Franklin, Gillis' 3s Push LWC Women's Basketball Past Uva.-Wise By Dan White WISE, VA. - Ashley Rainey finished with 22 points and 10 rebounds, Ashley Franklin hit four 3-pointers and Sarah Gillis added three 3-pointers as No. 25 Lindsey Wilson College outlasted the University of Virginia's College at Wise 80-76 on Thursday, January 25, 2012 at the Convocation Center. Kristin Mullins paced Uva.-Wise with 19 points and Christine Nyobe posted a double-double of 10 points and 11 rebounds. Lindsey Wilson (15-7, 4-5 MSC) trailed by seven points in the second half, but a 14-0 run that started with 14:53 to play in the game proved to be enough of a rally to hold off the feisty Cavaliers. Uva.-Wise (5-15, 1-8 MSC) refused to go away quietly, as Katie Lester rolled in one of her three 3-pointers with under five seconds to play to climb back within three. The Blue Raiders shot free throws with confidence at the end of the game to hold off the late rally. It was a sloppy first half as 11 Lindsey Wilson turnovers negated what was as much as a 13-point lead that turned into a 39-34 deficit at the break. Of course, UVa.-Wise shooting 60.0 percent from the field didn't hurt as Carter and Cluesman scored 12 and 14 points, respectively on a combined 12-of-16 shooting performance. Rainey picked up two early fouls for the Blue Raiders, forcing her to the bench with only six first-half points. Luckily Gillis stepped up to the offensive challenge with 13 points on three 3-pointers. For the half, Lindsey Wilson shot 45.0 percent from behind the arc, hitting 5-of-11 attempts. While Lindsey Wilson's turnover number was bad, the Cavaliers didn't do much better with nine, allowing the Blue Raiders to build its short-lived cushion. It was a different shooting story in the second half as the Cavaliers shot just 37.8 percent from the field, compared to 55.6 for Lindsey Wilson. Having Rainey on the court for most of the half helped, as she got loose for numerous layups. The Blue Raiders were without Monny Niamke the entire second half after a muscle pull she had been nursing flared up early in the game. The freshman finished with just seven minutes played. Uva.-Wise controlled the backboard 39-31, but couldn't take care of the ball, committing 21 turnovers with just 18 assists. 2012-01-26 19:13:19 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Sports
13th KY Cavalry Historical Marker has $575 of $2,500 needed Today, $575 of $2,500 goal has been committed. Adair Heritage Association will accept funds, address below. Prof. A.W. Reed, Joe L. Barbee, Chris Bennett and Rev. Paul Patton will be interviewed on the Larry Smith Show on the WAVE FM 92.7, at 7:30pmCT, Friday, January 27, 2012, to discuss the project By Chris Bennett Erecting a historical marker on North 55 at the site of Camp Boyle, the training ground and organization point for Adair County's own 13th Kentucky Cavalry is a way the citizens of Adair County can remember the 150th anniversary of America's Civil War. The Civil War was undoubtedly America's worst war, there were more than 650,000 killed and wounded in the conflict. Hopefully America will never see fit to take up arms against their brothers and neighbors again. 13th Kentucky Cavalry/Camp Boyle Historical Marker Address Adair Heritage AssociationIn the morning, at 7:30amCT, Friday, January 27, 2012, Rev. Paul Patton and I will be on WHVE, The WAVE FM 92.7, with Larry Smith to discuss the project. We hope you'll be with us at that time. - Chris Bennett The response thus far to the suggestion to raise $2,500 for a Camp Boyle Kentucky Historical Marker has so met with great enthusiasm. Thanks to everyone who has responded in the silent phase of the campaign. We'll be giving complete details as the campaign goes along. We hope to be able to list all names, but we will respect the wishes of those donors who want to give to the fund but prefer their names not be publicized. So far, there are commitments totaling $575. 2012-01-26 17:32:31 | Comments | Printable version

Adair County growth spurred by CAUD leadership Danny and Sandy Pyles writes: What is not included in this is the fact that Lenny is on call 24 hours a day 7 days a week and 365 a year. And look at the growth Adair County has received under his management. We would not want the responsibility he has for that price and although a lot of people say they would take it, could they or would they be as dependable and devoted as Lenny and all the utility staff and board are to this county? -- Danny and Sandy PylesComments re article 49645.

Editorial: CAUD GM Lenny Stone makes $125,000 per year In our opinion, not half what he's worth, but the amount is posted at his request and in the spirit of the Public's Right to Know. By law, his and all other public salaries are public. Governor Steve Beshear's administration set an example for all governments within the Commonwealth: Any state employee's salary is open records on the State's Website. No matter what the reason - just being nosey or you need to know - it's public information somewhere on Ky.gov. (Anyone who has the URL: notify us and we'll post) By Ed Waggener Lenny Stone called CM wanting to be the first governmental CEO to announce his salary: It's $125,000 per year as General Manager of the Columbai/Adair County Utilities District. We did not ask for the information, but we'll post it as a favor, and will do so for other chief executives who wish keep everything transparent and out in the open.. It's a princely sum by Adair County standards, but not half what Lenny Stone woud be paid in the private sector, but it's the what the Columbia/Adair County Utilities District can pay him. And, in my estimation, he's one of a number of CEO's who, based on results (a different concept from measuring by how much work one does) is woefully undercompensated. We hope other government chief executives will voluntarily publicize their salaries. It is, of course, public record. The hospital, the school board, fiscal court, City of Columbia and the taxing districts are required by law to provide the inforrmation, and, many entities which derive 25% or more of their budgets from taxpayer sources are also required to give full disclosure.Our thought is that taxpayers ought to look not at what the total amount of compensation paid to executives, but to Value Delivered.We believe for instance, that CJE Ann Melton, for instance, while also enjoying an income over twice the average household income for Adair County, is delivering leadership whose value is many times what she is paid. After all, Ann I, delivered more progress to Adair County than all other previous administrations put together, Ann II is second only to Ann I. On the other hand for a very few employees in government, even if they are making minimum wage, are grossly overpaid. That their employers would be better off sending them home and paying them than to let them get into mischief, to let them be The Chokepoints which impede needed work, than to let them get in the way and take up space. They need to be run home, even if we continue to pay them a salary. They would do less harm at home. Even many so called "free" workers are in the better off home than on the job. They cost more hauling them around and feeding them than they are worth. That's the way I see it, whether it sounds Tea Party, Libertarian, Independent, or even Republican. That doesn't matter to this Democrat. Good ideas aren't found just within one party's brand. - ED WAGGENER PS: In our opinion, each entity should publish annual salaries as part of the information they ought to have on their websites. Then, if anyone wants to know, they could find it there. However, we'd add one oughtta: The information should be One Click away from the Home Page, not obscured. -ED 2012-01-26 06:35:17 | Comments | Printable version

By Billy Joe Fudge, Retired District Forester Kentucky Division of Forestry Although we almost never see one and there are several living in the limits of Columbia, we are all pretty familiar with beaver from the many wildlife TV shows, etc. They are the second largest rodent and can grow up to 50 lbs or more but the largest one I've ever seen was in the 25 lb range which would put it in the, little larger than a Raccoon range.
