James Higdon presented interesting insight on Cornbread Mafia

By Robert Cumming

Author James Higdon from Lebanon presented an interesting insight on his 2012 book "Cornbread Mafia" Tuesday night at Lindsey Wlison's Slider Hall public lecture series. The book project was in development for several years and due to its controversial subject went through several publishers before going to print.

It was quite a task by the author to gain the trust of his subjects in order to tell their tale. The speaker later opened up the lecture for some lively questions and answers about his book experience. James Higdon is also a freelance news journalist most recently covering the Rowan County clerk Kim Davis office story for the Washington Post. - Robert Cumming

Comments re article 77698 Scenic Russell County KY Goldenrod between Crocus and Bryan
Ben, the fact that you will experience a moment of guilt before mowing them down from now on is good enough balance for now. And, mowing them is much better than spraying them with chemicals to get rid of them. -- LW

Coal miner killed in equipment accident at Webster Co. mine

Death is the second in Kentucky mines in 2015

News from Commonwealth News Center

Frankfort, KY (16 Sep 2015) - An employee of the Sebree Mine in Webster County died early this morning when the continuous miner head he was repairing fell, crushing him. The miner has been identified as 29-year-old Rickey Thorpe of Dawson Springs, KY.

The accident occurred at approximately 2:20amCT. There were no other injuries reported. Sebree Mine is an underground mine operated by Alliance Coal.

Investigators with the Kentucky Division of Mine Safety are on-site investigating the accident and have closed the mine until further notice.

Op-ed: Gov. Beshear, Rep. Rogers - Open access internet in every county

Governor Steve Beshear and Rep. Hal Rogers say KentuckyWired project is a key catalyst for profound, sweeping growth in job creation, health access, education

Kentucky is embarking on one of the biggest infrastructure projects in more than 50 years - developing a robust, reliable, fiber "backbone" infrastructure that will bring high-speed Internet connectivity to every county of the Commonwealth.

The network, called KentuckyWired or the I-Way in eastern Kentucky, will break down geographic and financial barriers to education and economic development by providing affordable, high-quality Internet service to connect Kentuckians to the world.

Because KentuckyWired is open access, local service providers can tie into the network at a reduced cost and build fiber to homes and businesses, making broadband service more affordable throughout the state.

April Shepperd: On the taste of crawfish

'Their taste lies somewhere between shrimp and lobster. Unlike lobster that usually retains its flavor, crawfish soak up the spices of the boil. Although the practice seems vile to some, locals suck the heads before moving on to the meaty tails.' - APRIL SHEPPERD
About: Comments re article 77658 Question for Travel Writer Big Al What does crawfish taste like

April Shepperd writes -- A native of Nawlins, I can honestly say crawfish is a true southern tradition. There is nothing more southern than a Saturday afternoon boil with family and friends.
<
Crawfish season is from the beginning of March through mid June, and local seafood shops keep a fresh supply in stock straight from the boats. If you get them any other time of year, they were most likely frozen.
