies. Hazel will probably know me, and if not ask Jerri Rush. I went to church with Judy and Lyle Rush. Sure do miss Judy. - Beverly GnauThanks for the inquiry - "We Care", from all we've seen of it, is one we're happy to support. Can't give you the information immediately, but we make it a top priority to find your contact information, which may already be posted here on the site - and, as always, if we receive reliable information on your question, we'll post here as soon as possible. - Ed & Linda 2018-08-26 20:53:33 | Comments | Printable version

Mike Watson: When travel was harder, folks travelled no less History tells us that in long years past, friends and kin would strike out from Adair County for Missouri, Texas, and destinations more far-flung like Oregon, New Mexico and California, with the idea that they may never have the opportunity to walk the green fields of home again. Some did return, some only hoped to." - MIKE WATSON.

Rita King: Tips to aid travel from Liberty, KY to 'New Columbia' Wants better signs to get to New Columbia & Columbia Walmart, when driving from Liberty, KY, finding, as many do, that " . . . Columbia is so confusing to navigate." And would like information for put in/take out at Jamestown's Greasy Creek for kayaking.

Is there an election issue here? - EW Click on headline for complete commentary By Rita King I enjoy the photos of kayakers. I have taken up the sport myself to some extent.
