Kentucky Color: Prosciutto Ham



2012-01-02 - Columbia, KY - Photo submitted by Billy Joe Fudge, Sports Writer, Retired District Forester, KY State Division of Forestry.

Billy Joe Fudge says a friend thought he'd found some special food when he was served prosciutto ham in South Florida, but he was eating the same thing when his grandfather, Wilbert Stotts, used to go the smoke house and cut slivers of country ham off with a big butcher knife.

Kentucky Color - Great Wooded South Prosciutto

As a culinary center, Miami area has nothing on Harvey's Ridge, where the author and his grandfather dined on prosciutto back in the 50's. Even today, about the only difference between thin sliced cured but not cooked country ham and "prosciutto," is layers and layers of 'airs' and $17.00 more a pound for the stuff with a high-faluting name. -CM.

'The long and short of it is this, those Mediterraneans don't have anything on Sparksvillians and Harveys Ridgers who live and dine in the midst of European culture in The Great Wooded South.' -BILLY JOE FUDGE

Kentucky Division of Forestry

A friend of mine posted this photo of prosciutto and melon from a recent meal in Miami. That is in Florida, I think. Although my friend is a fellow Kentuckian and is well aware of the cutting edged culture found here and particularly in Sparksville and Harveys Ridge, he seemed to imply that he had found something special in South Florida.

Article title by JIM reminds Coach Grigsby of 5th grade teacher

Comments re article 49154 JIM New Year 100 years ago On little cat feet

By David Grigsby

I was pleasantly surprised to see the phrase, "on little cat feet" in the reprinted article from New Year 100 Years ago. I was first introduced to the phrase as a 5th grader by my teacher, Mrs. Pennington. It is a quote taken from a poem by Carl Sandburg around 1916. Here is the original:
'THE fog comes
on little cat feet.

It sits looking
over harbor and city
on silent haunches
and then moves on.'
Mrs. Pennington was teaching us about the use of Personification in writing. For some reason it was a lesson I never forgot. --David Grigsby

Thanks, Coach Grigsby, for sharing that memory, and for remind us of the great moments of insight teachers have provided. I wonder if Mrs. Pennington knows that she connected that day with a young mind in a way which made a lasting, positive impression? That surely must be one of the big rewards for a true teacher. -EW For the few readers who may not know, David Grigsby is the Head Coach of Lindsey Wilson College Cycling.

KY Dept. of Education data shows challenges Adair Schools face

ACHS joins long list of Kentucky schools which must do a better job of preparing students for 'Grade 13' - A.W. REED
Graduating Rate, College Going Rate, 'Readiness for College' scores, coupled with high dropout rate all must be addressed, AC School leaders say

By Alan W. Reed
News from the Adair County, KY, School District

An extensive report from a joint commission comprised of the Kentucky Department of Education, Council on Postsecondary Education, and the Kentucky Higher Assistance Authority is the most revealing yet on graduation rates and college and/or work readiness; most schools falling short.

The Kentucky P-20 Data Collaborative has been bringing together data for the Kentucky High School Feedback Report on numbers of students prepared for college and those students who actually attend college. The latest data are based on the graduating classes of 2010.

The Kentucky High School Feedback Report on College Readiness, Class of 2010, includes individual reports for all 228 public high schools in Kentucky with a graduating class in 2010. The report allows for comparisons between schools and districts across the Commonwealth.

The table below compares graduation rates and college going rates for ACHS with those of nearby districts:



Noting a dropout rate of nearly 22%, Superintendent Darrell Treece says, "If even one Adair County student drops out of school, that is one too many."

ACHS college-ready scores in three key subject areas mirrored those in the surrounding counties, but Treece says it's clear that the school district must do more to boost scores in college-ready math, reading and English.

College readiness in three core areas, Adair County High School graduates


Adair County graduates performed at or above the state average on the report. Over 74% of ACHS grads pursued four-year degrees as compared to the state average of just over 49%.

Treece also says, "The community is trusting that we will direct more of our efforts towards getting students ready for the kinds of jobs that are available now and into the future. "

"It's not just college readiness we're talking about, its career readiness," he said. "Grade 13 can mean a lot things. All of us have to keep in mind that the workplace has changed forever. Some of the greatest job opportunities out there demand skills in technology. We have to prepare students for all those opportunities", said Treece.

Little Oscar the pig home safely after coordinated rescue

There's bliss in Bliss; felicity in The Flatwoods. The Prodigal Pig is home! After Miss Victoria found the little fellow and was joined by J.M. Shelley, and Craig Feese they had almost instant response from Adair County Animal Warden Jimmy Harmon, who was shopping at the huge nearby center in Greater Bliss. Little Oscar is now happily home with the Feese children, who had missed him terribly. Miss Victoria, who rose from her sickbed to look for the pig Saturday, is relieved to have found Oscar before neighborhood's coyotes did; and rejoices that he didn't fall prey to the Ogre, Bud Mullins, said to occupy a sinkhole in her back field
CM hopefully awaits a proper portrait of Oscar, now permanently enshrined as an authenitic Adair County animal hero.

by Victoria Pike

Around noon today I found Oscar, the little pig belonging to Craig and Stephanie Feeses's children, resting in the the corner between our fence and JM Shelley's horse lot.

He was hemmed in by an electric fence in the corner, whose purpose is to keep the calves from bunching up at the end of the fence.

I called Craig and JM to come quick. JM summoned help from Adair County Animal Warden Jimmy Harmon who was at wallyworld.

In short order, they scooped him up in a net Mr. Harmon uses to catch small animals without hurting them. Then they loaded him for a quick ride home to the Feese children who had been missing Oscar terribly.

The little Feeses also have two more little lady pigs at home.

Sorry, no pictures. Batteries were dead. Just glad little Oscar isn't going to be spending the night in the sinkhole with Bud Mullins or in the belly of one of our local coyotes.

He was found only a few hundred feet from Ole Bud's home in the backfield. --Victoria Pike

Eighty-nine haiku. 1000 haiku countdown to Chambers Stevens' 50th birthdaywho posted on Facebook: "It is a 1000 days until I am 50 years old. Wonder what I could accomplish in a 1000 days if I put my mind, body and soul into it?" and I said I could write a haiku every day for a thousand days. This collection includes those for Nov.-Dec. 2011.

Another two months have rolled by and here are the recent haiku. All of them were written as comments on comments or on status notes or on photographs or on blog posts or in responses to emails.
