The movie "Amazing Grace" now showing in theaters beautifully relates to the Civil War in that it shows the struggle to end the shipping of slaves to the West on English-owned but US- flagged ships. This movie shows the valiant years-long struggle of Parliamentarian William Wilberforce and his friend Prime Minister William Pitt to convince Parliament to end the pernicious shipping of slaves. Wilberforce, who loses his health in his continuous and frustrating pursuit of his dream to make life better, also worked with animal rights groups, prison reform and the quest for free education. He risked his reputation and was at one point at risk of being called a revolutionary and French sympathizer for his abolitionist activities. What I found so interesting is how the efforts to end slave trading by the English in the late 1700s was actually a prelude to what was to follow in the U.S. in the next century. In fact, 18th century English abolitionists were as maligned as U.S. abolitionist were in the mid-19th century. As in the U.S., English vested interests in the slave trade and West Indies plantation owners stood behind the desire to perpetuate the practice coupled with the fear that the French would quickly step into the trade if the English bowed out. The name "Amazing Grace" relates to the famous song written by Wilberforce's uncle who, in fact, had been the captain of a slave ship but quit after many years because he was haunted by the souls of all the slaves who died on his ships. At the end of the movie the best version of this song I have ever heard is played as further information about Wilberforce is run on the screen. Some top-notch English and Welsh actors appear in the movie. I love period movies with the clothing and customs of the times. But even on top of all that, one learns from the movie how the movement to end slavery started decades before momentum toward ending it dominated debate and spirits in the U.S. It was fascinating to me to see the roots of abolitionism or shall I say the beginning of the end? It was also inspiring to see how much one man and those who supported his cause would sacrifce for what they believed. I highly recommend that anyone who is interested in this aspect of the Civil War...abolitionism...to go see this movie or rent it when it comes out on DVD. |

My son, who is a movie buff, told me that he heard one critic say that Wilberforce's uncle was not, in fact, the repentent slave shipper the movie depicts and he did not write the song"Amazing Grace" because of the sudden epiphany he experienced in regard to the evils of slavery. I cannot vouch for my son's statements because I didn't hear the radio program myself. Furthermore, I haven't done a Google search yet to discover more. Maybe first I just wanted to bask in the inspirational glow of the movie awhile before I discovered that some of the characters were exaggerated or fictional composites or some other theatrical artifice. I want to believe mankind can be remarkable a force for the betterment of all mankind. Last edited on Sat Feb 24th, 2007 04:34 am by CleburneFan |

I found a couple of websites about the author of Amazing Grace http://www.anointedlinks.com/amazing_grace.html http://www.snopes.com/religion/amazing.htm Pretty much all the websites are like the first one quoted above . Snopes questions parts of the story. |

Susan, thanks for those links. The writers certainly do add perspective. As I think back on the movie, I believe the story is essentially as the links say. I did get the impression that Newton had long been repented of his slave trading days, but maybe the movie doesn't actually say that...come to think of it. You know what, the movie is defintely worth seeing twice. It covers so much history, so it would be easy to miss an essential fact or misinterpret some small moment, giving it less or more than it is due. Johan, I do agree Hollywood has a disgraceful habit of twisting history for dramatic effect. It bears attention, however, the director of this movie is the same one who directed the bio-pic "Ray" which earned Jamie Fox an Oscar for Best Actor for his spot on portrayal of Ray Charles. "Amazing Grace" may have taken some liberties in the serivice of drama and time compression of an idea that took decades to grab hold, but I did leave the theater feeling very inspired and not feeling that the movie was typical Hollywood drek. A last note, the movie critic at the Palm Beach Post called this picture a "movie theater version of a HIstory Channel DVD." That is so not true. The acting, alone, is far superior to that of typical History Channel fare. I would put it closer to an excellent HBO histroic drama such asthe recent "Roosevelt at Warm Springs. " By the way, a big shout out to HBO for their absorbing series "Rome." Last edited on Sat Feb 24th, 2007 03:16 pm by CleburneFan |

