Jim Toth is directing a play called "Murder on Moonshine Mountain", it is a rediculous, horrible play that is filled with stereotipical characters like "Sunshine Hickfield", and "Royboy McCoy". He was going to donate the proceeds to the Hancock County Agency on Aging, but they are refusing to accept the $. Well i say good for those old people for standing up for their identities and rejecting that dirty money.

The Appalachain Journal, It's the official journal that the ASA (Appa. Studies Association) puts out monthly. Their is a cool 60 page article in last months about the history of the ASA. Our library gets it, downstairs w/ the other magazines.
