Clerk Sheila Blair has LWC license Plates in stock



2011-01-06 . from office of Adair County Court Clerk
Adair Annex, 424 Public Square, Columbia, KY
Adair County Court Clerk Sheila Blair has Lindsey Wilson license plates, with the famous Begley Chapel Crown and the school's slogan, "Every Student, Every Day," available for immediate sale. Purchases of the plates help Lindsey Wilson in the competition of the Battle of the Plates, to see which school's plate is most popular, and, each purchase adds $10 to Lindsey Wilson's scholarship funds. According to Clerk Blair, you don't have to wait until your renewal time to get the Lindsey Wilson plate. "You'll get a credit for the unexpired time on your old plate," she said. The phone number at the clerk's office is (270) 384-2801.

Ruby Anne From Off, but Adair Countian through and through

Grandpa Charles Miller writes:
I don't know how many of your readers remember February 9th, 2008, when my granddaughter, Ruby Anne Miller, was born at Westlake Regional Hospital, but I surely do. Ruby was born at about 24 weeks and when she arrived at Kosair Hospital in Louisville, she weighed only 1 pound, 3 ounces. She is rapidly approaching her third birthday and is not experiencing any of the typical problems associated with premature birth. We are eternally grateful for the emergency room staff at Westlake, the Adair Ambulance Service which transported her to Campbellsville Hospital, the airlift team sent from Kosair and Kosair Hospital. Ruby spent three months in Louisville and God answered the prayers of his people from all over the country and she now is surpassing all of the typical milestones for non-premature births. Ruby Anne Miller "from off," but she is an Adair Countian through and through.Thanks for letting me vent. Charles "Grandpa" Miller.

Columbia, KY - Kentucky residents can show their support for Lindsey Wilson College by sporting a Lindsey Wilson license plate on their cars or trucks. And they can also help out a Lindsey Wilson student.

A Lindsey Wilson plate costs $44 upon initial issue and $31 at renewal. The license plate increases awareness of LWC and also raises funds for student scholarships; $10 from the sale of each plate goes to the Lindsey Wilson Fund, which provides scholarship aid to students.

Mr. Charles Snow Harris spoke from the heart

"Jim" nominates this great Adair County News editor for the Adair County Hall of Fame: Should there ever be created an Adair County Hall of Fame, Mr. Charles Snow Harris' name should head the list of names entered therein, primus inter pares.
Readers are requested to send their own nominations for the Adair County Hall of Fame using any Contact Form with as much supporting information, in story form as possible, along with photographs.-CM

by "Jim"

He spoke from the heart.

Inspired by the sense of believing we are right, and respecting honesty of purpose wherever found, our policy will be conservative--treating all people and parties with fairness--but will not stifle honest convictions for popular praise. (From the inaugural issue of the Adair County News, November 3, 1897.)

Joe Hare urges: Wear Blue on Friday to show support for troops

Blue on Fridays will show support for troops. Local restaurant is movement. Guest commentator says only two defining forces ever offered to die for you: 1) Jesus Christ and 2) The American G.I. Wants to see America a sea of blue every Friday

By Joe Hare

Whether you support our nation in its current conflicts (wars), or not we all should support our troops.

Majority of native Adair Countians, since 1986 now Amish?

"Jim" comments on the low number of natives anymore; or conversely, on the high percentage of people technically "From Off," on the day they enter the world:
Ed, I went back and took a closer look at the 1986-1999 births (the most current abstracts to which I have access) and was somewhat amazed what by what I found.

Of the 216 births recorded in Adair for that time period, 130 occurred in 1986 alone. (That drops the average for the remaining 13 years to 6.62/year.)

From 1987-1990 inclusive there were 22 births.

Of the remaining 64 births (1991-1999 inclusive), nearly all were to Mennonite or Amish parents. (Sorry, I can't recall which sect(s) reside in Adair County.)

It would certainly be interesting to see the stats/names for 2000-2010.

-JIM
A note: Adair County has not had major local obstetrics services since Adair Memorial Hospital closed over a half-century ago. "Jim," and I are taking the technical view of the situation in starting to acknowledging that Adair County is becoming indeed, a Nation of From Offs, with no comment on whether that is good or bad. It's just that it would be nice, were the priorities on health care as much a priority, if we considered some form of of baby delivery in Adair County, somewhere on the continuum between high tech and high touch, as Rowan County, KY offers.

Posting tax returns early can help with college financial aid

Denise Fudge, LWC VP for Education Outreach and Student Financial Services says early start on applications, with taxes already filed, can affect success in some situations

By Duane Bonifer

Columbia, KY - It's an annual spring ritual for many Americans to wait until the last minute to file their tax returns. But families with college-bound students could lose out on financial aid if they wait until April 15 to file this year.

"If you plan to attend college in the fall of 2011 and hope to receive financial aid, you should get your taxes done as soon as possible," said Denise Fudge, Lindsey Wilson College vice president for educational outreach and student financial services.

JIM: 110 years ago: Adair County meets the new century

A magnificent account of how far Columbia and Adair County have come in just 110 years. Some things were similar: There was a great religious fervor, the town treasury, similar to the city and county's of today, was well 'ahead of the hounds': And there is a news account of brain replacement surgery, in 1906 or so, following a muzzle-loader mishap. Jim's personal favorite column, and we wouldn't want to argue that point. -EW

By "Jim"

Happy New Year, Adair County!

For those of us who are grey (or white) of pate, it's hard to believe the second decade of the 21st century has dawned. No doubt, a similar thought crossed the mind of many an Adair Countian on January 1, 1901 with the arrival of the new century. One must wonder how a then-citizen of Columbia or Ozark or Breeding or White Oak or Bliss would react to the Adair County of today.
