Wants to know if new sweeper truck will mean new job And, if so, Rita Smith wants to know how will driver be picked? Comments re photo 44551 City has newly purchased street sweepervacuum Rita Smith writes: So my question is now that an additional job has been created, will an opening be posted for any individual who wants to seek employment with the city? I as a citizen of Columbia think that it is only right and fair that all citizens have a shot at this job. I would hate to think that as usual the only person that gets this job is one who is already working for the city, and they just got moved around to accommodate another individual, if you know what I mean. Sincerely - RITA SMITHThanks, Rita Smith: Nothing has been said about any new job, and we would assume there might be even fewer employees needed with this labor saving device. Not sure what you might be referring to by moving people around, but would think that in many cases, that would be the most economical plan. You might want to just check it all out at City Hall, 116 Campbellsville Street, Columbia, KY, and the phone number is 270-384-2501. You might want to contact them for specifics about work there. -CM 2012-04-03 10:38:50 | Comments | Printable version

More on friendly little puppy in the Roadside Park Pleads not to turn the little dog in; believes it belongs with someone on Morrison Road Tracy York writes: This dog was at the Park Saturday when I was there. I think it belongs to someone that lives on Morrison Road. Please don't take it to the shelter, because if it doesn't belong to someone, and it isn't adopted in like 2 to 3 weeks, they will put it to sleep. That isn't fair to this poor animal. - Tracy YorkComments re photo 44550 Friendly little puppy is loose at Roadside Park Columbia KY 2012-04-03 09:01:21 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

Almost Famous: When CBS Dropped by Shelbyville A crew from CBS Sports dropped by the coffee shop in Shelbyville last week to shoot footage for a segment on the UK/UL rivalry. The piece was supposed to air on the pregame show before Saturday's semifinal game between the schools, but got bumped, and then bumped again from the post-game wrap-up. The producers did finally find a home for the segment, on video sharing site vimeo: Rivalry Kent vs Lou Final Four Feature from Deb Boulac on Vimeo. A note: Mayor Thomas Hardesty of Shelbyville gives an Academy Award performance in the video, as does my granddaughter, the little baby in her mother's UK-loving arms. (And, while Mayor Hardesty may be deluged with offers from Hollywood, he might learn a trick or two from Columbia's singing, guitar playing, silk tongued orator Mayor, the honorable Mark D. Harris.) - Ed Waggener2012-04-03 07:35:39 | Comments | Printable version
