While traveling through the Badlands in
South Dakota we spotted a familiar license
plate. We waited for the occupants to return
to their car and Dave got this picture. Unfortunately, we didn’t get their names, but they
were from Morehead. It’s truly a small world.

The Beauty of the USA
The scenery in the Black Hills of South Dakota is breathtaking. The different colors in
the rocks signify different time periods in
history. Lots of dinosaurs were found here.

Mt. Sterling-Montgomery County’s Small
Town America Weekend
A
rts and crafts are a big part of the “Small Town America
Festival” held annually in Montgomery County, Kentucky.
And Mt. Sterling’s Small Town America Weekend has been
awarded honorable mention in the Kentucky Tourism Council’s
2009 Summer Top 10 Festivals and Events recognition.
The Small Town America Weekend was inspired by a song
written by Mt. Sterling native Jeff Vice. In the song and accompanying music video, he reflects on small town life and pays homage to Mt. Sterling High School and the Trojan football team.
The festival is entering its third year. The two-day event
planned this year for Saturday and Sunday, Aug. 15-16, has to offer something for the entire family. Start off with the Pump and
Run fitness contest or perhaps the 5k race on Saturday morning.
Afterward, take a trip down memory lane at the Special Olympics car show or shop at the arts and crafts festival on the courthouse square.
The arts and crafts festival begins at 10 a.m. and last until 4
p.m. when a community talent showcase will be held. The talent
show is fun entertainment and gives one lucky winner a chance
to record their first hit in a professional recording studio. Native, Jeff Vice will head up the judging at the showcase that will
include categories for music and other talent. Original music is
being encouraged. And that’s just Saturday.
On Sunday it’s the Fly-In Breakfast at the Mt. Sterling Airport where you can enjoy a delicious breakfast and get up close to
antique airplanes or take an airplane ride. There are free hot air
balloon rides too!
A Lexington, Kentucky businessman has bought the property and will be restoring the structure. It is the happy ending to
a wonderful story about life in “Small Town America-Mt.Sterling.
Where memories still live and the future holds promise.

Our westward
safari
We made the trip, long as it was, it’s over and we made it back to the great Commonwealth of Kentucky in one piece. Of course, it’s taken about a week to get our bodies
adjusted to yet another time change. But that’s part of the trade-off to visit our family and friends in Idaho and Washington State.
Dave wrote a little story about our journey, so I won’t get in to much of it. Other
than the animals. Yes, we saw lots of animals during our journey, it almost felt like a
safari. Although I’ve never been on a safari, so I guess I should equate it to that. We
saw lots of different critters along the way. Unfortunately, quite a few were already
dead alongside the interstate, so they weren’t all that identifiable. From the looks of
some of the semi bumpers, it’s no wonder these poor critters were demolished to the
point of no recognition.
Throughout South Dakota, of course, we saw lots of antelope and deer. Actually, we
saw even more once we hit Montana! We drove across Montana a completely different way than we’ve ever gone, so it was a nice change. It takes forever to get across
that state, so the change of scenery was welcomed. I highly recommend Highway 200
if you are ever out that way.
Buffalo that we saw near the Devil’s Tower in Wyoming.
Once we finally hit Lolo Pass, that’s when we got to see the momma moose and her baby. What
a beautiful sight. Of course, I kept reminding Dave not to get too close. He tried getting a little
close to a moose in Alaska one time and I got pictures of it chasing him back across the road.
This one was only worried about food. It’s was almost nighttime, so she was feeding and didn’t
pay Dave much attention.
ALL THINGS COUNTRY
Once he got back in the car and we journeyed on, it was almost the very next corner that presented us with a Bull Moose standing square in the road. Of course, it didn’t stay there long
enough for a picture. But we saw bullwinkle just the same! And on our way home, we got to see
a buffalo and prairie dogs. Made us just want to get home to our animals all that more!
We had a wonderful time once we arrived at our destination. Of course, visiting with the
grandkidlet is sure tough! Yeah, right! We couldn’t get enough of her. And of course, caught
up with friends and family that we hadn’t seen in years. It’s now time for some of those same
friends to venture to Kentucky for a visit. We can’t wait!
Until next month! Pam

