This is hard: Marching to a different lighting system

Click on headline for story and photo

By Shamarie Claiborne

The Adair County Marching Band is hoping for lights tonight. The band will be practicing for the Macy's Parade appearance. But's it's been hard. Last night, Thursday, August 6, 2009, at regular season practice, band parents had to line up car headlights for the band to practice. It's kind of a long story, but here's what happened.
  1. The band's practice field is normally the baseball field. But we can't practice there currently, because the lights are being replaced.
  2. Practice was moved to the old football field, Booster Field, temporarily, where lights are available.
  3. When the crow's nest at Booster Field was condemned and had to be replaced, the lights had to be shut off at Booster field.
  4. That meant taking emergency immediate action, and last night that was lining up personal cars to shine lights on Booster Field
Practice was cut short. The car lights were alternately blinding and provided insufficient lighting. We're hoping they've got the Booster Field lights back on tonight. It makes life a whole lot easier.

Our town's famous Jack Russell Stephens

Robert H. Stone, Lebanon, TN, writes about Is Jack Russell Stephens the smartest dog in Adair County
I am loving the correspondence and photographs of Jack Russell Stephens. I sent one of the photographs to my friends who have one named Ace. They got him from a shelter and assume the name is because he has a spot on his forehead that looks like the Ace of Diamonds. -Robert
Thanks, Mr. Stone. We'd love to see a photo of Ace. We've been right pleased with the worldwide fame Jack has gotten, but we're a mite miffed that he hasn't been yet invited to 1600 Pennsylvania AV, been commissioned a Kentucky Colonel, or been invited to appear on Good Morning America (We count Diane Sawyer a born again Adair Countian since she's been to Lindsey Wilson College. ) I bet you that if Rose Kennedy (another born again Adair Countian by virtue of campaigning for her son Jack, at Cornelia Hughes' restaurant on Russell Road in 1960) were alive, there would have been an invitation for Jack to come to Hyannisport by Federal Express this morning.-EW

May just prove The Hawk's Conspiracy Theory

Bryan Blair writes about: http://www.columbiamagazine.com/index.php?sid=31167> Gas Price Drumbeat Could be a conspiracy The Hawk says
Many stations along Interstates have started flashing a 'cash' price and then a 'credit' price on their signs and it usually runs about 3 to 5 cents difference....granted they do have to change the prices, so perhaps the driver did indeed see the price change happen, but just pointing out that I have seen Flying J's, Love's and other truck stops on my daily drive to Louisville running the cash/credit prices and it does look like the price changes before your eyes.-Bryan Blair
Maybe this is an explanation, but it is all to logical for a real conspiracy believer. It may just prove The Hawk's Big Oil Conspiracy against Adair Countians. After all, you are an Adair Countian. I just wish Dr. Neat were alive to explain it. -CM

Commentary: Theory on why Jack is so smart

Sue Mullins writes about: Is Jack Russell Stephens the smartest dog in Adair County
I am pretty sure that the Jack Russell in question seems extra smart because he hangs around with Richard Stephens all the time. Sue Mullins
Maybe. But why aren't any of the rest of us who listen to him not any smarter than we are? -EW

City Mouse has fans

Mary Knight writes about Downtown Columbia KY: It's a grate life
Pen--I've enjoyed your photos for a long time, especially the food shots. But this mouse tops them all!! I'll be looking for him/her whenever I'm downtown. Maybe as we weed the Square, Mary Sharp, Lucille Lemmon and I can drop some Captain Crunch near his/her grate. Do you know if he/she likes peanut butter or plain? Keep these shots coming, please. Mary Knight
Mary, Thanks for the kind words! I think dad took some of the photos in that collage, too. The mouse looked hungry, so I'll bet he'd enjoy any cereal you brought by.

On August 3rd the Adair County Boy's Golf Team had a successful performance at their 1st tournament of the 2009 season. The Indians shot a team total of 321 to finish in 4th place in the strong 16 team field at the Dale Hollow Classic. Sophomore Van Giles led the Indians with a score of 76.

He was followed by Madison Brashear 77, Michael Waggener 83, Charles Breeding 85, and Colby Robertson's 88. I am very proud of the team's performance and expects the team to continue improving and to accomplish great things.

Mike Neal says Richard Stephens lucky his dog has moved

Smartest Dog: Mr. Neal cites both David Wells and Doc Rogers to back up claim for Molly Neal Dog as witness for trick qualifying Molly for consideration as smarter dog than Jack Russell Stephens

Ed,

I must express again how much I enjoy your website spending most of my time out our Adair County. I truly appreciate this as I know many others do, I will have to say *Richard is lucky that my dog Molly no longer lives in Columbia, KY. She was the only dog, verified by David Wells and Doc Rogers, himself, who would look both ways before crossing Jamestown Street.

s/Mike Neal

Thanks so much. *"Richard" is known Democrat Richard Stephens, who claims canine intelligence supremacy for Jack Russell Stephens (Dog), whose performance repertoire is almost as big as Lance Burton's and could easily qualify him for a special solo performance at The Dream Depot, were he and Richard not so shy. Molly Neal Dog probably has him beat on street crossing, though, and that's a critical part of survival skills in Downtown Columbia and Jamestown Street.
