Here is what we are hearing from a briefing today with the National Weather Service: Expect heavy storms, starting after midnight, which could produce some hail. There should be a break through the morning then as early as noon Friday there could be"violent storms and strong, long tracked tornadoes ... expected across the region." For Todd County the worst should be here between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m., but the weather service said there coul<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; ">d be storms in the area until 6 p.m. The large storms could produce multiple tornadoes, high winds, hail, a large amount of lightening and even some flooding for some areas. This is the most serious warning Todd County has had in years and is similar to the storm system that produced a tornado that hit north Todd County in 2006 destroying homes and a church. One weather official from Christian County told the weather spotters there, "This is one of the most dangerous situations I have seen in some time and I strongly urge everyone to begin preparations now." According to Todd County School Superintendent Mike Kenner there will be a decision made about when students are released tomorrow. Friday is an early-release day. So take precautions and keep your weather radios (or TV until the power goes out) close. Be safe!</span></span>Administratorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04708685010618009711noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21410586.post-87424470059927219112011-12-30T12:37:00.005-06:002011-12-30T12:41:11.575-06:00Video from this week's storyHere is an interesting video from a story we had this week about a singer who had a stroke.

Their AT&T service.)<br /><br />Anyway, you dedicated with major pomp and circumstance a tower in south Todd. It wasn’t immediately working, but now it is.<br /><br />The tower in Clifty — I will get into why I say Clifty and not north Todd later — was up and working faster but many have complained that while they are happy to have cell phone service they were perplexed as to why there is only basic or 2G service.<br /><br />Since there was no real indication of when 3G (or hopefully 4G since 5G is on its way) will come to Clifty, it seems like the excitement in north Todd at the posibility of overall wireless broadband service is a fleeting dream.<br /><br />Of course, this wouldn’t be a problem that people in most places would care so much about, except in Todd County, most of the houses outside of the cities don’t have broadband access. Or, at best, they have satellite service which is not always what most experts consider affordable.<br /><br />Most are stuck with 1994 technology in their homes and a burning dislike in their hearts for companies that see a profit margin before they can see their customers.<br /><br />Also, we have a high school full of students who have laptops, and there have been real issues for almost three years now getting good high-speed service for the students to use at home.<br /><br />Truthfully, I think most people on a daily basis don’t see the absolute need for better broadband access, but as the technological world heads farther away from desktop computing to mobile broadband devices like cell phones, laptops and hybrid devices like the iPad, the need for a good infrastructure becomes more and more apparent.<br /><br />Still, after all the complaining, and, trust us, this newspaper and its editor have complained to the governor, state and U.S. representatives and senators and even AT&T itself. It boggles our mind that we might have to be glad that the slither of north Todd that can get a fast signal through the hills and hollers might be as good as it gets for a long while.<br /><br />Here’s a story that is absolutely true and scary at the same time:<br /><br />When this newspaper had a Web site with HD videos, an avid reader and supporter of the newspaper told me he had to download a video in the morning before he went to work on his slow dial-up service and when he’d get home in the afternoon, he would sometimes see the download of the video had just finished up.<br /><br />That is real problem ... for 1998!<br /><br />People often ask me when I’m going to put a Web site back up and I tell them that I would be glad to when I thought there would be enough of my readers who could watch our videos and enjoy our site instead of just the parts that will upload at the speed of slug.<br /><br />Hilda Legg, who has served in the Rural Utilities Service and in the Appalachian Regional Commission in Washington, D.C., and now serves as a consultant in Rural Economic Development with emphasis in telecommunications deployment in rural America, told me in 2007 (that’s right, four years ago) that high-speed broadband access might be the most important single infrastructure a rural community can have.<br /><br />Just like market-to-farm roads in the 1930s and electricity in the following decades, she said broadband will be key to the future of rural America staying with the rest of the country, much less the rest of the world.<br /><br />It just saddens me to see our struggles when communities in Kentucky much smaller than ours have broadband service or are on their way to good service through USDA grants.<br /><br />The grants, as part of the stimulus package a few years back, were deemed too small for large companies like AT&T.<br /><br />So if a slow drip by AT&T is the best we can do then our leaders and those who seek a better and brighter future should be commended for what we have.<br /><br />Still, our leaders (and AT&T) should be challenged to bring in more and better service to Todd County.<br /><br />Then I can retire my complaining pants and sass belt and enjoy a world where anywhere I go — and I do mean anywhere — I can look up information on the internet on my mobile device just like those folks in the big city.<br /><br />We should accept nothing less ... we deserve nothing less.Administratorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04708685010618009711noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21410586.post-56408753651144480662011-08-12T10:26:00.002-05:002011-08-12T10:31:42.354-05:00Throw the bums out!Here is Ryan Craig's column from this week's newspaper:
<br />
<br />LET'S THROW THE BUMS OUT
<br />
<br /> Let me be straight about this, I am so mad with the elected officials in Washington D.C. that I’m going to refrain from saying what I really want to say (mainly because this is a family newspaper) and I’m going to turn over my anger to a favorite 1930s saying by those who were hit by the both the economic tidal wave of fiscal mismanagement and politicians who couldn’t handle them:
<br />
<br /> LET’S THROW THE BUMS OUT!!!
