CWC: Everyone should pay something to support the society in which they live CWC: Is it fair for everyone to have to pay for better school building? Commentary by Robert Stone My first inclination was to say that this letter was most un-Christian but not everyone is a Christian. But it espouses a very unfriendly lifestyle. Does the writer think that nothing will ever happen to him where help from someone will be necessary? And won't he want that help to be from someone who has been trained to give the best help? 2009-11-16 07:43:55 | Comments | Printable version
Contributor opinion: Keep government out of smoking issue <But Mark Hale calls on smokers to be more considerate of others, especially in confined places like restaurants.

CWC: Yes. We will fix things when there is a problem I don't know of a town, state, or country for that matter, that doesn't have children, or taxes. -SHAMARIE CLAIBORNE Commentary written in response to letter from Jim Beard Commentary by Shamarie Claiborne I generally try to create a solution to problems and stay out public debates, but I cannot stay out of this one any longer. I take personal pride in being a member of Adair County, I am proud of our local government, I am proud of this community. With that being said - people who move here from other parts of the nation I try to welcome and make them feel at home here, I encourage them to become active in our society, and I appreciate their fresh input. The conflict comes when those that are not raised here want to act as if we are backwards. 2009-11-15 13:52:51 | Comments | Printable version
Rev. Joey N. Welsh A time for everything, even on borrowed time ANOTHER ANGLE: the occasional musings of a Kentucky pastorA Time for Everything, Even on Borrowed Time a timely reprint of an earlier article posted October 6, 2006 By The Rev. Joey N. Welsh E-mail: joey_n_welsh@hotmail.com In one of my columns earlier in the summer I referred to one of my favorite chapters in the Bible, Ecclesiastes 3, that speaks eloquently to so many situations in life. Its opening verses came to mind the other day because they speak to death as well as to life situations. Ecclesiastes 3:1-2 reads: "To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:Though death is a part of our reality, we often do our best to deny its place in the grand scheme of things. Our society seems intent on defying the aging process, and we have developed surgical procedures to help in our denial. 2009-11-15 05:42:28 | Comments | Printable version

This article clarifies where school funds come from and how restrictions on how it can be spent School districts receive funds from several sources.

COF: Miss Patty, and her long suffering teachers, need new facility "Anyone who is agin a new building should hang their head in shame," COF says, but he says it doesn't need the whoop-de-doos that will be justified as necessary, such as a state of the art gymnasium About: Col. Wm. Casey School is in dire need of replacement The COF, Hiding out at Dun Roman Miss Patty and her long-suffering teachers are surely to be commended for the job they do under such trying circumstances and I agree with Mr McCammish and others who have opined. We definitely need new facilities but just the same I can't help but thinking t'wasn't that long ago when the elementary schools had no air conditioning but did have winders that propped up. 2009-11-03 16:24:15 | Comments | Printable version

A citizen speaks out on school tax: says Adair Co. must face truths "The quality of life we experience tomorrow will most likely be a direct result of what we do or don't do today." BILLY JOE FUDGE By Billy Joe Fudge Citizen of Adair County Concerning about any issue it can be said that enough good can be found to justify supporting it and enough bad can be found to justify opposing it. I believe this statement is applicable and very relevant to the current half cent tax issue facing us here in Adair County. Many well meaning and conscientious citizens find themselves on opposite sides of the fence from neighbors, friends, and even other family members. 2009-10-28 04:30:29 | Comments | Printable version
Rev. Joey N. Welsh. reprint from Oct. 22, 2006: Persistence ANOTHER ANGLE: the occasional musings of a Kentucky pastor By the Rev. Joey N. Welsh E-Mail: joey_n_welsh@hotmail.com A CENTENARY CELEBRATION OF PERSISTENCE In the Bible the concept of persistence is a double-edged blade; it can slice either toward the very positive or the very negative aspects of faith and behavior. In his farewell speech Samuel, Old Testament prophet and leader, imparted advice to all of Israel (I Samuel 12:24-25), “But be sure to fear the LORD and serve him faithfully with all your heart; consider what great things he has done for you. Yet if you persist in doing evil, both you and your king will be swept away." (NIV) 2009-10-25 04:54:07 | Comments | Printable version
Mark Hale: A comment on man and the environment After seeing photo: Kentucky Color: Tic Tac Toe Comment by Mark Hale Neat picture, I've always enjoyed anything to do with aircraft. I think the ability for us to fly is one of man's biggest accomplishments when it comes to inventions. On the argument of climate change, I believe man should do things to help our environment, but at the same time we need not choke ourselves to the point we can't invent or keep on working. 2009-10-23 11:14:20 | Comments | Printable version
Spend a Nickel: Ralph Waggener's personal opinion on school tax Guest Commentary by Ralph R. Waggener Editor & Publisher, "It's Just for a Smile News, Columbia, KY Will we vote for the nickel tax for a new school? Most likely not. You know it's easy to find reasons not to support a tax increase and I myself am against most.

