Joe Hare receive author-inscribed copy of Marble Mountain 2011-06-21 - OKCC, 2339 Campbellsville RD, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Vietnam War Veteran Joe Hare, Columbia, KY, received his copy of Marble Mountain, especially inscribed to him by fellow Vietnam veteran/author Bud Willis at Betty's OK Country Cooking this morning, June 21, 2011. Hare had been unable to attend on the day of the book signing at the Adair County Public Library and this copy was purchased for him by a friend. It's a special part of his library now, he said, not only because of the inscription, but also because another Adair Countian, Jim Williams, was at Marble Mountain during the war. Appropriately, Hare was wearing his full Patriot Guard outfit when the book was presented. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

KSP Trooper receives posthumous award 2011-06-21 - Frankfort, KY - Photo KSP photo.. Debbie Ward center, accepted the Governor's Medal of Valor on behalf of her brother-in- law, the late Kentucky State Police Trooper Joe Ward, from Justice and Public Safety Cabinet Secretary J. Michael Brown (right) and KSP Commissioner Rodney Brewer, left, on May 24, 2011, in Frankfort. The award is the highest honor that can be bestowed upon an officer of the agency for conspicuous heroism in the line of duty under circumstances of extreme personal hazard. It is awarded only by order of the Governor and only in cases when three conditions are met: the officer acted in the face of extreme personal danger without hesitation or regard for his own life or well being, the officer undertook the action willingly and with full knowledge of the grave risks and the act of heroism was so clearly above and beyond the call of duty and so conspicuous an example of personal courage that any lesser award would be considered both inadequate and inappropriate. The honor stems from a 1973 incident on the Pennyrile Parkway in Christian County when Tpr. Ward sacrificed his life while pushing a subject out of the path of an oncoming vehicle. A native of Williamstown, KY, Ward was assigned to KSP Post 2 in Madisonville at the time of the incident. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Although more than a dozen answers - great guesses, but none correct - were received when Billy Joe Fudge sent a picture puzzle in to CM a few weeks ago, readers have had to wonder until now.

As you can see it was not light passing through an object but a simple reflection of direct sunlight from the bottom of the steam iron onto the laundry room wall."
