Carol Perkins/Travelogue: Critique of Branson It's picturesque, very similar to, but not quite like the writer's South Central Kentucky world, around Edmonton, Metcalfe County, KY. The Perkins family went a tiny bit ahead of the Branson mobbed season. She was dismayed at seeing so many massive theaters for sale. "The food was good, the rest was welcomed, and the Wildcats advanced to the finals. If you have not been to Branson, I recommend staying away from there during the busy season, especially if you have a short fuse in bumper to bumper traffic and small children without IPADS.' she writes.

We had never been to Branson, Missouri, so immediately after filing our taxes; we healed our wounds by leaving town.ic of others such as the John Denver Show, The George Strait Show, etc. The food was good, the rest was welcomed, and the Wildcats advanced to the finals.

Jon Halsey: The mystery bird is a cowbird Comments re photo 54443 Birds of Kentucky Female Cowbird Young Catbird By Jon Halsey According to National Geographic the Catbird has a distinct dark gray plumage with a black cap. They further state that no other American bird has this uniform dark gray plumage. That would seem to rule out the Catbird. Based on the short tail and bill, I would cast my vote for a Brown Headed Cowbird of the female persuasion. I know at least one your readers has a cat that seems to be expert on birds and seems to enjoy checking them out. My suggestion would be to secure that particular cat and see if it and the bird hold an intelligent conversation. If they did that would seem to be definitive proof that once again I'm wrong and it is definitely a Catbird. Of course such an experiment might render the whole exercise moot but they pure scientific research always has it's risks. jon halsey Knifley --jon halsey 2014-04-20 06:00:21 | Comments | Printable version
Russell County, KY, history: the election day murder of Taylor Sullivan, 1909 A chilling story involving not only Russell County, but Adair, Wayne and Pulaski, as well, of a murder of a young Rowe's Xroads father, which didn't end there. A father & son, Walter & WIlliam Pierce, were arrested, and taken to the 'Jamestown Bastille' and here was great fear of a vigilante justice. It had not been one year since the a mob had forcibly removed Elmer Hill from the jail in Monticello and lynched him. In the course of he excitement, the Pierces were moved to the jail in Columbia, when Jailer J.K.P. "Uncle Polk" Conover was jailer. The younger Pierce was tried in Russell County. His father's trial was in Columbia, where he was defended by Rollin Hurt and James Garnett. The outcomes and aftermath are in the complete story below, skillfully research and written by Jim By Jim Garner On election day, 1909, and for several days thereafter, great excitement prevailed in Russell County. At the Rowe's X-Roads voting house, young Walter Sullivan, who had not yet seen a score of years, shot and killed Taylor Sullivan. Mr. Sullivan, 27, was married to the former Miss Betty Miller and was the father of two small children, a daughter and a son. Rev. Thomas Hadley, the Rowe's X-Roads correspondent, a kindly but blunt-spoken man, told the tale in a few short lines: Russell County history: the election day murder of Taylor Sullivan, 1909.

Tom Chaney: Reading Jesus Of Writers And Their Books: Reading Jesus. Tom says Jesus Interrupted is an attempt to provide a clear and compelling account of the challenges faced when we begin to reconstruct the "life and message of Jesus." This column first appeared 12 April 2009. The next earlier Tom Chaney column: Time Out from Axes and Blood for Hobbits and Pipe-Weed By Tom Chaney Reading Jesus Last Sunday we began the annual ceremonies of holy week -- the events at the very center of the Christian year and at the heart of its message. The gospels tell of the progress of Jesus into Jerusalem on what we now call Palm Sunday up through the final meal with his followers on Thursday evening followed by the dark night of denial and betrayal in Gethsemane.
