We can save our hospital By Billy Joe Fudge Personal commentary The way I see it at this point in time, we the people have only two options:
If there are other options we need to hear about them. I know we can save our hospital now that we have removed our heads from the sand. We just have to stop the fear-mongering, the name calling, the blame game, and go to work. - Billy Joe Fudge 2012-08-02 16:32:54 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Commentary
His family called them: Low caterpillars John Howery writes: We - the kids along my road - grew up calling these critters "low" caterpillars -- I suppose because they seemed to hang their cocoons and turn into moths low in the many apple and pear trees that were around. I think they're actually named "Lo" (not "Io") catepillars. I remember they liked my mother's flowers as well, and as soon as they were spotted, out would come the pump tubes of rose and vegetable powder for the garden and sprays for the trees. I recall the sting to be about like that of a bee or wasp except they could get ya two or three times. Pretty, but aggravating - for sure. --John HoweryComments re article 53482 More on that bad caterpillar which stung that woman 2012-08-02 15:39:46 | Comments | Printable version

Commentary: Will Fiscal Court give leadership to save WRH? If history provides insight, the outlook is bleak, writer notes. After the people had spoken and in 1949. when a 20 bed hospital with two thirds of the cost borne by the Federal Government under the Hill-Burton Act, it was stopped cold in its tracks, Enter the Fiscal Court, slouching toward infamy, ready and willing to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. It would take 9 more years before Adair Memorial Hospital became a reality. The QUESTION TODAY: Will today's Fiscal Court man up and meet the challenge and save Westlake Regional Hospital from a sale or closure, either of which will be the worst disaster in the 200 year history of the county? We know they can. And we think they will. -EW By Jim Garner "Maybe the one set of people, the Adair Fiscal Court (Magistrates & CJE) who can provide the leadership to save the hospital for the community, will do so, Now." If history is any indicator, this will occur immediately after icicles form in Southern climes. In the fall of 1949, in the most overwhelming bipartisan vote ever cast in Adair County, voters approved a $120,000 hospital bond by an 85%-15% margin. Under the Hill-Burton Act then in effect, the federal government would shoulder one-third of the construction cost. Shortly thereafter, the Act was amended such that the government would bear two-thirds of the cost, and in June, 1950, the Adair County News received notification by wire from Washington, D.C. the hospital had been approved: Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2012-08-02 13:05:15 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Commentary

Citizen of the Real World: Opinion - Corporation buying company William Reed writes: In the real world where I come from, if a Corporation buys a Company, not only do they get all its assets, but they also assume its debts. Why should the citizens of Adair County have to be taxed just so they can purchase our hospital. If our government wants to impose the tax, then let them put it on the November Ballot and let the citizens vote yea or nay for the tax. - William ReedComments re article 53479 Tax has been surprise outsourcing already underway 2012-08-02 07:07:25 | Comments | Printable version

Tax has been surprise; outsourcing already underway 'This brings us around to the one question we ask again and again: If someone wants to buy us, they believe they can make money with Westlake Regional Hospital. If they can do it, why can't we?- PEGGY FUDGE By Peggy Fudge Personal commentary I am embarassed to admit my ignorance of laws about taxes. I pretty much whine and pay, but the hospital tax has brought a question to my mind: Just who has the right to institute a tax on a local population? It seems odd that a body of appointed members such as a hospital board can tax us.

Larry Smith says fog a factor - thick as a brick Larry Smith, the intrepid commuter to the WAVE, FM 92.7 radio studio and Tall Tower at the top of the Russell Creek Hills snug up against the Adair-Russell County line, reports a perilous fog between Campbellsville and Columbia this morning. "Visibility was almost zero on both sides of the Green River Bridge," he said, "and not much better the rest of the way." He urges caution for commuters until this fog of August rises or burns off. "Fog is a factor," he said. "It's thick as a brick. Everybody needs to use extreme caution if they are out early." 2012-08-02 05:52:51 | Comments | Printable version
