Cue Mariah's "All I Want for Christmas is You" and let's get this season started, shall we? If you've followed along so far, you'll know that fall is my favorite, but mainly because cooler temperatures are welcome after a blistering summer But, Christmas and winter? Oh, I LOVE The warmth of the Christmas spirit helps to combat the frigid air whipping through the Bluegrass this time of year
But, what exactly, is the "warmth" of Christmas spirit? I think it's love. Love is at the center of gift giving, donation giving (p 16), family dinners, and classic movies (p. 28) on the couch under the softest blanket in the house Love is the cup of hot cocoa with tiny marshmallows, while not thinking about calories, and just admiring the festive mug that hugs it This year, I want to stress how imperative it is to shop local in Jessamine County for your family and friends. The local businesses who followed their hearts and started something here at home need our support Remember to visit our local stores first before going to big box stores, because our local business owners will use that money to shop for their own Christmases Throughout this edition, you'll find advertisements from local businesses who would love to see you and earn your business, make sure you tell them hi from Jessamine County Living!
It's basketball time for our local high schools (p 32-33) and there's so much to do and see this season! So, get out there and enjoy all Jessamine County has to offer Spend a day at the St. Nich Fest and Wilmore's Old Fashioned Christmas. Spend a day journaling out those New Year's Resolutions (p 36), and let sweet letters to Santa (p. 42) warm your heart all winter long Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

Dust your chimney before lighting a fire. Keep your trees away from fireplaces, radiators, etc.
Turn off your tree and decorations and toys when not in use.
Your tree should have a stable platform, preventing it from tipping over.
Lock your vehicle up tight when shopping during busy holiday season. Thieves wait for opportunities to break into unlocked vehicles.
Flame resistant trees should be considered over real, as they are less likely to catch on fire with lights.
If you are going to drink at holiday parties, drink responsibly and never drink and drive.
Make sure you keep lit candles away from wreaths, garland, and the tree.
Chocolate can be potentially fatal to your fur babies. Keep treats away from pets.
Water real trees regularly.

Already signs of the coming Christmas season are visible in Wilmore – the occasional glimpse of a tree in a residential window, city employees hanging banners, lights being strung, the City tree being decorated, Christmas music being played. Within a few short weeks, we will be in full Christmas mode in Wilmore! Be sure to check out the calendar of events for Wilmore in this issue of Jessamine County Living.
Our retail district is thriving with over twenty shops and businesses ready to help you select that perfect gift Moving in and out of shops, up and down the streets in Wilmore will take you back to the pre-mall days. You will greet neighbors and friends, shop an amazing variety of items, saving gas, time and frayed nerves perhaps! You will find these shops warm and inviting with business owners who will give the attention and time not always found in the big box stores By shopping “local and small”, you will be supporting businesses who put money back into the local economy.
You will want to include in your schedule time to take in some of the cultural events scheduled throughout the months of November and December. Asbury University and Asbury Theological Seminary will be offering services of the season and are open to the public Many churches will feature plays, musical presentations and more. These events provide the much-needed balance to what can be an overwhelming and stressful time. Lastly, opportunities to be a “neighbor helping a neighbor” are available by contacting area churches or the Community Service Center. Sharing is always a blessing!
Wishing you a Joyful Christmas!
Mayor Harold Rainwater

We at Jessamine County Living pledge to give a portion of all our proceeds to a charity each edition To apply, email Britt.moses@yahoo.com
The Jessamine County Homeless Coalition does a lot more than simply run a shelter. The executive director, Johnny Templin, has introduced various projects that benefit charity here in Jessamine County directly. One being Bingo gaming, and another being their annual fall festival. On top of raising funds to better serve our homeless, JCHC also shares CommUNITY meals for Thanksgiving and Christmas, and they feed hundreds of people locally, regardless of need.
The Christmas CommUNITY meal will be at Jessamine County Public Library on December 22nd. There are several ways you can be involved in this project, you can (1) donate food. Templin said that the need this year is on meats, but of course, they welcome any food donation for the meals. You could also (2) help cook the meals. If you would like to volunteer to cook, just contact Templin, and he will work out the details alongside you. You also have the option to (3) volunteer to serve meals. Whether you have an hour or all day, JCHC would be grateful to have you serve meals from the library on the 22nd. Lastly, you can (4) just come enjoy a free meal.
JCHC has also expanded to the Center for Growth and Hope. This center helps those in need with programs for Domestic Violence, Family First, Veterans, and Substance Abuse Treatment for both Men and Women. While the facility isn’t open yet, it is coming soon to offer you more services, more programs, and more community.
The votes are in! Say "hello" to your elected officials. Some have been serving our community for decades, while others are fairly new. However, no matter how long they've been seated in office, we think it's important that you know who they are and what offices they hold.