Fuller E Pluribus Unum
I always look at historical/period movies as a great way to spark an interest. Glory and Dances With Wolves were both in the theatre when I was younger. Both left me feeling captivated and wanting to learn more. We all have rolled our eyes at the many fabrications in Gone With The Wind. (I will admit to watching it at least a half a dozen times though!) Although many inaccuracies can be found in both movies and books, we can see that as an opportunity to search the details out on our own. CleburneFan, Thanks for the review. I'll have to go see it. I see that it is rated PG. Nice to see that all movies don't have to have the gore and language. Fuller |

Fuller you are correct. With that said "Gone With the Wind" actually has some historical facts to it. Margarett Mitchell used Mary A. H. Gay's "Life in Dixie During the War" as a source for GWTW. "Life in Dixie During the War" is one of the few eyewitness accounts of the war written by a women. And a wonderfuil read and Ihighly recomend it. regards, Steven Last edited on Sat Feb 24th, 2007 04:16 pm by Steven Cone |

Steven Cone, I like how you said "some" . When I said books and movies have inaccuracies, I wasn't only speaking of GWTW. I meant in general we can find things to question in the "historical" books and movies. As far as GWTW...I guess it's just the whispy and whiney nature of it that makes me roll my eyes. Then again, that's the style of most of the movies in 1939. Fuller |

Oh I agree GWTW is cheesy at its best.. But it Has sparked a interest in 1000's of folks who more than likely wouldn't have given two thoughts of the period. I will say this and be off the topic of GWTW as this is the Amazing Grace thread. In the scene where Rhett is pushing bonnie in her carriage and Aunt Pity Pat and the other Lady discus his actions at the Battle of Franklin and that he donated a large sum of funds for the beautification of the graves there. Mary A. H. Gay's half brother "Thomie" - Thomas Stokes 10th Texas Infantry was killed during the battle of Franklin and is buried at Carnton. On one of her visits to the cemetery she was disheartened by its appearance and through her efforts raised the funds for the wrought iron fence that still surrounds the cemetery. There is a marker at the entrance telling of donation. Now back to are regularly scheduled program.. Last edited on Sat Feb 24th, 2007 05:46 pm by Steven Cone |

Staging is a way of describing a cancer, such as where it is located, if or where it has spread, and whether it is affecting the functions of other organs in the body. Doctors use diagnostic tests to determine the cancer's stage, so staging may not be complete until all the tests are finished. Knowing the stage helps the doctor to decide what kind of treatment is best and can help predict a patient's prognosis (chance of recovery).
Basal cell and squamous cell rarely spread. On rare occasions, the patient's lymph nodes (tiny, bean-shaped organs that help fight infection) may be removed to determine if the cancer has metastasized. The doctor may perform other tests, including blood tests, chest x-rays, and imaging scans of the liver, bones, and brain, but this is uncommon.

New Moon
- ‹ Previous program
- 273 of 2173
- Next program ›
The Sun has an invisible companion as it moves across the sky today: the new Moon. We can't see the Moon because it's passing between Sun and Earth, so it's immersed in the Sun's intense glare. And even if we could pick it out, there's nothing to see -- it's nighttime on the side of the Moon that's facing our way.
That makes the near side of the Moon -- the same hemisphere that always faces our way """" the dark side. So the side that faces away from us -- what's often called the dark side -- is basking in sunshine.
That side of the Moon gets just as much sunlight as the front. It made sense to call it the "dark" side before the Space Age, when no one had seen it. But astronauts and robotic craft have photographed the farside in detail. We even have good maps of it -- good enough to get you from the Sea of Moscow to the Apollo Basin with a side trip to Jules Verne crater. So while we can still call it the farside, it's not quite right to call it the dark side of the Moon.
There is one way in which it's darker than the side that faces our way, though. Nights on the front side of the Moon are bathed in earthshine -- sunlight reflected off of Earth. In fact, if you were standing on that side of the Moon today, you'd see a full Earth shining dozens of times brighter than a full Moon.
But since the farside faces away from Earth, there's no earthshine to soften the night. So when it's dark on the far side of the Moon, it's really dark.

