Click on headline for complete "100 years ago."

By JIM

The front page of the Adair County News one hundred years ago today -March 3, 1915 - carried a savory potpourri of information.

One item of considerable interest to many was the recent destruction by dynamite of a registered distillery at Sand Lick, near where Cumberland, Adair, and Russell corner up. (The News, ever ready to take up the mantle of prohibition, quickly pointed out the distillery was in Cumberland County.) On Monday night of the previous week, co-owner John Oldham, who lived half a mile from the operation, heard an explosion. "Upon hearing the report, he got up, looked out, to see the buildings in flames." He and the other owner, Ed Oldham, immediately contracted for blood hounds to be brought to the scene of the crime and in short order the sharp-nosed canines had earned their kibble. The next edition of the News reported that on Friday, William Miller of the Bryan community, Russell County, had been tracked "to his door," arrested and charged with "blowing up and burning the [distillery] buildings," and carried to Burkesville, "where he bonded until next Saturday."

He leaves six direct living descendants.

City Council enthusiastic for pedestrian safety improvements


2015-03-03 - City Hall Council meeting room, 116 Campbellsville Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener.
It was a Red Letter day in City Hall last night, when Mary Ann Loy, at podium, right, gave a detailed account of simple solutions the City could do to improve pedestrian safety all around Columbia, and got an enthusiastic reception from Mayor Curtis Hardwick, Mayor Pro Tem Ron Rogers, and other members of the council. Above, clockwise, are (Rogers), Councillors Charles Grimsley and Mark D. Harris (both partially hidden); City Clerk Rhonda Loy; Mayor Hardwick, City Attorney Marshall Loy; Councillors Craig Dean, Linda Waggener and Craig Lasley. Councillor Waggener urged the Council to take immediate action by following Mary Ann Loy's suggestion, to split up areas of the community and walk the area and come back with suggestions to improve conditions for pedestrians, those who walk for health, those who must use streets for mobility scooters. Most of the council claimed sections early. Former Mayor Mark D. Harris endorsed the plan, and commented that the new Payroll Tax should help to finance needed painting, striping, and marking projects. - ED WAGGENER

Dave Walters, Cooking with Dave, a feature on WLCU-Tv


2015-03-03 - WLCU Broadcast Studios, 203 West Broadway, Campbellsville, KY - Photo from WLCU student promotions.
Some know Dave Walters as pastor at Lowell Avenue Baptist Church in Campbellsville. Some know him as vice president for admissions and student services at Campbellsville University. Others will say he is half of the Dave n Ed Show, a comedy produced annually with his partner Rev. Ed Pavy. Now, in addition to those, Walters will be known as the chef of "Cooking with Dave," the cooking show on WLCU television that follows in the tradition first started by Ed McGuire. Walters said he has attended culinary arts school which gives him some credentials. Linda Waggener, CU
