While we waited for Pa to hang up the phone and tell us about a surprise, Granny fixed us homemade bread with straight-from-the-shrub blackberry jam. The food was much tastier coming straight from the source.

“I’m going to miss homegrown vittles as much as I’m going to miss you and Pa,” I told Granny after swallowing my first bite.

“You can still have homegrown goodies,” Granny said as she shelled peas from the garden.

“How?” we asked.

It’s barely Thanksgiving season, but one Morgantown resident has been in the Christmas spirit since before Halloween.

Juanita Neighbors has been making Christmas trees and other decorations for several weeks, and her creations are genuine works of art. Using a discarded artificial Christmas tree, pine cones, and simple beads she has filled her little home behind the Presbyterian Church with the holiday spirit.

The Morgantown Christmas Parade will be held on Saturday, Dec. 7th this year, beginning at 2 p.m. Lineup will be at Morgantown Elementary beginning at 1:30 sharp. In order for your float or entry to be judged you need to pick up an entry form at the Chamber of Commerce office and return it by November 29th. This year’s theme is anything goes, so be creative.

The American Cancer Society marks the Great American Smokeout on the third Thursday of November each year by encouraging smokers to use the date to make a plan to quit, or to plan in advance and quit smoking that day. By quitting — even for one day — smokers will be taking an important step towards a healthier life.

Tobacco use remains the single largest preventable cause of disease and premature death in the US, yet almost 1 out of 3 adults and teens in Kentucky smoke or use tobacco products.

“It happens all the time,” the firefighter told Pa. “Those city pups did what they thought was right.”

“Don’t worry one iota over what happened,” Pa said, making us feel better. “That firefighter was correct – you acted in good faith, and that’s something to be proud of.”

“I don’t understand how the barn wasn’t on fire since there was smoke pouring from it,” Chloe said.

The Butler County High School Accounting class attended an event at Western Kentucky University on Friday November 1st. Students were addressed by several accounting professionals and covered several topics that were actual "hands-on" accounting applications. Students were also addressed by the Dean of the Gordon Ford College of Business, Dr. Jeff Katz. Dr. Katz encouraged the students to attend WKU and pursue an accounting degree. The field trip was very beneficial for the accounting students who had a chance to see real world applications.
