Daily News for Sunday, March 28, 2021
A tick discovered and dispatched By Linda Waggener I spent a rainy, stormy Saturday morning going to the urgent care in new Columbia because I'd discovered a tick on the outside edge of my inner ear. Normally I'd have struck a match, blown out the flame, touched the hot tip to the tick, then removed it with tweezers - however the location made it impossible to see well enough to take care of it without help. In this time of pandemic the process is you go into the foyer for triage and sign in, give your cell number and then they will call you while you wait in your car until it’s your turn to come in.

Kentucky Color: Brown Corduroy By Billy Joe Fudge Once upon a time in the Great Wooded South there was a big ol' schoolhouse right smack dab in Downtown Breeding. It was the days of outdoor toilets, well water pumped by hand, metal water coolers with water purified by bleach dropped in from a medicine dropper, natural air through large raised windows during hot weather and an attempt to keep down on incidents of frost bite with a large pot-bellied, wood stove in each room. It was the middle 50's but yet I can never forget the long stove pipes suspended with wires from what seemed to be 20 foot ceilings. Even when it was just moderately cold, children who were not near the stove would be shivering. I can remember when it was really cold that the teachers would bring everyone's desks up near the stove and forgo the normal protocol of desks facing the huge blackboards. I remember the blackboards had both printed and cursive letters permanently embossed along the entire width of the top of those blackboards. I remember a lot of things, many of which were extremely unpleasant at the time. But today, in the annals of my mind and the gold depository of my heart, I cherish each and every memory, including those which were unpleasant. I remember how excited we all were to leave Downtown Breeding behind to move to the North a few miles to our new school in Downtown Sparksville during my 6th grade year. I could go on and on about central heat and air, no more pumping water, no more medicine droppers and White Monday Bleach jugs, indoor toilets, etc. but I won't for now. I was in the first grade during the winter of the 56/57 school year. Miss Edra Page was my teacher.

Letter: Why so long! Marie Freeman writes: This puppy mill hoarding situation lives on my road. Over 3 years ago I contacted anyone I could think of to get help! Every visit I was informed if the animals had food water they wouldn't do anything. I listened to the poor animals cry bark for help daily! It took a organization from New York to finally save these poor creatures. Now there are rats infested, dead animal carcasses and so many abused animals needing rehabilitation. 2021-03-28 08:29:56 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
