BJ Hagy: Old military maps often handy finding older cemeteries BJ HAGY writes: Hey Ed - Perhaps someone with some military connection(s), such as US Army, Army Reserve, or National Guard can be contacted to see if they can get access to a military map that shows the area(s) around the county where this cemetery might have been. Older military maps especially will show where older cemeteries may have been. Not necessarily by the name of the cemetery but will show where one may be. It may be overgrown with undergrowth or well concealed by the woods. Just a thought. Good luck. - BJ HAGYComments re article 79944 Query received Wants information on BrawnerSmith Cemetery 2016-01-06 17:07:25 | Comments | Printable version

Carol Perkins: Let's go to town Town was Edmonton, Kentucky. In the 50's the population was probably around twelve hundred people and it isn't much larger today. Sitting on a knob in South Central Kentucky with nothing but a flashing red light at the four way stop, Edmonton could hardly be called a place of excitement to outsiders, but it was home. It would be home to me except for my four years away during college. Next previous column: Carol Perkins: The Christmas with the best present ever By Carol Perkins "Let's go to town," I would say to my dad from the backseat on our way home from my grandmother's when I was no more than seven or eight. It was less than a mile from our house so taking a short ride around the town square would take very little time. He didn't ask me why I wanted to go to town, but rather than turn into our driveway, he continued up the hill and around the town square slowly, so I could absorb displays in the store windows and the streetlights glimmering against the black of the pavement. Then we went home. Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2016-01-06 13:39:06 | Comments | Printable version

Good jobs are back for college grads, says report By Bob King, President, Kentucky Council on Postsecondary Education Personal commentary Since the Great Recession, the national press has communicated the notion that a college degree is not worth the effort or expense, and that few jobs exist for those who pursue this fruitless but costly adventure. Story after story has perpetuated the myth of deeply indebted college graduates wasting away in dead-end jobs paying minimum wages and receiving no benefits. All good storytelling, these emotional, compelling, heartrending tales lead to the savory conclusion that colleges and universities are selling products no one really needs. But a new report developed by the Center on Education and the Workforce at Georgetown University clearly demonstrates that all these stories are just that--stories. While the anecdotes may have been true, the larger data paints a very different picture.