Research is behind the
Kentucky Ag Heritage
Center’s sustainable design
T
he Kentucky Agriculture Heritage Center, located in Harrodsburg, has taken another
step toward breaking ground on the sustainable facility set to showcase Kentucky’s agricultural past, present and future. In June, the Belcan design team behind the Center’s
sustainable focus began taking readings from the wind tower set to monitor the potential for
wind power at the site.
“It is exciting to be at this stage in the development,” said Mike Pillman, a Belcan architect
working on the Center project. “Green design is a whole new venture for Belcan. We work with
a myriad of industries internationally, but it is exciting to be moving in this direction with a
project here in Kentucky.”
Belcan has been working with the KAHC Board for over two years on the design and the development of this historic site. The first step in the process was to take the ideas of the Board
and leaders in the agriculture community and bring them together in a conceptual design. As a
leader in cutting edge technology, Belcan’s design team saw the potential to incorporate green
design as the core of the project.
“Agriculture at its core is about sustainability and living off the land,” said Virginia Flanagan,
the Executive Director of the KAHC. “Belcan tied these basic agriculture concepts to the focus
of the design, and the Board saw the potential for creating a one of a kind sustainable Center
to showcase Kentucky agriculture.”
ALL THINGS COUNTRY
The Belcan team knew that in designing a facility of this scale it wouldn’t be possible for a single
source of renewable energy to power the entire operation, so they decided to take the resources
available at the site and pull them together.
Belcan is partnering with Dovetail, a firm based out of Athens, Ohio, to measure the available
wind power at the site of the Center. A monitoring tower was installed by the Belcan and Dovetail teams in early spring, and over the last few months the monitors have been gathering wind,
temperature, and other useful data from the site.
“What we are doing at this phase is showing everyone how to get data off the wind tower,”
said Daniel Young of Dovetail when the team met in late June. “What this tower is doing is
measuring wind speed at different heights and temperature and wind direction so that we can
take that and take it back to the office so we can analyze it and see what kind of energy we have
stored here on the site in the form of wind.”
The hope from Belcan and Dovetail is that there will be enough wind to warrant having large
scale wind turbines on the site to provide a strong source of renewable energy. Wind turbines,
along with solar power and geothermal energy, are the trifecta the Belcan engineers are betting on to make the Center’s facilities not only self sustaining, but hopefully producing enough
energy in the future to feed back into the grid.
“I think that is really great for the state of Kentucky to showcase green technology and the
potential for renewable energy,: said Beth Hunter, Belcan’s Certified LEED architect. “I think
when you can actually showcase green design and speak to the community, advertise for sustainability; it is a great way to reach out show you care about the environment.”
The Kentucky Agricultural Council’s Agri-Energy Committee held their June meeting at the
KAHC headquarters in Harrodsburg on the day the Belcan team was on location downloading the first round of data from the wind tower monitors. KAHC Board members and Belcan
engineers attended the committee meeting and were given an opportunity to share with the
committee the green design plans for the Center and the progress being made on the wind and
other renewable energy research at the site location.
“We want people in the state to realize that the Kentucky Agriculture Heritage Center is much
more than just a building,” explained Flanagan. “What we are working towards is creating a sustainable center that incorporates the available resources of the land to power the operations,
while also conserving the natural resources that are needed to make this a working farm.”

nstances of late blight on tomatoes recently were found in Laurel and Larue counties and
could be more widespread. Kentucky vegetable growers should regularly scout their potato
and tomato plants for this disease, said Kenny Seebold, Extension plant pathologist in the
University of Kentucky College of Agriculture.
The recent finds of late blight are atypical in Kentucky, where the disease is rarely found.
When the disease is present in the state, it usually occurs later in the growing season. Late
blight can devastate crops given the right conditions of cool, wet weather. “This disease looks
a lot different than what growers are used to seeing,” Seebold said. “Leaves of infected plants
will die and wither quickly. Unlike most diseases, which begin at the bottom of the plant and
spread upward, this disease can infect the whole plant or begin at the top of the plant.”
It is unknown how the disease came into the state; however, late blight is widespread on
potatoes and tomatoes throughout the Northeast this year. The disease in that area was traced
back to a transplant supplier of several major gardening centers. It is possible Kentucky gardeners purchased transplants from the same supplier or the pathogen traveled to Kentucky from
infected areas.
“We do know that we have experienced multiple spells of cool, wet weather recently that
would have been ideal for late blight development,” Seebold said. In addition to scouting, growers may want to apply preventive applications of fungicides containing either chlorothalonil or
mancozeb. “These fungicides will function well, unless we hit long periods of late blight-favorable weather, or if the disease is active in a field. In these cases, we’ll need something stronger,”
he said.
Growers who suspect late blight or see anything out of the ordinary on their plants to
bring samples to their local Extension office for UK plant pathologists to diagnose.

C
indi Cusick moved to Estill County over 10 years ago from Greenpoint, Brooklyn. She
settled on 27 acres on Sandhill where she lives with her husband, Scott. When she moved
to Estill, she was a freelance graphic designer and worked briefly at a local newspaper doing layout and design until she decided to return to school to pursue her love of fine art. She
recently graduated from Eastern Kentucky University with a Bachelor’s of Fine Art in Ceramics
and Metalsmithing. She sells fine art work as well as functional pottery and jewelry. Her pieces
are in collections nationally and internationally. Cindi had worked with Teresa Covey and Sandy
Johnson at a local veterinarian in the past. She jumped at the chance to help her friends on
their new business venture in Ravenna by painting the large window sign. Some of her early
pottery work is also available for sale inside Companion’s Corner.

