Top-notch summer productions are underway at many outdoor theaters across Kentucky, some of which have been providing family entertainment for more than a half-century.

A newer addition to the lineup – an outdoor drama based on the Hatfield-McCoy feud – returns this summer for its second season at a Pike County amphitheater located in the heart of the region where the conflict played out.

Cadiz

If you took a step back in time and walked downtown Main Street before the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, you would find the same buildings dominating the city. After all these years the important elements of the city and county landscape still remain. The present day courthouse, completed in 1922 stands today, both serving as a center of county government and a witness to times past. Buildings built before we were born are reminiscent of days gone by, and yet they remain the basic building blocks of the city and its landscape.

Central City

Are you looking to re-locate or vacation in a peaceful, friendly, “just the right size town?” If so, visit Central City, Kentucky, where small town hospitality abounds, a rich musical heritage originates, and an eclectic environment supplies your every need!

IONProtect your online identity

with these cyber-tiPs

Smartphones & mobile devices

• Know your Apps. When signing up with an app store or downloading individual apps, you may be asked for permission to let them access information on your device. Some apps may be able to access your phone and email contacts, call logs, Internet data, calendar data, device location, the device’s unique ID, and information about how you use the app itself. • Passwords protect all devices. Ensure all portable electronic devices are properly password protected, especially any device with personal communications account information.

• “Brick” a stolen device. In recent years, roughly 40 percent of all robberies now involve smart phones and/or tablet computers endangering the security of the personal information on the stolen devices. If a person’s smart phone is lost or stolen, they may now contact the carrier and ask to have that device remotely disabled. These “Bricked” phones are of no use to thieves because they can’t be reactivated after being sold on the black market.

Online protection• Know the terms on social networking websites. Social networking sites’ privacy settings default to everyone. This means anyone can view your profile, not just people you know. Users should change this by accessing the Privacy Settings/Profile Information usually found under the respective Account tab.

• Sample social networking safely. Never disclose private information when using social networking websites. Be very selective about who you invite or accept invitations from as cyber criminals use false profiles to gain access

to personal and private information, such as birthdates, marital status, and personal photographs. Posts containing personal identifying information (PII), including pictures containing metadata can be used against you and your family.• Click with caution. Always use caution when clicking on links in an email or a social networking post, even from someone you know. Reports of personal social networking accounts being hacked and taken over by criminals have increased in recent years. Clicking on a link that appears to be benign in nature may in fact contain embedded malware that can compromise your computer and identity. • Hide your profile from search engines. This can be accomplished by going to the Account/Privacy Settings/ Search and unchecking the “Public Search Results” box. This will remove your public preview from Google, Bing, and Yahoo search returns.• Prevent people from “tagging” you in photos and videos. To do this, go to the Account/Privacy Settings/Profile Information/Photos and Videos of Me and deselect the everyone default.• Keep your personal information safe. Don’t provide personal or financial information, user names, or passwords in response to an email, because legitimate companies generally don’t seek such information in this manner.• Install/update your anti-virus/firewall software. Antivirus and firewall software is a must for anyone to safely navigate online. Ensure your antivirus software program updates automatically and scans your computer on a recurring schedule.

Report the theft to the Internet Crime Complaint Center which is an FBI-NW3C Partnership. They are available online at http://www.ic3.gov/default.aspx.

It’s something that’s never been done before in this country – a river steamboat reaching the age of 100. In October, 2014, that milestone will be achieved by

the historic Belle of Louisville, and it will be an event to remember!

The Belle is steam-powered and paddlewheel-driven, with engines that are older than the boat. Constructed in the 1890s (as far as we can tell) her engines were used before they were installed on her when the boat was built in 1914 at Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She began as the Idlewild and served first as a ferry and day packet (freight) boat, and was outfitted for passengers, too – good thinking for her future, since with the expansion of railroads and the new trucking industry, packet work saw a natural decline by the end of the 1920s. In the early 1930s, the Idlewild shifted primarily to excursion work, and it became her mainstay from then on.

