Dr. Michael Carter calls for prayers for non-violence

CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky. - Campbellsville University President Dr. Michael V. Carter is joining other leaders in calling for a time of prayer for our country.

Carter has issued this statement:

"As people of faith, we are called to stand for justice and equity for all people. Violence has no place in our country - whether perpetrated against individual black Americans or by groups acting against civil authority.

"At Campbellsville University, we affirm the value and worth of all people and are committed to providing Christian higher education to prepare servant leaders who will seek to 'act justly...love mercy...and walk humbly' with God (Micah 6:8).

"We call upon all people of faith and goodwill to join in a time of prayer for peace, justice and reconciliation in our country."

April 15, 1978 Around Adair with Ed Waggener

The article below first appeared in the April 15, 1978 issue of the Daily Statesman. Topics included David Wells on the benefits of walking, a woodpecker on Jamestown Street, Sally Nell's advice on high utility bills, Jim Ranson's and Alfred Flowers' violets, Cotton Durham's tulips, George Keltner's white redbud, and the dying art of cussing. --Pen

The things you don't see riding
Perhaps the champion championer of walking in Columbia today is David Wells. Wells regularly walks to and from his home in College Park, and the reason is not at least altogether because, as his friends tell him, he is too tight to drive. He walks for health, but more than that, for enjoyment. "I can't believe that Americans believe that the whole country, the whole economy, has to bow down and worship the automobile. I can't believe that there are as many people in this country who don't know what they are missing--the little details they would never have seen--if they were to walk."

I couldn't agree more with Wells, although I have to admit that I don't do the walking I need to or want to do.

Wells points out another aspect of walking. "It makes me feel closer to people when I see them strolling through our neighborhood. They smile, wave, and acknowledge you and you return the gesture."

But the biggest benefit of walking, I believe, is still the one Wells mentioned about seeing our town in greater detail, appreciating more the fine things one never sees from a car, motorcycle, or even a bicycle.

Letter: Online license renewal

Jessica writes:
I may be going to the wrong place on the site, but I can't find anywhere to renew a license online. I saw that you can if you're military personnel, but not a regular person. It says anybody else has to go to their respective county's clerk's office to renew.
Jessica, thanks for writing. As we understand it, drivers' licenses can now be renewed remotely, meaning you don't have to physically be at the courthouse, but there isn't an online portal for renewal.

You'll still need to contact the local Circuit Court Clerk by phone, email, or mail to start the process.

In Adair County, you can call 270-384-2626, or email DennisLoy@kycourts.net.

For other counties, visit drive.ky.gov/Pages/Circuit-clerks.aspx to find the phone number for your local Circuit Court Clerk. Keep in mind that Emergency Order 112204 (PDF) allowing remote renewal was only enacted on Thursday, May 28, 2020, so it might take local offices a few business days to figure out new procedures. --Pen
