Agrees with Jon Halsey on voting Missy Richard writes: I agree with Mr. Halsey. I have learned for myself what a privilege it is to be able to vote on things that affect me, my family and community. I truly feel that not voting is a slap in the face to all the men and women who serve our country for the freedoms that we have today, One of my fears is that in the near future our privileges that we have will disappear. Those that sit and complain about everything, but do not vote or try to help to make change do not have the right to complain; they are part of the problem. - Missy RichardComments re article 52065 On Civic Pride Deep shame and disappointment at voter turnout 2012-05-23 11:33:53 | Comments | Printable version

The rest of the story of Church of Nazarene Church Bell The bell came from a building at the Foot of Jamestown Hill, a building which antedates the 310 Jamestown Street (now Praise Assembly of God home) location of the First Church of the Nazarene. The bell is historic icon, bringing back memories of a remarkable member's quiet long kept secret act which provided continuity after a disastrous fire Click on headline for story with photo(s) By Chris Bennett Actually this bell did not originate from the former Nazarene church located at 310 Jamestown Street. This bell was located in the first Columbia Nazarene church located at the foot of Jamestown hill in the vicinity of the consignment shop that is located in the old Convenient Food Mart building. That church burned to the ground, and the bell was one of the only things salvaged from the fire. The congregation moved up the hill into the church building that is now a Praise Assembly of God Church, until they built the new church by the Cumberland Parkway, in the early 1970's.

On Civic Pride: Deep shame and disappointment at voter turnout A Guest Editorial Comments re article 52062 Election Primary May 22 2012 Adair Co KY By Jon Halsey Guest Commentary Kudos and heartfelt thanks for the timely and excellent election coverage. I must, however, express my deep shame and disappointment at the turnout.When I think of the millions of people not only in this country but around the world who sacrificed so much through the ages to gain or to keep this most precious of our freedoms I am angered to the point of tears to find out that so many couldn't be bothered to make the almost minuscule effort to vote either at their precinct or by absentee ballot. Ben Franklin showed his prescience when he responded to the lady who asked him what type of government the Constitutional Convention had given us with the terse statement: "A Republic madam, if you can keep it." It appears more and more that Franklin had cause for concern knowing the human frailties as well as he did. I fear that the evidence is mounting daily that we are losing the battle and today's sorry turnout only adds to that concern. - John Halsey Knifley, KY Thanks and Amen, Mr. Halsey:Deepest gratitude for expressing an opinion we totally agree with - and stating it so well. My hope is that some organization, maybe a veterans organization or a civic club, maybe a non-partisan group, or the Adair County Ministerial Association will make voter turnout a cause. There is nothing we would be more proud of than that, in the general election of 2012, Adair County should have 100% of eligible voters registered, and that turnout would be 95-100% of the voters. Would be even happier if that happened nationwide -Ed Waggener 2012-05-23 03:26:00 | Comments | Printable version
