Satellite campus public hearing: Artist & Artisan support 2013-12-11 - Adair Annex, 424 Public Square, Columbia, KY - Photo by Shamarie Claiborne, Adair Co. School District photo. Artist Cassie Davenport and Master Welder Winston Keltner chatted before the hearing Tuesday night, December 10, 2013, on the new Lake Cumberland Technology satellite campus public hearing was held. Davenport told the audience about having a welder-father who helped her get a start in the craft, but wishes that she could have also had classes available in high school or at the University of Kentucky to learn the craft. She's a noted artist, an Adair resident, and a teacher in the Green County School District. Winston Keltner, right told the audience of his excitement that welding classes will be readily at hand for Adair County students, how he'd had to travel - sometimes out of state - to obtain training essential to his livelihood. He's a Master Welder, an entrepreneur at the top tier of his calling, and operates a private business in Columbia. Back to camera Debra Wimmer, art teacher in Adair County schools, told the audience how importatnt the new campus will be to students in her classes. The intense interest from members of the art world came as a pleasant surprise when the welding center was first announced. Interest had been expected from Adair County's farm community, from local industry, and from vocational education advocates and Career Ready enthusiasts, but the artists' interests made the proposal even more convinincing.

Before an event to remember 2013-12-11 - Adair Annex Parking Lot, 424 Public Square, Columbia, KY - Photo by Shamarie Claiborne, Adair Co. School District photo. Lake Cumberland Area Development District's Judy Keltner, conferred with Adair County School Superintendent Alan Reed prior to last night's public hearing to show community support for now nearly realized Vo-Ag Satellite campus of Lake Cumberland Area Technology Center. It was a pre-liminary meeting, to the main event, Adair County Fiscal Court meeting, one of a kind often to be used to fill in the paperwork, one which would have drawn 10 or 20 people coerced to be there. What happened was one of the most memorable in Adair County History. The Annex basement was packed. When the very brief meeting was turned over to public comment, testimony was from the heart, and memorable, with a common theme, "A dream is coming true." A decade's old answer to, "Why doesn't Adair County have a vocational school"? Now it appears to be almost a certainty. Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
