Exhibit focusing on KY Women Veterans opens June 13

From Dana Zinger

Frankfort, KY - The Kentucky Historical Society (KHS) is pleased to announce the grand opening of Our Stories, Our Service: Kentucky's Women Veterans on view from June 13, 2023, through Fall 2024.

Presented in the Keeneland Gallery of the Kentucky History Center in downtown Frankfort, the exhibition honors Kentucky's women veterans and explores how their courage and leadership have made significant military contributions in this century and the last. These individual experiences are part of the larger story of how the role of women in the United States Armed Forces has evolved from the home front to the front lines - and how resilience and determination have overcome cultural and institutional barriers to their service.

The Kentucky History Center is located at 100 W. Broadway, Frankfort, KY 40601. The museum is open Tuesday-Saturday from 10amET to 5pmET.

Economic Development update

Business of the May 25, 2023 Adair County Economic Development Authority meeting included approval of two letters of intent to be sent to potential prospects who have shown interest in locating in the Green River industrial Park.

There is no commitment on the side of either party, however, there could be two lots in the park (one over a hundred acres and one over twenty) that may soon need to be reserved, depending on communications going forward. There are still several tracts available.

Poetry by Robert Stone: Cats have plans

Cats have plans: A birthday sonnet for Christopher Wendell Comperry
By Robert Stone, 29 May 2023

While you may think you choose what cat is yours,
if you are honest you will soon observe
that you do not decide what bond endures,
that cats have plans from which they do not swerve.

You can no longer claim you own your things,
you will soon find yourself at beck and call
of majesty demanding all that clings
about you from when you were not in thrall.

You put out food but must remember well
old food will never do, there must be fresh,
and if you think you need to rest a spell,
do not propose to pledge a pound of flesh.

Your cat keeps track of what you say and do
and if you disagree, you cannot sue.

Adventure, spiritual formation intersect in Wigginton's new book

By Gerard Flanagan

Campbellsville, KY - Dr. Scott Wigginton has always considered himself a systematic person. So, the fact that his doctoral thesis was a 400-page work, carefully outlined and rich in footnotes and annotation, is no surprise.

However, his latest book, "Adventures to Godliness: Filling the Hole in Your Bucket List," developed in anything but a systematic, orderly way.