East Union had a fast start in their Tuesday game against Alcorn Central, but could not hold on, falling in extra innings, 11-10.
Jose Valle and Drew Bruce, who helped lead East Union to second place in the Mississippi 2A Cross Country Championship, signed grants-in-aid with Blue Mountain College on Friday.
The Hawks took Pine Grove to extra innings to earn their first win of the season Friday night.
Myrtle had runners on the corners with no outs in the eighth, and a miscue from catcher to third base brought Sid Beasley home to give the Hawks the 7-6 win.
Bailey Bogue had three hits, including a base-clearing triple in the sixth inning of West Union's 10-5 win over South Pontotoc on Thursday.
Ahead 7-5, Bogue's insurance hit with bases loaded capped the four-hit inning for the Lady Eagles, helping them earn their third win of the season.
The Lady Cougars built an early 4-0 lead after three innings thanks to two doubles from Anna Roberts. Michelle Gregory and Kaitlyn Cox also had RBI hits, and it would take West Union until the bottom of the third to score their first points.
The Region 1-2A All-Division team for boys basketball was recently announced, with several area players selected. Below is the complete regular season and All-Touranment teams:
REGION 1 – 2A AWARDS ~ BOYS Coach of the Year: Jason McKay (Baldwyn) CO-MVP: Reggie Patterson and Dee Gates (Baldwyn) Offensive Player of the Year: Darius Dukes (Ashland) Defensive Player of the Year: Anthony Tucker (Hickory Flat)
Barbara White has spent several years coaching the West Union bowling teams, with the girls picking up a state title in 2008, and the boys falling shy in two of the four years they have participated. The Eagles added to their success in the sport, claiming the first boys' title, defeating defending champion East Union in Baker Style at the state championships last Friday. "We felt after North Half that it would come down to the two of us in the finals, and it's a friendly rivalry, so it was great that it turned out that way," White said.
Myrtle battled from behind on several opportunities, but were unable to come up with one last run, falling to Dexter, 72-68 in the semifinals of the 1A State Tournament in Jackson Friday night.
Down by seven with less than a minute remaining, Robert Montgomery scored four straight points for the Hawks, making it a three-point game, but that is as close as the North Half champions would get.
The Hawks will be the county's first team to play in their State semifinal match-up, taking on the number two seed from the South, Dexter, tonight. The Bulldogs come into the game having lost to Durant in the South State Finals last week and boast a 22-6 record. Led by 6'1 senior Tyler Hart, Dexter had an impressive run in the South State Tournament, knocking off McAdams in the second round along with then undefeated West Lincoln to advance to the State Tournament.
Two schools continued their winning tradition at the State Qualifying Bowling meet last Friday, as West Union girls and East Union boys both earned first place finishes, advancing to the State Championships this week. The Lady Eagles picked up their win in the Baker Style round against Kossuth, as the Lady Aggies led throughout the four games, finishing first with 2,605 to West Union's 2,436.
Monday afternoon, Myrtle head coach Jonathan Ashley was on the phone, working on his schedule for next season. This time last year, he did the same thing, planning several tough opponents in a row to prepare his team for the playoffs.

