Driving a snowplow is tiring, dangerous work Adair County is a huge territory, with over 600 miles of county roads to clear A reader sends a link as a response to the complaints read/heard about the roads not being plowed fast enough, and the "wrong" roads being placed as priorities. Here is a news story about a plow driver in Kentucky who slid off the road in his plow and was found dead: kentucky-state-plow-driver-found-dead The reader says at least one plow was off in a ditch here in Adair too. These workers put their lives in potential danger to brave the elements, and do the best they can to keep things clear and functional. But this is a huge county. And even in states that get a lot of snow it's hard to keep up with 17" in one day. The reads said she would just like to show her appreciation for the hard and dangerous work these people do! 2016-01-23 15:08:38 | Comments | Printable version

Weather reminds Sharon Whitehurst of Vermont life By Sharon Whitehurst I appreciate Guy's common sense and perspective. Jim and I grew up in Vermont, and for a decade ran a dairy farm there. Winter threw the 'works' at us from November into early April - a long span of cold, deep snow, freezing weather and a dirt road as access for the bulk milk collector. Winter can be both worrisome and wearisome - not much point in grumbling. Sensible rural dwellers prepare with a well-stocked pantry and supplies on hand to care for animals. We get through it and sing praises when the snow melts! - Sharon Whitehurst Comments re photo 64426 Cool Springs Caring for creatures large and small 2016-01-23 11:44:53 | Comments | Printable version

Mary Hartman: A central source for road conditions Mary Hartman writes: Hi Ed, we are off the main roads and to get to them we will have to do a lot of snow removal. We don't know whether we could get out even if we made the effort to get to our county road. Is there any place we can get online information about road conditions in Adair County? Thanks -Mary HartmanMary Hartman - Right now, with the overwhelming circumstances, I would be relying on contacts with neighbors up the road, first - your neighborhood circle. And we'll be posting reports from neighborhoods as soon after received as possible. CM attempts to convey all the news we get, but in times like today, it's a continuous catchup. So far as we know, there is no centralized locations to find out the conditions from each of the entities providing snow removal: For City Streets, for County Roads, and for the KY Transportation Cabinet in the three Districts serving our area: Somerset District 8; Elizabethtown, District 4; and Bowling Green, District 3. In the event of a serious emergency, of course, 911 centers are the first resort. 2016-01-23 09:18:34 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

Comments re article 80371 Commentary by Ralph R Waggener City taxes and county taxes By Jon Halsey Personal commentary Well said. We definitely need more transparency in local government but it will not happen until the citizens, especially the voting public demand it. When only one magistrate had enough principal to refuse to vote for a law that none of them had read and a law that on the face of it seemed to be severally flawed, it seems that the citizens of the various districts need to start being more concerned about how their elected representative is acting and why.
