Carol Perkins: The Birthday Gift Previous Column: Carol Perkins: Title IX By Carol Perkins In trying to find a gift for Guy for his birthday, I came up with a unique and somewhat off-the-wall idea. Guy loves walking on the beach, so I tried to think of something along those lines. He has binoculars, so that was out. He had beach-walking shoes, so I ruled that out. Sunglasses...has those, too. I searched online and found a great idea, or I thought it was. A metal detector! He could walk along with the beach in the early morning hours and search for precious jewels or whatever might be there. This would be something new and maybe fun! I looked at the various kinds, and most of them were large and bundlesome and would draw attention to an otherwise private walker. He wouldn't want a stranger stopping him with a "Finding anything?" question. Then the perfect metal detector flew off the page. A hand-held one-a wand. When he opened his gift, he was speechless, but not necessarily in a "Wow, this is wonderful" kind of way.

New Blessing Boxes placed in Adair County From Heather Dudley/Bradley Stephens The Salvation Army, Columbia Unit, meets throughout the year to identify and discuss needs in the community. This past year, food insecurity was identified as a high need, and blessing boxes in the county would be most beneficial at this time. Ricky Roy, with Building and Apartment Maintenance (Office of Career Technology Education) constructed the boxes in his classroom at Adair YDC. Two boxes have been placed in the community and we couldn't be more excited! One box has been 'adopted' by Knifley Chapel Brethren in Christ, located at 6029 Elkhorn Road, Knifley KY. The second box has been 'adopted' by Flatwoods Separate Baptist Church, located at 1025 Wheeler Hill Road, Columbia KY. We encourage you to utilize these blessing boxes if you are in need. 2023-01-20 06:32:41 | Comments | Printable version
Letter: Half staff article David Parrish writes: The etiquette around lowering the flag to half-staff is pretty settled. Civics class teaches the President of the United States and the governor of a State can order the lowering of a flag to half-mast. The mayor of the District of Columbia and some heads of federal agencies over their specific departments may as well. Any other order is not recognized as appropriate and in contradiction of proper etiquette and respect for the flag. Another means should have been selected as an appropriate response to the legacy of the magistrate.Comments re: Flag to half staff at Annex 2023-01-20 06:32:15 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