Michigan basketball recruit Mitch McGary eager to prove critics wrong
What's in a number?
For Mitch McGary, as it turns out, plenty.
After becoming one of the most-ballyhooed Michigan basketball signee since the Fab Five in November, the hulking power forward from Indiana began to hear an awful lot about numbers.
First he was up, then he slid. He lost a star and heard criticism he'd never really experienced before. Initially, he said the numbers game didn't bother him, and was no big deal.
But McGary's a competitor, and, naturally, he wasn't being completely honest.
"I felt like (the criticism) was unfair a little bit," McGary told AnnArbor.com last week. "I was just doing what I was told."
The numbers McGary encountered, of course, revolved around the ever-popular world of recruiting rankings.
Bloomington Herald-Times
When he signed with Michigan last fall, McGary was on top of the star-system world.
A five-star prospect by Rivals, Scout and ESPN.com, McGary was the country's consensus top power forward prospect, and ranked as high as No. 2 overall in America.
When the season and subsequent expectations began, the 6-foot-10, 260-pounder had nowhere to go but down.
"I was top five, then I fell down to top 20," McGary recalled. "They bumped me down because of the game they saw on ESPN. All they saw was me with, like, three points. But I had 15 rebounds.
"And we won."
The game McGary referred to was a January made-for-TV contest featuring his Brewster Academy team, a club featuring six Division I prospects, and the Tilton School -- led by the country's top prospect, Kentucky commit Nerlens Noel.
McGary struggled against Noel, a player dubbed by The New York Times as the best Boston-area prospect since Patrick Ewing.
After going 1-for-8 from the floor against the country's top prep shot-blocker, recruiting analysts began to question McGary's motor, his overall offensive skill level and their own estimation of how impactful a player he may become.
Shortly thereafter, one by one, each service moved him down. Out of the top five, out of the top 20 and out of the fabled five-star status.
"He'll tell you those numbers don't mean anything, but I know it bothered him," McGary's father, Tim McGary, told AnnArbor.com. "I know it did. Because people started to say things and people started to question him as a player, and he doesn't like that.
"But I think he'll use that. And I think it'll make him better."
Maybe it was because of his poor showing on ESPN. Perhaps it was due to his lack of touches on a perimeter-oriented Brewster club, lauded by some as the best prep squad in America. Or, maybe it was the constant bout with plantar fasciitis, a foot affliction that has bothered McGary since the seventh grade.
In any event, McGary will enter his college career a bit less hyped than most originally believed. In fact, he's no longer the highest-rated recruit in Michigan's signing class. That distinction now belongs to Glenn Robinson III -- McGary's former AAU teammate, future roommate and best friend.
And that's all fine. McGary never really liked the spotlight anyway.
"At the offensive end, last season wasn't as good a performance as it could have been," McGary admits. "But I was doing what I was told. I averaged about 10 or 11 rebounds per game, my coach was happy with my performance and we won. A lot. So that's all that really matters.
"It'll be great to be able to come in and fit right away and know that I don't have to force things. I'm not going to force things as much as people might think, I'm going to be a team player and try to help get everyone involved. That's the main thing for me."
McGary's team-first attitude was on display earlier this month during the Nike Hoop Summit all-star event in Portland. Playing alongside some of the best prospects in America (and the world), McGary barely played.
But it didn't matter.
"He didn't play much (in Portland), but he was the first one off the bench whenever there was a good play, jumping up, high-fiving everybody," Tim McGary said. "He's always been a team guy, and he doesn't really seem to care about numbers.
"I used to ask him, ' how many points did you get?' He'd say, 'Dad, I don't know. We won.' That's just how it is with Mitch."
It's only been five months since McGary turned heads by choosing Michigan during a live television broadcast. Plenty has happened since.
McGary's Brewster club won a national championship, he played in various all-star events and he's gotten his first taste of national scrutiny.
In the end, there's only one number McGary cares about these days.
June 25. The day he moves to Ann Arbor to begin his college career.
"I'm ready to get to work," McGary says. "Trey Burke's coming back, I get to play with Glenn and Michigan is just the school for me.
"I'm excited."

