AC Magistrate Daryl Flatt with Allison Ball, Asa Swan 2018-03-21 - Louisville, KY - Photo by Innocent Bystander. Adair County Second District Magistrate Daryl Flatt ran into some folks from back home, Kentucky State Treasurer Allison Ball, adopted by virtue of ties and by her marriage to to former Lindsey Wilson College professor, Asa Swan, who is now Chief of Staff in the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet. The photo was taken Friday, March 16, 2018, at the Magistrates and Commissioners Association. Allison Ball's ties to Lindsey Wilson are closer because of her choice of LWC graduate Lorran Ferguson as her Communications Director. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Defense Dog protects Russell County territory 2018-03-21 - Russell County, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. Mom - Mema - Geniece Leftwich Marcum, rides with us, though it's been a year since her passing. She was animal lover No. 1 in our lives. Hardly ever met a dog she didn't like, and she would have loved this one. Her first response would have been that he was in great need. That we should go back to Russell Springs and buy it one of the hamburgers she likes. Then she would have wondered if its owners had lost it, if we should call 9-1-1 - or pick it up. But we knew, looking into those stern eyes that the dog was just protecting its neighborhood, and doing a darn good job. We weren't about to contradict the dog in any way, and eased around past it's position, envious of its family. - EW/LW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Willis: Takes over the sidewalk 2018-03-21 - Sanders Ridge, Pellyton, KY - Photo by Sharon Whitehurst. "I weeded until I was along-side Willis and mildly tendered a suggestion that he move to another section of the walk so I could continue working. In response Willis rolled onto his back, then appeared to subside at the edge of the walk. I edged tentatively into the space beside him only to be smacked by a swift right hook. I sputtered indignantly; Willis glared through a slitted eye, then calmly resettled himself, blocking my way." - SHARON WHITEHURST Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
