Two precincts vote moist in Russell Co., KY special election Two precincts vote Yes, Moist, but City of Jamestown votes No, to remain dry. By Ed Waggener Voters in the Jamestown and Lake Precincts voted to allow beer and wine sales in restaurants in the special election Tuesday, November 24, 2009. The vote in the Lake Precinct was: Yes, Moist, 242 votesThe vote in the Jamestown Precinct was: Yes, Moist, 227 votesThe vote in the City of Jamestown Precinct was: Yes, Moist, 243 votesA question remains on whether the portions of Lake Precinct and Jamestown Precinct which are also part of the City of Jamestown will be wet, since the precincts voted moist, or dry, since the City of Jamestown voted No. A spokesperson in the office of Russell County Court Clerk Latisha Popplewell said her best guess is, "I don't know." And that seems to be the street consensus this morning. It is expected that the question will be settled in court. 2009-11-25 08:28:44 | Comments | Printable version

Hopes Mayor Bloomberg doesn't see Shamarie's work Fears he may want to hold her captive, to run NYC public relations Ed-- If Mayor Bloomberg sees any of Shamarie's work, and her captions, he is going to hold her captive in NYC, and put her in charge of Public Relations. So far, my favorite caption is under the photo of the New Yorker Hotel and the Empire State building, 11-25-09. I've never seen the Chrsyler Building pictured from the angle Shamarie used. I cannot thank her enough, and you, for publishing this body of work. Keep it coming. As a public service, can you insert a line between photos, just once in awhile, suggesting that we stop admiring the stories and pictures, and check on the turkey ??????? Thanks, s/Mary Knight Thanks, Mary Knight. You've put into words something we've all been thinking but haven't been able to put into the right words, or perhaps we know that talent like Shamarie's is one of America's best kept secrets. -EW 2009-11-25 07:46:24 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

It swooped in at her (my little 8 lb. dog) one morning and I thought for a second it was going to pick her up before I could even react.

Iris bloom in November on Lampton Lane, Columbia, KY Click on headline for phographic proof, and full story By Ed Waggener We got this word in from Lampton Lane, from Patty Green, who sent picture proof of the phemenon: "Ed, I thought it was interesting that today (11-24-09) I found this iris in the flower bed in full bloom so I guess it is like me kinda confused on the weather, I live on Lampton lane so it must be coming spring here, I can't remember ever seeing an iris bloom before this time of year. s/Patty Green"With the election season here, it will remind everyone of the late, great Columbia Mayor Coy Downey, who promised to make the roses bloom in January and was responsible for a lot of the dogwoods and redbuds in the city. The photo is posted, and we'll post more as the cold season comes on, if the seasons don't manage to stay in order. Linda and I saw a gorgeous yellow iris in bloom on Saturday, but that was way back on November 21, 2009, and it was a way down south on KY 100 in, I believe, Monroe County. As anyone who has travelled KY 100 knows, it's not an easy road to find pull offs. We were driving as safely as we could, with the passenger describing the spectacular scenery along the way. -EW 2009-11-25 00:42:31 | Comments | Printable version Birthdays and Anniversaries for November 25 Happy Anniversary, Kevin and Shelly Jenkins (1989) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Anniversary, Steven T. and Teresa A.
