Middle School student Darius Groves colors illuminated letter 2017-01-11 - Campbllsville Middle School, 315 Roberts Road, Campbellsville, KY - Photo by Calen McKinney, Public Information Officer, Campbellsville Independent Schools (CIS). Campbellsville Middle School seventh-grader Darious Groves colors his illuminated letter, which was drawn as a football field. CMS students are learning to draw illuminated letters. In Jo Ann Harris's art class, students are studying how books were written in medieval times. When books were handwritten, the first letter of a page was often drawn much larger than the other letters and decorated with lots of color.Some letters were illuminated with gold leaf, which Harris said made the pages of a book look beautiful. A more modern version of illuminated letters depicts letters with bright colors and intricate designs. Harris's students were asked to draw an illuminated letter, choosing one of their initials, and to decorate it in a way that tells her something about the artist. - Calen McKinney Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Terry Hadley (7): The Great Compromiser 2017-01-11 - Adair Annex, 424 Public Square, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, Columbiamagazine.com(c) . Terry Hadley (7), may not take fellow Kentuckian Henry Clay's mantle of being the Great Compromiser completely, but he did come up with a compromise solution to the problem of keeping the Adair County Regional Jail in compliance with Kentucky Department of Corrections regulations, which passed by a vote of 7-1 in last night's session of Adair County Fiscal Court, with Magistrate Daryl Flatt (2) the only opposing vote. Mr. Hadley's solution was to allow Adair County Jailer Joey White to expand full time employees to 23 - from 21 now authorized - with a followup by the Adair County Budget Committee to examine the feasibility of having full time employees work 40 hours instead of the present 36. Mr. White says that his plan saves the county money, essentially because it, with 23 employees, lowers overtime, especially in instances when it is necessary to make unexpected transports of inmates for medical, change of location for inmates, even delivery of babies by a jail inmate.