Tag Teamed
After Twenty Years
As usual, I’m looking back
that’s how life is with me,
This morning I was thinking
About the way things used to be.
Guess my old body’s wearing out
Folks told me that it would,
And now my hearing’s not that great
And my eyes are not that good.
There’s many tunes that I have played
And songs that I have sung,
Now I write poems about how youth
Is wasted on the young.
My bones and joints remind me
Of the slightest chance of rain,
They always let me know each time
A front is moving in.
And now I’m being tag teamed
And it doesn’t seem quite fair,
They knew that I would be along
So they’ve been waiting there.
I’ve dealt with many folks in life
And things turned out just fine,
But I cant beat mother Nature
And I can’t beat , Father Time.
Bobby Hedge, 2009

And the years go by so fast ,

But twenty years have past.

To see the promised land ,

How To Determine The
Price Of Your Home
By: Traci Dean, REALTOR
If a home is overpriced, buyers will stay away. But, if the price is competitive with similar
homes in the area and “shows” better than the competition, it will have a better chance of being
sold quickly.
The secret is perfecting a technique that’s as American as apple pie: comparative shopping.
Although comparing houses with different styles, square-footages and locations is challenging, real estate professionals still feel it’s one of the best methods to use when determining
a home’s market value.
A responsible real estate agent will effectively evaluate a home’s worth through a process
known as Comparative Marketing Analysis (CMA). Taking a look at assets, such as a swimming
pool, bigger than normal living spaces, a fantastic view, adjacent city parks and other attrac-

rooms and family room down there. Energy saving lights & on demand hot water
heater. 14x16 sunroom addition. must
see. MLS# R34614A
Another good benchmark is to review the selling prices of homes that have just been sold
and are pending closes. Most MLS services provide information on deals pending that most
real estate agents should be able to shore with you.
A good rule of thumb before setting a price is to make 20 comparisons of comparable
properties within a one-mile radius of your house. Once completed you can feel comfortable
that the price you’ve picked is a good gauge of the home’s worth and won’t discourage qualified
buyers.
Being open and honest about what you see as the home’s greatest strengths and biggest
weaknesses will also help an agent get a better feel for how to best evaluate (or assess) and
market your home. Think of your home as if you were the buyer. If your home is listed at the
right price, you’re well on your way to a speedy and fruitful sale.

The best comparisons can be made with similar homes that have been sold within the
last 45 days as opposed to the standard six months. Any longer and other factors, such as the

Typically, people should check with real estate offices in the community to determine the typical duration that listings are on the market. Sales associates will explain that the marketing
“norms” vary with prices and properties. Based on this criteria, the agent feels confident that
he or she will be able to sell it for a price that both you and the buyer will be happy with. However, if you’re under time constraints because of unexpected job changes or moving agreements
you’ve made on another property, this will narrow your chances of selling the home for top
dollar in the market.
Assuming you have sufficient time to market the home, here are a few small steps you and
your agent can take to finding the right price for your property.
Why is it that some homes sit on the market for a year while others sell like hot cakes?
Frustrated sellers will blame a bad market, while a good real estate professional will tell you
that many times, a slow sale is often attributed to the listing price.

However, factors such as the amount of time needed to sell your home can alter the agent’s
price recommendation dramatically.

Racing
know ... rain, rain, go away. That’s about all you hear at the track. The last two weeks I was
on vacation so I missed the Hillbilly Showdown and the V-Twin Race for the bikes. I was
told by good sources that the rain was hit and miss, But events went on as scheduled and
a great time was had by everyone. You can see all the results on the web at mpdragway.com.
The next big event will be Aug 15th. The jet cars and fireworks show will be fantastic. The
leftover fireworks from the fourth will be shot off along with what was purchased for this
race already, so it should be some of the best. I do have some pictures from the first part of
July that will have to do for now. I also slipped in a couple of photos that I took in Sturgis,
South Dakota. We were there ona Tuesday, as they were setting up for their big event. The
place was buzzing with excitement and all the concerts that were scheduled would make your
head spin trying to figure out which one to go to.
So with that, I hope to see you at the track! Let’s all pray for sunshine....