National built the Duolian metal-body vintage The tools and materials used for this restora-resonator from 1930 to 1938. What makes tion are available from stewmac.com or a this Duolian different from many others is local hardware store: its frosted Duco crinkle-type finish, in a very #5391 Shop Stand and Guitar Repair Vise rare shade of grey to dark green. This feature #1816 Nut and Saddle Vise makes the restoration that much more plea- #4167 Glue Brush surable. It'll be good to have this guitar fit for #4199 Mixing Cup human hands to play again. #5174 Slow Setting Clear Epoxy
#3721 Small Cam Clamps Extra Strength Stripper
Dental pick/Dental scraper tools
1933 Duolian Specs: Steel Body with rolled-edge f-holes Single convex 9. 5" diameter cone Wooden maple biscuit and saddle Nickel-plated tailpiece Ebonized maple fingerboard with no binding Fingerboard radius 10", gradually flattening to 15" Total of 19 frets, 12 frets clear of the body Mahogany round "C" neck Slotted peghead stamped NATIONAL DUOLIAN
Headstock Rebuild It was very important to remove all of the epoxy from the previous repair so that I could get a strong and proper fit, ensuring that the wood would not come apart again.
Stamped on peghead top is:C 666 0MADE IN USAPAT.1808756OTHER PAT.PEND.
Clearly, the bass tuner side of the headstock needs to be repaired. This will be the second time. You can see it had previous epoxy slapped on everywhere, which is finally weakening and coming loose. I could tell by observing the gluing surface of both pieces that there was no pressure applied in the gluing process to help create a tighter, stronger glue joint. The glue was applied kind of like thick frosting on a cake.
What seems to work best for removing weak epoxy is extra-strength stripper, which I normally use for removing finishes. I carefully apply the stripper with a glue brush until I can see it begin to react. I use my smaller flexible spatula with dental tools and gracefully shovel out the old unwanted glue, but without alter-ing any of the wooden foundation, removing one layer at a time. As you see in the picture I'm securing the neck with my Shopstand and Guitar Repair Vise. The Nut and Saddle Vise works well for gripping and holding the smaller two pieces of wood while removing the old glue. Note: keep a small cup of water and a Q-tip near by, so that if the stripper goes in an area where you had not planned, a quick dab of water and wipe from the Q-tip on the surface will deactivate the stripper.
At the fingerboard extension there is a 9" crack with a 1/16" wide gap. This area has never had any previous repair done to it. It appears that one of three screws used to secure the fingerboard to the metal body, hiding under the upper last fingerboard dot, has caused or at least encouraged the fingerboard to crack.
Body Corrosion
This instrument has been kept in a very moist atmosphere for some time, and the steel body will need some mild cleaning and conditioning. Care must be taken to avoid distorting the frosted Duco finish.
Now that all of the epoxy is removed we're ready to put the three pieces together and check the fit. Overall, the fit is looking good, considering that there are small to medium slivers of missing wood. We'll go back to address those later, after the first stage of gluing is completed.
We're now ready to dry assemble using clamps. It takes a few tries clamping up the side wall of the headstock to get all three separate pieces to sit right for the final fit. I really want to have this part down before mixing my glue, slow-setting clear epoxy. I'm using a variety of non-stick 4-1/2" plastic clamping cauls to tidy everything up.
We will be addressing final stages of the headstock rebuild, fingerboard crack and body corrosion in next month's "Restoring an Original."

Senior, Political Science
I had a wonderful time in La Rioja, Spain. I've always wanted to travel to Spain for vacation, but I never thought I'd actually attend a school there. The thought of being in Europe for the first time excited me. One of the differences about Spain and New York are the mountains. They're so beautiful and I actually got to climb one. Well, it wasn't exactly a mountain but when we got to the top, it was like we were on top of the world. The beaches were amazing, the food was delicious. I had the best Paella and arroz con leche. Another plate that I enjoyed was Tortillas con Patatas. Now these aren't the tortilla chips we see in the chip aisle, these are baked potatoes cooked with eggs that can be eaten with ham, cheese, or bacon. This is called a Tapa, which is a small portion of food that is very inexpensive and is usually served with wine. I had tapas almost every night. We went to wine bodegas and some of them were even in caves!
Since I have a passion for learning the Spanish language and culture, I thought that actually living there and attending school there would better my Spanish speaking skills. Also, it's such a great opportunity to appreciate other ways of living outside of the United States. I also would like to continue my education in international studies. So learning firsthand about Spain and their policies was quite an experience.

