Pat Bennett adds mature account of Bliss Blizzard of 1960

She was one thousand times older than fellow townswoman Victoria Pike on that day; and vividly recalls the treacherous times in the Claycomb Holler neighborhood in the storied Adair County Village, especially the difficulties ascending Bliss Hill, an Olympic challenge with the lightest of snows.
Comments re article 49748 Local History Big March Snow of 1960 met by new Blisstonian written by a recollections of historian who was hours from being born when the Bliss Blizzard of 1960 calamitized the well laid plans to get her expectant mother to the hospital in Campbellsville.

By Patricia Holladay Bennett
Bliss, KY, historian specializing in Claycomb Holler

I was a mere 3 years old in March 1960, but I remember the blizzard well. We lived way back in the Claycomb Holler above my grandparents house going up the Bliss Hill.

My father walked one mile to feed - to save his little black trucks tires - twice a day - but during this he rode one of Grandpa's four mules who unwillingly drug a big wooden post behind it to break tracks.

Plaudits for Sheriff Harrison Moss and War on Meth

Richard Raines writes:
Thanks to Harrison on working so tirelessly to bring the Methamphetamine makers and dealers to justice.

This substance is very addictive - normally someone who "experiments" with it is addicted from the first time they use it. Users typically die within 5 to 10 years of the first use. The chances of quitting it also are very slim - - usually addicts have to be locked up where they absolutely cannot get the drug for quite a while.

Meth is such a problem that those who deal in it make pill dealers and bootleggers seem like minor nuisances because it is so addictive!!

This substance is more of a problem in our area because it can be made from "ordinary household products" than probably any of us know. --Richard Raines

Needed to post important event: Street & Number

We've got a very important event to post, but it lacks one essential for CM Events listing: A Street & Number for Ireland Community Center in Taylor County, KY.

We post only those which include street & number for venues. While it helps us continue to give, for free, publicity we'd charge $50-$100 or more if it were commercial when the street and number is including with submissions, we try to find it, when we can, from information already "parked" on CM. Timely postings are that important.

Once this information is incorporated into the site, as in CM's Directory of Churches, we refer to that resource rather than slow the posts of important events. Thanks. -EW

Local History: Big March Snow of 1960 met by new Blisstonian

Storm heralded the arrival of a second, as this story being unfolded by Vicky Pike reveals. While the CJE of Adair County was well into her first year and should remember more of the Blizzard of March 1960, author Victoria Pike has to recall the big events of the blizzard from second hand information: How high ranking Kentucky Highway Department friend cleared the road to get her mother to the maternity center in Campbellsville, KY; how dear friend Jimmy Bennett arrived just a few days later. He has information from reliable source, Pat Holladay Bennett, who was a mature four year old at the time. But read on for revelation on why the Ogre, Bud Mullins the sinkhole dweller, came to be in Blissful Bliss - and more in this true account of the Blizzard of March, 1960 - CM

By Victoria Pike

On March 17, 1960 there was snow up to the window sills here at 3011 Burkesville Road, Columbia, KY.

That is a mere 27 inches. And guess who was ready to make her grand appearance into this world? Me.

Kentucky Color: Immersed in the World of Hemlock Cove

It's a seldom seen, underappreciated spot of almost mystical beauty
Click on headline for introduction and photo(s)

By Billy Joe Fudge

Hemlock carries a mystical almost supernatural persona. Hemlock can live to 800 years of age and a sapling no bigger than a man's ankle can sometimes be 200 years old still living in the deep, cool shade of the dense Hemlock canopy.

One has never truly experienced the Presence of Nature until he has been immersed in the world of Hemlock Cove. - Billy Joe Fudge
