Remembering Roy Harrington: He was one of a kind ’We lost one of the good ones this week’ - MS By Melissa Stone Roy Harrington was one of a kind. He had a knack for telling great stories and lived his life, on his terms, in a manner that allowed for him to be the subject of many of the best stories. He was a devoted husband, father and grandfather; a loyal friend; a patriotic veteran; and an honorable man. We lost one of the good ones this week; but Duuude - as long as Rita, Mel, Cooper, Garner, Skippy, Spearchucker, Doc, Pooh, or the scores of others who loved you have a breath left in their body - you will not be forgotten. It was an honor to have been able to count you as a friend. - Melissa Stone Comments re article 56144 Roy Andrew Harrington Taylor Co KY 19482012 2012-11-30 16:23:55 | Comments | Printable version

Ed Pipalski: Thinks stress should be on unity Comments re article 56140 A quick look at EqualityDiversity in Adair County Ed Pipalski writes: How about just a simple "E Pluribus Unum" meaning "out of many one". The motto on the Great Seal of the United States. Or perhaps "United we stand, divided we fall\"? Leaves to question "Unity" or "Diversity"; they are opposites: Unity: undivided or unbroken, Diversity: disimilarity, difference, unlike. Just a thought. --Ed PipalskiAnd a very good thought, too Thanks, Ed Pipalski, for that insight. -EW 2012-11-30 15:03:09 | Comments | Printable version

A quick look at Equality/Diversity in Adair County By Ed Waggener When Judge-elect Judy Vance is sworn into office today, Adair County will be more gender equal than ever. Here's a look a quick scan of that picture - including racial diversity in leadership positions for several major institutions in Adair County:
Adair County seems to be doing very well. Ironies abound: Most of the female elected officials in the highest posts are Republicans, although a popular notion is that Democrats are the party which champions women's advancement the most. And there is the irony of racial acceptance. A Kentucky governor, a Democrat, inherited a parallel situation to his presidential counterpart, a Democrat. And both performed at parallel levels of extraordinary competence. Kentuckians overwhelming back their Governor, but by the same margin went against their President. One might think there was a shade of difference, which brought on the outcome. But if it were racial, what explains the winning margin of minority candidate, Quinn Lasley, and the near win of Craig Lasley for the six member City Council? Just something to think about, when we ponder who we are and what we believe, and what actions we take. - Ed Waggener 2012-11-30 09:44:29 | Comments | Printable version
