Mr. Marshburn cites another use for Fat Tire Amber Ale About: Epicurean Kentuckian Fat Tire Amber Ale To ColumbiaMagazine.com: A real coincidence that my son had at least one of these in Steamboat Springs, CO, this week during spring break from Georgia College and State University in Milledgeville, GA. I had never heard of it. I'll bet shrimp boiled in this would be very tasty! s/Charles Marshburn Well, I'll be! You can drink it, too? Boiling shrimp in it was Fat Tire's only intended use as far as we had known. Thanks for making us aware of this additional utility. -EK 2009-03-28 12:47:28 | Comments | Printable version
A-Team won even more awards than previously posted! To ColumbiaMagazine.com I saw where you mentioned the FPS team at Adair County Middle School placing at the Governor's Cup in Louisville, KY.But you forgot to mention the others that placed.
Thank you!! s/Trish Jackson Thanks. We're proud of the Adair County A-Teams and try to publish everything we receive on them. When there's omission, it's not because we forgot or purposely omitted it, but because it wasn't reported to us. ColumbiaMagazine.com is mostly dependent on volunteer reporters. Thanks for sending this information. Hope you will continue to do so. -EW 2009-03-28 11:24:14 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Education
Mabel Blankenship had a gift for healing By Ann Burton Murphy Once I cut myself and I was bleeding profusely, so someone went and got Mabel Blankenship. Mabel had a gift of healing. When something serious came up, everyone went to her, especially poor people, and the older ones that didn't trust doctors, as well. As I said before, my foot was really bleeding. I remember, at least three big pans of bloody water, that someone kept changing, while my mom held me, to keep me still. Mabel took my foot between her hands, looked at me and after a few minutes the bleeding stopped. Mabel was a hard working woman and was greatly missed after she passed on. I did learn one of her healing powers, and it does work. 2009-03-28 11:13:49 | Comments | Printable version

Contrarian may turn on all lights during Earth Hour About: xxxx To ColumbiaMagazine.com: This Earth Hour thing is as phony as Global Warming, and the people are being hoaxed into this atmosphere of comming togeather to help. Truth is, they are being brainwashed into letting the Govt. and the United Nations squeeze more and more liberty and freedom, and money from them and making them feel good about it. Yes, turning off lights, tonite or anytime will cut back on energy. But when a cut back happens, no matter what the product, water, fuel, in this case electric power, the cost will eventually go up. So the Sheeple will all comply. Me, I may turn on all my lights for that hour time period. s/Jerry Hetzler 2009-03-28 08:15:59 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

April Fool's Day comes early in Whitewood, Green Co., KY Click on headline for complete story with photo By Cindy Meyer ColumbiaMagazine.com Sycamore Springs, Adair-Green Co., KY frontier correspondent Hello again, still reading ColumbiaMagazine.com from the far corners of the county. With April Fools Day just around the corner. I thought I'd pass on this photo of a Daffodil snatched from the yard of Mrs. Eliza Perkins who lives in the Whitewood Community of Green County, KY. Ms Perkins who was completely unaware that the Daffodil was plucked from her very own yard was heard to say... " Those are so pretty, I never have seen a Daffodil quite like that. I sure would like to have a few of those bulbs." Her son David could not hold his amusement, chuckled and said, "Mom, those are your Daffodils, we just added food coloring to the water, and they absorbed it through the stems." It was an elementary school Science experiment with a slight twist rekindled as a prelude to a Perfect April Fool Joke. 2009-03-28 04:41:02 | Comments | Printable version
