Demolition of old community center to begin

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.

Looking at various things
During my eight years away from home (Richmond and Madison County) the post office tower was a beacon welcoming me home.
Today, the the stone edifice completed in the 1892 as a post office and federal courthouse is the Madison Hall of Justice.

Things are different than when we were young
I was just thinking the other day about how confused we seniors are most of the time. Things are so different than when we were young. We find it hard to understand much of what we are confronted with.
Some things like this happen to us frequently. We begin a conversation with, “In my day.” We look so old we are followed around by archeologists. We tell our kids that old age causes us to become wiser and they tell us, “Then you must be a genius.” We no longer look forward to a wild evening out, but look forward to a dull evening in.

We are heirs and joint-heirs to His kingdom
“For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
“For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.
“The Spirit itself beareth witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God:
“And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.
“For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
“For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. — Rom 8:14-19

How little exercise is necessary for good health?
How little exercise is necessary for good health?
That question was the subject of a recent investigation by a team of exercise scientists at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, and the answer seems to be a lot less than we might think, as long as we’re willing to put in the effort.

Start planting your hot weather vegetables now

Hopefully, the unusual spate of unseasonably warm weather we had earlier this spring did not fool you, and you’ve been patiently waiting to get your hot weather veggies, such as tomatoes and peppers, into your summer vegetable garden.

Now is a good time to start planting these delectable goodies.

Rethinking the benefits of crunches
I’ve been doing crunches all my adult life and it may be one of the reasons I have back problems. Research from the University of Waterloo in Ontario has found that repeated bending of the spine, such as occurs when doing crunches, can contribute over time to damage of spinal discs. The results are presented — along with a lot of other useful information — in the book, “Ultimate Back Fitness and Performance” by Stuart McGill.

Is 401(k) good for America?
Internal Revenue Code section 401(k) is the only section of the US tax code that average people can cite.
They know it has something to do with whether or not they can retire with dignity. Or retire at all.

He is there when you need Him
Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me. — Psalm 139:7-10
