Cat and Mouse may be Harmony Kingdom product

About: "Her Cat and Mouse actually made of ceramic, Kristy Keene notes

To ColumbiaMagazine.com

The Cat and Mouse somewhat resemble the kind of thing that Harmony Kingdom produces. She (Kristy Keene) might check on ebay to see if there are any similar items. Ebay is not only a great source when it comes time to buy things, but it also has a wealth of information in the descriptions, providing the descriptions are correct, of course.

Her Cat and Mouse actually made of ceramic, Kristy Keene notes

About: Wants to know more about Cat and Mouse by Kristy Keene

To ColumbiaMagazine.com

This particular cat and mouse set actually are not made from ivory, but from a ceramic material. The head of the cat and mouse can be removed to reveal a little secret bowl inside.

I use them to put my rings in when I am washing the dishes. They are about two inches tall and made in the UK. I saw these on my step-mother's desk at work and fell in love with them. Unfortunately, she doesn't remember where she bought them.

Frank Dickerson adopted by his California Netsukes

To ColumbiaMagazine.com:

I really enjoy your mag and am especially fond of Tom Chaney's offerings. Wish he would do more.

Attached is a photo of my personal Netsukes. These two little girls adopted me as their grandpaw since their American gramp is deceased and their other gramp lives in Japan.

Photo by their father, who is an Irishman, taken Christmas, 2006. Their mother is Japanese.

Their favorite sport is to remind me that I have no hair and a big tummy.

Deteriorating right on schedule.
Frank Dickerson

Thanks! Wonderful photo of all three! There's a Tom Chaney review today. Please note that it was his editor, a man of the highest honor, not CM, who called the notorious Chaney a "rapscallion." We both encourage Chaney to do more, however. He does ad some class--a lot of culture and enlightenment--to ColumbiaMagazine.com

Carol Perkins: John Denver...The Memorial Service

A great fan of John Denver's, the writer paid homage to great singer in Lexington, accompanied by her saintly husband, Guy. It was to have been simple tree planting service, but events, as they frequently do for our heroine, took some comic twists that day. -CM
To read her next previous story click on Beech Bend Park

By Carol Perkins

Those who know me well know what a John Denver fan I was. When he died so tragically in October, 1997, I seriously grieved for the man and the loss of his music. I watched the news as thousands of fans made their pilgrimage to Colorado to pay their respects. I didn't take my adoration that far; however, after searching the internet, I did locate several sites in Kentucky where fans were gathering to honor his memory.

GENTLE READER

The rapscallion who writes this column has been dashing about over the country for the past few days telling stories, trying his best to keep ahead of the law. He asks for our forgiveness and wishes to run just one more piece from the files upon a promise to return to his typing machine soon. This column originally ran 22 January 2006. -The EDITOR (for Tom Chaney and others)

Eats, Shoots & Leaves:
Or -- Punctuation Matters -- Even if it is Only a Matter of Life and Death

" A Panda walks into a cafe. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and fires two shots in the air.

" 'Why?' asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes towards the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.

Letter: Earth Hour is extremely important

Against opinion expressed int: "Contrarian may turn on all lights during Earth Hour"

To ColumbiaMagazine.com:

Wow! I couldn't disagree with a person more.I think it is extremely important to save our energy, no matter what price we pay for it, and I am in disbelief, given all the scientific facts that support Global Warming that people are still in denial.

I have two young children and I think anything we can do to make life easier on them is worth the trouble. We may not be able to change everything but we certainly can try and try to give them a cleaner environment to grow up in.

A warm memory: Mabel Blankenship, the healing woman

About:"Mabel Blankenship had a gift for healing"

To ColumbiaMagazine.com

To hear this story about Mabel (Blankenship) warms my heart.

I can remember being at her house lots of times when I was a child. She helped my mother make quilts. She was always the same friendly lady every time I was there and I still think about her today.

I lost my mom to cancer in 1989, But I still remember how we were raised hard just like Mabel's kids were. And for that we should be eternally grateful for having that kind of mothers.

Against Earth Hour

About: "EARTH HOUR is at 830pm local time tonight March 28 2009"

To ColumbiaMagazine.com:

This is a stupid idea about turning of the lights for an hour to "vote" for the Earth. I'm not going to sit around in darness for an hour pretending to be Captain Caveman. No, I'll be doing laundry, running my dishwasher and watching a DVD on my 72" Flat Screen T.V. with all my lights on.

I wonder if Al Gore will be sitting in the dark tonight, somehow I doubt it.

B.J. Fudge: All from Adair should have access to The Pines

In response to: V.T. Yarberry: A proud time for Columbia and Adair Co., KY!!!

Hey Ed,

I want to thank everyone who helped to keep our golf course in Adair County. I know it was a gargantuan effort, and I am sure our community would have been culturally diminished had we lost our course, no pun intended.

I use the pronoun "our" speaking as an Adair Countian. However, until the dozens of "occasional" Adair County golfers can play golf at The Pines I don't think we can really say that it is our golf course.

Suggests new names for Country Club RD, Columbia, KY

To ColumbiaMagazine.com:

Now a new street name is in order. Maybe "The Pines Lane", The Pines Drive, Lindsey Pines Drive.

I would have preferred the dining room be named "The Eagle's Nest". An eagle in golf is two under par, a really good score whereas "mulligan" suggests that you hit a bad shot and have to hit again: a no no in real golf.

Chuck Hinman: It's Just Me #003. Pills, pills, pills

A Chuck Hinman It's Just Me short story No. 003.
The next previous Chuck Hinman story: I Smell A Mouse

Reader comments to CM are appreciated, as are emails directly to Mr. Hinman at: charles.hinman @sbcglobal.net

By Chuck Hinman

Pills, pills, pills
As you know, taking pills for old folks is as common as changing diapers on a baby. The "how and when" takes many forms.

My daily ritual of taking pills is simple, so simple that it is easy for me to become careless in getting the job done. Being simple doesn't mean it is not important. For example, I know that if I am careless about taking my coumadin, a blood-thinner, I put myself at risk for a stroke. I have had two strokes and I don't want another.

More on Cane Valley, KY settlers after reading Cyrus story

There's a plaque at Thomas Jefferson's Monticello showing a bill of laden from Jefferson to Charles Massie's father, who sold apples and cider to Jefferson. Charles Massie was an early settler of Cane Valley, Adair Co., KY
About: "Cyrus/Cane Valley, 1918, with ''On the Road''

To ColumbiaMagazine.com

I just read the article about Cane Valley and found it interesting in that both men mentioned are ancestors of mine. Charles Massie moved to Kentucky from Albemarle Co. Virginia. He lived near a small town called Batesville. His father, Thomas, sold apples and cider to Thomas Jefferson.

There is even a plaque at Monticelo, showing a bill of laden from Jefferson to Massie. Massie and two Page brother James and Edward left Batesville for KY. One Page brother settled in Barren Co., KY, the other in Cane Valley. Just thought I would send this story to you.

Writer objects to membership requirement Adair County golfers

Agrees with: "Thinks better idea would be to drop country club image"

Ed,

I can't help but agree with Ms.(Sandra) Howery.

So many people in Adair County love to play golf but can't afford the yearly membership. It's a shame that with little to do in this area, folks here are restricted from the golf course unless they have a spare thousand bucks or so to toss out.

I know several 20-somethings here that would love to take advantage of the course and have a day of fun.
