Randy Lee Harris, 58, Russell County, KY (1962-2021)

Randy Lee Harris, 58, of Russell Springs, KY passed away peacefully in his sleep on the morning of June 18, 2021. He loved being Dad and Pop to his children and grandchildren more than any other job in the world. The pride he showed for all of them is something that can never be matched. He had many years of practice as Uncle Randy before his greatest role as Dad and cherished that job deeply as well.

He was genuine, kind, and the best father anyone could ask for. He found purpose in warming the hearts of anyone he talked to and a piece of him lives on through all of us. Randy meant more than words could ever describe. His family will continue his legacy by living their best lives and staying true to his famous words: "Nothin' to it, but to do it."

Letter: Marshmallows and a live trap for raccoons

Lacy Grant writes:
I just wanna say if Donna wants to get rid of a raccoon (like the one that's posted on Columbia Magazine) she can get a live trap and place marshmallows in the trap, and she can catch it...

Letter: Migrant local birds

Marie Freeman writes:
I've noticed the bird population really decreased in the woods surrounding me. First year in a decade I've not had a house-wren nest, nor hear its song. Have other readers been experiencing any changes?

Spicy news bits from June 1931

By JIM

As spring segued into summer in 1931, the US economy continued to languish. Herbert Hoover was in the third year of his presidency and Flem Sampson in his fourth and final year as governor of Kentucky.

But meanwhile, back in The Shire:

Several "spicy bits" graced The News in addition to the usual parade of birthings, buryings, removals, and political posturing. (The primary election, held in early August, loomed large for the candidates.)

The doctors of Columbia had received adequate supplies of typhoid vaccine to inoculate all who so wanted; the injection would be free to those who couldn't afford to pay.

Phillip Coffey: Fathers Day - Outreaching

By Phillip Coffey
Sweet potato vines overnight you have been long extended
Among the nights’ secretive, breeze-guided emotions
Have you been outreaching - hidden beauty not seen
By we God-fearing creatures - not yet fully completed?

Is it true, eyes have not seen or ears yet heard
What is in store for each of us that truly believe?
Released from our mortal bodies to the chosen blessed
Transported to the others held - that have long been missed
