Daily News for Sunday, April 28, 2024
A letter from C.S. Harris, 1917 As JIM wrote in an earlier article, C.S. Harris was founder and 20-year editor of the Adair County News, from 1897-1917. Jim says, "Mr. Harris never met a cause beneficial to Adair County for which he didn't stand four-square in favor of. His first letter to The News, penned just weeks after he, Maggie, and the younger kids moved to Mississippi, ran nearly two full columns. In the closing paragraphs, he poignantly spoke of his reasons for leaving Adair, saying" (in part): "I have no complaint against the old home. I love its hills, its hollows, and best of all the people, but I was out of harmony with public sentiment and I felt it best for me, and, Adair as well, that I should no more agitate, aggravate and disturb the peace and quietude of so good a community. ... 2024-04-28 21:12:36 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Jim: History

Gas pump inspection stickers contain a new message From Madison Pergrem Frankfort, KY - As Kentucky Department of Agriculture's (KDA) motor fuel inspectors check the quantity and quality of fuel this year, they'll be adding a special message to gas pumps. This year's inspection stickers contain a message reminding drivers to not leave children or pets in an unattended hot car. "The services we provide at the Kentucky Department of Agriculture are centered around the greater good for our consumers," Agriculture Commissioner Jonathan Shell said. "From protecting against animal diseases that could disrupt our food supply to fighting against harmful policies affecting our farmers and farm families, KDA is consistently working to better our communities. Sending a message about protecting our children from suffering in a hot unattended car is just one more way we are providing that service. We are hopeful these stickers provide that reminder to be mindful of the lives in your car and how you can help protect them." The message of not leaving children in a hot car is not a new one, but it is new for the gas pump inspection stickers created annually by KDA.

Carol Perkins: The Tiller Previous Column: Carol Perkins: Circle the Square By Carol Perkins He's getting on my last nerve. Have you heard that expression? It is an apt one for Guy Perkins, the retired Guy Perkins. He could say the same. For the last month, Guy has been in a land of retirement. It is more like a foreign country. Since he got out of college, he has been on the road with his job. Gone two nights and three days a week. I didn't think about how long he was gone during that time because it was his job. COVID took Guy off the road, and he started working from home. At least he was busy wheeling, dealing, and thinking about clients and how to make things happen. (He was in industrial sales.) When he was contemplating retirement, I offered the pros and cons.
