Shamarie Claiborne: A miracle is needed for Angel's son At first, the reunion online with her ACHS high school chum was a sharing of Happy Ever After stories for both women, but shortly after, former Columbian Angela Burton Farrer confided a crisis in her son's life, a medical drama that was all too much similar to one Shamarie had gone through years earlier . . . By Shamarie Claiborne I want to state this disclaimer before I start this very unusual article for me. It is not what many of you are use to hearing or seeing from me. But by the end of it you will more fully understand what truly makes me tick. I should say I am not a preacher and the views I will reflect in this article are my own. They are based on the teachings of my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and his loving father as I have experienced it. My view may not correspond with your own or your church's beliefs but please read with a open heart and understand the big picture. Many people in Columbia know me for different reasons. Some from my childhood and youth. Others through my children and band. Some only from my photography and articles. Another hand full from my community involvement. A few know me through my spirituality and my firm belief that the Lord has a time and reason for everything.

SC KY Historical & Genealogical Society to meet in Glasgow, KY Program on Thursday, January 23, 2013, is "A Confederate Veteran's Life After the War" Click on headline for item with photo(s) By Sam Terry The South Central Kentucky Historical and Genealogical Society will meet on Thursday, January 23 at 6:30pmCT, at the Mary Wood Weldon Memorial Library, 1530 S Green Street, Glasgow, KY. Bob Fortunato of LaGrange will present a program sponsored by the Kentucky Humanities Council, "A Confederate Veteran's Life After the War." In the wake of America's Civil War, more than 40,000 Kentucky men who had worn the gray returned home. While many returned to quiet, productive lives, some were not as fortunate and ended up in publicly funded alms-houses, poor farms or asylums. The Confederate Home in Pee Wee Valley opened in 1902 to provide a respectable place of retirement. The public is welcome to attend this program. - Sam Terry 2014-01-20 07:59:01 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Local History

I thought, 'How can I make this available for a broader audience?'" That was the genesis of The Weekly Juicery, a Kentucky Proud fresh juice bar located at 436 Old Vine Street, Lexington, KY.
