Knifley, KY reader delves into a mystery in her community About: COF cites Shakespeare on value of dilatory time To ColumbiaMagazine.com: I have asked you before who COF of Knifley is but have not got an answer. I , and many others would like to know who this person is. Since we don't gather at Arnolds or Bakers, we would like to know who is speaking for us or against us. I agree on the new school building. I would like to know who is looking over Knifley. Please give him my e-mail address and send him or her this note.... Thank you. s/Sue Perkins Thanks, Sue Perkins. What's in a name. The COF, by any other name, is still the COF. The COF has identified himself (he speaks oft of his wife) as The Crusty Ol' Fool. I will forward your email to him, and he will contact you if need be. Just for the record: He is not Wendell Rainwater, Charles Patterson, Darrell Baker or the ghost of John Dunbar, nor is he any of the Keith Livermores.

(ADV) Patty Bunch at Ole Town Cafe, Knifley, KY tonight I, Patty Dixon Bunch, would like to invite all my friends, family, and Knifley Grade School classmates to come join me Saturday night, April 18, 2009, at the Ole Town Cafe, 12190 Knifley RD, Knifley, KY. I have been invited to come sing. Since that was my first stage as a very young child, I am very excited to go back and sing again. I hope to have my sisters and maybe more of my family come sing with me for a fews songs. I know we are in for a good time. Randy and his wife would love for you to have supper, but it's not a requirement. Come by and pull up a chair and visit with us for a while. The Ole Town Cafe is the converted Knifley Grade Center and is located on KY 551 about 15 miles out of Columbia.

Gas price hits $3.99; is it time to think of busses? Has anybody considered a shuttle bus service? To ColumbiaMagazine.com: Gas prices in Russell Springs hit $3.99 yesterday afternoon. Has anyone considered the possibility of a bus or shuttle service for our area. If you consider the traffic flow on Greenhills Road...we are really going a lot from Columbia to Russell Springs. Once the bridge finally opens it is a straight shot up Highway 80. A bus route from the Wal-Mart parking lot to Russell Springs and maybe one going to Campbellsville, as well. It sure is something to think about with these gas prices...I have cut back on my driving as much as possible. And I am now recycling our trash. I'm trying to do my part! s/Pam Kermeen 2008-05-23 08:45:47 | Comments | Printable version

Wild teenagers identified by their strange attire COF writes from Knifley: Earlier this year we had Rose Breasted Grosbeaks at the feeders. Today I saw an apparition! This avian was approx 8 inches with a grosbeak type bill. The head was identical to a female being brown with prominent white streaks running over the eyes and down the neck but the body was almost that of a male grosbeak. The back was black with some white streaks and the underside was pure white with a triangular crest. However, the crest was orange, like a Robin's breast rather than the rose patch. Please tell me that this was a mutant or a species not in my "Birds of Kentucky Field Guide." The alternative is that Miz Emily is right again - I'm just a Crusty Ole Fool that gets confused entirely too easily. --Cof at Dun Roman, high on a ridge above beautiful downtown Knifely 2007-09-25 16:11:01 | Comments | Printable version

COF has encounter with man from Duluth A great essay by The COF From high above downtown Knifley or Knife-ly; either way, a beautiful, veritable paradise, located the center of the universe, the Eden of Planet Earth, District 6, Adair County, KY. (U.S. of A.) This tale is a time in the telling. When you finish it I think you will understand why it took a while to go public! Having some business on the square in Columbia, that quaint bedroom community of the Knifley metropolis, I mistakenly traveled without the confines and constraints of Miz Emily. Having completed the task at hand, I decided to stop at Catfish Plus on the way home. As usual the place was crowded so I took my meal and headed to the picnic tables under the shade tree in back. 2007-08-22 11:23:48 | Comments | Printable version
