PAINT LICK — Hello readers. It continues to be a beautiful morning here in Paint Lick and while I am mindful of all the things I could be doing at home, I do enjoy writing to my readers. You are my reason for “pressing on.”

Members and guests of the Paint Lick Sportsman’s Club Community Center met Monday evening at the shelter and while we were appreciative of a good bunch of quality people, it would have been nice to see some different faces in the crowd. Things are looking up with the future of not only a more pleasant atmosphere, but a much nicer place to look upon as plans to take down the old building come to a pass. We do have the blessings of a demolition and recycling company out of Lexington that will donate all their time and equipment to take down what will become just another eyesore for the town of Paint Lick.

The memories held inside a club of hardworking and determined gentlemen will always remain in the minds of those who wish to keep the club and/or community center alive... if we let them, and I believe we can keep this center and make more memories.

There is proof of membership in the makings of Mr. Tommy Noe, grandson of George M. and Elizabeth Noe and then his wife, Tara Hatfield Noe, granddaughter of Bobby Dillon and great-granddaughter to Charlie Clay Dillon. Just to mention a few of the members seems a slight of my part and I do not mean it to be that way but we all at PLSCCC highly commend these two young people for just being a part of the memories that made the lives of those gentlemen. I hope this message will be received with some positive thoughts on how we can all come together in Paint Lick to make things brighter and more alive, not the dark that I see happening to our little village, as days pass without future work.

As I sit here , I think on the 30 years that my families have been residents and as my grandson says, “Nanny, they all know you in Paint Lick, everybody knows you.” I am finding it hard to put into words what I would like to say to those of you who don’t seem to find the time anymore to make this village just a bit brighter and maybe just a slice of what it used to be. A peaceful and friendly place, I’ve heard that said so many times.

In the following week, if anyone has a question about the happenings at PLSCCC, then please take time to call Deborah at 619-0334. The company from Lexington will arrive on Monday to start taking down the old building and that’s all it is folks, a building and a dangerous one. The Garrard County Solid Waste Management Program also will be on hand for any trash that cannot be recycled. I will say “thank you” to all those who have helped and all those who stand up for the PLSCCC.

May God bless.

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.

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.

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

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.

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!

Preschool screenings and birthday surprises
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)
