UNION CITY —
Union City Ruritan building was full Saturday night as members and family came together for the annual Christmas dinner.
The meal included ham, turkey and an abundance of other foods.
Following the meal, there was a special presentation. Union City’s volunteer fire chief presented Leo Conner with a plaque of appreciation which read, “Union City Vol. Fire Dept. presents this award to Leo Conner in recognition and appreciation for 40 years of dedicated service 1972-2012.”
Madison County Fire Chief Jim Cox also presented Conner an appreciation plaque from the Madison County Fire Department.
The community appreciates Leo for his faithfulness to both Ruritan and the fire department.
New windows in the Ruritan building have been installed. Almost enough money has been raised to cover the cost. Money above the windows’ need will go toward doors. The deadline for giving to the Windows Fund will be Jan. 1. If you wish to donate, contact Robert Murphy at 623-9461 for details.
Union City Christian Church will have a children’s Christmas program, “The Cupcake Christmas,” Sunday, Dec. 16, at 6:30 p.m. Casey Daugherty is director of this program.
“His Own” is a gospel music quartet made up of Phill Cole, Debbie Broaddus, Jessica and Rick Hayes, and pianist Sally Childers.
This group is releasing a new CD with a party and invite you to celebrate with them on Saturday, Dec. 8.
There will be refreshments at 5 p.m. and a free concert at 6 p.m. at Big Hill Christian Church, Goggins Lane, Richmond.
Birthday wishes to Marla Steele on Monday and Sondra Moberly next Thursday.

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. -
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. -

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. -
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.

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.
