Former player would like to see Ryan McQueary remain head coach at ACHS Wants Ryan McQueary to remain head baseball coach Jordan Knifley writes: As a former player as well as a friend of Coach McQueary I am upset to see him removed from his position at ACHS.

Comment: There are times when sorry is not enough Lois Cunningham writes: I have been reading the comments on the incident that happened at the Little League Park. it is a good thing that Coach McQueary is sorry, but there are times when i am sorry is not enough. It doesn't really matter that he is a friend or that he has not had his day in court. It matters that he lost his temper, used racial slurs and provoked a physical altercation in front of children. He is a teacher and a coach: he knew those kind of things are not allowed or accepted in the jobs he held. He broke the rules and, yes, i am sure he is sorry, but this is one of those times when sorry is not enough. --Lois CunninghamComments re article 60513 Mary Cooley Coach McQueary is sorry and asked forgiveness 2013-07-03 19:50:29 | Comments | Printable version
Joe Hare: On school campus smoking policy Joe Hare writes: I understand a no smoking policy in our school system, but the statement by Mr Reed indicates the "dictatorship" attitude of our Nation. Point being I do not think the property of the Adair County school system is "owned" by the board. Yes, they manage it but I believe it belongs to "We The People."Comments re article 60485 Tobacco-free Schools Policy It means TobaccoFree Period 2013-07-03 19:02:05 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
Mary Cooley: Coach McQueary is sorry and asked forgiveness Mary Cooley writes: Slurs of any kind are not appreciated or appropriate, but where is "Forgive me my trespasses as I forgive those who trespass against me." A man lost his temper and said things that should not have been said. He's sorry and asks forgiveness. Who among us has never lost control and had to say "I'm sorry"? --Mary CooleyComments re article 60500 Wants Ryan McQueary to remain head baseball coach 2013-07-03 18:58:44 | Comments | Printable version

Comment/coach firing: All have to be responsible for actions Letter to the Editor Debbie Lowery writes: It is unfortunate that the coach has been let go, however, we all have to be held responsible for our actions. I am behind the Board decision. Behavior such as this should not be tolerated. It is a shame that the Adair Little League did not stand up for what was right. Fighting and racial slur in front of children is against their rules, too, and previous actions or how much a person has done does not override what happened.

Food Critique: Joy to find delicious alternative to same ol' same ol' Anderson's Pizzeria Barbara Armitage writes: If you've missed the opening of Columbia's newest restaurant "Anderson's Pizzeria" you need to get right over there! Barbara's husband and I enjoyed a wonderful lunch there today. What a joy to find a delicious alternative to the same ol' same ol' food choices.Thanks - To CM readers, it must be good if Barbara Armitage praises it. She can be very tough on restaurants - won't go to any if they allow smoking, and if the food's not good, she let's people know.Anderson's is well on it's way with a send-off like this. Reminds me of the Superb review of Mystic Pizza in the movie, Mystic Pizza. Incidentally, Geniece Marcum and I shared the best vegetarian pizza I ever ate, vying with the very best carnivore one: at Kenny Pastor's Avery Street Pizza House, near the basketball school, U of L, discovered for Adair Countians by Doctor-in-training W. Stephen Aaron. - EW 2013-07-03 14:18:33 | Comments | Printable version

Kentucky State property tax rate remains unchanged for 2013 Rate is 12.2 cents per $100 assessed value By Pamela Trautner News from the Kentucky Department of Revenue FRANKFORT, KY - (July 1, 2013) The Kentucky Department of Revenue has set the 2013 State Real Property Tax Rate at 12.2 cents per $100 of assessed value. Kentucky Revised Statute 132.020 requires the Department of Revenue to set the real property rate no later than July 1 of each year. This rate is based on the revenue generated from the increase in taxable real property assessments from 2012 to 2013. If the assessment increase is more than four percent after the exclusion of new property added to the tax roll during 2013, then the prior year rate must be reduced. Because the assessment increase for 2013 is estimated at 1.32 percent, the state rate will remain the same as the 2012 rate, 12.2 cents per $100 of assessed value. All of the revenue generated from the state property tax rate will go into the state's General Fund. 2013-07-03 09:16:26 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Kentucky

Questions policy of not growing tobacco at ACHS Thanks, Mr. Murrell for your comment below: Appreciate your thought and manner of presentation. However, as I understand it, the decision not to grow tobacco was made by the ACHS Agriculture Department, not the Superintendent or School Board. Either way, on balance, the decision does send a very positive health message, and the ACHS Agriculture Department should be commended for that. Daddy always said tobacco was to grow and sell, not to use. - Ed Waggener James Murrell writes: I guess Mr. Reed has forgotten that Tobacco put food on the table for a lot of Adair countians as well as supported most all other business. While I can understand the stance on no Tobacco use on school property, I question the policy of not growing it.(it is not illegal yet). Adair county has finally caught up to the rest of the world in the sense of, no matter what you think or the majority think, there are those who know whats best for us, all because we evidently do not. - James MurrellComments re article 60485 Tobaccofree Schools Policy It means TobaccoFree Period 2013-07-03 06:34:18 | Comments | Printable version