The Feldenkrais Method®
S
& Hand-diPPed ice cReam
Sarah Hart invites you to attend a special event…
Saturday, September 26, 2009 • 1:30 to 4:30 p.m.
arah Hart, proprietor of HART and SOLE, continues to share her vision for a DESTINATION HEALING-ARTS RETREAT CENTER overlooking the Kentucky River in Estill
County. She invites the community to attend a half-day workshop on September 26 which
promises participants a relaxing afternoon of gentle movement drawn from the Feldenkrais
Method of Somatic Education.® Participants will learn new things about their bodies and their
movement, and go away feeling more freedom to move, with improved posture and fewer aches
and pains.
The Feldenkrais Method is based on recent findings in neuroscience, biomechanics, and
psychology. Crafted over a 40-year period by scientist Dr. Moshe Feldenkrais, this highly respected mind-body method delivers heightened awareness and greater freedom to your movement, thinking, sensing and feeling. Its success rests on a simple but profound idea about human beings: We can learn to move, and we can move in order to learn.
The presenter is Meriah Kruse, B.A., Guild Certified Feldenkrais Practitioner®. She has
been prescribing movement as ‘the cure for what ails you’ for 25 years, working with tens of
thousands of Kentuckians, including children, teachers, elders, football players, and wheelchair athletes. Her company, Be Free to Move, located in Lexington, KY, specializes in teaching
women ages 45 – 75 how to slow down the aging process through movement re-education and
therapeutic bodywork.
ALL THINGS COUNTRY
In describing the Feldenkrais Method, Kruse says, “My daddy was a pharmacist in a tiny
county in western Kentucky, so I grew up thinking most problems of body and mind could be
solved by a prescription for some kind of medicine. It took many years of study, practice and
observation for me to learn that there is also a ‘prescription’ for each person – MOVEMENT
prescription – that can contribute to great healing of body and mind. And the wonderful thing
is that this kind of prescription is fun to do, feels good, and doesn’t have any deadly side effects.”
All adults are welcome; space is limited. The cost for the workshop is $55, and pre-registration is required by September 15.
For more information about Hart and Sole and to register for this class, contact Sarah
Hart at 6405 Old Landing Road, Irvine, KY 40336; call her at (606) 723-9678; or email her at:

By Dave Severson
P
am & I departed on a Saturday evening for a drive across the states to Idaho. Yes, I said
Idaho - a small 2250 one way trip. I know that they now have planes that fly that far and
we could be there in about 12 hrs instead of the 2-1/2 days it took to drive, but not only
did we have a load of stuff coming back [Pam inherited some items when her grandma passed
in February of this year].
So off we go. I do believe it was 6pm when we left. By 6:15 we were asking ‘did you pack
this,’ ‘did you pack that,’ ‘did you get this remember that.’ Yes, got it - yes, got that ... all the way
to Winchester. Okay, so we have everything we need. Now we start to worry about the dogs we
left behind with the folks to watch over, the gardens we are sure will be giving all the veggies
the folks can handle. You see when you live on a farm, it’s hard to just up and leave. We spent
endless hours planning and getting everything done before we left. Lawn was mowed, gardens
picked......etc.
No more worrying
about all this, we are on
vacation! By now we are
through Cincinnati and on
our way to Indy. The miles
were clicking off and we
were making good time
so far. Our first stop was
to visit with an old friend
and co-worker who now
lives in Indianapolis.
We reached our goal, so now comes the rest right? We are on vacation, are we not? Well,
like most of us, when we get there it’s go go go. Visit everyone you can. First stop - David &
Teresa Cole’s house or as we refer to it, Camp Cole. They have been long time friends of ours.
They always make special meals and entertain us or maybe it is us who entertain them. At any
rate we enjoy each others company and stay in touch throughout the year. [Hopefully they will
come visit this year.] We then settle in for the first of a planned 5 day stay with a class reunion,
family reunion, Jocelyn our granddaughter, our daughter’s new home to visit and plant flowers
for her, long list of other odds and ends. Like I said before, a car load of family gifts to pack....
this isn’t a vacation - it a marathon of run here, run there.
We must say we had fun seeing all our former classmates. The reconnection started
months before on Facebook, so seeing them in person was great, talking about our high school
days, seeing old pictures, even some of our favorite teachers were there......and I thought I was
old.....oops!! Hope they don’t read this. We also enjoyed a family & friends reunion - it was good
seeing everyone. Most we haven’t seen in two years so lots of catching up was done and lots of
pictures taken. [They can be seen on Pam’s facebook page]
We spoiled our little red head with a swing and picnic table for her new back yard and
planted flowers for Jennifer & Nick along their walkway. Of course, we took Jocelyn to eat at
all my favorite places and Pam managed to take her to the water park while I went visiting on
my own. We managed to see most everyone and was sitting having breakfast with friends and
family on Sunday before we new it the week had gone and we had to leave.
We pulled out of Camp Cole with tears in our eyes, it was almost 9pm and we were going
to lose time all the way home. I gassed up the car and we headed back to Montana the same way
we came over the pass and through the woods to Kentucky we go.
We managed to get a picture of the four of us, good friends David
and Teresa Cole, along with Pam and myself. I think it’s one of the
only pictures I can recall of the four of us together.
We drove until early morning, stopping in a rest area in Minnesota and sleeping for a
couple hours. We woke up to nice sunshine and a crisp, cool air we had not felt in a while, we
know we are not in Kentucky anymore as there is no humidity. We depart the rest area and
drive late into the night. With time changes and all, we made it to Montana by 10 pm Sunday
night. We checked into a local motel in Glendive, Mont. We both slept good but woke up early. I
think by 5am, we had our coffee and donut, and had loaded the car. Off we go by 6am, heading
west. Montana is a large state compared to the ones we drove across the previous night. We had
been judging our progress by the states we conquered. We spent all day just to get across this
extra large state, I was riding so I now am look out for animals.
Yes, we have a way of making time go by faster looking for all the wild game you see out in
the wild west. Oh, and the rain storm we followed was a great sight for us. The poor bikers that
were in front of us were not so lucky. You see, we caught that rain storm out on the open flats
between towns [oh yeah, towns are few and far between out here.] The wind and rain came and
the two bikers in front of us were getting pelted with large rain drops, the wind blowing hard
and then add a semi truck coming at you at 70-mph. Well, you get the picture: the wind off the
truck along with all the water he was boiling up hit the bikers straight in their faces. The first
one was handling it well, the second one not so well, The second rider almost went down several
times and Pam kept saying if they would stop she was going to let them in our car to get them
out of the rain. We were coming to a town and they pulled off under a gas station canopy, luck
was on there side as the rain was coming down. They looked like drowned rats! Glad to be in

