Mark Hale comments on school buildings A Differing Viewpoint: This is Mark Hale's opinion, which we respect, but it differs a great deal from our own. CM is for the new school, for more local funding for local schools, and we believe the key to economic development is better public education. What we do have in common with most here is to have more local control of the schools - and that necessarily entails taxes. -EW By Mark Hale Personal commentary I have been saying it for about a year now."

Birds of KY: Roger Smith wants info on Milamor Roger D Smith DMD writes: Ed - This morning while enjoying morning coffee I happened to be in the company of retired game warden and revered amateur ornithologist Ralph Jackson and learned of a new fowl that had migrated into our area. Being Ralph, he would not go into great detail about the bird, but on prodding he did say that the bird was a Milamor.Since many of your readers, as well as myself, would be interested in the identifying marks of this fowl I appeal to you to investigate this sighting. -ROGER D.