<br />
<br /> Ray Stevens also has a really good song with the same title and as we all know Ray Stevens is rarely wrong.
<br /> Also let me be clear, I don’t care if you are a Democrat, a Democrat who votes like a Republican, a Republican who votes like a Tea Party member, a Tea Party member who votes like they have some sort of special way of reading the Constitution or one of the Independent so influential (in effect, they elected President Obama) in the previous two national elections; you all shoulder the blame.
<br />
<br /> All of us.
<br />
<br /> I sat and watched in horror of the brinkmanship, partisan rhetoric and murky dealings that really gave us nothing except a terrible set of options and a debt limit that was raised as part of the most pitiful amount of governing in several generations.
<br />
<br />Then a few days later, Standard & Poor’s —- a credit agency —- said what we all were thinking: Let’s throw the bums out! Or at least, let’s make an effort to lower debt, raise revenue and give some stability to a world-wide market that is shakier than turtle trying to walk on a washing machine on spin cycle.
<br />
<br /> The agency took the United States’ credit rating from AAA (which is perfect) to AA+ (which is still super good, but just bad enough to make Wall Street and every other market in the world go absolutely nuts).
<br />
<br />Sure, the same politicians who caused the problem because they think compromise is a akin to weakness despite 240 years of our history that contradicts otherwise, started finger pointing.
<br />
<br /> The Republicans called the credit lowering “Obama’s reduction;” the White House called the same thing “The Tea Party reduction.”
<br />
<br /> Basically, there is no way this isn’t the fault of everyone in Congress, the White House and those in the so-called “media” who make a living throwing what former GOP strongman Alan Simpson called “sharp elbows” — “instead of having a caucus where you sit down and say ‘What are you going to do for your county?’ you sit figuring out how to screw the other side.”
<br />Simpson, who was about as fiscally responsible and conservative as it gets when he was in office, told Time magazine that America was “the healthiest horse in the glue factory” and needs to get serious about cutting our deficit.
<br />
<br /> “The absolute rigidity of the parties,” he said. “I’ve never seen that before. Somebody said they’re as rigid as a fireplace poker but without the occasional warmth.”
<br />
<br /> A couple facts: The U.S. deficit is $14 trillion. You could not count that high in your lifetime. The average share of that deficit is a little over $120,000 per household. For the first time since the Great Depression you have a generation that thinks their lives will not be as good as their parents’ or grandparents’.
<br />
<br /> Let’s throw the bums out!
<br />
<br /> Another problem for you and I —- you know, regular people who work for a living —- will be that the credit downgrade for the U.S. and places like Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, which have a majority of the home loans in the nation, will make it much harder to go to a bank and get a loan.
<br />
<br /> Basically those who have money will gobble up cheap stocks and those who took a huge hit in 2008 will take another ding.
<br />
<br /> This year over 1,000 millionaires paid no taxes at all. The rich will remain so while all the rest of us become poorer.
<br />
<br /> While I’m not a fan of socialism, I’m also not a fan of Darwinian capitalism either. The system is rigged for the rich and your American Dream is vanishing by the day as the money is transferred slowly but surely.
