Recycling Center is open Monday, Wednesday and Friday

By Linda Waggener

At this morning's Adair County Solid Waste Committee meeting, three Magistrates - Sammy Baker, Daryl Flatt and Billy Coffey - attended with the coordinator David Beasley and Judge Gale Cowan, for a discussion of where things stand and where we're going in recycling. For now, the Recycling Center is open Monday, Wednesday and Friday each week from 7amCT-3pm.

Calls continue coming in to officials to ask if the recycling trailers will be replaced around the city - they will not. Recycling efforts were tried at one time by the City and were discontinued due to cost not being sustainable at that time. That is where County government is now.

Rumor has it that the hams are very tasty this year so don't miss out!

By Tony Rose

All the hams that will be auction off have been produced by local 4-H youth who participated in the 2019 4-H Ham Project. As part of the project, each youth had to cure two country hams and these were placed in the Adair County 4-H Ham House in January. Then in May the youth cleaned and placed the hams back in for aging. Next in August the youth cleaned their hams and entered them in the Kentucky State Fair. As part of the project not only were the hams judge but each youth had to give a three to five minute speech on a topic about Country hams at the State Fair. The youth may choose to keep both hams or auction off one of their hams.

Proceeds from the ham auction will be divided as follows:

KY Afield Outdoors: Time for reservoir smallmouth

By Lee McClellan

Frankfort, KY - Reservoir smallmouth anglers are a weird lot. They dangle tiny little hair jigs under bobbers in air so cold ice forms in the guides of their rods. They think the best late fall fishing days feature leaden, low skies, light rain and highs in the 40s.

The record heat wave of early October is now a memory. The bracing morning air and cooler, longer nights signal to many bass anglers the fishing season is about done for the year. For reservoir smallmouth anglers, however, the season is just beginning on lakes such as Lake Cumberland, Laurel River Lake and the home of the world record smallmouth bass, Dale Hollow Lake.

Mid-October through late spring is the best time of year to catch large smallmouth bass in these reservoirs. The fish are in great body condition at this time of year and the smallmouth populations in these lakes are robust and stable. The smallmouth bass in Lake Cumberland, in particular, are in spectacular condition right now. They look like footballs, with nearly bursting bellies stuffed with threadfin shad and alewives.
