Gas Price Drumbeat: Filled up for $1.99 near Perryville

To ColumbiaMagazine.com

As I drove home from Frankfort yesterday, I noted the gas prices. In Frankfort gas was 2.26, 1.99 (YES) near Perryville, 2.18 in Lebanon and 2.26 in Campbellsville.

I was sad to see the prices here when we returned, and glad I had filled up for 1.99.

Sigogglin, A new old word

Sigogglin clocktower photo by Shamarie Claiborne.

To ColumbiaMagazine.com

Maury Lewis sends this fromWikipedia, which carries this entry, "Sigogglin is an archaic word meaning "to lean forward to the right and listen carefully.' It is used in parts of Appalachia (Eastern U.S.) that means skewed to the side, or out of balance." CM was using the word in its true, or Appalachian sense, of course. Sigoggle ought to mean "appraising members of the opposite sex out of corners of eyes from parked cars at the Circle R, Avalon, Gene's Freeze, or Southside Restaurants in the 1950s and 1960s."

If a ruling is made by neologist Oral Hancock on sigoggle, it will be posted at a later date. We may have to wait until the First Monday in 2009, maybe not--Oral can make decisions without eight other dangerous colleagues.

West Texan would get lawn chair; just sit and look at Adair scene

About: PHOTO, Bull Run Creek from Dwight Curry Road Bridge

To ColumbiaMagazine.com:

Out here on the plains of West Texas, we will call that breathtaking! I hope the locals are taking it all in. I would get a lawn chair and just sit for hours and be still with the landscapes. Beautiful shot.

Feedback: To Steps should be more welcoming

Comment on seeing photo "Steps should be more welcoming business women say"

To ColumbiaMagazine.com

MayI ask where is the eldercare going to be at if all these changes are going on. I have two  people in my family that go there and they just love it, and gives them something to look forward to doing each day of their lives. As we get older we still the love and friendship of thers in our lives, just as it is in our younger years of learning. Please let's not give up on our elder's and take away the joys of living and being  able to be social and have active lives. Thank you.

s/Dottie March, full time family care giver

Answer: The Eldercare Center would be just where it is if all the changes take place, but with greatly improved accessibility. The request made by the businesswomen was only to improve the stairs across from the Eldercare and could only help the Eldercare Center. I would think you'd applaud their efforts, as we do. They want the stairs widened, made more welcoming, and, perhaps, have a more gentle rise. That should be a great benefit to the Eldercare Center, don't you think? -EW

Feedback: Helping the Mayoral search for a CWB name

Comment on item in article, "Columbia City Council Report, Tuesday, Sept. 3, 2008/Mayor wants new bypass to be called something else. Asks for name suggestions"

To ColumbiaMagazine.com

May I suggest to Mayor Pat Bell that the Columbia Western Bypass be named the "Curtis Hardwick Thoroughfare," or similar name in honor of the Columbia Mayor who went to Frankfort and did so much to finally get the road through. It should not be "Hardwick Memorial," anything, because we're still going to have him around for a long time.

As a second suggestion, if this one is not popular, may I suggest "Ronald P. Rogers Roadway." Can't think of anyone more deserving or anyone who has given more to the community.

Remembering Bert Stotts: He was wonderful carver

To ColumbiaMagazine.com:

I was greatly saddened this morning when I saw the obituary for Bert Stotts.

As a child growing up at my father's store in Sparksville, Mr. Bert was a daily visitor and one of my Dad's favorite checker playing friends. Ironically, his passing was on what would have been my Dad's 86th birthday.

Mr. Bert not only was a great checker player, but he was also wonderful at carving miniature tools.

COF day early on recycling household batteries

To ColumbiaMagazine.com

Durn! - Talk 'bout "a day late and a dollar short."

Miz Emily accompanied me yestiday to ARC with a pick-up plum loaded with recyclables.

We  have a bag of roughly 90 small batteries from the annual change out which we do on January 1st every year.

This year I saved them hoping to recycle but was told ARC only took rechargeables. Hopefully by the time we have another load, I'll remember where I put em.

s/The COF

Mr. Sinclair at Adair Recycling is looking for a place to take the household batteries, but is accepting them. He also is wanting help on recycling Styrofoam. He doesn't have a place to ship it to, right now. -EW

Letter: Information sought on Isaac Hagan, Hagan family

LETTERS and FEEDBACK; Also: LOCAL HISTORY

Ed,

I was wondering if anyone has ever sent you anything on the Hagans of Adair County?

This is my husband's family. His grandmother was a Hagan before marrying a Reliford.

Her dad died when she was 3 years old so we don't know much about him.

His name was Issac Hagan. He married Alice Romines. They are buried at Redlick Cemetery.

Any help with this that you can give me will be appreciated.

Reader thanks GRAS and Warden Jimmy Harmon

To the editor, ColumbiaMagazine.com:

I would like to thank the Green River Animal Shelter and Jimmy Harmon for collecting all of the homeless cats that were in the Hayes Street area. They were very professional and took great care in taking these animals off the city streets and possibly finding them new homes. I was very impressed with the cleanliness and professional atmosphere at the animal shelter.
