Rivermen of the Cumberland Chapter 2

By Chris Bennett

Chapter 2: "Planning"

Planning a 500+ mile river trip would not be an easy task. I knew there would be very limited access to fuel, drinking water, food, and spare parts. There would almost certainly be severe thunderstorms, with no shelter.

I would have little to no cell phone service for most of the trip. I also needed maps, navigational charts, and information on going through the locks at each dam. I needed some one to take me to the water to start the trip, and to pick me up, hopefully in western Kentucky when I finished. I also would need some crazy person to accompany me on this trip of a lifetime.

The Kentucky Department for Public Health (DPH) officials are assembling resources and personnel in preparation to assist areas hit the hardest if Hurricane Gustav makes landfall as predicted early next week.

"Kentucky public health stands willing and able to provide assistance to those areas affected by the storm," said William D. Hacker, M.D., commissioner for public health. "We are actively assembling teams of state and local public health staff that could deploy to affected regions to help address critical health issues, such as food and water safety. In addition, we are preparing for the potential arrival of evacuees in Kentucky."

Tom Chaney review #173 August 31, 2008:
A Father's Law

Of writers and their books. Book review by Tom Chaney of A Father's Law by Richard Wright

Does the Cut Worm Forgive the Plow?

White is not Black. Black is not White. All color? No color? We can neither know ourselves nor those most like us. How then can we be sure of our knowledge of another's racial heritage?

Fiction at its best provides a tentative beginning to that knowledge. The images are not always clear. They flicker on the wall of a cave like shadows produced by a searing flame apt to blind if seen boldly.
