Chapter Three

By Darlene Franklin-Campbell

"Lord, I was born a ramblin' man," Ace sang along with the CD player as she drove toward Muskrat Cove. "Tryin' to make a livin' and doin' the best I can...."

"I wish you'd quit singing," Rosie whined from the passenger seat. "You're not a man, anyway."

"No, but I'm a rambler and so are you."

"I don't know why Pinky didn't want me to come help bury James Allen in the lake. He's my husband, not hers. She's never had a husband and...."

"She's protecting you," Ace said.

By Crystal Staley/Scottie Ellis

Frankfort, KY - On Monday, December 6, 2021, Gov. Andy Beshear said as COVID-19 cases rise in Kentucky, across the United States and in many countries throughout the world, families must get vaccinated and boosted to stay safe over the holiday season.

"The great news is, we saw more vaccinations over this last weekend than we have seen in a long time, in every stage of the vaccination process. This is how we fight back against this virus."

Flags to half-staff for National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day

By Crystal Staley/Scottie Ellis

Frankfort, KY - Gov. Andy Beshear has directed that flags at all state office buildings be lowered to half-staff from sunrise to sunset on Tuesday, December 7, 2021, in observance of National Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day on this 80th anniversary of the attack.

This is in memory and honor of the more than 2,400 Americans who died in a surprise attack on the U.S. Naval fleet's Pearl Harbor base in the early-morning hours of Dec. 7, 1941. President Franklin D. Roosevelt declared Dec. 7, 1941, "a day which will live in infamy" and signed the Declaration of War against Japan the following day, Dec. 8.

Gov. Beshear encourages individuals, businesses, organizations and government agencies to join in this tribute. Although flags statewide are already at half-staff in honor of former Senator Bob Dole, Tuesday's flag lowering will also serve to honor those lost in the attack on Pearl Harbor.
