Mary Ritchey Lowe Bennett has a talking, singing cat

Meet the cat who talks, barks and sings Jesus Loves Me at the Christian Church

By Linda Waggener and Geniece Marcum


Mary Ritchey Lowe Bennett, the popular Jamestown Street, Columbia KY native, enjoys time with her many friends and family members but her most constant companion is her unique cat Punkin.

Punkin doesn't leave the house much at age 17 or 18, but sits at the window and "barks at passing animals, sings Jesus Loves Me at the Columbia Christian Church and talks with her privately during their days together." For instance, when it's time for breakfast, Mary Richey hears Punkin call out 'eat!' And she says Punkin eats good.

Billy Joe Fudge: On pear trees, stay with native species

Forester says Bradford, Cleveland pear trees compete, choke out Dogwood and Redbud trees
Comments re article 82153 Letter Question of dendrology

By Billy Joe Fudge
Retired District Forester, KY Forestry Service

Yes, there are some Cleveland Selects along with Aristocrat.

No matter the name, all three are structurally flawed in that the limbs are attached at extreme vertical angles and their limbs will shear off portions of the trunk when they break under the weight of snow, ice, even moderate winds and sometimes under their own weight.

Roma: from salt makers to the Ides of March

Steven Saylor is one of the most interesting writers to come down the pike in the last few years. I found the first of his "Roma Sub Rosa" series by accident one day in The Bookstore. You probably know by now that I am a fan of mystery and detective novels. Historical mysteries have of late intrigued me. Brother Cadfael in a monastery along the Welsh border in the twelfth century; Sister Fidelma, the Irish judge of the seventh century -- books about them and others have provided entertainment as well as great information about life in other times.

Saylor chose the Rome of Julius Caesar for the setting of his "Roma Sub Rosa" mysteries. His delightful detective, Gordianus the Finder, is a private eye clad in a toga.
