JIM: Adair, Russell and Gov. Goebel and politicians of day How Adair Countian Parker S. Harden lost front runner status for Democratic nomination to William S. Goebel. How Governor Taylor married a Russell County, KY woman. How twice married Nora A Lawless later became the wife of Governor Taylor, and how they had one child, Charles Linden Taylor - and much, much more By JIM The Kentucky gubernatorial election of 1899 was a brutal affair. At the infamous Democratic gubernatorial convention held in Louisville's Music Hall in June, William Goebel won (or, in blunter terms, stole) the nomination through machinations that would have made Machiavelli blush. He first conspired with another candidate, Wm. J . Stone, to oust the front-runner, Adair County's own Parker Watkins "P. Wat" Hardin, from contention, then double-crossed Mr. Stone and walked away with the nomination.

Editorial: Please attend the water board meeting tonight Adair Countians have learned the hard way that incompetent leadership is no bargain no matter how low the salary, how long the hours the leader puts in, how hard they work. Results are what matters. Adair County does not have a water crisis. We have a big time, impending, possibly of disastrous plane-is-crashing into-the-mountain proportions - hospital crisis. We have a jobs creation problem, and poor performance and results and failure to provide vision in so many areas. But there is no crisis at the CAUD - the Columbia/Adair County Utilities District. It works. Its rates are competitive. CAUD's assets-to-liabilities ratio is sound. The Adair County Fiscal Court has never been asked for one dime to support it. Has never had to bail it out with a special bond issue. CAUD deserves accolades. But don't take my word for it; attend three consecutive CAUD meetings quietly, attend all other boards three consecutive meetings and listen, and make up your own mind about which ones are providing leadership, which ones are not; which entities are truly solvent, which ones are not. The CAUD board meets at 4pmCT, this afternoon, Thursday, February 9, 2012, at 109 Grant Lane, Columbia, KY. The five member board is Chairman Danny Downey, and members Robert Flowers, Rudy Higginbotham, Larry Legg, and Rabon Burton. - ED WAGGENER By Ed Waggener The Columbia/Adair County Utilities Board meets tonight. For most meetings, very, very few people show up. Rarely is there a member of the Adair County Fiscal Court, though occasionally Judge Executive Ann Melton is there. I've rarely seen a Columbia City Councillor there, except for Robert Flowers, who sits on the CAUD board. Only occasionally does another member of the media show up. I've never seen anyone from the schools, a Lindsey Wilson representative, a member of the Columbia Adair County Economic Development Authority, or the Mayor of Columbia at a meeting.

Parents of Special Needs Children need to keep paperwork, caseworker advises Kim Hughes writes: Just a friendly reminder to any parent or guardian who has had a family member in the special education program: It is very important to retain important documents, such as IEPs and psychological exams. These documents may be needed in the future if the individual pursues admission into any of the waiver programs offered by the state. Psychological exams, in particular, are required only once, but without the documentation, would need to be repeated (at the parent or guardian's expense). Obtaining any past documentation may be very helpful in the future!Comments re article 49917 Records Retention Schedule for Special Education Students 2012-02-09 08:04:33 | Comments | Printable version