January 17, 2011

Ark. legislature overrides abortion ban veto
The Center for Reproductive Rights and the ACLU of Arkansas say they will challenge in federal court a state ban on abortions after 12 weeks of pregnancy.
Gov. Mike Beebe, a Democrat, vetoed the bill Monday, saying it "blatantly contradicts the United States Constitution, as interpreted by the Supreme Court."
However, the Arkansas Senate voted 20-14 Tuesday to override the veto, and the House followed suit Wednesday with a 56-33 override vote.
"We intend to make it ... clear that no one's constitutional rights are subject to revision by lawmakers intent on scoring political points, and that attempts such as this to turn back the clock on reproductive rights will not stand," Nancy Northup, president and CEO of the Center for Reproductive Rights, said in a written statement.

Michelle Obama unveils White House Christmas decor Did retailers shoot themselves in the foot? U.S. retailers offered holiday discounts in early November and opened stores on Thanksgiving Day to attract more shoppers. Those tactics drew bigger crowds, but they didn't motivate Americans to spend. A record 248 million people are expected to shop in stores and online over the four-day Thanksgiving weekend that ends Sunday, up from last year's 247 million, according to the National Retail Federation. But total spending is expected to fall for the first time ever since the retail group started tracking it in 2006. Over the four-day weekend, spending is estimated to reach $57.4 billion, down 2.9 percent from last year. The group says earlier discounts led Americans to shop before the weekend and be more cautious about spending. © 2013 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

They acted like Celtics the other night. There's no higher compliment than that. Disappointed? Sure. I had watched that epic Game 2 as a fan, just as you did. There was none of that phony-baloney I'm-a-writer-and-I-just-root for-the-story pomposity. I wanted the Celtics to win, and not solely because it would have made the Eastern Conference finals a real series. Who doesn't know that 1-1 coming back home is a whole lot better than being 0-2?

With four new hires in June, Santa Rosa County has a full compliment of lifeguards on Navarre Beach.
"The beach has had larger crowds this year so we hired one more guard this year. The last one brought the total to 13," said Beach Supervisor Terry Wallace.
The county recently hired two replacement guards when Ryan Johnson left for flight school and Ryan Oberhausen left to attend dental school in Kentucky.
For the complete story, see the July 12 issue of Navarre Press or subscribe online.

First, we taped the baseboards and measured out the stripes. I was completely inspired by the trash can. I kept the base paint color the same (Monarch Summer Suede) and painted the stripes using BEHR's Pearlescent Gold Veil. (pictured above)
Here's picture of the BEHR's Pearlescent Gold Veil that I used for the stripes. It was so easy to paint on.
I copied the images on the hand towels and traced then painted them onto canvas boards from Hobby Lobby. I orderd vinyl lettering for the words. When I was finished, they looked too plain. So I edged the canvases in black ribbon, which gave it a framed look.
I was inspired by these towels & accessories at Bed Bath & Beyond. After I paiinted the stripes, I added a chair rail and painted it black. Then I also painted the baseboads black to match.
I then spray painted the iron towel rack and soap holder black.
I used the iron from my banister as the design for the wall. I just traced it onto a posterboard, cut it out, then used it to draw the design onto the wall.
I LOVE how it turned out. It matches my home but brings so much personality and flair into such a small space.

Natives in Your Garden
California native plants for your specific garden needs:
Not every plant will prosper in full sun. Not every plant is used by our native (and very demanding!) hummingbirds. How do you choose the right plant for the spot you have in mind? How do you choose plants which will encourage the wildlife you long to see in your yard?
SBBG is compiling resources and information to help you make these decisions and many more relating to the joy of gardening with native plants. Be sure to check this page regularly for updated information as we begin building this resource to help you with your native California garden needs. Materials will include many horticultural publications created over the years here at the Garden.
Are your specific questions not covered here? Feel free to contact us for expert advice from the Garden Growers Nursery!

