Epicurean Kentuckian: White beans and greens soup By Maury Lewis In the Kentucky Living Magazine this month is a recipe on page 57 that is worth making."White Beans and Green's Soup." I used collards but turnip geens, I am sure would be just as good. If you like cornbread with your beans or greens, then you need to make some to go with this. Happy eating from beautiful Joppa. - Maury Lewis 2013-02-04 22:43:39 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Food

TechLink: Proposal for nationwide Super Wi-Fi before FCC This note from one of the tech-savvy readers in Gradyville, KY, who's just gone to a mobile hotspot instead of putting up with abysmal telephone line service - a travesty, when a rival provider has fiber optic service yards away, on the reader's farm. The reader sends a link to a Washington Post video about a plan the FCC is studying to offer nationwide, most powerful yet, internet service with a novel idea: Don't auction the service off to the highest bidder, but make it available to all. The link is: Tech, telecom giants take sides as FCC proposes large public WiFi networks. Generally, current internet provides hope to keep their toll booths in place. Google and Microsoft are on the other side. Your ideas are welcome, using the Comments button with this story. - CM 2013-02-04 20:31:40 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Technology News

CWC blows top off 'Pennies' fund drive Goal was $500. CWC students raise $5,241.40! Click on headline for item with photo By Patty Jones A couple of weeks ago Col. Wm. Casey Elementary, 220 Gen. John Adair Drive, Columbia, KY 42728, undertook their first Pennies for Patients campaign to support the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. We did this to help all children who are cancer patients, but we especially wanted to honor our own hero, Blane Bardin. Blane is a leukemia survivor and symbol of the children that the Leukemia Society is fighting so hard to save! We set a goal of $500 for the school. We not only reached our goal, but blew the roof off of it. As of this morning our total is $5,241.40 and we still have money coming in to the school. We are so thankful for all of our students who saved pennies, emptied piggy banks and did chores to raise money to donate to the cause. Most all of our money is in change. However, we are also thankful to the many parents, staff members and local businesses who supported this effort. - Patty Jones 2013-02-04 10:59:00 | Comments | Printable version

Deering & Myrtle Fletcher grandson: Stopping at OG's a treat It was a school bus stop for two ridges, for those who rode Mr. Lacy's bus or Peabody Murphy's. OG would break a box of shotgun shells to sell a boy what he could afford. By James Murrell As a child spending summers with my grandparents, Deering & Mrytle Fletcher, in the 1960's it was treat to stop at OG's store. this continued on through my early teen years when my brothers and I went to live with them on the banks of Harrods Fork. Everyday on the bus ride home from school, Mr. Lacy or Mr Peabody Murphy - depending on which ridge you lived on - would stop and let everyone get some candy or snack. I also remember it as being the gathering place for all the tobacco workers to eat during harvest times. And just a quick note: OG would always sell me shotgun shells by the shell if I could not afford a whole box. If the limit on Squirrels were 6, then usually that's how many I bought and became a better shot due to that fact. -James Murrell Comments re photo 48358 Favorite Old Photo OG Rowe store at Chance KY 2013-02-04 08:33:08 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Local History

Play is under siege? Kids need more time to play, a story in Time Magazine suggests. It's hard to grasp sometimes, but the Good Old Days of our Ancestors really did have much to teach us. There are so many modern ways which threaten happy prospects: Fattening Commercial Tv watching and Too Few Family Meals, Gun Violence, Sports Injuries, Over Organized Schedules for Kids, not to mention ubiquitous and atonal music - that it's refreshing to see that thinkers are looking back to better times, when play was play and so much better for kids and society. By Ed Waggener A bit of thinking at random, during playtime and a moment of indolence There's a story online which sparked this rant. It's What the pygmies can teach us about childrearing which offers some interesting insight on what we can learn from our the ways of our hunter/gatherer forebears and other cultures. It focuses on play. Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2013-02-04 03:30:56 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Commentary
