Unique Valentine Traditions Around The World By David Contreras Student Employee at Lindsey Wilson College ISP Argentina: Argentinians don't celebrate Valentine's Day in February, but "the week of sweetness" in July. It's the day when lovers exchange kisses and receive chocolates and other sweets. In the country, the day actually started as a commercial invention but later became Valentine's traditions. The "Sweetness' Week" is the first week of July, from 1st to 7th July. It was established in 1989 in Argentina as a result of the advertising campaign "a candy for a kiss" created by the brand Arcor. It was part of a marketing strategy to increase sales. The slogan of this particular week is a candy for a kiss. France: It is believed that the first ever Valentine's Day card was originated in France, when Charles, the Duke of Orleans, sent love letters to his wife from the prison in 1415. And the French village called "Valentine" turns into the epicentre of romance between 12th and 14th February.

Sites starting to light up on KentuckyWired By Randy Lutke Frankfort, KY - "I would recommend this to anybody," says Karen Wotier, one of the first users of KentuckyWired - the state-owned, high-speed fiber optic cable network going into government offices in all 120 Kentucky counties. Wotier is the building manager for the Cabinet for Health and Family Services (CHFS) branch location in Owenton. It was the first office to transition to KentuckyWired in December. "With our old system, when we opened up in the morning - even with just one person here - after 10 or 15 minutes, that little circle was still spinning on my computer screen," Wotier said. "Now, with KentuckyWired, [the pages I need] come right up. It's amazing." Wotier remembered that previously, it was difficult for the CHFS staff in Owenton to get their work done because of a slow and weak internet connection. Her computer system would often crash around 2 or 3 p.m., during their busiest time of the day.

The Great Buffalo of Old Buffalo in Adair County, Eighteenth century By Mike Watson Bison or Buffalo once roamed the countryside of what we call Adair County. This majestic creature was so numerous there was no possibility of hunting to extinction, until it became a sport and they were killed by the tens of thousands and left to decay. When the first adventurers and later settlers came into this area there were buffalo still to hunt. Settlement forced them to retreat to the west and eventually across the Mississippi River. When I try to explain that many of our early roads, if you could actually call them that, were previously buffalo trails, most people are leery. But it is true. The first Long Hunters, then thousands of others, followed the century's worn trails of wild life, particularly the buffalo, as they came westward. Columbia's site was partly chosen because two major trails crossed very near the location of the Old Courthouse.

Letter: Bison on the Run Lisa Blackaby writes: While on my drive to work Tuesday afternoon I had to take more than one look as I saw a rare sight. I don't know where they came from or where they were headed but the beautiful threesome were galloping through an open field on Highway 80 outside of Columbia. I'd say it's been quite some time since bison have roamed freely in these parts. --Lisa 2020-02-13 05:56:16 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
