JIM: A perspective on Labor, Labor Day from over 100 years ago 'Where labor is respected, where there is dignity in toil, and where idleness is disreputable, society is upon a substantial foundation.' By JIM A Perspective on Labor and Labor Day Labor is the great creative force of the world. The achievements of labor constitute the chief difference between civilization and savagery. It is by labor that mankind has advanced from the crude primitive condition to the present state of comfort and enlightenment. Every book, every work of art, every useful and pleasing thing in the creation of civilization is one great monument to labor. The progress of society may be measured by its attitude towards those who work. The people ruled by parasites must excite the contempt of honest men. Where labor is respected, where there is dignity in toil, and where idleness is disreputable, society is upon a substantial foundation. Labor Day is designed to direct attention to the rights of those who do the world's work, and to impress upon all elements of society a recognition of labor's part in making civilization what it is. Excerpted from an op-ed piece first published in the Lexington Herald and subsequently reprinted in the September 25, 1907 edition of the Adair County News. - JIM 2013-08-27 08:39:51 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Jim: History
Profile America Facts: Labor Day 2013, September 2, 2013 First Monday in September became national holiday in 1894 when Grover Cleveland was President of the United States Labor Day Weekend in Columbia, KY starts with Chamber CityWide Yardsales, and concludes on Monday with a long running tradition, "Buy Swap, Sell & Trade Day" on the Square, (Related story, Reunions, and The Wacky, Qwacky Duck Race. And maybe, this year, a revival of the Neighborhood Picnics of the 1970's, started in the Jones-Wright Addition and, in following years, spreading to points all over the city. - CM By the U.S. Census Bureau The first observance of Labor Day was likely on September 5, 1882, when some 10,000 workers assembled in New York City for a parade. That celebration inspired similar events across the country, and by 1894 more than half the states were observing a "workingmen's holiday" on one day or another. Later that year, with Congress passing legislation and President Grover Cleveland signing the bill on June 29, the first Monday in September was designated "Labor Day." This national holiday is a creation of the labor movement in the late 19th century - and pays tribute to the social and economic achievements of American workers. - from the U.S. Census Bureau 2013-08-27 06:08:09 | Comments | Printable version

Jon Halsey comments on ACT Scores Comments re photo 51085 Adair School District releases 2013 ACT test scores Jon Halsey writes: Look at the bright side. This year with only half day on Fridays, they will be spending less time in school. Based on these across the board drops in scores, maybe that's a good thing. - Jon Halsey, Knifley, KYThanks for the comment. I would respectfully disagree with what you with your conclusions, but I'm thankful your focus is on Education. As the article stated, there were new standards in place this year. So the comparisons had to be seen in that light. And, with Early Release Fridays, there's same amount of instructional time as ever, but now the teachers have time to compare notes on and focus on ways to help students who need help. My bet is that next year, the results will better. - Ed Waggener 2013-08-27 04:47:30 | Comments | Printable version

A poem from Pellyton: Always, Father Click on headline for Complete Poem with introduction By Ramon Laval-Posell When I left Chile at the age of 17 for what was supposed to be a one year journey, I never imagined it would last this long, or that over the course of a few decades I would travel from Spain to Texas, and more recently to Kentucky, where Pellyton would become my home. Because of the distance, circumstances, ongoing responsibilities and, of course, the cost, I was not able to visit my parents and siblings often. On that occasion several seasons ago when I was finally able to return, a sad miracle took place; after giving me his last loving and strong embrace, my father decided that the proper time had arrived to start his own journey to better, higher and divine lands. This month marks the anniversary of that moment, one that I never wish to forget: Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2013-08-27 03:10:32 | Comments | Printable version
