Miss Donna Rieder learning a lot about Coffey Hole land Land was once Judd Hill; there was once a distillery on property Miss Donna Rieder writes: What a great response I got to the posting of that photo, especially a phone call from Mr. Leon Huff, whose property joins mine at one point. His property has been in his family for generations, and he is very familiar with my property as well, having played here as a kid. He shared some interesting history of my parcel with me, including the fact that it used to be known as "Judd Hill," after a Mr. Judd who owned the property at one time and had a distillery at the spring. He promised he and his sister would come visit me soon, and bring copies of papers and other information about the history of not only my place, but the surrounding area, Sam Coffey Hole, and such. Fascinating stuff! -Miss DonnaSee photo: Miss Donna's Creek: Anyone know the name? 2013-01-20 19:06:42 | Comments | Printable version

Wonders how unemployment figured Comments re article 57001 Kentuckys jobless rate dropped to 81 percent in December 2012 Dale McCloud writes: I would like to know how unemployment or jobless rate is based on. Is it all Ky. residents who are between the ages of 18 and 70? Apparently it is based on some ghost numbers or fuzzy math. There are more people in Kentucky on entitlement than those of us working. How can the jobless rate be what it is? - Dale McCloudThanks, Dale McCloud I rely on this metric, trusting that is arrived at in a consistent manner, and that the arithmetic always based on the most reliable statistics available. For how it's done, see:How the Government Measures Unemployment. The article gives answers to 14 FAQs about how we get joblessness figures. - EW 2013-01-20 12:15:46 | Comments | Printable version

Happy Tail: Dolly - a new life for an old dog Dolly was old when she came to Sugarfoot Rescue. She was good with the other dogs, never aggressive but never made any attempt to play with them. She always had the saddest eyes that went so deep it was as if she had a very sad story to tell. She did, but all that changed when a woman from Louisville saw Dolly's photo online, and sensed she would be a perfect quiet companion for Bodhi. Click on headline for story with photo(s) The next earlier Happy Tail: Meant to be - The Lindsey Wilson College Coach and his dog By Peg Schaeffer Dolly - a new life for an old dog A year ago a man stopped at the farm to tell us about a dog that had shown up at his house.

She obviously had been nursing a litter of puppies and they had literally sucked the life out of her. She looked tired, worn, and brokenhearted.

Color coded classroom wings interesting concept Writer suggests Cardinal and Wildcat markers, also, for those who are color blind Doug Beard writes: I have enjoyed the updates on the new elementary school. The blue and green color schemes to aid students in finding their rooms is an interesting concept. Of course, up to 10% of males, and a lesser number of females, are colorblind. Maybe we should also throw in some additional imagery to guide the way! I guess we could add Cardinals and Wildcats as the directional indicaters. That could certainly make it fun!! --Doug BeardComments re photo 48221 Wings of new elementary school will be color coded 2013-01-20 04:12:46 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Education