We drove back to the
interstate and to Sturgis we The Devil’s Tower from a distance. It was hard to see once we
went. The big biker party was got up close, as the sun was going down behind it and we were
starting on the weekend so blinded!
we seen alot of the vendors
setting up. After about a hour of driving around Sturgis we finally headed out. We stopped in
Jackson, Minnesota for the night. We caught up on some much needed sleep, but realized that
we still had 900 miles to go! So up early and off we went, the rest of our trip was uneventful
although 14 hours the last day
was a little much. We arrived
back home after 12 days of fun
and a few dollars less in the
pocket but safe. The last few
miles was spent talking about
all the work we had in front of
us as we pulled in the drive. I
knew the dogs would be happy
to see us along with Clayton,
Carol & Ruthie would be happy
too.

Made right here in the Heart of Kentucky!
We made it as far as Lolo Pass the long winding road and the endless days had added up and
I needed sleep. We slept for 4hrs on top of the mountain in the car and again, woke to a crisp
48 degrees and grabbed for a sweater. We were loaded down with some bulky stuff so the seats
didn’t recline as far as they did coming out and I knew this was not going to work. We drove
most of the day trough road construction and that slowed our progress. We were almost to the
Wyoming border when we came along more road construction. The flagger told us it was a 30
minute wait or we could take this short little detour. Well, we looked at the map and saw that
their detour took you past the Devils Tower and back to Interstate 90. So we were off. The Devils
Tower is a large rock jetting out of nowhere, it’s a awesome sight. Although we got there as the
sun was right behind this huge rock, we still managed to get some great shots of it. We stopped
in Spearfish, South Dakota for the night. The next morning we got up and drove through the
Badlands. What a sight it must of been to early travelers, rough rock cliffs that change with
every rain and wind storm. The badlands are where the cattle rustlers and such hung out and
laid low. You could see how
they could lose a posse out
there.The funniest thing was
as we stopped at one of the
pull-outs we noticed that we
were not the only Kentucky
folks there. Pam had spotted a Rowan county plate in
the parking lot, so we wait
for the owners to come back
from their walk and they
let us take their picture. We
didn’t get their names but we
were in a hurry and so off we
went.

We had a great visit
at the local Steak & Shake
with our friend Lee Redheart. She looked great
and after sharing all our
stories from the last 10
years, we climbed back in
the car, off to our next destination.
the comfort of our car, we proceeded off on across the planes. The rain ended and we made the
Idaho border by nightfall. The mountain pass was a crisp 49 degrees. We were on the last 200
miles before we reached our destination of Lewiston, Idaho. We watched as deer and a big bull
moose ran across the road in front of us, Pam was driving and I, camera in hand, did manage to
capture a moose and her baby in a meadow before night fall.

Favorite childhood memories from our readers ...
My favorite childhood memory was
turning 16 years old and getting my
brand new 1986 Ford Escort GT,
even though I had to go to work and
pay for it.

My favorite childhood memory
was my first day of school. I was
six years old and had started first
grade. I made a lot of new friends
and had a really great teacher. Her
name was Mrs. Dodd. She always
had great activities for us to do. We
had parties for the holidays. On
Easter, the class made Easter baskets that were filled with great candy. At Christmas, I remember that
the class exchanged presents. This
is a great childhood memory I will
always treasure.

My favorite childhood memory is
when my grandpa took all of the
grandchildren on a fishing trip. We
didn’t have to go very far, because
it was on the family farm, but it
was one of the greatest childhood
memories I have. We woke up early
to dig up our fishing worms. Papaw
had to fix all of our poles, then we
were ready to go. I don’t know how
many fish I caught that day but I do
remember just wishing that the day
would never end.

My best and favorite memory as a
young girl is having a garden with
my dad, Lloyd Napier. He had got-
ten hurt in a coal mining accident,
and could not work any more. So,
while getting his social security,
he had a big garden and sold vegetables. One year, I decided I didn’t
want to watch my little baby brother, or wash dishes, or clean house.
Dad understood, because he knew
I loved the outdoors and still do at
age 53. So, that year, I got to help
Dad. We had the best and largest beans, tomatoes, and potatoes.
Some would sell as fast as we would
pick a 10 or 15 lb. lard bucket. Dad
told me it was because of my small
little hands and because of me helping him every day. Now, he and I
still talk about that summer.

