Bombers on 9/11 - a chilling personal encounter By Pam Capozziello While nearing the anniversary of 9/11, I cannot help remembering where I was at that time and my own personal encounter with the terrorists themselves. This story will leave you with a lot of shivers up your spine!! Back in 2001 I was living in West Palm Beach Florida and was working at a tourist attraction which was a drive thru zoo with loads of animals and several gift shops. I worked in the many little stores as a cashier. I would rotate stores daily and on a Sunday back in July 2001 I was at the entrance to the drive thru part of the safari working in a little camera store which sold drinks and camera supplies.

Within a few hours after the World Trade Center towers fell and took a piece of America's heart with them, Western Kentucky University photojournalism students packed their cars with photography gear and headed north in search of answers.

Letter: Hiding behind the written word! Patricia Mullins writes: Columbia Magazine is a great way to keep up with local events but this is the second article with someone criticizing without putting their name behind their words. I have always said that people would never say the things to someone's face that they will do easily on line. This just proves my point. If you believe in something you should be willing to say it in public or at least be willing to put your name behind it! 2021-09-10 19:52:34 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
Letter: Thanks Senator Wise Ann Pearson writes: Mr Wise did not do away with masks, vaccines or other means to help stop the virus, he simply left what happens in schools in the hands of those schools. Let the ones in our country do what is best for us. What happens in our community needs to be decided by our community, we know what works best for us. I'd rather our community decide that power hungry government officials.

Kentucky's first pandemic-era special session wraps By Jim Hannah, LRC Frankfort, KY - The Kentucky General Assembly flexed its powers to shape the state's COVID-19 response during a three-day special session lawmakers gaveled to a close Thursday night. The governor called the extraordinary session after the state Supreme Court ruled that a lower court incorrectly blocked laws limiting the executive branch's emergency powers.
