Teresa Roy: Concerned for Jack, the Golden Retriever

Teresa Roy writes:
Any news on Jack, the Woodys' Golden Retriever??? I know they miss him terribly. From where they live, he could have traveled toward Sparksville, toward 55 S, toward 704, just about anywhere between!!! He's a pup and a Golden. He would have hung around anyone wanting to play.

If anyone sees a Golden that you aren't familiar with, reddish golden in color, answering to Jack, please contact 270-634-0038 or me at 270-634-3670.

Incoming UK Freshman Helps to Beautify Burkesville

By Katie Pratt, Jeff Franklin
University of Kentucky College of Agriculture, Food and Environment

Burkesville, KY - Molly Morgan takes pride in her hometown of Burkesville. As a high school junior, the 4-H'er set out to make the town and Cumberland County a more beautiful place.

"I attended the Rogers Scholars program two years ago, and they really encourage you to go home and give back to your community," Morgan said. "Burkesville is known for its tourism, because we are right on Dale Hollow Lake, so I thought about beautification activities I could do in the county."

Morgan and her mother Amy, approached Elijah Wilson, the county's University of Kentucky cooperative extension agent for 4-H Youth Development, about ways she could do this. The result was a committee headed by Morgan and comprised of local leaders.

Two years later, Morgan and the committee she started, Partners with P.R.I.D.E., have added rock and landscaping to three of the town's welcome signs and have installed flower beds along the roads going through the Southern Kentucky town.

Tv turned off by lightning which struck Beautiful Joppa, KY

Maury Lewis wants to know what to do about it. And remembers a trade of the Old Lamplighter ilk, a Tv Repairman? Anyone know if there's any around, today, in our throw-away society?

Maury Lewis writes:
I have a 45-inch TV that was turned off for good by lightning.

What do I do with it?

Is there anything on it that can be recycled?

Do they take TVs when they take the computers and other electronic devices? Do people work on TVs any more? melewi 8/16/2016 10:17am BJT (beautiful Joppa time) --Maury Lewis

Great Questions, Maury Lewis: Recycling issues are front burner today. The answers to the questions you ask are above my pay grade, but maybe readers will have answers. - ED

Upon arrival, the minister had not yet arrived home so they departed and met Rev. Antle as he was on the road returning to his house.
