Adorable kitten found crying in rain: Needs someone to adopt him Free Kitten: An adorable little male kitten was crying outside our house last night when it was raining. Since we live right off East 80 we don't have the heart to let him outside as he might get run over. The kitten is male with great markings. He seems very healthy and playful. We need the kitten gone because we have dogs that aren't cat friendly. Please help us find him a good home. Thanks! Phone (270) 384-4928. 2010-06-05 19:22:41 | Comments | Printable version

Artist's critique of John E. Moss photo: A gorgeous spiral ... About: Reflection In The Mirror a photo by John E. Moss of the Doughboy Statue in Monument Square, Jamestown, Kentucky To Robert Stone, forwarded to ColumbiaMagazine.com: This is incredible! The angle, catching it in the mirror, and contrast of the surrounding room, even the part reflected in the mirror ... against the bright of the outdoor scene is incredible. The bright sky through the trees yanks the eye down to the distant roof, from which I see gleam on the statue, which sets my eye to focusing and roaming about the statue itself. Then, the eye roams around the rest, the items in the room ... the light on the oranges(?) and the way they're stacked leads right back up to the reflection in the mirror again ... A gorgeous spiral ... s/Eoghan Camron Artist, Arizona 2010-06-05 03:16:23 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Local Arts Scene

A plea to help struggling U.S. veterans Writer suggests a fundraiser to help Veterans, in much the same way communities hold fund raisers to fight disease, support other worthy causes By Clay Jones To whom this may concern As I sit and read your articles tonight, I am curious. I see all this support and love for the Relay for Life program. Many businesses, schools, and other organizations take part in this event each, and every, year. I do tip my hat to them, for what they are trying to do My concern is the homeless vets, the vets who are struggling to find a decent meal, the vets who are struggling to just get out of bed to face another day of life, afraid of what they have become and what they must face now that they are home.
