Letter: Reason Pipes Were Painted Red About: Downtown Details Jefferson Alley Jelaine Harlow writes: If my memory serves me correctly the pipes in this photo were painted red several years ago when my late husband Billy Phillips and his son painted the bank. The reasoning behind this, and correct me, Robert Flowers if I am wrong, was to bring attention to them in the narrow alley so drivers would be less likely to hit them. 2009-11-15 19:22:26 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
Reader asks how much is enough for schools About: The difference 21 per person per year can make To ColumbiaMagazine.com All I hear is how much it will cost on an average, enough. How much is it going to cost each one of us. I am a business owner and have talked to several people and one person who is a big property owner told me it would make $4,000.00 difference in his taxes; and, yes, I said "difference." In today's aconomy people are just making ends meet; that is, people that work for a living. There are a lot of exploded salaries in the county, but for people that work for a living, and I speak for me and several people, we are taxed to death. This country was founded on taxation without representation and look what we have become. Something I would like posted for every one to see is how much tax dollars are collected in Adair County for the school on utility bills alone. I have asked a few people and no answer. If you post this or not is up to you and I am not trying to make anybody upset. Just telling my side and asking how much $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ is enough.Thank you. s/Larry Foster, Jr. Thanks for your comment. You're right. A person with approximately $8,000,000 (Eight Million Dollars) in property assessment in Adair County would pay $4,000 difference in taxes if the tax needed to get a new Col. Wm Casey school wins on the ballot. If your assessment is in the $70,000 range, however, it will cost approximately $35 more, per year, in taxes. The amount of money collected by the school board and spent by the school board is public record. The office isn't open at this time (Sunday afternoon) so we can't answer your question on utilities tax, but it easy to get during business hours. Thanks for stating your position in a courteous manner. -EW 2009-11-15 17:45:47 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

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.

On CWC Question: Agrees new school needed, but wants different approach The writer of the article below agrees that the school needs replacing, but thinks a different approach is needed. While there may be some validity in a few of his stands, that there a need for improving critical thinking, and math and science skills, we think that point merely substantiates the need for finding an immediate solution to a critical problem, NOW. There will be time for him and others to start attending school board meetings, running for the offices, and giving critical advice from close up. We'd also disagree with the assertion that the school board does not have a very definite plan about how the money is spent. His article does meet CM's standards for civil discourse, and is printed in that spirit. -EW About: CWC: Is it fair for everyone to have to pay for better school building Commentary by Jon Halsey At an age when I no longer have kids in school (but do have great-grand-kids) I've paid a good chunk of change to support public schools even though my own children went to tuition based schools.

A Kindred Spirit: Romance, Richard Gere, and Tennis Shoes I have often accused my husband of not getting what it means to be romantic. Remember the movie Shall We Dance with Richard Gere and Jennifer Lopez? There is a scene in the movie that never fails to make my heart skip a beat. Remember when he comes up the escalator to see his wife? She's at work and he is wearing a tuxedo and carrying a dozen roses. Oh my goodness, does your heart not melt? The next earlier Teresa Kindred column, A Kindred Spirit:Why the chiropracter is my best friend Romance, Richard Gere and Tennis Shoes by Teresa Bell Kindred www.nanahood.com Bill, my husband, has worked hard at understanding the female psyche and what it takes to keep me happy. We've been married 29 years and it's taken him awhile but he's finally catching on. One of my favorite "He just doesn't get it" stories happened when our twins were born.

Carol Perkins: GPS Carol Perkins examines the advantages of Global Positioning System devices, and comes to the conclusion that extremely limited: they are only for those who actually follow directions The next earlier Carol Perkins story: Deliver the Letter. The Sooner the Better By Carol Perkins My first experience with a GPS (Global Positioning System) was with some of my friends on a road trip to Atlanta via Boaz, AL. I had traveled this route several times when Guy was working in the area, so I felt I could get us from Edmonton to Huntsville and then to Boaz easily. However, because one of the women had a GPS in her purse, the others thought we should try to follow it just for fun. This gadget was new to all of us. After rummaging through her possessions, the owner pull out the small screen and plugged the cord into the cigarette lighter. Whoever was riding in the front had to hold the GPS up to the window in order to have satellite service. Someone typed in BOAZ, AL and the "voice" took over from there.

Card of thanks from the family of Neal Smith To all who have helped: The family of Richard Smith (Neal) would like to thank all you who gave any act of kindness or just thought of us in the time of Neal's accident. There is no way we could mention each one individually.There was such an outpouring of love with money, phone calls, visits, and most of all your prayers. A special thank you to The Adair County Ambulance Service, Westlake Cumberland Hospital, Stat Flight, and all the personnel whom assisted the accident and the prompt response and care he received. When the days looked dark and gloomy it was comfort knowing you was all thinking of us. Neal is doing better however; he still has a lot of hills to climb in which he still needs prayer. Everyday looks brighter for him and we believe he will have a full recovery. Again you will never know how much we appreciate everything that you have done. Thanks again with love, s/Ruth Smith and Neal, Cassie, and Jayden 2009-11-15 06:30:21 | Comments | Printable version
CWC: Is it fair for everyone to have to pay for better school building About: The difference $21 per person per year can make Eddie: What about those of us that don't have kids in Adair County Schools? Is it fair for me to pay taxes for something that does not or will never apply to me or my family or is the act of a local socialist goverment? And I will do as dictated by those who look to the poor and middle class to support their lifestyles. s/1SG (ret) JIm Beard Thanks, as always, for adding your comments on CM. Your question is on the mind of a lot of people who don't have kids. Many people may have felt that way at first, until they looked at what would happen to the whole economy if we don't do the best we can the kids, and many of them find the tax worth the sacrifice. Some who signed the petition are changing their minds, we hear. And some who've taken a second look at the tax find that it isn't falling unfairly on the poor and middle class, but on the very wealthy, who will paying 100's of times what the poor and middle class will pay for the new schools -EW 2009-11-15 06:21:30 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

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.

KY Color: Yellow leaves of Redbud tree By Billy Joe Fudge Red Bud is generally considered to be the earliest color in the spring here in Kentucky but most haven't noticed that it is also about the last color in the fall. A beautiful late season yellow that is often mottled with green and brown can be seen in our yards, along our streets, edges of fields, and rural roadsides. Of course, Red Bud leaves are heart shaped and easily recognized by their shape in combination with the zig zag shape of the twigs. This is the only genetically programmed crooked twig with which I am familiar. Looks like a perfect solar collector. Red Bud is very susceptible to heart rot and the wood is not very strong even though it is very hard. Red Bud trees in urban landscapes must be pruned correctly to increase their life span, enhance their beauty, and prevent the multiple forks from premature splitting. 2009-11-15 05:30:57 | Comments | Printable version
