Feedback: A lesson learned from Henrietta Scott To ColumbiaMagazine.com: Mrs. Scott is the reason I take pictures and love art as much as I do today. She once told me before I took her class that I did not have to be good at drawing but that I did have to enjoy it and appreciate it. She was correct. Adair County is very lucky to have her as citizen and I am lucky to call her my friend. With love from a student you had a lasting impression on! s/Shamarie Photo, Henrietta Scott and Family 2007-08-20 16:44:36 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

Raising Julia Ann Pickett was a full-time, full-town chore It really did take the whole downtown to raise this Columbian, whose mischief kept her in the spot light and hot water from the time she was the star of the wedding at the Presbyterian church, to getting stuck crossing Burkesville Street in a culvert, to the beautiful, but unappreciated haircut she gave Benny Burr, to the disastrous first trip to buy bread at Kroger's: She was the kid everybody loved, who got in one scrape after another. Whose mother readily admits her brother is the better kid (anybody would have been she says with a laugh). The grandmother of today, with unbelieveable humor when she tells her own story, has a powerful love for Columbia. "The people don't come any better and the love any stronger than we all had, and have, for one another. That's what made our childhood so special here," she says now. The story will have revisions. We hope you'll check back at times. And it won't be complete until Julia Ann Pickett takes over and completes a book, which would be, for certain, an American classic. By Ed Waggener Nothing in ColumbiaMagazine.com has ever seemed to connect with so many people as Billy Conn's picture of the "Birthday Party, ca 1952" which was posted August 14, 2007." It didn't take long for the identification asked for to come in, with very few errors from anyone. Now we know that the event was to celebrate the sixth birthday of Julia Ann Pickett (Thompson), on May 29, 1951. She remembers it like it was yesterday, and has identified almost everyone in the picture." "Birthdays were different, then," she said. "You didn't have a party every year. You chose a year and that was your birthday party year. I chose my sixth birthday," she recalls, and that is how so many of the town's most popular kids came to be there."

Hodgenville prepares for Lincoln bicentennial celebration With just a 95 mile round trip from Columbia, Adair Countians can see two laboratory make-over towns, Greensburg and Hodgenville, which can be missed today because of the changing patterns of travel, particularly in routes to Louisville. Both communities are way ahead in downtown preservation/beautification. Columbia's Jimmy Downey has given Greensburg the highest critique: "It's prettery than Colonial Williamsburg," he said. - CM Commonwealth News Center story Downtown Hodgenville is getting a whole new look, just in time for the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial celebration, which officially begins in early 2008. "At this point, we're about 85 percent complete," said Hodgenville Mayor Terry Cruse. "Things are starting to take shape and it's looking very good."

Letter: Thinks Lindsey has additional assets to share Dear Editor and citizens of Adair County, While traveling this great country of ours, I have noticed that many local college affiliates in local communities offer sports clinics to work with the youth of that community. We have Lindsey Wilson College right here in our midst. Lindsey Wilson recruits players from all over the world for various athletics. I do not feel that it would be asking too much for these players of the various sports to offer clinics at a nominal fee or free for the youth athletic organizations in our community. The college students of Lindsey Wilson would be able to offer the leadership and training techniques that may help some of our young athletes have viable opportunities in their future. I know our children do not have many options due to the economic strife that strangles our area. I do believe that our children would benefit tremendously from the tutoring of many of the gifted athletes that attend Lindsey Wilson College. Lindsey Wilson has one of the best soccer programs in the United States and a very good basketball, and baseball program as well. I would like for the Administrators and athletes at Lindsey Wilson College to please consider giving back to our humble community and offer our children an opportunity. Sincerely, Mr. and Mrs. Allen Owens and family 2007-08-20 05:53:44 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
