The job duties of Magistrate outlined Six of the seven Adair County Magistrates will be new to the job in the coming term. Here we look at specifics of what the job entails. By Mig Feuser / The Adair Progress While Adair County residents may know their local magistrates by name and district, Kentucky law makes clear that the true authority of those elected officials lies not in individual action, but in their work together on the Adair County Fiscal Court. Together with the Judge Executive and the County Attorney. Magistrates -- also known in state law as justices of the peace -- represent districts across the county and serve four-year terms. They must be at least 24 years old, have lived in Kentucky for at least two years prior to election, and reside in the district they represent.

Phillip Coffey - on the Greatest Generation By Phillip Coffey My generation is so very blessed to have been reared by "The Greatest Generation" and the generation that reared them (parenthetically, Mom just gave me a half stick of chewing gum as in youth). She amazes me every day. Mom and her generation are sparse in numbers now. To whom shall we seek wisdom when they are all gone? Absolutely nobody that I know. We will be as gnats hovering over a cow patty, I fear, going about as the wind blows, no sense of direction in our collective souls.