I had an Aunt Cricket and her family who lived in Indiana. At one
point in their lives, they had an automobile accident, which resulted
in their youngest son, Tony, having
a head injury. He was the sweetest
child and I would play and talk with
him all that I could during their
visit. He never could walk or talk,
but he sure could smile! I am so
blessed by having Tony in my life.
Everything he had to go through
has surely helped to make and mold
my life with my own special needs
child. I think God had me in training at an early age for the joys and
struggles that I have every day with
my own daughter.

was when I was about eight or ten
years old. I met my love for life in
the third grade. We held hands and
walked down Winburn Holler. Time
passed and we met again in the early
1950’s, fell in love and got married.
We still are some 58 years later.

My favorite childhood memory is
of my mom taking my sister and I
to my grandfather’s (Daddyho) on
Lake Cumberland. We would have
the best time swimming, fishing
and playing. He would teach us to
shoot his rifles. Then we would go
in and sit around the big wall-sized
rock fireplace, have a good dinner,
and get so-o-o-o sleepy.
Sonja Sammons

When asked what my favorite childhood memory would be is a difficult
question and has my mind really
searching through those memories
of my past. The memories that
played the most in my mind are
of our summer vacations from
school. Every summer, we always
had family visit us, and some would
stay with us for two weeks, usually
around the 4th of July.
when we got all our chores done.
Mommy would make us a bucket of
Kool-Aid. Then we all got to go to
the creek to swim and play.

One of my favorite childhood memories is of Sunday mornings. Breakfast before church was a ritual. We
always had sausage, milk gravy,
and biscuits. I would look forward
to waking early to the smell of my
grandmother’s homemade gravy
and my grandfather’s coffee brewing. I was too small to reach the
counter, so I would stand on two
phonebooks, still clad in my pj’s. I
remember my grandmother’s patience in teaching me how to make
biscuits, my grandfather sitting at
the table laughing at the both of us.
We had more batter on us than in
the pan, and no matter how pitiful
my biscuits looked, my grandfather
would rave about them and eat every morsel. The smell of coffee, and
biscuits and gravy still bring those
memories back. I must admit, since
I have been in Kentucky, I have
tasted some pretty good gravy and
biscuits, bu don’t tell Grandma!

cles together. We lived in the country, so we would get on our bikes
and let our imaginations go. Our
bicycles were our favorite car, and
of course, mine was a Corvette. We
knew our limit of how far to go and
if we went past, Mom would surely
know. By the end of each summer
evening, we would be so exhausted
that we would all pile in front of the
TV and watch our favorite shows.

One of my favorite childhood memories are the trips to my grandma’s
house. I grew up in a military career family. We lived in many states
but never close to my grandparents.
Our trips to grandma’s house were
always long. My poor parents had
to listen to four children frequently
ask, “Are we there yet?”; “I have to
go to the bathroom.”; and “When
can we stop at McDonald’s?”. When
we finally got to grandma’s house,
she would always have cookies waiting for us. In the mornings she
would let us have a cup of coffee to
dunk sweet rolls in. We felt like “big
stuff” getting to have coffee (we
never got to have coffee at home).
I have so many special memories of
my family making those trips to my
grandma’s house, and the fun we
had when we got there.

Randy’s Place
Friends & Family Gather Here
The Story of Randy’s Place
Maybe you’re not from around here or maybe you didn’t eat
with Randy or hear his stories. We did .. and just remembering
them makes us smile. This place is in memory of our beloved
Clay City Chief of Police Randy Lacy. He was killed in the line of
duty in June of 2007 and life will never be the same. Characters
like Big Randy don’t come along often. Those that do find themselves in the pages of history as role models for future generations, as heroes of books and movies - the stuff of legend.
Randy loved to eat and he loved to cook and he was good at
both. Randy’s family lives in and around Clay City. His brothers
and wife founded this business -- a mix of down home country
charm and Randy-style home cookinng. It’s a good place to get
a huge burger and a nice place to share stories and a cup of
coffee.
Pictures of Randy and the family can be found on the chalkboard. Visitors and customers can sign the guestbook or have
a picture taken for the scrapbook. Relatives and fellow officers
visit daily to check out the specials or just get a piece of peanut
butter pie. Friends and family do gather here and they are good
people. Slow down and take time to get to know us, hear a
Randy Lacy story and leave with a smile.

