Welding school offered

By Brandon Sears Extension Agent

RICHMOND — The Madison County Cooperative Extension Service and the Madison County Area Technology Center (Vocational Tech. School) are offering a Welding School for Farmers. We are planning to offer this program in January and February of 2013. Participants will learn MIG welding, Stick welding and Oxy-acetylene cutting and brazing.

Meeting details are as follows:

We will meet from 6-9 p.m. two nights per week starting in January 2013. Meetings will take place either on Mondays and Wednesdays, or Tuesdays and Thursdays (depending on what the group decides). Training will take place at the Madison County Vocational Tech School beside Madison Central High School in Richmond. The full training will last for 7 weeks. You are not required to participate for the entire length of the program and can pick which methods you want to learn more about.  

Cost per person will be approximately $150. Local sponsorship is available and will reduce the price depending on how many are secured. In order to offer this program, we need at least 10 participants. Please do not let the cost deter you — give me a call if you are the slightest bit interested.

Participants will be trained by a welding instructor who is certified in both teaching and industry proficiency. You will learn by doing and will have ample opportunity to practice on your own and with guidance. If you would like, you can bring a project from the farm to work on.

Special thanks to Doug West, Principal of the Madison County Area Technology Center. We will be taking sign-ups through December.  If you are interested in this unique opportunity, give me a call at 623-4072.

Educational programs of the University of Kentucky Cooperative Extension Service serve all people regardless of race, color, age, sex, religion, disability or national origin.

  • My! How things have changed

    I was just thinking the other day about how difficult it is for those of us who are beyond middle age. Things are just not like they were when we were young.
    How many of you have noticed that stairs are getting steeper, groceries are getting heavier and everything is much farther away?

  • Don-McNay-.jpg Peter Perlman — Life lessons from a lawyer’s lawyer

    One of the great moments of my life was sitting next to legendary Louisville attorney Frank Haddad at a luncheon when he learned he had received the first Peter Perlman Outstanding Trial Lawyer award from the Kentucky Academy of Trial Lawyers.
    As they started his bio, the surprised Frank started crying like a baby. A sudden heart attack took him less than a year later. Winning the Perlman award was the crowning achievement of his career.

  • Don-McNay-.jpg Credit score insanity

    Frequently, people stop me and ask me personal finance questions.
    The most common is how to improve their credit history score.
    If you need to improve your credit score, it means you have lousy credit. Before fixing the score, people need to ask how their credit got so bad to begin with.

  • Paula-Jones-c.jpg Fresh strawberries at the farmer's market

    Hello from Baldwin,
    How is everyone’s week going? I hope everyone is having a great one. Well the weather has improved a lot. I have heard the lawn mowers buzzing since the rain stopped for a few of days. Everyone is trying to get their yard mowed and trimmed up before the next rain. Gardeners are out working diligently working the grounds that have finally dried enough to plant things. It has been very difficult on the gardeners with all of the rain to get their gardens planted. Oh, won’t those fresh vegetables taste good.

  • Tim-Jones.jpg Union City Day is this Saturday

    Union City Day is this Saturday. There will be music, food and yard sales including some "Made in Union City" items. I have heard that one of the music sessions will include folks from Union City Baptist Church with ukuleles. For yard sales, you can start setting up at 7 a.m. Saturday morning. It will be a great day to get out and meet your neighbors. Two raffles are underway, one is for a quilt handmade by Mary Sewell. Raffle tickets are available for several prizes including, a 32 inch TV, a Garmin GPS unit and Paula Deen Cookware. See a Ruritan member to purchase tickets.  Drawings will be after 2 p.m. All proceeds from both raffles will go to the floor replacement fund.

  • Katie-Rollins.jpg The sun is going to shine for us

    It's another cloudy Tuesday here in Paint Lick, but folks, the sun is going to shine for us all this week, so we can get into our gardens and plow up our fields and just be happy that maybe the rain will stay away, at least for a little while. We have a wonderful breeze out that will soon dry the ground.

    I thought I would tell you one of my family stories even though it’s not a Newby story. It seems no matter what part of the country you’re from, a country tale sounds the same.
