Ah-most.
In the dram-edy that I'm writing about a North Carolina semi-professional football team and the church that many of its players attend, the name of a local restaurant that is operated by Montagnard refugees from Vietnam is "Chairman Yum's."
Good jobs news for Cadiz.
More bulletins from the business desk: Saveway of Owenton saved. El Charrito of Harlan closed. And the post office of Windsor ...?
The state's revenues reportedly are up over this time last year.

Highest graduation rates in western Kentucky: Caldwell, Graves and Lyon county highs.
I didn't want to spend a second away from Mom, so I simply never attended kindergarten. Then, I cried and cried every first day of school up until about fourth grade.
My 2-year-old has pants that look pretty much the same as the ones this little girl is wearing.

RIP, Mr. Leo, a designer of shoes, a lover of golf and a survivor in the subways.
The Herald-Leader's Mark Story is in the Lexington studio for The Joe B. & Denny Show this morning.
ReplyDeleteWhen Mark Story joined the newspaper, The Herald-Leader strived to cover 78 Kentucky counties. The sports staff undertook a project to produce stories from each, and Sunday's edition includes a Story story from the 78th of those counties: Joe B's native Harrison.
ReplyDeleteMark Story: "When I took the position of columnist, I accepted the high possibility of making people mad ..."
ReplyDeleteJoe B: "Yeah, but you're no Jerry."
Mark Story: "Now, I'm going to defend Jerry. ... I think he's the best beat writer whoever worked in this state."
Joe B: "You newspaper guys like him. ... He sells newspapers."
I know this is GoHeath bait, but I'm going to respond anyway:
ReplyDeleteHow can you say Tipton is a great beat writer? No one at the program, or inside the UK Administration, will talk to him, which means that he literally cannot give you any inside information about the Wildcats. Every major story involving the UK basketball program is usually broken by Andy Katz at ESPN, because he's the only reporter any of the inside people will talk to. What is the purpose of a beat writer who has no inside information? Plus, Tipton's writing is mediocre at best. I don't actually think of him as a "reporter" in any real sense of the term; I think of him as a guy who writes a continuing blog about how much he hates the University of Kentucky basketball program.
It wouldn't call it "GoHeath bait." I just thought it would be of "GoHeath interest."
ReplyDeleteStory is a complete fraud. That guy wrote a column on March 6, 2009 urging UK to keep Billy Gillispie as the coach and saying that "it would be counterproductive to fire a coach after two years." Then he wrote other columns in the spring of 2009 specifically attacking Calipari. With the possible exception of Pat Forde -- who wrote very similar columns for ESPN -- I don't think any columnist in America was more wrong about a hiring decision than Mark Story was.
