By Larry Smith The WAVE, 92.7 FM radio, Columbia-Russell Springs, KY The man who was charged with the 2006 murder of Columbia businessman Rex Coffey has been released from jail. 92.7 The WAVE has learned that Wellie Paul Grant of the Glens Fork area of Adair County was released from jail today, Friday, January 11, 2013, on a $100,000 unsecured bail bond by Special Judge James Bowling.

Rex Coffey was the owner and operator of Rex's Cycle Shop on Cambellsville Road in Adair County.

She said that the Coffey family was notified only 15 minutes before Grant was released. 2013-01-11 16:27:46 | Comments | Printable version
Jon Halsey agrees with BJ Fudge on Downtown Safety concerns "Time is of the Essence." And to quote Poor Richard: "Well Done is better than Well Said." By Jon Halsey Although BJ and I may agree to disagree on some issues we are yoked in tandem on this Downtown/Square traffic - safety issue.

Adair moves up to No. 59 on waiting list for JROTC Special CM Education Story News from Adair County High School A check this morning with Superintendent Alan Reed coincided with his receipt of a letter from Colonel David Thompson, Director of the Department of Military Affairs in Frankfort, KY with good news on the effort to get a Junior U.S. Army ROTC program at Adair County High School. Col. Thompson said that Adair County is now No. 59 on a waiting list of 230 nationwide. "This is good news. And I'd be remiss if I didn't credit the work of others who have made the ranking possible. We wouldn't be where we are today without the help of many outstanding people, in particular one behind the scenes individual who's asked not to be in the spotlight, but whose help has proven invaluable," Mr. Reed said, to make a long story short. Supeintendent Reed cautioned that with the budget constraints, the number of U.S. Army JROTC program has been capped at 1731. "There is flux in those numbers," he said. "Some attrition occurs," bit added, "We would expect some of those 1731 programs to be dropped, some to drop out voluntarily for various reasons." But acknowledged that he hasn't yet analyzed the arithmetic to see just when Adair County might expect to see the JROTC program a reality, based on past statistics. 2013-01-11 08:16:14 | Comments | Printable version

Jon Halsey comments on City Pool: Agrees with Billy Joe Fudge Speaking from municipally debt-free Knifley, KY, he warns Columbia City fathers and Adair County Magistrates that limitations not seen in "Foggy Bottom," prevail here. "We cannot print money. And there is a finite limit as to how far the contents of our billfold will stretch," Mr. Halsey says positing Flowers-Hayek economics vs. Dr. Ronald P./Roosevelt/Keynesian philosophy for the City of Columbia, the County of Adair. -CM By Jon Halsey Personal Commentary A sitting President famously (or infamously, depending on your persuasion) said: "Elections have consequences." Just so, the actions of local Boards, elected and unelected also have consequences. Unfortunately, past actions have put us in the unenviable situation of having to place much of our community's desires and progress on hold while we try to dig our way out of the financial messes we find ourselves in.
