Court votes $3,200 for pagers for Knifley Volunteer Fire Department

Fiscal court voted unanimously to buy eight Motorola pagers for the Knifley Area Volunteer Fire Department (KAVFD) after hearing a presentation from Gayla Baker, treasurer of the KAVFD at last night's Adair County Fiscal Court meeting.

Baker noted that the department serves an area which has poor cell phone service, and that the area the KAVFD serves one of the most sparsely populated area of the Adair County.

The vote came on a motion by Sixth District Magistrate Joe Rogers, in whose district the Knifley Fire Department is headquartered, and was seconded by Magistrate Danny Goodin (1), whose district is partially served by the KAVFD.

The cost of the pagers will be $3,200.

Adair County Judge Executive Ann Melton announced that the county is working to secure a grant for a new roof at the Knifley fire station.

Accompanying Treasurer Baker to the meeting were KAVFD Assistant Chief Brett Farmer, KAVFD Board Vice Chairman Richie Gabehart, and KAVFD member Kim Farmer.

Diner News from Jamestown - Politicians And Fishermen . . .

This year will be a highly unusual season with both politicians and fisherman simultaneously criss-crossing the state.

by John E. Moss, posted from Jamestown, Russell County, KY

At the Manners diner on Monument Square, little has been said about the pilfering of Campaign signs last friday night. There seemed to be bigger and more important fish to fry. An unnamed local source, who used to be a judge, was talking about recently catching a fish. He said that one fish wasn't quite enough for his appetite and he was going to have to get up to at least a few two fish days. Generally, most gathered at the diner thought this was a good idea though it should be noted for the record that no one challenged the fish story itself.

Veteran Joe Hare echoes Walter Murley view on flags

About: Walter Murley: Some flags around Columbia, KY need attention

To ColumbiaMagazine.com:

Thanks to my fellow veteran, Walter Murley, for noticing and commenting on the shape of some of our local flags. He is correct, those places he named do have flags that need to be replaced or straightened out. I encourage anyone else who has a flag flying to check it out and bring it up to standards.

Below is a link to etiquette for our flag or you can just Google "American Flag Etiquette". There are several sites that will guide us all on the proper display and etiquette of the American Flag, including this one: www.usflag.org.

Adair geography lessons get deeper, with one on Hooterville

About: Tarter, Adair Co., KY finally located

To "Jim" via CM:

How about any latest news from Hooterville, Jim? I believe it was out Tarter way. I recall seeing it on a map. I believe there is a Hooterville Road still in use in Eastern Adair Co. Could Hooterville have a connection to Hoot Owl Hollow, which lies east of Gentry's Mill Road, south of Santo Road?

Baby So Soft campaign will help Kosair newborns

Mother's experience there moves her to help mothers who cannot afford the softer blankets which are more comforting to the precious new ones - and to their mothers, who are are stressed for worry over their 'little miracle babies'
By Monica Rodgers-Shuffett

It is hard to fathom how much a blanket can help a baby, but believe me - it really does. My son, Avery spent 4 weeks at Kosair Children's Hospital. During our stay- I would sit at the hospital for 14-16 hours per day. I would wrap my little Avery in his own soft blanket and cuddle up to him. He would sleep soundly while I cried and rocked him. The blanket was as much comforting to me as it was to him.

Walter Murley: Some flags around Columbia, KY need attention

To ColumbiaMagazine.com:

I have noticed several American flags around Columbia needing attention. Flag at City Hall needs replacing and the one at the old courthouse is tangled in the rope. I have also noticed several at different places that need attention. Springtime is just around the corner. If people could check their flags and replace them if they need attention it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Gentrys Mill is a few communities NE of Youngs Mill

About: Map of Adair Co., KY sparks interest in Gentrys Mill

To ColumbiaMagazine.com:

Youngs Mill was located in closer proximity to Ozark and Joppa than it was to Gentrys Mill. I am not as familiar with the community of Gentrys Mill but it is a few communities northeast away from Youngs Mill.

Someone had misidentified the Freedom Cemetery as being located in the Gentrys Mill community on Findagrave.com. It is my understanding that the Freedom Cemetery is located in the Freedom community which is near Roy, White Oak, and Ozark. Freedom is located closer to these communities than it is to Gentrys Mill.