<br />
<br /> Let’s throw the bums out!
<br />
<br /> There is no reason to think that the current group of jackals we have will change for the better.
<br />
<br /> So, I say let’s take responsibility for our own lives by not borrowing more than we can cover. Let’s take responsibility for those who make or have made our lives worse.
<br />
<br /> Let’s throw the bums out!
<br />
<br /> Let’s celebrate in five years when Rand Paul, and hopefully his ideas that could cripple the lives of our children and grandchildren, is defeated and the last of the bums in Washington D.C. are gone.
<br />
<br /> This column is not about politics, it is about life, and no one can convince me that a slow, thoughtful effort to rid ourselves of the cancer that has set in in Washington D.C. has to be about politics. They all deserve nothing less than to join the unemployment line.
<br />
<br /> It is time that we demand more than a bunch of sound bites from those who sign no tax pledges before going into office and then take an oath to serve the people. It is time to stop voting for people who won’t sit in a room with people who have differing opinions on things like abortion, tax codes or what is the best way to run a school.
<br />
<br /> They are all supposed to serve the people who put them in the office, but instead they seem to serve everyone else first. The biggest problem in D.C. is that everyone seems to serve two (or more) masters and we all learned in Sunday School that way of thinking only brings destruction and anarchy.
<br />
<br /> So, please, make every effort, send this column to everyone you know. Let’s start taking our task seriously.
<br />
<br /> Let’s throw the bums out!
<br />
<br />Every …
<br />Single …
<br />Last ….
<br />One ….
<br />Of …
<br />Them ….

These were the same fields their ancestors had worked, earth broken on the shoulders of those who came before.<br /><br />The Russell family looked every bit the tourists they were, khaki shorts, sun hats and iPhone cameras clicking as they surveyed the D.N. Short farm on Allensville Road last weekend, looking for any connection they could make to the past.<br />The group planned a family reunion around the tour after learning they are direct descendants of the slaves once tethered to the land.<br /><br />George Russell, whose father was from Trenton, and many members of his extended family hail from Indianapolis, Ind., but they’ve been drawn toward a piece of land in southern Todd County since George met Vanessa Short — whose father-in-law owns the farm — at the Todd County Library while they were researching their respective families’ pasts.<br /><br />It turned out there was a major connection — specifically, the name Russell.<br /><br />Vanessa’s husband Ashley’s ancestors — also Russells — owned slaves that kept the surname Russell after they were freed. <br /><br />Those same slaves that worked what is today the D.N. Short land are Charlie’s forefathers, and when the two families realized it, they began to plan a get-together.<br /><br />Charlie’s group of about 20 — some of whom hadn’t even met each other before — attended the Aug. 8 celebration in Allensville before gathering at the Short farm on a relentlessly hot day, the women carrying umbrellas as makeshift parasols and exclaiming over the biggest bugs they’d ever seen.<br /><br />They were still conscious of how much worse it would have been, say, a couple centuries ago.<br /><br />“As we’re walking, I’m thinking, our ancestors actually worked this land, and here we are with umbrellas!” said reunion-goer Carrie Russell Morris, whose father — the oldest living Russell at 88 — was originally from Elkton. <br />Ashley and Vanessa showed the Russells around as they stopped to remember a people to whom they owe much of their strength today.<br /><br />But the real tour guide was Gillie Short of Hopkinsville, Ashley’s nearly 99-year-old grandmother who was dressed in pink and able to lend more insight to the Russells than any genealogical records.<br /><br />Pausing for get-to-know-yous in a cabin the Shorts rent to hunters, the group’s attention turned to Gillie.<br /><br />Charlie knelt beside her excitedly but reverently, ready to learn from this woman who had been born on the very farm some of his ancestors died on. <br /><br />Turns out she was even more amped to meet him. “You’re the man with all the history!” she told him.