Quiet in Columbia as all await jury decision in trial of trooper There is an almost eerie quiet in Columbia at this hour, with hardly any traffic moving, apparently because of the wait for a decision from Liberty, KY. The case grows out of the death, on June 4, 2007, of Billy Phillips, following an incident at the Adair County Regional Jail, on Friday, June 1, 2007. The spokesperson said that the jury started deliberations at about 10:30am, Casey County time. "All that was done this morning was closing arguments." Testimony for the defense was completed yesterday afternoon, he said. "We're just waiting now," he said. 2007-12-06 11:21:08 | Comments | Printable version

Thanks to MW for the help on the prices out of town. On kygasprices.com prices are at 2.79 meantime ours are still $2.91! Looks like they don't like to sell much gas due to our shortage. s/Gerald Doss 2007-12-06 09:34:03 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

Remembering: The unforgettable Sylvia Wilson To CM & everyone whose lives were touched by Sylvia Wilson: Thanks so much for your article on my grandmother Sylvia Wilson. She truly loved her job and all the folks she met while doing her job. She wore a corsage each and every day and little do people know she would claim to feel naked without them. Most of her wall in her room was covered with various bows and flowers. She was a great woman and she did so much for me that I can't even begin to tell you about how she will be greatly missed by our whole family.
