Hello readers, another beautiful week with just a hint of cold weather and our first frost of the fall season arrived in Paint Lick to announce an end to the harvesting time. We should have some rather nice autumn days in the week ahead, with day temperatures in the 60s and chilly nights.
GED classes will again be offered at The Friends of Paint Lick on Monday evenings from 5 to 7 p.m. and you can register this Monday evening at Friends or you may call 1-859-792-1240. These classes are sponsored by Garrard County Adult Education and friends. If you have an interest, please feel free to join us on Oct. 26.
It’s time for Revival at Leavell Green Christian Church. The event started on Wednesday, Oct. 21 and will run through Sunday evening, Oct. 25, beginning time is 7 p.m.
Everyone is welcome to share in their singing praises. Workers are cleaning up around Rick’s Diner. You’ll see them most every day tearing down and boarding up. The news is ... they hope to have our one and only, favorite store in Paint Lick open before Christmas. I always did love to see the many, bright, Christmas decorations that filled the store every year. So, I keep on looking and hoping. They will get it done, I’m sure.
Happy birthday to Ceyrl Green this Tuesday, Oct. 20. I hope he has a good day. To my big sis, Emma Anglin of Jackson Holler (I’ll always call it that), a great big hug and a great day on Monday, Oct. 26. I know you’ll be reading this, sis, I love you. I have special prayers for another sister this evening as she goes through a tough time, Joyce has endured more illnesses than I can even begin to talk about and I pray for her always. If you have a mother, please treat her good and let her know you love her ... come what may. You’ll not have any regrets when “time comes to pay up.” Another old saying from a great friend is always a true one.
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

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. -
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! -
Topping trees is a bad practice
Topping damages hundreds of trees each year in Kentucky.
Many people are unaware of the detrimental effects of this practice.
Topping involves the drastic removal or cutting back of large branches in mature trees leaving stubs.
Topping can make a tree hazardous and reduce its life. -

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.