We stopped to see this person and our granddaughter was in the back seat of the car. As my
husband go out of the car, he told her to stay
there, for he was only going to thefront of the

our granddaughter stuck her head out the window and in a loud voice yelled, “Hey Papaw,

I remember when I was about 12-years-old. My
cousin and me would go work for an old woman. She owned a farm and rented small houses.
Some were furnished; some were not. She’d
have us carrying furniture from one house to
another. Mostly, she was lonely and just wanted company, but it was fun. Sometimes, after
we carried somethings really heavy, we would
stop, and she would tell us stories about the
old days. Someone once told us she was beautiful as a young woman, but you wouldn’t have
known by her appearance. Her hair was long
and uncombed, with a straw hat on top o it. After the work, she set to figure how much she
owed us. If you were lucky and made her happy,
you might get fifty cents; otherwise, you may
get a dime or a quarter. She kept her change
under flower pots and nicknacks sitting around
her parlor. One day, a naughty friend said he
was tired of working for nothing. When she left
the room for a moment, he lifted the pots and
stole the change. P.S. Not much.
Alvin Faulkner

One of my favorite memories is going to my
grandmother’s in Mt. Vernon in the summer.
She would cook fresh green beans with new potatoes, cabbage, corn on the cob, sliced tomatoes and cucumbers with corn bread, all fixed
on a wood stove. No meat. Just all fresh vegetables. She also lived in this big old log cabin.
Sure miss those times.

Since Pam asked for favorite memory stories this month, I thought I’d tell you one of my
own.
AUGUST 2009
Memories....
Growing up, I was the only girl; I had three brothers. That is a story in itself. A book,
perhaps. But I digress. An especially fond memory comes to mind. I was a teenager at the
time. Mom and Dad and my grandma and gramps would take us camping all the time. And,
I mean, all the time! We did alot of camping, fishing, swimming when I was growing up.
And we had a ball!
The story I want to share with you is about one time when I was about 14. We all, of course,
took off camping ... again! This time, like so many other times, my friend Paula, came along
(of course!). She was family too.
Well, mom and dad had purchased one of those pop-up campers. I think now they call
them “Hi-Lo’s.” Anyway, every one of us kids, Paula too, had a job to do whenever we set
up camp and whenever we broke camp. Dad was an ex-marine (but, alas, IS there any such
thing as an EX-marine?). “Once a Marine,” my dad always said. And he had us all trained
too. Trained to do a job. Hut! Not in an aggressive way did he treat us. Just disciplined.
Well, we had that camper popped up, leveled (dad’s job), jacked up, beds locked in, ready
to move in, in what seemed like 10 minutes or less. Honestly. I guess we went camping so
much that it became old hat to us, huh? After setting up the camper, we would all go about
organizing the food, the kitchen, the coolers. The men would go for firewood and ice. Once
everything was organized and put in its proper place, then, it was play time! From here on
out!
Oh, and the camp fires. Gosh, I loved the camp fires. Aren’t they the greatest? We would sit
around and talk and sing until the wee hours of the morning. We talking about anything
and everything. And we usually sang everything too. From the 1940’s and up. Gosh! Summer camping was great.
Oh, we had so much fun. We were just plain ol’ happy-go-lucky people anyway. Put us out
in the woods, camping, fishing, swimming, playing horseshoes ... that was who we were.
And we always had fun, no matter where we were or what we were doing. Actually, it was
very difficult for my dad to be serious back in those days.
But, oh, this particular time took home the cake. All of us kids were swimming in the lake,
having a great time. It wasn’t long before we all noticed my dad and my gramps on the
other shore, preparing to rent a canoe. Not a rowboat - a canoe. Now, you all know how
tipsy canoes can be. What you all didn’t know was how ‘tipsy’ dad and gramps were. Ruhroh. WE saw it coming. We all came to attention, watching from the other shore, as these
two silly men attempted to put this canoe in the water. Oh! Someone get me a camera. This
is gonna be good!
ALL THINGS COUNTRY
Grandma and gramps usually rented a cottage. We would spent part of our days between
grandma and gramps’ cottage and our camper. We fished. We swam. At night, we lived in
the game room for at least two hours! And, of course, being teenagers, inevitably would
find someone to flirt with a little bit.
Well, they each successfully got into the canoe. Graceful they were not. Clowns, they could
have been. We continued to watch from the other shore, as Dad and Gramps both began to
giggle as the canoe rocked like a cradle. They knew it was coming too.
One of them would attempt to paddle, unknowingly paddling against the other. So, dad
is rowing in one direction and gramps in the other direction. They began to go around in
circles. More laughter. It’s coming. Won’t be long now. Everybody knows it.

page each month, please contact Dave at
606-643-5048 for more information.
Well, I make it back to shore with their wallets. And just in time too. Because as we watched,
the canoe started rocking like it was in a wind storm. Dad and gramps were laughing so
hard, they couldn’t have maneuvered a toy sailboat, let alone a round-bottomed canoe!
We heard dad say, “Good-bye Jimmy!” laughing all the way down. Then S-P-L-A-S-H! They
were both wet. We roared! Half of the other campers were watching the antics of these two
clowns also. Yep, that’s my dad and my gramps! Oh, and by the way, mom and grandma
were also a part of the audience, and probably the most amused of the bunch. They loved
their guys, silliness and all.
So, yep, Dad and Gramps went swimming that day. Why they did not change their clothes
before they got in the canoe remains a mystery. They certainly had to change clothes afterward. Oh, we ribbed them about this time for years to come.
Gosh! Those were good times! You just can’t beat a good camping trip, past or present! I
leave you with this: “So, I commended enjoyment, because a man has nothing better under
the sun than to eat, drink and be merry; for this will remain with him in his labor all the
days of his life which God gives him under the sun.” -Eccl. 8:15.

