Letter: Would question business acumen if golf is decider To ColumbiaMagazine.com I agree 100% with the comments made earlier about the golf course. I think it borders on the ridiculous to ask the public to pay for keeping an "attraction" which a very small percentage of the county uses. I would question the integrity and business acumen of a company which based their decision to locate here, or not, on whether we have a golf course!s/Debra Dickson 2009-01-01 14:19:42 | Comments | Printable version

Kristin Goodin helped with Rose Bowl Parade floats My daughter, Kristin Goodin, helped work on the floats of the City of West Covina and the Rotary Club International in this year's 2009 Rose Bowl Parade which takes place in Pasadena, California. Kristin graduated from Western Kentucky University on December 13, 2008, with a degree in Agriculture and a minor in Biology. She is attending the parade for the second consecutive year, along with several other Western students. To anyone who watches the parade today, know there was a little bit of Adair County and Kentucky represented in the production of the parade. -INETTE GOODIN 2009-01-01 11:42:15 | Comments | Printable version
Writer: Pinewood CC serves just small portion of community ColumbiaMagazine.com supports the efforts to raise private money to enable Lindsey Wilson College to own and operate e Pinewood Country Club. The following comments, from a different viewpoint, is from "An Adair County Citizen," whose name and contact information is on file. -EW About: OP-ED - Pinewood: It's not just about the golf course Dear Ed, I just finished reading the article about Pinewood Country Club. I admire the efforts of Mr. Walker and the Adair Co. Community, along with Lindsey Wilson College, to preserve the Country Club. However, it really bothers me to see Pinewood being used as a "prop" to usher in money from members of the Community. The truth (as I see it) is that Pinewood is a place where a very small portion of our community gathers to socialize, play golf, and possibly have a wedding reception or family gathering. It simply isn't a place where all people in our community can go or use.

Village Grump is suffering from culture shock, he says To Ed: You have my permission to water down any of my comments, Ed. Perhaps it is your duty to do such. I am still suffering from culture shock and I use that term loosely. Change is certainly not a welcomed thing in Adair County, Kentucky. I can live with that, but I insist that my freedom of speech is being stifled. s/The Village Grumpfrom Charles Marshburn 2009-01-01 04:48:39 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