Curiously, the head and mouth of a river are on opposite ends—the head is at the beginning and the mouth is where it concludes. The headwaters of the Kentucky River originate in the mountains of eastern Kentucky in three forks: the North, Middle, and South Forks, which merge together near Beattyville. Along its course, the Kentucky River drains about a third of the state, flowing in a northwesterly direction, collecting runoff, creeks, streams, and other rivers along the way to its mouth at the Ohio River near Carrollton, Kentucky
For Jessamine County, over half of its seventy-three lineal mile boundary line is composed of the river. While it is fifteen or so miles in a straight line from the Fayette County line where the river starts forming the Jessamine County line to the point where it begins forming the Woodford County line, the actual distance of the twisting and turning meanders of the river make up about forty-five miles of Jessamine County’s southern boundary, with the majority of it being in an area where a million years’ worth of erosion has created steep limestone cliff known as palisades.
Much of Central Kentucky that is located south of the river is drained into the Kentucky River by Dix River, with its mouth adding water to the Kentucky River in Mercer County slightly upstream from High Bridge
Jessamine County’s surface water makes its way into the Kentucky River mainly by way of Jessamine Creek and Hickman Creek. Jessamine Creek begins in northern Jessamine County, just south of Catnip Hill Road, and empties into the Kentucky River about three and a half miles south of Wilmore. Altogether, it meanders about ten miles from north to south, draining the county west of Nicholasville.
The two main branches of Hickman Creek, West Hickman and East Hickman, get their start outside of Jessamine County, flowing from Fayette County, before merging in northeastern Jessamine County near Mackey Pike and Smith Lane. From there Hickman Creek meanders about fifteen miles before emptying into the Kentucky River just upstream of the Highway 27 crossing at Camp Nelson Other streams and creeks also drain into the Kentucky River, at various location along the river boundary, but the Jessamine and Hickman are the main sources
Crossing the Kentucky River was always a challenge for people, being difficult to ford, but created opportunities for ferry operators. One such ferry is still open today at the end of Tates Creek Road, where Jessamine, Fayette, and Madison Counties meet. Eventually, civil engineers conquered crossing the river with bridges high above its flood zone. First, the Cincinnati Southern Railroad built the engineering marvel cantilevered bridge in 1877 that spans the river from Jessamine County to Mercer County at High Bridge Almost a hundred years later, highway engineers designed and built a new Highway 27 bridge crossing the river That bridge and the companion four-lane highway that eventually ran all the way to Bryantsville, would give communities to the south much easier access to Jessamine County, and help make it the vibrant county that we know today.
Dix River was dammed about two miles south of the mouth in the early 1920s to form Herrington Lake for electricity generation. In his early travels to Kentucky, Daniel Boone identified Dix River as an ideal for a dam, but not knowing about electricity, he envisioned a water-powered grinding mill, not a hydroelectric dam.
Today, many communities, including municipal water service provider in Jessamine County, draw water from the Kentucky River. The Kentucky River has always been an important resource for area inhabitants. Native Americans used it for travel, utilizing dugout canoes to move between villages along the river. Early settlers used it for navigation and a food source, and eventually it was the boundary line for the original three counties of Fayette, Lincoln, and Jefferson in 1780 Later steamboats would power their way on the river, and the government, both state and federal, would be involved with improving navigation and flood control with a series of locks and dams.
