Thanks to Community, from The Hingles PSALMS 36:1-2: "Oh give Thanks to the Lord for He is good , For His lovingkindness is everlasting. Give Thanks to the God of gods.

Doug Mullins withdraws his candidacy for 51st District Representative POLITICS Doug Mullins has announced that he will withdraw his candidacy for state representative for the 51st district which includes Taylor and Adair Counties. Mullins has been diagnosed with lung cancer, the treatment for which will require a combination of radiation and chemotherapy. The debilitating effects of the illness and the treatment will make it impossible for him to run an effective campaign and if elected, to serve effectively during the first year of the term, he said. Mullins says he feels that it would be unfair to the citizens of Taylor and Adair counties to be asked to elect a candidate who will not be able to carry out the duties of the office. He expresses his thanks and appreciation to all the people who have contributed their time and money to his campaign. 2008-08-12 01:56:37 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Politics Birthdays and Anniversaries for August 12 Happy Anniversary, Dennis and Kathy Powell (1977) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Anniversary, Don and Faye Bault (1961) Happy Anniversary, Ray and Brenda Prock (1960) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Amanda Taylor | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Amy Martin | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Anita Vanarsdale | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Billy Lacy (1940) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Brody Coffey | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Chass Isabelle (1975) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Daniel Ross Kermeen | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Daryl Wilson | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Derrick Shane Pickett (1996) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Graham Waggener (2001) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, John Hojnik (1930) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Lucy Scott Yarberry | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Mollie Quinn | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Nicholas Honaker (2009) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Skyler Moss | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Tanner Lewis | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Trenton Page | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Garnett Davis, 90, Taylor Co., KY (1926-2016) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Rhymon Shorty Claywell, Russell Springs, KY (1939-2018) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Gerald Rousey, Hustonville, KY (1949-2019) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, William Taylor Thistlewaite, MD, Metcalfe County, KY | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Carrie Alice Dillingham, Columbia, KY (1946-2019) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Opal Barger Edwards, Campbellsville, KY (1941-2019) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Randy K.
