Ann asks citizens to help a fellow Adair Countian at time of need From County Judge Executive Ann Melton I am writing on behalf of Martha Lacy of Independence Ridge Road in the lower end of Adair County. I was recently contacted by Ms Phyllis Sparks about Martha's condition, in her quest to get help with improvements to Ms Lacy's porch and steps. Recently, she underwent a double mastectomy, and was diagnosed with cancer. Martha will have to undergo numerous treatments for the cancer. Martha's porch and steps are in a very sad state of repair. A contractor estimated that it would take approximately $600 to repair the porch and steps.Ann Melton, Judge Executive 2013-02-11 12:17:35 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

Comment: Vote leaders out of office who don't lead The folks who we put our trust in to look out for our interests and welfare too often subrogate their duties and responsibilities to an ever increasing cadre of bureaucrats and appointed factotums with little direct electoral accountability Comments re article 57559 Vote leaders who dont lead out of office By Jon Halsey Personal opinion Here I go with the "unfortunately" again. We've learned (or should have learned) by now that the Elected Leaders have very little to say about the matters that affect our lives the most. It's unclear if this is a result of happenstance, ennui, laziness or malfeasance. But it's clear that it exists at all levels of Government.

Cafe on the Square was a beacon on the Square Writer calls it 'A Class Act.' Sounds hope that the closing will only be for a short time By Doug Peterson It is so very sad about the Cafe. It was not only a beacon on the Square, it was a class act within the community. Their hospitality was wonderful and the menu and food preparation was most excellent. The Cafe On The Square was not only a gathering place for the students at Lindsey Wilson and a regular lunch spot for the workers in the area, but it was also a place that visitors to our community (including those from out of state) would come to. It represents the best of Kentucky hospitality and quality dining in a relaxed atmosphere that made everyone feel at home. With the closing (hopefully only for a short time), we have not only lost some dear friends, we have lost a member of our family. -Doug Peterson Comments re article 57564 Cafe on the Square owners announce it is closing 2013-02-11 08:38:55 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Food

Asks us not to forget that truckers are really needed Comments re article 57516 Movie Argo has Campbellsville KY connection Georgia Judd writes: With all the comments about the Big Trucks, we all need to think and realize what would we really do without them. We all like them to make the deliveries to the places we need them to, so let's all be thankful. - Georgia JuddThanks, Georgia Judd: But of course that goes without saying and was not an issue whatsoever in the discussion. The trucking industry is vital. The discussion was about making the roads safer for truckers and other vehicles. And respect for truckers? That, too is a given - or at least it should be. Truckers work is important, stressful, and perilous, Being a trucker, though not as dangerous as being a farmer, a roofer, a pilot, a sanitation worker, or a logger, is more dangerous than being a policeman, a fireman, a prison or jail guard, (or internet editor, according to us) at least according to a CNN report at America's Ten most dangerous jobs - EW 2013-02-11 02:15:26 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
Cafe on the Square owners announce it is closing Holds out possibility of re-opening in the future Dear Cafe Family, It is with hope, and great sadness, that we must announce the closing of the Cafe. On Monday, February 11, when you stop coming in, we will close our doors for the immediate future. For the past three years you have been such a BLESSING in our lives! We only hope that we were able to bless you in much the same way?!? As many of you know, for three years we have been operating Cafe on the Square by faith. And God has been faithful, for three years He provided for the Cafe and each of our families. But, it is now apparent that God has either fulfilled His purpose or He is about to take this to a whole new level. It is with broken hearts, many tears, and lots of prayers that we must close the doors. We are NOT certain that God has finished His work with the cafe, but we know that without help, we cannot continue developing the cafe into what it can be. It is our prayer that this closure is just temporary, and that God will use this time to show Himself mightily, bringing His people together to continue the work that He began nearly four years ago. As has been the case since June 28, 2009, we leave the cafe in His capable hands. Please join us in concentrated prayer that God's will be done. Your Extended Family, David & CJ, Ned & Bridgette, Kellis & Cali Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and in all. - Colossians 3:11 2013-02-11 01:59:15 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Food
