March 7, 1978 Around Adair with Ed Waggener The article below first appeared in the March 7, 1978, issue of the Adair County News. Topics included Red Nixon's set shot, Sue Stivers' manners class, Onion Soup, customer service at the L.R. Chelf store in Knifley, the Rev. Eldon Trubee's advice on goal-setting, and Dr. G.V. Page's physics class at WKU. --Pen By Ed Waggener Red headed luck Adair County High may be playing in the State Tournament next week for the first time in 23 years. I could have guessed. I was in the same class with Indian mentor Glynn "Red" Nixon, and, even then, the fellow had uncanny luck. I remember one night Mr. Burr substituted Red into a game when Red was a sophomore I believe. I don't think any of us had faith Red could even get the ball up from more than 25 feet. But the first time he got a pass the ball, he fired a 30- foot set shot. It was the prettiest sight you ever saw. Swish! Adair County will likely play Taylor County in the finals on Saturday night. Taylor County has already beaten them four times. This time Adair County will win because of the Old Rule of Fortune that you can't beat the same team five times in one season, and because, with Red's luck, ACHS could beat Marquette one out of five. A school of "nice" After seeing the difference in the fortunes of retailers who know how to make a customer feel welcome and those who do not, I had often wondered why we couldn't do more here in Adair County to make sure that visitors to our town would always leave with pleasant memories of our people, complimentary of their friendliness and eager to return.

Additional fishing access opens at Taylorsville Lake WMA From Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Frankfort, KY - A portion of Old River Road paralleling the Salt River in Anderson County opens Saturday, March 7 to anglers wishing to fish the headwaters of Taylorsville Lake for the spring white bass run.