Carol Perkins: The Bullfight It was on a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Mexico that she saw the awful truth of the often romanticized "sport." The barbarity of the event had the writer cheering for the bull. She's just wired that way. She says. Next earlier Carol Perkins essay, Right now in a minute By Carol Perkins The Bullfight The senors and senoritas, adorned in their bright reds and oranges and yellows, filed into the arena for the afternoon, bringing with them their grandmothers, grandfathers, and children. At one time there was a law that an eighteen-year-old was banned from attending, but there was such an uproar by parents that the law was rescinded. 2009-10-11 10:54:50 | Comments | Printable version

There will be 2 Tom Chaney columns for today The next earlier Tom Chaney author review of Bonnie and Clyde By Tom Chaney bookstore@scrtc.com Cussing with Imagination Once in a while I reach into the grab bag of the past and pull out a column, dust it off, fluff it up and run it again. Such is the case this week. Here goes! Just as World War Two was ending, our father started on a major renovation of the house we lived in at the corner of Main and Yancey in Horse Cave. We lived in the house all during the work, at one point moving into just one room with all the furniture. 2009-10-11 08:35:12 | Comments | Printable version

Rev. Joey N. Welsh annual reprint: Autumn, transitions ANOTHER ANGLE: The occasional musings of a Kentucky Pastor. This article is an annual reprint, very appropriate to today. By The Rev. Joey N. Welsh joey_n_welsh@hotmail.com Autumn: Endings, Beginnings, and Transitions The coming of autumn reminds us again of the transitional quality of existence. No season, no status, no condition is forever. Whether we talk about the calendar or the weather or our own lives, some things are always coming to an end while other things are being born or renewed. In our part of the northern hemisphere fall is the time when the growing season comes to an end and the world seems to die away as winter approaches. 2009-09-27 09:08:05 | Comments | Printable version
Rev. Joey N. Welsh: Being first, at least for awhile ANOTHER ANGLE: the occasional musings of a Kentucky pastor. Previously posted September 17, 2006 By The Rev. Joey N. Welsh joey_n_welsh@hotmail.com BEING FIRST, AT LEAST FOR AWHILE All of the synoptic Gospels, Matthew, Mark and Luke, contain Jesus teaching that the human view of rank and status is seldom the divine outlook. According to Matthew 19:30, many who are first will be last, and many who are last will be first. (NIV) The context in Matthew 19 is the story of the rich young ruler who went away in sadness after Jesus had asked the young man to leave behind his wealth and follow as a disciple. Jesus subsequent teachings in that chapter about status and possessions end with verse 30. In Matthew 20 the parable of the workers in the vineyard concludes with verse 16: So the last will be first, and the first will be last." 2009-09-20 06:56:48 | Comments | Printable version
Carol Perkins: What Page? 'Most of the time, I try to hang out on the same page with others just to get along, but I probably never saw a place for me within the paragraphs. I've lived too long on my own page to try to get on the same page with others.' -Carol Perkins Next earlier Carol Perkins story: Ma and Pa Kettle By Carol Perkins What Page? "I don't want to be on your page. We are not on the same page and never will be; not ever." Have you ever wanted to say that after hearing this phrase the hundredth time? Do those words make you want to choke someone? They unravel me and make me shiver. 2009-09-06 04:19:03 | Comments | Printable version
Being a volunteer doesn't mean joining, but that helps About: Volunteer service most enjoyable time of life By Stephanie Caldwell I wholeheartedly agree! l I deal with two local volunteer agencies, and volunteering is one of the most appreciated and rewarding things you can do. When you are gone people may remember who your family was, what your chosen profession was, or what talents you possessed, but what will really stick with them is what you did for others. 2009-09-05 07:03:44 | Comments | Printable version
Volunteer service most enjoyable time of life About: Barbara Armitage: Improving Adair County by the numbers By Bobby D. Morrison Right on Barbara, Keep on Preaching and maybe some will hear.

Barbara Armitage: Improving Adair County by the numbers Adair County has almost unlimited talent, volunteers, and available leadership, president of dynamic, making a difference Adair County Garden Club says. If every Adair Countian gave just 10 hours of volunteer time, we could have 28 rose gardens around the county By Barbara Armitage, President, Adair Co. Garden Club Volunteers are being born every day. There is absolutely nothing we couldn't do in our community if everyone would pitch in. We have about 17,000 people in Adair County. If everyone one of them would commit just 10 hours to some type of community volunteer program every year we would have a pool of 170,000 hours.