Pests...and homegrown solutions
No plant is completely immune to pests or disease. While CA natives are often trouble-free (especially when compared to the non-native landscape plants often planted in southern California) there are some common problems faced by many gardeners. Look here for descriptions of these problems and to find some simple, benign solutions.
Finding Plants for the Right Location
Coming Soon...in a cooperative agreement with Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, we are building a plant finder function to allow you to set certain search parameters (such as height, flower color, exposure requirements, drought tolerance, etc.) and receive a list of suggestions from among over 5000 CA natives.

Members of my staff who attended the recent burial of Staff Sgt. Bryan E. Bolander in Hopkinsville say the event played out in sound.
The roar of motorcycles as Patriot Guard Riders escorted the hearse to Kentucky Veterans Cemetery West.
The cadence of boots on pavement as a contingent from the 101st Airborne Division marched their brethren's coffin to the committal shelter.
A church outing turned tragic for members of the Radcliff First Assembly of God when 27 lives were lost on that fateful night of Saturday, May 14, 1988. They will never be forgotten.

A prayer for the innocent
Gov. Steve Beshear proclaimed May 1 as "Day of Prayer in Kentucky." Thank you, Governor. If I may, here is a prayer for the most innocent among us.
"Jesus, I plead your blood over my sins and the sins of my nation. God end abortion and send revival to America."
ISSUE: Primary Election Day
OUR VIEW: Ho-hum. Why vote?
Why vote today, you say?
Barack Obama, who basically has ignored Kentucky in his bid for the Democratic nomination for president, leads Hillary Rodham Clinton with 1,905 of the 2,026 delegates needed. She has 1,719. Mathematically, there does not seem to be any way Clinton can win the nomination. Maybe.
Unsubstantiated rumor mongering
I was greatly disappointed in the printing of Bonnie Erbe's column "End the mistreatment of race horses" May 8 in The News-Enterprise. Her column was chock-full of horror stories depicting the worst sorts of cruelty to horses imaginable. None were documented. None correspond with my own personal knowledge of pleasure and race horses. Kentucky is horse country. The News-Enterprise should apologize to horse owners everywhere for its implicit endorsement of Bonnie Erbe's slander.
If the odds-makers really know what they are talking about there's little doubt of the outcome when 13 high-strung, athletic thoroughbreds lunge from the starting gate at Pimlico shortly after 6 p. m. Saturday. Odds are 1-2 that Kentucky Derby winner Big Brown will run away with the race.
Nevertheless, breeders, owners, racing fans, even critics, will be holding their breath anxiously the ensuing 2 minutes lest another fatal equine tragedy befall one of Kentucky's signature industries.
Did we learn nothing from tragedy?
Wednesday morning I had the opportunity to see Harold "Bubba" Dennis on Montel Williams' show talking about his experience during the fatal Carrollton bus crash 20 years ago this month.
Since I grew up here I remembered how hard this drinking-and-driving crash struck our community. That same crash is the worst drunken driving accident in U.S. history.
Among its pitiful list of failings this year, the Kentucky General Assembly left Frankfort last month without clarifying the state's laissez faire city classification system, which has caused an uproar the last year in Elizabethtown.
The House, at the urging of Rep. Jimmie Lee, D-Elizabethtown, unanimously approved a resolution to create a task force of lawmakers, residents and municipal officials to study the controversy. But Senate Republicans weren't interested in taking up such a taxing issue.
Think about the future
In the April 13 edition of The News-Enterprise, there was an article titled, "Yarmuth blames Iraq for economy." I think that statement is only partially correct and I can agree in a limited way with his statement.
The toll of American deaths in Iraq reached a milestone Monday: 4,000. The number is a fraction of the losses from other protracted wars, but is higher than the nation expected.
In May 2003 when major combat actions were declared completed, the nation collectively wiped its brow and thought, "Whew. Thank God casualties were relatively few."
"What are you doing?" I asked my niece, my face a little squished and I a little unsure I wanted to hear the answer. With her 3-year-old grip — the kind of grip you can only undo by prying each finger away, one at a time — she clutched the back of my neck in her hand and pressed my cheek close to hers.
