  • Groundbreaking held for new nursing home

    July 22 was called a "day of history-making" by local officials who braved a downpour and muddy field at a groundbreaking for the new Sunrise Manor Nursing Home.

    A large number of Sunrise employees, volunteers and board members joined representatives of Branscum Construction for the ceremony and a reception back at the nursing home. Branscum from Russell Springs  is building the $10.8 million, 142-bed two-story facility on a 13-acre lot beside the current nursing home.

  • Money released to logjam bidder

    The New Haven Board of Commissioners agreed to release payment in advance to Joe Boone Excavating, which was awarded a bid to remove a logjam in the Rolling Fork River.

  • Crazy dreams may be a reflection of our subconscious - or just a bad burger

    All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream.”

    – Edgar Allen Poe

     

    Researchers say we dream four to six times per night.

    Some people, like my husband, Bud, either claim to never dream or not to remember the ones they have. Those same researchers think we forget about 99 percent of what goes on in our brain while we sleep.

    But every now and then we have a dream that is so vivid it sticks with us and causes us to puzzle over its origin and possible meaning for months – even years – to come.

    This office has almost 50 files on various facets of food and its production. Perhaps the files with the most troubling information: agribusiness, genetically modified organisms and food safety.