She led a vagabond’s life as a “tramp” vessel, going from town to town, offering short excursion cruises and then moving on. With her shallow draft of only five feet, she traveled on every navigable waterway in the inland rivers system. In 1948, her name changed to the Avalon, and she became the most widely-traveled river steamboat of her size in the nation. By 1961, with expenses exceeding income, her owners planned to demolish her; but fate intervened and she was put her up for auction instead. The highest bid came from Jefferson County, Kentucky, and the Avalon was brought to Louisville to begin a new life on the Ohio River’s south shore. She was renamed the Belle of Louisville in the fall of 1962, and she is now Louisville’s legendary lady.

The Belle will be celebrating her centennial with the Festival of Riverboats from October 14 – 19. Six riverboats will fill Louisville’s waterfront, offering cruises and special events with a lot of activities happening on land, as well. The involvement of the whole community will make this a once-in-a-lifetime experience. If your schedule won’t allow you to be in Louisville at that time, you can still travel on this magnificent vessel during the summer and fall. The Belle runs two-hour cruises on most Thursday evenings through July, and on Friday evenings, and Friday, Saturday, and Sunday afternoons during July and August. She continues Saturday and Sunday afternoon cruises through October (the schedule changes during the festival) and, in addition, she offers some great special events: Fireworks Cruises on July 3rd, cruises through McAlpine Lock, Oktoberfests in the fall, and a Boo Cruise for children near Halloween provide family fun and a steamboat adventure.

Her sister boat, the diesel-powered riverboat Spirit of Jefferson, also runs one- and two-hour excursion cruises throughout the summer, fall, and early winter. With both vessels offering Ohio River experiences, there’s always something going on.

Call for information on individual and group opportunities. Advance reservations are required for special events and for tickets that include the delicious buffet meal that is offered on most cruises. Make plans to come on board!

Battle of Big HillBattle of Big Hill - Jackson County, McKee, Kentucky. The Battle of Big Hill reenactment will be held again this year in Jackson County, Kentucky with both a change of date and venue. Previous years have seen the BoBH held at the Jackson Energy Farm on the third weekend of August, but a variety of circumstances have led to the decision to move the reenactment to the north entrance of McKee on US HWY 421 on the fourth weekend of August. This situation will hopefully make the venue more accessible to travelers, and the fourth Saturday of August falls on the 23rd this year, corresponding with the historical date of the original battle.Another reason for bringing visitors to the north entrance of McKee is to promote the establishment of our new hiking and equestrian trailhead, the Big Turtle Trailhead, which now connects McKee city limits with the Sheltowee Trace National Recreation Trail. We invite everyone to learn more about our new trailhead so you may plan an excursion on future visits.The Battle of Big Hill reenactment opens to the public at 10:00 am Saturday morning with various events including the Ladies Tea at 1:00 pm, the battle reenactment at 3:00, and the Civil War Ball at 8:00 pm. The Civil War Ball will be held at Bond Memorial Park in south McKee under the picnic shelters next to the ball park. Bond Memorial Park in McKee is home each year to Family Fun Night, a kid-oriented festival that starts at 4:00 pm. We invite reenactors and spectators to join us for Family Fun Night after the battle, and to stay for the Civil War Ball, which will feature the renowned musicianship of Jackson County natives Gene Gatts and Ralph Marcum. You may expect all usual amenities.After the reenactment, a memorial recognition will be held for the late Ronnie Robinson, who was instrumental in helping to organize reenactors for the Battle of Big Hill at its inception.On Sunday, August 24, the reenactment opens to the public at 12:00 noon, with a second battle to be held at 3:00 pm.To keep up with this and other events in Jackson County, join the Jackson County Tourism Facebook Group and browse our website: www.visitjacksoncountyky.com

burnside

The community was originally settled at the juncture of the Cumberland River and the South Fork River. It was called Point Isabele, the town was renamed for General Ambrose Burnside who established a camp there during the war. A sign at the edge of town declares Burnside “Birthplace of Boy Scouts of America”, and an official state historical society marker commemorates the troop. In 2005, Burnside became the only town in Pulaski County to allow the sale of alcoholic beverages by the drink in qualified establishments. Since then, Burnside annexed several miles of shoreline along Lake Cumberland in order to include Lee’s Ford Marina, allowing it to sell alcohol.