<br /><br />Charlie’s been researching his family — and, by extension, Gillie’s — for 20 years, but he still wanted to know what she knows, this woman whose ancestors “owned” his in a way that, as some at the reunion pointed out, we are just now able to talk about. <br /><br />Cheryl Hall-Russell said it’s about time for gatherings like this. “We have finally gotten to a place in America where we can have these kind of conversations about slavery and what it was and what it meant,” she said. “It’s nice when you can get people who have been on both sides of it, because it is a shared legacy.” <br /><br />And indeed, on this day, they scrambled for links in their own histories, for the moment their legacies coincide. The extended Russell family kept its attention locked on the tiny woman who might unlock the shackles of their past, the room nearly silent as they waited for names they’d recognize to tumble from her lips.<br /><br />Does Gillie remember a George Russell? He was Charlie’s ancestor and was named in a Russell family will, as a household’s slaves typically were. Gillie remembered a “Georgie” — perhaps that was him.<br /><br />Most everyone packed cameras and some videotaped her recollections, as if this ever were a day they could forget.<br />In the meantime, the youngest member of the Russell group befriended the Shorts’ daughter, Catherine, and the sight of the two holding hands resonated.<br /><br />“I was just thinking about Dr. King’s words — the children of former slaves and the children of former slave owners playing together,” said Lauren Rochester, another extended family member. “So poetic.”<br /><br />The kids saw something much simpler happening.<br /><br />“I’ve made a new friend,” Alyssa Henderson announced as she climbed into the back of a Cub Cadet with Catherine for the tour of the grounds.<br /><br />Gillie played cruise director — she remembers where the old slave quarters were, a cluster of cabins that have since caught fire, and the group followed her to the shady spot where their family once lived.<br /><br />Marvin Russell, part of the Chicago side of the family, said he had searched records in Elkton the day before and found his great-great-grandparents’ marriage license from 1895.<br /><br />Marvin explained that there were 14 kids who came from this farm, sons and grandkids of slaves, who make up the branches of his extended family tree.<br /><br />One of them, Thornton Russell, is in his direct line, Marvin said. “It’s pretty crazy,” he said of his findings. “We were pretty excited.”<br /><br />The Shorts also led the Russells on the 10-minute walk to an old sharecropper’s house with 1930s newsprint lining the walls.<br /><br />“Whew — we don’t know how blessed we are!” was Robert Henderson’s reaction after emerging from the rickety shack.<br /><br />Ashley showed the group — most of them whom admittedly aren’t that familiar with farming but are interested in everything about the life, asking which crops are which and how they’re planted – a tobacco barn and explained how their ancestors would’ve had to to do everything by hand.<br /><br />Hall-Russell considered that long-ago struggle.<br /><br />“It’s pretty emotional,” she said. “You take seconds of quiet where you imagine what their toil was like. It makes me very grateful for my ancestors.”<br /><br />The pilgrimage concluded at a small family cemetery tucked in a corner of the cornfield. The Russells gathered around the final resting place of one of their own, a tombstone fallen over and nearly hidden in the dirt.<br /><br />The land owners’ graves are still standing, but most of the slaves were buried in unmarked graves in the back.<br />Charlie helped brush some of the debris off the headstone and gently righted it to reveal that this one had a name — Cashy Russell.<br /><br />“If people just knew the stories in their families, they’d be humbled by them — by the sacrifices that were made,” he said.Administratorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04708685010618009711noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21410586.post-72677803963285936502010-06-10T12:00:00.007-05:002010-06-10T12:18:53.505-05:00Nuisance OrdinanceHere is the hard copy of the proposed Nuisance Ordinance.

