Sharon R. Thompson: Will vote against easier access

By Sharon R Thompson

I am with Marcia, some don't know when or how to quit...and this will be just enabling them. I know if they want it they will get, but I'm not going to be the one to vote for them to get it so easily.

Chris Oliver: vote will be over but issue will not go away

A pragmatic look at the local option issue, writer says

Chris Oliver

If there's one thing everyone can agree on, it's the desire to get this vote behind us and move forward as a community. I believe Tuesday's vote will be close. Theoretically, if the issue happened not to pass, then I believe it would not go away.

If Adair County stays dry, there will be a liquor store on the Russell County line before the end of this Summer. Soon following, I would predict Taylor County to successfully pass their vote (going "moist" has already been a successful step there) and then we will have a liquor store at our county line to the North, too.

These neighboring counties will profit from Adair County staying dry, and the alcohol will physically be back in Adair County within 2 minutes of being purchased.

Amy Pike: Some points about that Horse Cave fatal

Comments re article 81995 Randy Young Alcohol brought tragedy to Horse Cave

By Amy Pike
Personal Commentary

While any fatal accident is certainly a tragedy and something not to be made light of for any reason, you cannot say with certainty that is what caused this accident. Alcohol is believed to be a factor; however, until the blood results come back there is no certainty in that.

Also, the rider was not wearing a helmet (allowed by Ky law) and that could also be a factor. There was also a fatal accident in Ohio county involving a motorcycle that same weekend due the operator striking a deer and also not wearing a helmet.

Second Annual ACHS Graduation Walk will be 24 May 2016

Inaugural Walk was immensely popular when inaugurated in 2015

The Graduation "Walk" for ACHS seniors will begin right after the senior breakfast around 9amCT, May 24, 2016. The "walk" will begin at Adair County High School, 526 Indian Drive, Columbia, KY, and graduates will be bused to the various schools for "high-fives" and other send-offs from former teachers and current students.

The Graduation "Walk" is the opportunity to showcase graduates and to serve as an incentive for younger students to work hard in school and complete their own graduation. The Graduation "Walk" was immensely popular last year and was deemed a "keeper" by Principal Troy Young and the faculty and staff at ACHS.

Mike Ellis: 39 counties had increase in collisions

(Note: there are 120 counties in Kentucky; the vote is to end prohibition or not. - CM)

Mike Ellis writes:
You say DUIs have decreased and I will accept that, but what about collisions involving drinking drivers I just counted hurriedly through the KSP KY_Traffic_Collision_Facts and counted 39 counties that had a increase in collisions involving drinking drivers in their last report posted. Plus you keep saying prohibition, I thought it was a wet/dry vote. --Mike Ellis

Says drys miss the point, don't see correlation

The recent years drop in DUIs statewide coincides with the mass movement in Kentucky to end probition

Shannon Sexton writes:
Any life lost on Kentucky roadways is tragic, however should one assume that since Horse Cave had a DUI fatality, they would of had 3 if Horse Cave were not moist? Reports from KSP show DUI collisions DECREASE when a county/city chooses to end prohibition.

I've taken a lot of flack for showing DUI's going down in wet/moist areas. The reasoning from the Dry side is that Kentucky in general is realizing lower DUI rates state wide. Kentucky is also realizing a mass movement of ending prohibition. Surely you can see the correlation of the two. --shannonstatelinesteelcom

Charles Marshburn: Interested in new occupation

Charles Marshburn writes
Do you know where I could get an application to become a bootlegger in Adair County? Do you think I might find one at the sheriff's office or city hall? This must be the most necessary and protected occupation in the county and must be above the law. Is there a retirement package and medical insurance? - Charles Marshburn
Thanks - Your question is above my pay level. Don't know about retirement and medical insurance, but you should be able to a Pen Pay to compensate for time in the hoosegow from any reputable employer in this field of endeavor. - CM

16th Annual Jaycees Easter Egg Hunt a big success

By Brandy Held

Our 16th Annual Adair Jaycees Easter Egg Hunt, Saturday, March 19, 2016 was a huge success. I enjoy organizing this event for the sweet babies of our wonderful community.

I hope to have the privilege to do so for many years to come, but I, nor the Jaycees could hold events like these without the generosity of the citizens of Adair County, those individuals holding public offices, and local businesses.

Randy Young: Alcohol brought tragedy to Horse Cave

Randy Young writes:
It seems both sides disagree on the taxes as how much Adair will receive and the progress it will bring but one thing is for sure that the Hart County Corner believed that alcohol brought tragedy to Horse Cave, within the City limits this last weekend with a motorcycle rider's death. Alcohol is believed to be a factor. Wake up Adair County. That's why I'm voting No on alcohol Tuesday, March 22nd. - Randy Young

Marsha Walker: Supports comments because it's a right

Personal Commentary: Wet/Dry vote

Marsha Walker writes:
I like Linda Waggener's comments about the wet/dry vote. I don't want to be denied something that is available to people in neighboring counties. I think most of our county's illegal alcohol sales are to alcoholics and underage teens, and this is shameful. I have never been to a bootlegger, but I do know their locations.

We will never have a nice steakhouse or Mellow Mushroom restaurant like Somerset has, because a good portion of their profits are from alcohol sales. And the 4% regulatory fee we would receive from the sales of alcohol would be great to use for funding youth alcohol education and having a larger police force here!

This statement is not intended to offend anyone. - Marsha Walker

Gloria Anderson: the beverage of choice

Transplant from Michigan extols the wonders of her favorite Ginger Ale, raising the suspicion that she has not yet graduated from the Adair Assimilation Academy; else why is she not drinking Ski? But the good nature of her letter indicates that she is "good people" the sort we need lot more of here. - EW

Glora Anderson writes:
Ed, I do like your delightful magazine. I am a transplant to Kentucky from Michigana, the original home of Vernors Ginger Ale. The bubbbly delicious drink is my favorite pop (the northern word for bottled soda). I can tell you that the current liquid sold as Vernors Ginger Ale is not the same as I loved as a younger person. It seems that the love of money, being the root of all evil, has influenced the process of producing this fine pop. However, I still beg all Michiganders who might be passing through this way to bring me some because it is harder to come by here.

Now, I looked twice at the photo of your great sandwich in Sunday's edition, with the drink beside it. While that drink could be mistaken for a number of things, it certainly cannot be mistaken for Vernors Ginger Ale. I even looked at my stash to be sure. I would offer you a bottle from my stash but I am guilty of coveting it. - Glora Anderson
Thanks Gloria Anderson. You are right. The Vernors you describe is as good a "pop" as one can drink, a worthy example of the best of your beautiful home state of Michigan, and makes me want to go back again, have a Vernors, and make a pilgrammage to Oceana County in Asparagus Festival Time. Glad you liked the picture, and I'm glad no one yet has realized, yet, that it could be "Chateau Ste Michelle Riesling/Columbia Valley/Vintage 2013/100% Vinafera Rootstock/Established 1967," which it most certainly looks to be, and truth be known, I'd like to be able to purchase right here is Columbia.

To the Voters of Adair county, I'm Mike Ellis, local businessman, husband, father to three girls, grandfather to seven wonderful grand kids.

My first beer was given to me by an Adair Co. person (I heard passed away several years ago from complications of drinking) when I was 14 years of age. Not long after that I found out about the bootlegger, not long after that I found out about a very famous liquor store, and visited quite often, always looking for someone to buy it for us, and we did.

Bottom line Mr. Williams: There is one and only one "valid/logical argument" for voting yes. There is no reason that a responsible adult should not be able to purchase alcohol if he/she so wishes.
