Jim: Roads and weather were in the News 27 Jan 1915 News from the Adair County News from 100 years ago. With relevance to today by JIM By JIM A sad death, bad roads, fulsome and flattery; and Billy Sunday goes to Philadelphia. A passing interconnectedness (perhaps intentional, perhaps not) occurred among some of the front page articles of the Adair County News edition dated January 27, 1915: It took hearse four hours to go nine miles to Pleasant Hill Church The previous week, a brief article had informed readers of the tragic death of Walter S. Taylor, the 26-year-old scion of a prominent family of Montpelier and a ministerial student at Transylvania College. The following week, the News indirectly referenced Walter's death by stating that after the remains arrived in Columbia from Lexington, the hearse departed town at 9 a.m. So deplorable were the road conditions it took the hearse four hours to traverse the nine miles to Pleasant Hill Church, at which place the funeral and interment were to take place.

Letter: Dinner with Governor Ford Comments re article 72703 Judge Stephens orders flags to half staff remembers Sen Ford By: Kathy Phelps Gaskin Very well said Judge Stephens! I too, have many personal and fond memories of Senator Ford being at our house on many occasions. One of the most notable ones was when he came by for supper after several previous visits. He had told me I could call him Wendell, but I never had.....yet! I was dressed in my Sunday best with lots of frills and lace that was itching me to no end. The doorbell rang and I was hoping it was a friend wanting to play and rescue me from this miserable dress. I excitedly ran to answer the door expecting Lee Ann Dohoney, Lisa Smith, or Tommy Corbin. It was Governor Ford. I said "Oh hi Wendell, come on in." I got a stern look from Mama that I really didn't understand.

Letter: Memories of Wendell Ford Roger D Smith DMD writes: Ed: The first time I met Sen. Ford it didn't take long for him to ask where I was from and did I know Grover Gilpin. I admitted I did, and he started with some phrases that only two old friends could share. His only request was that I tell Grover exactly what he said and to say hello. When I got home I did as he asked and to my suprise Grover repeated almost the same phrases back to me in referring to the Senator. I met him several times over the years and it amazed me that he remembered my name, but he never failed to ask about Grover. A very special friendship. --Roger D Smith DMDComments re article 72709 Remembering Sen Ford Misses already his wit common sense Click here to share, print, or bookmark this article. 2015-01-24 15:17:13 | Comments | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

Steve Beshear announced today.

Kennedy Memorial Bridge. "Just over a year and a half ago, we gathered at this spot to break ground on the Downtown Crossing," Gov. Beshear said. "Since then, we've watched the towers rise out of the river and the much-needed Downtown bridge begin to take shape. Today's announcement means progress will be coming at an even faster pace." Under the accelerated schedule, the Downtown bridge is expected to open in January 2016. At that time, it will carry both northbound and southbound I-65 traffic.