Grace<br />Todd County Standard</span><br /><br />Ron Sydnor cuts an imposing figure as he stands near the entrance of the museum at the Jefferson Davis State Historic Site in Fairview.<br /><br />He is framed in the rear by the park’s famed Jefferson Davis Monument, known as the tallest unreinforced concrete structure in the world, and by the flags flying overhead in the breeze on this sunny spring afternoon.<br /><br />He is a good fit for the park — for the historic site along US 68 where Sydnor, a former Marine, a student of history and native of Russellville, is now the park manager.<br /><br />Officials with the Kentucky Division of Parks cite his background in history and the military and his knowledge of the local area as assets for his new job.<br /><br />“He’s got a lot of familiarity with the area, and he knows that history backward and forward,” observed Chris Kellogg, the department’s communications director.<br /><br />Sydnor is likely the first African-American to manage the local park, which is the site of the birthplace of Jefferson Davis, the president of the Confederacy during the Civil War.<br /><br />And Sydnor said he believes that his ethnicity too will be a plus in his capacity as park manager. He said it will give him a chance to dispel some of the myths surrounding the history of the Civil War era, and he noted that black history is intertwined with that history.<br /><br />“I see myself as a bit of a historian, and this is history,” said Sydnor, who has a bachelor’s degree in history with an emphasis on the colonial era through the Civil War.<br /><br />“None of us can deny that this happened,” he continued. “As long as I look at it from a standpoint of history, it’s not an issue.”<br />Sydnor said he was “welcomed with open arms” during a planning meeting for a re-enactment that will be a part of the Jefferson Davis Birthday Celebration in June, and he said park visitors and local residents have received him well at times when he’s been introduced as the new manager.<br /><br />Sydnor grew up in Pembroke and attended Pembroke Elementary School. He served 20 years in the Marine Corps before retiring in 1992.<br /><br />Eight years later he returned to Pembroke, and Sydnor began working in the state parks system five years ago when he was named assistant manager at Kenlake State Resort Park.<br /><br />In March 2006 he became assistant manager at Lake Barkley State Resort Park and spent seven months at that post before being named park manager at Fairview.<br /><br />Kellogg said Sydnor is among only a handful of African-American park managers in the state’s parks system.<br /><br />His first day on the job was Monday, and he said he has plans to expand offerings at the park, including new programs that will focus on the Union perspective of the Civil War era, on the lives of Union and Confederate soldiers, on the women’s role at home, and on the part that both African Americans and Native Americans played during the Civil War era.<br /><br />Sydnor noted that both the Union and Confederacy had color troops, or troops of African Americans who fought with them. Both sides also had Native Americans fighting, and the women were “making do” with their families while the men were away, according to Sydnor.<br /><br />He said the dolls played with by young girls of the era also had an integral part in the Civil War. They were used to smuggle medicine.<br /><br />“Eventually where I want to get to is to be able to have at least one program a month,” Sydnor said.<br /><br />He also noted that his ultimate goal is to keep the park open throughout the year.<br /><br />Right now it closes on Oct. 31 and reopens on May 1 each year, and hours of operation are 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.<br /><br />Sydnor said the park attracts about 25,000 people each year for tours of the park and monument and another 50,000 to 60,000 who use the two rental shelters and enjoy the park‘s other amenities.<br /><br />The historic site also has open areas that are free for use and a gift shop where visitors can purchase Civil War souvenirs and other items. The museum offers a video presentation that shares the history of the park and museum.<br /><br />Sydnor said the current presentation talks about Jefferson Davis and the Confederacy, although he hopes to develop additional programs in the future.<br /><br />He noted that the local park is embarking on a new era now that will include people from all walks of life.<br /><br />“It’s going to be a park where everybody, regardless of background, will be able to come and enjoy (it),” Sydnor said. “The history here is not just one group of people’s history. It’s all of our histories.”<br /><br />The Pembroke man observed that African Americans tend to stay away from things that have an association with the Confederate States of America, but he said he hopes to utilize the park as an educational tool “because they need to know” the <br />history.<br /><br />He noted that there are black families that use the park for reunions, but that is not enough, he said, noting that more participation is needed from the black community.<br /><br />Sydnor said he came to Jefferson Davis because Stefanie Gaither, a regional manager with the Kentucky Division of Parks, thought he would be a good fit for the park given his military background and studies of history.<br /><br />Kellogg said it was his contributions to the area, his passion for history and his military background that all came together to make Sydnor a good fit.<br /><br />He also worked previously with the Boys and Girls Club in Hopkinsville and did a good job with that organization, Kellogg said.<br /><br />“The sesquicentennial of the Civil War is coming up next year, and the opportunity to juxtapose the history of the area is absolutely critical,” she noted. “There’s a great story to be told. Kentucky had a critical role in the Civil War, and (Sydnor) has the expertise to take care of all that.”Administratorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04708685010618009711noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21410586.post-7455249291745619472010-05-03T12:10:00.002-05:002010-05-03T12:50:44.911-05:00Sheriff
