Mark Hale: An elevated catwalk for the courthouse Says that's his 2 cents worth. That and Bring back the whittlers See also: "Save the Courthouse Tour: Better Pedestrian approaches a must" photo by Linda Waggener By Mark Hale, Village of Hard Scratch, KY correspondent It would be pretty neat to have an elevated catwalk or breezeway go from the anex 2nd floor to the balcony on the north side of the courthouse. An entrance could be put in there and that would fix the pedestrian issue as well as make for an attractive addition to the square It could be made well above the clearance requirements for traffic and be safe for the walkers as well. Since everyone is thinking of stuff to do thats my 2 cents worth: A $250,000 catwalk. Also, I would like to see the old timers be allowed to come back and whittle on a cedar stick on the door step again. It seems anymore our way of thinking is what can we keep someone from doing instead of we want our free country back. This would be a good place to start, let them whittle!!! Thanks, -Mark Thanks, Mark. Maybe we could get a few of the dangerous radical old farts whittler activists to stage a Whittle In. It would be fitting to hold it on John Shelley's, (the poet who wrote "The Whittlers") 'birthday. The Genealogy Society could raise money selling the color print of the old courthouse which the late James and Emma Woody originally had printed. It would draw national, possibly even WBKO 13 Tv coverage. Byron Crawford would surely come. And busloads of Canadian tourists would be on hand to witness history in the making when a handful of O.F. activists gallntly bring back memories of the Sixties Civil Disobediance era. I personally qualify and volunteer. This might become a movie bigger than Inherit the Wind. PS: Does anybody know where copies of "The Whittlers," are available now? -EW This story was posted on 2009-08-04 03:39:07
