Remembering Louise Nobles: She helped writer find her way 'I feel I am the woman I am today because of this great, wonderful, loving lady.' - Sheila Johnson Sheila Johnson writes: I was saddened to hear of the passing of Louise Nobles. The first time I met Louise she was my supervisor at Summit Manor back in the 80s. I was a young woman trying to find myself. I had just moved to Columbia from a large city in Illinois. I knew nothing about hard work, let alone being a nursing assistant. Louise took me under her wing and helped me along the way. We became not just co-workers - but friends. Even after we both left our jobs at the nursing home I knew I could call upon her for advice, and I did often during my "find Sheila journey years." I feel I am the woman I am today because of this great, wonderful, loving lady. Louise, I must truly say I love you and thank you for all you did for me while on this earth. - Sheila JohnsonComments about: Betty Louise Dunbar Nobles, Adair Co., KY (1932-2014) 2014-02-26 16:51:55 | Comments | Printable version

Peggy Fudge: Different libraries have different, unique needs Writer details problems she sees with cost reduction ideas as propounded by by Ed Pipalski By Peggy Fudge Commentary Am I understanding Mr. Pipalski correctly? He wants to consolidate our school and public libraries? Not just the administration, but the facilities and the numerous assets? My first concern is access, as in, who has access to the libraries? The public can stroll into the public library without even showing a library card. A school library is designed for daily, easy accessability by students, and the general public should not have that kind of free access to a school - certainly not in this day of predators and other crazies. Students should have 'as needed' access to the library. Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2014-02-26 11:23:49 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Commentary