She pulled away — only inches — and blinked.
Justice or justification
ISSUE: Delicate balance of justice
OUR VIEW: Remark was in error
The pursuit of justice is a delicate process at best. That's why the symbolic Lady Justice is depicted holding a set of scales. A felony assault trial last week in Hardin Circuit Court illustrates the sensitive nature of pursuing truth.
I remember as a child that I loved Mother's Day.
It never ranked higher than Christmas or my birthday for obvious reasons, but the element of surprise that I could spring on my unsuspecting mother was pretty cool.
Usually what she would get on Mother's Day is something we would put together during school and I would have to make sure I hid the card or the plant somewhere in my room where I knew she wouldn't see it until Mother's Day.
If she had ever sneaked a peek at one of those gifts, she never told me.
People should be held accountable for actions
My daughter attends John Hardin High School and my son is about ready to enter high school. I was appalled when reading the article about the JHHS principal, but I was more disturbed at the formal statement released.To me, this downplayed the whole incident. I am also curious as to who drafted the statement and why the name of the person making the statement was not cited.
I want to thank Commissioners Garry King, Bill Hayes, and Bill Brandenburg for removing the $12.5 million "placeholder" from the county's budget. They acted responsibly to not only serve all the county's citizens but to effectively use our financial resources. This issue has become so divisive that it should be put on hold. Perhaps in a few years and in a better economic climate the Commission as a whole can re-visit it.
Betty Hilliard
This is hard for me because I do not like to call myself a victim. But I am a victim of drinking and driving.
While my life has been very full and blessed, I am happy to say I have five wonderful children, an awesome husband and a happy life. But not a day goes by that I do not look in the mirror and see May 14, 1988 all over again.
I have overcome obstacles that I never thought I would have done. Let me share a few.
ISSUE: City classification
OUR VIEW: Clarification needed
Among its pitiful list of failings this year, the Kentucky General Assembly left Frankfort last month without clarifying the state's laissez faire city classification system, which has caused such an uproar the last year in Elizabethtown.
ISSUE: Kentucky primary election
OUR VIEW: Political spotlight shifts
Finally, after patiently enduring four and a half months of presidential debates, analyses, and hyperbolic, Armageddon-like headlines before and after endless primary elections and caucuses, Kentucky voters, at least Democrats, get to have their say.
This time, for a change, the rest of the nation is likely to pay some attention to the late-in-the-political-season state primary election.
"Keeping your eye on the ball"
It is quite disturbing that the lack of proper focus in today's politics has reached a local level.
In the April 30 The News-Enterprise there was an article about the proposed $12 to $13 million for a new government building. Recently, Elizabethtown created a new tax to fund a sports complex spending mllions of dollars.
Stop the blame game
I read an article where U.S. Sen. Mitch McConnell said Democrats had blocked all efforts to open up domestic opportunities to help with the oil/gas problem.Well, here we go with the blame game. I, for one, am not interested in who hit whom and who did not. This problem just didn't happen and it is the fault of our leaders.

In the last few years the US "Greenback" has seen some substantial changes. The notes have been redesigned and -whilst keeping a certain amount of green on the back – now come in a whole host of colours.
However, the $5 and $100 bills have yet to be changed. All this will change when early next year a new $5 bill will be unveiled and the $100 bill is scheduled to be redesigned late 2008.
The new $5 incorporates purple and grey colouring and has new security features. The $100 bill which makes up 70% of the $776 billion of currency in circulation (2/3′s of which is held overseas) is getting an extra effort in the redesign process which will include 650,000 microlenses which give the appearance of the note shimmering in the opposite direction when moved.
All of this may be exciting to notaphilists but it is important for tourists to accustom theirselves with the new note designs. At present the $1 bill will not be changing design as it is not a target for fraudsters – it has had the same design since 1963.
Check out the links below to the new pastel coloured US notes!
