The Homeplace Corn Program Heirloom varieties celebrate the past and prepare for the future By Billy Joe Fudge President, Homeplace on Green River, Inc. A great many things are happening at Homeplace on Green River. Among them is our Heritage, Open Pollinated, non-GMO, Corn Program. Many people ask why we are beginning this program and the answer is not very complicated. Last year and continuing this year, the world, including us here in the United States have seen shortages of many products, particularly many food items. These shortages have been a result of supply chain issues in producing, processing and distributing many of the meats and vegetables we eat and products we use. We here at Homeplace, as do many of you, know how to be better prepared the next time a major catastrophe threatens our very existence. Our subsistence farmers, forefathers, and communities had it figured out in ten words; "grow what you can, process it and preserve it locally"! Today we have strayed dangerously far away from that simple admonition. In fact there are major impediments to doing so and that leads us back to our Homeplace Corn Program.

Monoclonal antibody treatment shortage By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Frankfort, KY - Today, Gov. Andy Beshear said the federal government announced a change in the way COVID-19 monoclonal antibody treatments will be distributed among states due to supply shortages and extraordinary demand across the country. Health care providers will no longer be able to order the treatments directly; instead, state governments will supervise the distribution of a capped number of treatments delivered to them each week. "I have a concern that some Kentuckians who are hesitant about the vaccine are placing faith in monoclonal antibodies. What this shortage ought to tell you is that if you're unvaccinated and you get really sick, not only might there not be a bed in the hospital for you because they are so full, but that monoclonal antibody treatment might not be there for you either," said Gov. Beshear. "That thing you're counting on might not be available. What is available, and there are no supply issues at all, are these safe and effective vaccines."

Looking for information on Brawner-Smith Cemetery, families By Genna Vinson Twomey This is my family. I've been doing research on ancestry.com for many years. This is where I got this information. I'm hoping to get any information on this family in Columbia and trace any remaining descendants. John Brawner and his wife were one of the nine original founders of the Columbia Baptist Church. There is a stained glass window with their names and the dedication date (1927) on it in the church. I believe they are also buried at the Brawner-Smith Cemetery. No stones have been found for them. I have been to the Brawner Smith Cemetery off Pelly Lane. My cousins Larry & Elanor Brawner from Elizabethtown took me there about 2014. They saw the cemetery last Spring (2021) and the stones were in the ground. They said it looked like cattle had knocked over the graves. Can someone tell me if the stones are still there? I'm also interested in any information on John Brawner (1763-1843) & his wife, Ann Speake Brawner's (1765-1852) family and their descendants including any remaining houses, barns, etc., possibly on Pelly Lane and LIberty Road Ky 206.
