'Educating your children to make responsible choices about alcohol (and drugs) is simple common sense. In my opinion it has nothing to do with religion, and everything to do with responsible parenting.' - ANITA REES

Personal commentary

My husband Mark and I have lived all over the country. Mark served in the USN for over 30 years, then we decided to retire in Adair Co. We both love it here - the land is beautiful, the people are friendly and helpful. But I'm amazed and saddened by the ignorance exhibited by some people on the No side. Especially the folks defending the "protect our children from alcohol" idea.

By Brent Frazier

Frankfort, KY - The Kentucky State Nature Preserves Commission (KSNPC) dedicated 88 acres as an addition to the 150-acre Frances J. Palk State Nature Preserve (SNP) in Pulaski County during the commission's March meeting.

This preserve contains a series of acid seep communities that are very rare in Kentucky. These small wetlands with low pH are formed by seeps found at the heads of several small streams. Although much of the preserve is dominated by upland forest, more than 70 species of plants are found within these unusual seeps, several of which are considered rare.

Doug Beard: Final thoughts on Wet/Dry Vote

My final reflections related to the "End of Prohibition" in Adair County

Personal commentary by Doug Beard

Over the past several weeks, there has been strong commentary related to this issue. I can't remember a time when this many people have been so dedicated to a cause, whether they were for or against the sale of beverage alcohol. It is a great testimony to and acknowledgment of the great democracy we all enjoy. We can express our opinions in open debate and discussion.

While this conversation certainly stirs emotion, it's one that is so important to the future of Adair County. People have expressed their personal decisions on this issue based primarily on their family teachings and influence, personal life experiences, perception of economic progression, and religious convictions related to beverage alcohol.

As much of the discussion of late have been focused on theology. I would like to offer my personal thoughts.

Special Note: CM is posting this as a responsible reminder, not as a comment on whether alcohol is purchased in the traditionally illegal manner as has has been done for eight decades in Adair County, or local celebrants drive to neighboring communities to purchase alcohol in a responsible manner from legal, taxpaying sources or choose not to use alcohol at all -EW

FRANKFORT, KY (Wed March 10, 2016) - As Kentuckians prepare to celebrate one of the country's most popular holidays, the Kentucky Office of Highway Safety (KOHS) and Kentucky State Police (KSP) are reminding drivers to make plans before your St. Patrick's Day party begins.

AG Beshear's Statement on Kentucky Supreme Court Decision

Re: Life Insurance Benefits

FRANKFORT, KY. (Thu 10 Mar 2016) – "Based on the Department of Insurance’s shameful and secretive actions, where it dismissed a case in the dark of night and abandoned more than 10,000 Kentuckians, we knew this was an uphill battle. But fighting for Kentuckians is always the right thing to do. Government should fight for the people not work against them. While this case is over, let me be clear – if we learn these companies are not paying out on their policies, we will pursue them to the fullest extent of the law." – Kentucky Attorney General Andy Beshear

KY Afield Outdoors: Good fishing at nearest FINs lake

By Kevin Kelley

Frankfort, KY - Most anglers are beneficiaries of the "pay it forward" philosophy. That is to say, somebody once took time to introduce them to fishing.

Spring is an opportune time to further the legacy, and any of the 40 lakes across Kentucky that comprise the Fishing in Neighborhoods (FINs) lineup make great places to teach a beginner the basics.

These conveniently located smaller lakes offer good access and open shorelines but also fantastic odds of catching fish. The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources keeps the FINs lakes well stocked with rainbow trout and channel catfish. Sunfish populations also are supported by stocking.

Shannon Sexton: Light shines on both sides

Mr. Regan,

Just as every "No" voter has the right to vote without stigma attached - "Yes" voters should also be treated with the same courtesy - not being branded as drunks, devils, detriments to children or as being on the side of "darkness". The light shines on both sides, some just refuse to acknowledge it. Regards, Shannon Sexton --Shannon

CAMPBELLSVILLE, KY - "We just can't quit," was the message the Rev. Bernard Crayton, senior pastor of Little Flock Missionary Baptist Church in Louisville, Ky., gave to those in attendance at Campbellsville University's Black History Month Chapel service on February 24, 2016.

Quoting from Jeremiah 20:7-9 in the Holy Bible, Crayton spoke of Jeremiah's writings to God, saying that Jeremiah had become a laughingstock of the town because he spoke out for what was right. Crayton said even though Jeremiah wanted to quit, he could not.

Michael Regan: Says No vote is on the side of Light

Michael Regan writes:
Ms. Sexton, Thank you for your reply. It is simply just as you stated, humorous, yet, a very serious topic. Being flippant in media opinion often reveals the foundationless tower from which a proponent speaks. To state that "if you are going to quote me, at least humor everyone with the entirety of my statement. I quote you "Nobody can legitimately say they do not support alcohol sales in Adair County. You will either go to the polls and vote Yes for the Legal sale of alcohol or you will vote No for Illegal sales." is not a humorous thing to say. Every citizen of Adair County has a right to vote "NO" without the stigma you attach; that they are voting "YES" to bootlegging, which is obviously your inference. I would thank you for not adding condemnation to a good deed done by fine people. Please, all vote "No" and know you are on the side of Light. Thank you. -Michael Regan

JIM: The wife does a lot of baking

By JIM

Nigh onto threescore years ago, my folks ran a grocery store in downtown Royville, over in Russell County. An older gentleman (his age then being about what mine is now) lived across the road. He, as did most of the nearby residents, popped into the store with some regularity to buy some item or another.

This fellow, however, had a taste for alcohol. On occasion, when no other source was available, he'd walk across Highway 80 to the little general store and purchase several bottles of pure vanilla extract. (By FDA edict, the "pure" signified it was at least 70 proof.) With eyes averted as he paid, he would murmur, "The wife does a lot of baking."
