Wilkerson is 2024 KY Elementary School Teacher of the Year By Crystal Sicard Republished with permission from Kentucky Teacher kentuckyteacher.org Donnie Wilkerson believes that as a teacher, his purpose is much greater than just going through the educational curriculum with students. He tells his students to, "Be kind, think freely and inquire often. If you think about it, that's all you need to know." Those words are on a poster hanging inside Wilkerson's elementary classroom at Jamestown Elementary School in Russell County. He hopes his students will remember them for the rest of their lives. "I've always characterized my students as my grandkids," he said. "They're family and so many of them need that, more than anything else." Wilkerson's care for his students earned him the title of 2024 Kentucky Elementary School Teacher of the Year. He received the award at a ceremony on Sept. 13 at the Kentucky state Capitol building in Frankfort.

Kentucky Color: Grissom's Rolling Store By Billy Joe Fudge Recently, while visiting with my friend Mike Watson, I asked if he remembered Grissom's Rolling Store. After his reply of, "no, what was that?", I lit in to telling him about it! As an only child, I was simultaneously raised by two sets of parents. My Pa Fudge had a stroke when I was about three years old. Although he was not incapacitated, he was not able to do any work of consequence and needed much assistance that Ma could not provide. Since I was starting school and Momma was beginning public work in Columbia, Dad and Pa sold the farm between England Branch and Leatherwood Creek and Dad bought a farm on Harvey's Ridge. The move cut the time and distance to Columbia in half for Momma's commute and got this new Breeding School student off the end of a, depending upon the weather, dirt or mud road. This new farm had a big house instead of two little houses and Pa and Ma moved in with us, which was the plan going in. Therefore, that is how this poor, only child ended up being raised by two sets of parents. I was a young'un with his Dad farming in the summer trying to pay for the farm and his Mom working at the Circle R and Lyon Uniform during the week and often at Coomer's Cafe on Saturdays to buy the things we needed that the farm would not provide. Therefore, in those formative years of 5, 6, 7 and 8, I spent a lot of time "helping my Ma and Pa" which leads me to Grissom's Rolling Store.

Moving toward equinox, hoping for a mild autunm "...As the calendar moves us toward the equinox I hope for a mild and prolonged autumn; mellow days in which to prune, weed, reorganize perennial plantings; days of gentle rain when a fire in the woodstove is welcome and the smell of simmering soup and baking bread foretells shortened days and crisp clear nights..." By Sharon Whitehurst I have spent nearly an hour this evening trolling through journal posts from past Septembers. Nothing much changes. There are slight variations in the weather from year to year -- drought or rain -- lingering heat or a sudden downturn in temperatures. There is a tallying of the garden, the crops that have flourished, those that have been disappointing.
