Tony Martens says 100 gallon a year is winemaking limit About: Wants to know the law on home winemaking Ed: You can make 100 gal. a year for your own use. You cannot sell it, but you can give it away to friends or whoever. s/Tony Martens Before anybody starts work on a batch of wine, does someone have a link to a KRS on the subject? Know whether a limit may be per person or per household? Wouldn't want anybody to run afoul of the law. -EW 2009-07-22 14:26:52 | Comments | Printable version
Wet vs. dry: Two sides to small town coin About: Wet towns not the paradises made out to be To ColumbiaMagazine.com: Bravo, you put into words exactly my thought and views on this. Why do people move to towns and then start trying to replicate where they just came from? Instead, why not stay where you were at? My theory is that people move to this area because we have a somewhat lower cost of living in regards to our real estate, etc.< Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2009-07-22 14:19:03 | Comments | Printable version
For change, but not for Columbia being wet About: Wet towns not the paradises made out to be To ColumbiaMagazine.com I agree with you completely. Change is good, if its good change.Booze on the other hand has never been a good thing for anyone. We live in a small town and people do travel to Marion County for booze. For us to provide and make it convenient for people is just an encouragement to drink more. Our officers do arrest DUI people. They have the privilege of revoking their drivers license. But they can't catch everyone. The old timers in Adair County have never liked the ideal of a wet county. It has been on the ballot before. For those who like wet counties go for it. . . move up the road a few miles and you will be in paradise. For lots of us, we just love Columbia as it dry. s/Alice Wheeler Thanks for your opinion, as always, except for the one argues that anyone who disagrees move. When the next wet/dry election is held, persons with this opinion may find they are in the minority, but that doesn't mean they should have to move, then, either. This is America, after all. -EW 2009-07-22 14:08:00 | Comments | Printable version

Comment on wet county vs. dry county 20 year resident sees more crime in this dry county than she can remember in the wet county in Illiinois where she lived earlier By Lorena Martens You can use my whole name, I am not ashamed of what I have to say First of all, let me say I love Columbia, Kentucky and I would not want to live anywhere else. I want to add my 2 cents to the controversy about wet and dry. Peope who want to drink are going to and there is nothing you can do about it. I have seen some guys around here driving drunk and if they do get arrested nothing is really done about it.

Wet towns not the paradises made out to be Response to: Thinks a winery in Adair Co KY would be loverly To ColumbiaMagazine.com: Why do people move into a community and then try to make it like the place they came from. If they don't like the way we live, then go somewhere more to their liking. I have lived in wet towns and they are not the paradise they are made out to be. We do not need to go wet. There are many more people who feel as I do. s/ Please do not publish my name unless you have to Thanks. Your name need not be published. Your letter makes it across the Civil Discourse standard, though I disagree adamantly that we should tell these well meaning people to move on; we need them, if only for the money they bring - and spend; and some of us find their quare ways funnier than British sitcoms, and a few of them do know how to make real good wine - we hear.

Inside City limits, Columbia, KY: Is the water not getting better? To ColumbiaMagazine.com: Well, I have seen the pictures and heard the stories of the water looking nasty. I was glad that it was not effecting my home. Well guess what. I just ran bath water for two of my children and the water was brown. This is after we fixed my youngest a bottle with, guess what, regular tap water. So what did we just give our daughter? Is the City not doing anything about the water? This is getting pretty bad. I pay the City my money for good quality water and this is what I get?
