Girls Freshman, JV teams had great seasons To ColumbiaMagazine.com: Our Girls Freshmen and JV basketball teams both won their districts this year. However, neither the ColumbiaMagazine.com nor the Adair Progress ever mentioned any of these young ladies' accomplishments. A few mentions were made of the Varsity girls. Our JV and Freshmen teams both had a nearly flawless season, not to mention becoming the district champs. I am not complaining, just giving you a heads up for next season. These girls are going to be the ones to watch over the next few years. I just wish some of our local media would give them a little bit of the spotlight. s/Brian Taylor Thanks for sending this news. We are pround of the accomplishments of the teams. ColumbiaMagazine.com is entirely dependent on volunteer sports reporters for all sports news. We are happy to post news as it is received. We hope a follower of the JV and Freshman teams will send notes next season.-CM 2009-02-28 12:32:23 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Sports

Tonya Dunn concedes war of words to BJ Fudge With concession, she asks him to send bag of food to shelter Reply to: BJ Fudge letter To BJ Fudge, via CM: I didn't send the letter to look down my nose at the rural farming community. Anyone who knows me very well knows that I don't look down my nose at anyone. I love Columbia and didn't mean to offend anyone. As I was writing I just wasn't thinking of the people who look for offense where none is intended. I only meant to ask for help for those poor animals. I truly did not mean that letter the way it has obviously been taken. If you are so offended by what I said that you have to pull out a ten dollar word like "ptyalized" to punish me with then I can only say that I am very sorry, you win. Now that is settled, can you send a bag of food to the shelter? s/Tonya Dunn 2009-02-28 09:26:30 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

BJ Fudge writes in defense of his idea of local values About: "An Open Letter to the Editor from Tonya Dunn" Hey Ed, I know you don't want your paper to become another "t---x" neither do I. But I as a South Central Kentuckian am just a little put out by this "looking down the nose, elitism" ptyalized in Ms. Dunn''s letter. Billy Joe Fudge Ms. Dunn, You did not list any credentials that support your Doctorates in Philosophy, Psychology, and Sociology. It is quite obvious that you have been a student of these three "sciences" in some capacity for most of your life. It is also obvious that your studies have taken you into a realm that we who are "emotionally detached" can never hope to enter.
