Oh, Kentucky
It's showtime again at Louisa's Garden Theater.
"All of a sudden everybody was excited about recreation in Mayfield and Graves County." Fun, comprehensive report from Shelley Byrne in The Mayfield Messenger. Makes me want to go there.
Picking and bowing all summer long in Floyd County.
Seeking boots-on-the-ground input from southeastern Kentucky's "Promise Neighborhood."
Hiring in Madisonville (595 available jobs as of Friday).
Ah, Paducah:
-- Nate Crawford at Forward Kentucky: "He followed that up with the comment that '… when Paducah enacted that ordinance, the signal was sent out across not just Kentucky, but across the country that this is an LGBT-friendly city.' Which, obviously, he saw as a bad thing."
-- The San Francisco Chronicle: "Paducah council weighing religious liberty, civil rights."
-- The Paducah Sun: "Tebow to visit Paducah for night of worship."
Rest in peace, Jim Burton (1955-2019), Madisonville native, Hilltopper and globetrotting Southern Baptist journalist who didn't "want to be remembered only as that guy with ALS."

Newsstand, March 1973
Paducah made Ebony!
Meanwhile, Boys' Life has an enthralling depiction on a Catlettsburg, Kentucky, Scout's springing into action to save a neighbor boy's life. (I loved these "Scouts In Action" features in Boys' Life when I was a kid.)
I don't really know much at all about National Lampoon magazine, but its March 1973 cover cracks me up. It's like one of those great overly specific Onion editorial cartoons, and, in this one, the personified magazine is marching into "GOOD TASTE" and "SWEETNESS AND LIGHT" and away from its "BAD TASTE" marked by "VICIOUS ATTACKS," "UNCALLED-FOR SMUT" and--my favorite--"TEARING DOWN WITHOUT BUILDING UP." This last one is represented by a man maniacally smashing birds with a hammer. As it moves toward a future of "MIRTH," "MERRIMENT" and "HARMLESS JOSHING," National Lampoon declares in a sturdy, seriffed font that it is "On the Right Path." Now this is a fantastic cover.
Here are the Nixons, by Norman Rockwell, on a magazine I had never heard of, First Monday. From looking at other eBay searches, it appears to be some sort of GOP-advocacy publication--and maybe even produced by a Nixon-specific organization.
I also was unaware of QST, "The Official Journal of the ARRL," or Amateur Radio Relay League of Hartford and now Newington, Connecticut.
I'm so happy to report that I still so love television, and each of this 1973 month's TV Guide covers--March 3, March 10, March 17, March 24 and March 31--just absolutely makes me want to watch more.
Turning to sports, Action Sports Hockey is taking us “INSIDE THE CANADIENS’ HATE-FILLED DRESSING ROOM;” Carlos Monzon is Boxing Illustrated's fighter of the year, and The Sporting News picks Nate Archibald and Bill Walton for its pro and college players of the 1972-73 basketball season, respectively (and congratulations, William "Bird" Averitt of Hoptown and Pepperdine for his honorable mention!)
More from March 1973 magazines:
-- Music Star, "The Loneliness of Michael Jackson"
-- Country Song Roundup, "who is Jim Ed Brown?"
-- Tiger Beat, "OSMONDS: Will Religion STOP Them From LOVING YOU?!"
-- 16 Magazine, "David--Is He a Phony?!"
-- Seventeen, "the real-life BRIDGET AND BERNIE"
-- Modern Screen, “DISCOVERED! BURT REYNOLDS & DINAH SHORE’S Secret Love Hideout!”
-- TIME, "EUROPE, AMERICA'S NEW RIVAL"
-- Christian Crusade Weekly, “POWs Tell of Religious Experiences” and “US Warming Up To Cuba?”
-- Consumer Reports, “The High-Filth Diet, Compliments of FDA”

Lauren Tussey 27-year-old former Catlettsburg Elementary school student and strength competition athlete pulls a 10,000 pound tow truck the distance of 50 feet for students today. pic.twitter.com/nXzjDecckR— The Daily Independent (@ashlandkydaily) August 24, 2018
At what point does a "food truck" become a "peddler" (which costs a lot more to permit in Bullitt County)?
Participation across high-school sports in Kentucky is rising--except in football, in which it is down 7.2 percent since 2015, per Josh Moore in Lexington's Herald-Leader.
The media M&A scene, Paducahwise.

A Brandenburg native known for his barbecue in North Carolina takes over a Stephensburg icon. Interesting, twisty-turny business story from Becca Owsley in Etown's News-Enterprise.
Remember that Funtown/Guntown Mountain turnover in Cave City? "Everything will be OK."
An air-conditioning and, in turn, library outage in Auburn.
A federal grant is bringing natural gas to Hazard's Coalfields Regional Industrial Park.

What's going wrong at the McCracken County jail?
What are McCreary and Wayne counties doing right?

Oh, Kentucky
The Kentucky State Park posters are here and/or coming, and I want every one of them right now.
The drawdown of copy editing at America's newspapers is one of the pocks of the last 20 years, but even bad things yield good stuff: for example, Douglas White's heavier emphasis on business writing in Henderson's Gleaner. He is fantastic.
Hey, Gov. Bevin made The New York Times!
Here comes Kentucky Wired, at last, to Boyd County, etc.
Good jobs news from Glasgow.

Live ... from Dawson Springs ... it's Tuesday night!
The CEO of Humana is reportedly on President Trump's schedule today.
The League of Women Voters plans to drop some charter-schools 411 on Hoptown next month.
"The fight, drive and determination that cleared the dense forests of this region and turned them into beautiful meadows where thoroughbreds graze, remains an integral part of our culture. The work ethic that ventured deep underground to provide coal that energized a nation, is woven into our people’s DNA."
Mining classes in Hazard.
Good jobs news from Hebron.
Managing the business boom at Paducah's old Coke plant.
In Catlettsburg, logos for a comic-book vigilante murderer have been removed from the (real-world) police cars.
In Franklin, First Baptist Church went back to the grind one week after people interrupted Sunday-morning worship with an angry demand for money.
Almost 400 farmers from 67 Kentucky counties took part in Farms to Food Banks last year, and calls are coming in for the 2017 season.

Well, if you missed Vine Grove's Mayberry Days, you really missed it.
"How would that make us feel as a community? Could it encourage more residents to beautify their own property? Could that environment even turn into an economic driver for the city and local business?"
Lexington says homelessness in the city is down more than 26 percent since 2014.
As of April, there were fewer people employed by Kentucky mines than at any points since 1898, says a new state report.
Hiring in Elkton.

Christmas parades are hot and heavy around the commonwealth. My wife and daughter and I got out to a bit of Owensboro's early-bird affair last Saturday, and it was grand. Ashland's, Bardstown's and Louisville's parades happened in the last few days, and now things are poised to really rock: Lexington, Dec. 2; Catlettsburg, Russell and Taylorsville; Dec. 4; Danville and Monticello, Dec. 5; Berea, Bowling Green, Cadiz, Calhoun, Columbia, Fordsville, Harlan, Island, Morganfield, Paducah, Shelbyville and Winchester, Dec. 6; Dawson Springs and Evarts, Dec. 7, and Benton, Livermore and Sacramento, Dec. 13.
