THE WAY I SEE IT: It’s time for Jamestown to join the 21st century
In July 19 issue, Russell County News By Barbara Sharp Zimmerman, Columnist
Several years ago when the wet-dry issue was up for a vote in Russell
County, a church-going businessman told me if the county was voted wet,
there'd be a drunk on every corner and the streets would not be safe
for women. Little did I know at the time, the businessman had a side
business; he was hauling in booze by the crate every weekend.

As most locals know Lakefest has one of the nicest Antique Car shows
around. This year was no exception. I didn't make it this year because
I was under the weather, but I got a call from Doc Monin who filled me
in on a lot of the details.
We saw a bumper sticker this past week that really caught our
attention. We are not for sure it was her or not, but we thought it
was on the bumper of the car driven by our own Barbara Zimmerman.
THE WAY I SEE IT: Did I just imagine my childhood?
In July 12 issue, Russell County News By Barbara Sharp Zimmerman, Columnist
Growing up in Jamestown in the 1950s is preserved like a Norman
Rockwell painting in my overly mature memory. What has stayed with me
over the years is an untroubled sense of freedom I had while at the
same time feeling like I belonged in a place where everybody knew
everybody else.

The other day I had a young person ask me, “What actually is Crusin,
just riding around in a car?” It took me a while to think about my
answer and I realized that over the years the work “Crusin” has changed
its meaning for me.
Had a great time at the Jamestown Celebration. Very nice weekend but
we were a little surprised to see what we thought was a reduction in
attendance this year. The celebration is a great idea and we certainly encourage to keep the
tradition alive and well. We could not keep from thinking how many
hours and years the Hoover family had put into the production of the
event. Our thanks to them for all their efforts and to all the others that have worked over the years past and especially this year.
CRUISIN': The Kaiser museum at Jamestown's The Cookery
In July 5 issue, Russell County News By Ron Cowell, Columnist
Last week while I was crusin’ around the County I happened to drive
past “The Cookery” in Jamestown. The old Kaiser setting in front of
the place caught my eye and I said to myself, “ There has to be a
story in that old car.”