USDA Announces New Livestock Indemnity Program
A
griculture Secretary Tom Vilsack announced that eligible ranchers and livestock producers can begin applying for benefits under the provisions of the Livestock Indemnity Program in the 2008 Farm Bill on July 13.
“This program will provide livestock producers with a vital safety net to help them overcome the damaging financial impact of natural disasters,” said Vilsack.
ALL THINGS COUNTRY
This project was one of the eight proposals approved at the Kentucky Agricultural Development Board’s June business meeting.
For more information about the “Farms to Food Banks” project, contact Marian F. Guinn with
God’s Pantry Food Bank at (859) 288-5311.

Life on the Ponderosa….
By Barb Cartwright
Hunters, Washington
S
ummer is finally here- a season which we love here on the Ponderosa; baby deer wandering, blooming flowers waving as one walks by, the smell of fresh cut hay and beautiful
sunsets are a daily pleasure. Temperatures finally reaching above freezing at night and
days warm enough to wear shorts and tank tops. The grass is growing enough to be cut weekly
and the weeds twice as fast! The petunias, marigolds and zinnias are reaching for the sky and
their stunning colors remind me of hand dipped ice cream. Lazy afternoon’s spent in the shade
with a good book and dinner outside every evening as the men come in later as the days grow
longer….

Fast forward to July! Since I didn’t get my article finished in time for Pam to put it into the
July paper I will continue on from here. What a beautiful time of year summer is in the northwest. We have been very dry and hot this July. Thankfully we have had no wildfires to report
in our area. Last week we did experience ground lightening and several strikes on trees that
resulted in fires. We are blessed with an amazing volunteer fire department that got to each
one and put them out. We also had a few thundershowers that knocked the dust down for us.
However it was not enough to escape the never ending chore of watering the yard and garden.
July is definitely hay season. The
early dew sits on the
leaves as they drink
it in to weather out
the hot afternoon.
You can almost
watch the hay grow
as the warm sun
shines down on it.
The majestic purple
blossoms try to burst
forth as the swather
goes through the
field cutting it down
and laying it in perfect rows. The honey
bees buzz away as
the noisy machinery snatches the hay
into its clutches; racing ahead to find a
plant that has not
been disturbed yet.
The hot sun begins
to dry the hay as
quick as it can. Only
a day or two after it
is cut the hay rake
comes by and puts
two smaller rows
into one large row.
The sun finishes the
job it began a couple
of days prior and it
is time to bale! We
use a round baler
to make feeding in
the winter easier.
About 4 AM when
Some of the beautiful flowers that can be found on the Ponderosa Ranch the dew is heavy, the
in Northeastern Washington State.
baler chugs to life in
--Photos by Barb Cartwright the stillness of the
morning. The clang,
clang, clang of the machinery can be heard deep into the woods behind the house. With each
round of the field the big ‘marshmallows’ (as the kids called them when they were little) accumulate in the rows. When Jim and Gunnar are finished baling they will bring the tractor and
re-modified harrow bed down to the field to begin the job of stacking all the hay into the barn.
Hay season is
in full swing
all over the
United States.
We got caught up on the weeds only to find tons of zucchini and cucumbers….oooh I love summer!
The other favorite pastime of summer is to ride up into the mountains and pick huckleberries. I don’t know if you have huckleberries in the Kentucky Mountains but they are delectable.
This past winter’s snow and the warm sunshine of summer have made the huckleberry crop
outstanding this year. If I could I would send each one of you a delicious huckleberry pie!
The end of July brought the much anticipated 30 year class reunion! What fun it was to
see people that you have not seen in so long or even heard about. Many people were easy to
recognize and then there were the ones that made you ask yourself if you really went to school
together? It was so nice to reconnect with your editor in chief- Pam and her husband Dave. Of
course we have been visiting over the months through the website Facebook©, as well as with
other classmates. I would have to say it was a huge help to many that came to reconnect on
that site prior to the reunion. If you have long lost friends or family you might want to check it
out! The reunion committee had really done their job; we had great food, fun times and friends
galore to hang out with for two days. We would not have wanted to miss it.
Of course any time you leave the farm you have all the work left to catch up when you get
back….The weeds had gone into overtime, as well as the berries! I think I picked 3 gallons of
raspberries on Monday. I made jelly and raspberry sauce, which we love to eat on cheesecake.
A Northwest tradition: Huckleberries. The juicy little berries are hard to pick most years, but
are well worth the effort you put into it!
