Wrong Rain, not Dought, that ruined Hancock Road Blackberries Murrell Burton says the wild Blackberry Crop is looking doubtful this year on his part of Hancock Road in Vester. "They look scrunchy, little bitty this year," The cause, he said was a May 13 rain. "There was an old woman who told me once that if there was to be a shower on May 13, look out for a bad blackberry crop." He doesn't know where the idea came from, but it happened this year. He's thinking brought on, store bought, or dry May 13 blackberries from other parts this year. -EW 2012-06-27 18:06:05 | Comments | Printable version

Traffic: Joe Hare has warning for people headed north on 1-65 He thinks it best to stay in the country Joe Hare writes: Ed, a warning to our people headed north on I-65, they are saying the the bridge is two lane, just had a report from my Army buddy headed back to Chicago the this is true. But what they seem to have forget to tell us is that I-65 in Louisville close to the bridge is down to one lane. It took Ski 45 minutes to go the last 2 miles getting to the Kennedy Bridge. This was after rush hour, as he left Columbia this morning at 09:30CT, thus he was going through Louisville around noon. Good luck if you are going north, believe I will stay around the country. --Joe HareComments re photo 45769 Kennedy Bridge Construction Map June 26 2012 2012-06-27 13:18:05 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

Adair Co. Hospital District plans tax that will survive WRH sale Story in progress; now posted:
Next here: The Adair County Hospital Board of Trustees - CHAIRMAN JIM EVANS, and members John Nall, Russell Guy Perkins, Bruce White, and Josh Harden - voted last night to initiate fast track re-institution of a tax to survive the proposed sale of Westlake Hospital. Spectrum Health Partners' Rodger Klein reports record low census, $658,677 deficit for month of May, 2012 with cumulative loss of over $2.5 million under Spectrum Health Partners management. Interim CEO, Spectrum's Tim Menton announces departure. Interim CFO, Rodger Klein, rotates to CEO. "Shortfall" guesstimate from Spectrum Healthcare Partner Ken Doran, now at $2.5 million (and may grow; unlikely to be reduced) will face Hospital District - but not Adair Fiscal Court, Rodger Klein said- should sale go through. Good News One less Spectrum Health Partner to pay for: Columbian Tammy Curry steps up to Chief Financial Officer. By Ed Waggener Story in Progress It now appears that Adair County taxpayers may be left with a Spectrum Health Partners/Current Adair County Hospital Board legacy tax to pay for the "shortfall" should a proposed sale of Westlake Regional Hospital assets to LifePoint go through. At last night's Board of Trustees' meeting - Tuesday, June 26, 2012 - now Interim CEO Rodger Klein unveiled plans to initiate a fast track re-institution of a 3.7 cent per $100 of property tax to pay for a "shortfall" in the sale now guesstimated by Ken Doran of Spectrum at $2.5 million dollars.

Reader salutes LWC/Somerset students for generosity Wonders why bakery goods at retail outlets thrown away instead of being used to feed needy Comments re article 52769 LWC Somerset students help meet areas needs Peg Schaeffer writes: I was (a store) yesterday at the reduced bakery cart at the rear of the store. A woman from the bakery department started to wheel the cart away and I asked her what they do with the left over baked goods. She said they just throw it away. What a shame! Why can't this food be donated to a soup kitchen that could feed the needy? Congratulations to the LWC students for their generosity. - Peg SchaefferThanks, Peg Schaeffer, as always, for finding a practical, direct solution to problems. Interestingly, this brings to mind one local restaurant, which takes perfectly good meals which are not sold to the Adair County Regional Jail Class D, facility. However, in fairness to stores who might be the victim of manipulation of the over supply, in the instance cited, the owner has complete control over the production, sales, and disposition of the surplus food. That might not be the case for chain stores. -EW 2012-06-27 03:49:58 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Commentary
