Doug Beard: Should have remained in the Backyard By Doug Beard Personal Editorial Contribution Let's begin our show with a rusty truck, a rooster, a crumbling building or two and lots of mud.....Gee, that sounds like it was filmed in rural Kentucky, or so my out- of- state friends would speculate. Unfortunately, that's the image that so many people hold of our beautiful state. And then let's add to our endorsement of this image by having the Mayor and Country Judge issue a proclamation (there seems to be an abundance of those lately), encouraging our residents to support the Backyard Oil television show and show our appreciation and gratitude for this wonderful depiction of life in Adair County..... Are they serious? Wow....it would certainly make me want to establish a residence there! I do admire Jimmy Reliford and Travis Coomer for their business prowess and success in their field. There's no question that they are a force in the oil business and make an economic impact in Adair County. I'm also very proud to be from Adair County and I appreciate all of our hard working citizens. But, did the writers, producers and directors really have portray our area with such uncultured, unrefined, and embarrassing flair? It certainly could have been produced in a much more positive light. We have lots of great things going on in South Central Kentucky and portrayals like this area are truly detrimental. Kentucky will shine on the international stage next week with the running of the 139th Kentucky Derby. The network will no doubt focus on the beauty of our Commonwealth through scenic vistas of our beautiful farms and majestic thoroughbreds. Let's hope that those guests planning a visit to the Bluegrass State for the "Run for the Roses" didn't watch "Backyard Oil". They might want to sell their tickets and watch from the comfort of their living room. My editorial contribution... --Doug Beard This story was posted on 2013-04-25 08:20:32
