Thieves vandalize Paint Lick property during holiday weekend

Hello readers.

We’ve had a great week, huh? The air was just right and no rain for a whole six days and then, the rains came ... but not before I finished tilling the cucumbers in our garden.

I have just one row of beautiful green plants that are loaded with blooms! Some blooms are dropping because of all of the previous wet weather and the plants are so fragile. But, that’s good. The sun is shining bright and early every morning and the air has cooled, making the mornings a soothing time for sleep.

A former resident of Paint Lick, Ms. Sandra Bingham, stopped by our place on Monday and brought her puppy to so we could see how big she’d grown. Molly the puppy was born in Paint Lick and it was really good to see that she was being cared for so well. Thank you, Sandra. It was good to see you again, too. I hope you can come and bring your family to the Paint Lick Sportsman’s Club Barbecue on July 25. It looks like we’ll have a big day and some nice weather for everyone to get together.

For more details, watch the paper.

It seems that over the holiday weekend, someone —or more than one person — took the chance to vandalize property in the Paint Lick area. The Sportsman’s Club and Paint Lick Church of God were only two of the places that were broken into and downright meanness and some sloppy work went into every effort made for what I would call “someone with nothing else better to do.” It’s sad that these efforts cannot be put to work for the betterment of this community, but there’s some in all the crowds. I heard too, that some property on Short Road was taken. If anyone has any information on this act of thievery, please contact the sheriff of Garrard County.

I would like to say “thanks” to Christine Sebastian and Delphine Byrd at the Garrard County Library for their time with the children in the reading program at Paint Lick Christian Church. They were only given four days with the children this year, but every day was a hit for all who came. I hope to see you on July 15.

I’ve had some questions on where and when the Alexander Reunion will be conducted in August, but as of this writing, no plans have been made. I will do what I can to let everyone know through my column.

May God Bless

  • Dr.-Jack-Rutherford.jpg Is MSG (monosodium glutamate) harmful?

    Monsodium gluatamate (MSG) is a flavor enhancer often added to Chinese food, soups, processed meats and canned vegetables. The use of MSG remains controversial despite a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) statement that it is safe. Because of this, the FDA requires that whenever MSG is added, that it be listed on the label.

  • Don-McNay-.jpg Common-sense job hunting

     I spent a day with a high-powered and high-profile friend who mentioned that he has more than 700 people a year ask him to help get a new  job.
    He’s not in the employment business, but is super well connected.  
    Every now and then, he gets the right person to the right job.

  • Anthony-Phelps-c.jpg It’s a love thing

    “Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? As it is written, for thy sake we are killed all the day long, we are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Nay, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him that loved us. For I am persuaded, nor powers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor height, nor depth, nor any other creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in Christ Jesus, our Lord.” — Romans 8:35-39

  • Brandon-Sears-c.jpg Managing the calving season

    Providing sound management during the calving season can mean more live calves.
    Excessive losses can mean the difference between a year’s profit or loss for a beef producer.
    It is important to have a short calving period to allow frequent observation and assistance if needed.

  • Frank-food-dude-mug-c.jpg Spinach: It’s not just for Popeye anymore

    A spinach-loving reader recently approached me to request a column on things to do with her favorite vegetable.
    “Favorite vegetable?” You may ask, and rightly so.
    When many of us were growing up …and we’re talking Baby Boomers here, the only spinach product known to us was the stuff that came in a can, and it was, in a word, horrible!

    Hi!
    ... and the wind blew and blew. Perhaps this is the windy season!
    Where is the snow? Students are starting to do snow dances, hoping they can coax enough snow to fall so they can make a proper snowman.
    (I'm sure they hope it will fall on a weekend so they won’t have to miss school! lol)
