Letter: Lovely Evans Homestead Paul Patton writes: The swinging bridge to the Evans homestead near the Casey-Marion County line is the longest one I remember seeing. While I never walked the bridge, I have been royally entertained by the Evans family on several occasions while preaching at the Pleasant Valley Christian Church where they attended. Preachers, more than any other profession, are brought into the homes and hearts of wonderful families who share their very best home cooked meals with them. Such was my experience in the lovely old homestead at the end of this swinging bridge. - Paul PattonComments re photo 43937 Scenic Marion Co KY Swinging Bridge near Casey Co line 2013-08-14 21:07:41 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

Jailer Rick Wilson says he doesn't plan to seek re-election Adair County Regional Jailer Rick Wilson, one of the most popular public officials ever in Adair County, said last night after the August 13, 2013 regular meeting of Adair Fiscal Court, that 37 years in public service is long enough, that he plans to retire after this term. Under his guidance, the jail has shown marked improvements. Whether or not he can be convinced to continue in some capacity wasn't discussed. But it was another reminder that the 2014 elections are fast approaching. And raises speculation about who might be Mr. Wilson's successor, should the decision stand. - Ed Waggener 2013-08-14 06:01:18 | Comments | Printable version
