Wonders when picture of Northern Water Snake taken About: Northern Water Snake by Pen To ColumbiaMagazine.com I understand that this snake is far, far away from Columbia. That is very comforting. So I actually smiled when I saw this bright picture. But then, several hours later as I was traipsing through the woods on our farm with my two girls, I stopped dead in my tracks. You see, I had convinced myself that by this time, all snakes were in hibernation and we would not have to worry about coming across one of those critters. Our walks had changed from the careful, watch-where-your-foot-is slow steps of the summer to the full-speed-ahead go wherever you want abandonment of knowing there are no critters out to get us. So I have a question that must be answered. When was that picture taken? s/Kelly Crawhorn 2009-11-08 09:43:56 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

John Adair and Gen John Adair to the band room, 230 Gen. John Adair DR From Shamarie Claiborne On the road with the Best Band in the Land The Adair County Marching Band will be returning home from State Competition at around 1pmCT, today, Sunday, November 8, 2009, according to word received at 11:06amCT, today from Shamarie Claiborne. "We're rolling through E-town right now," she said. "Let everybody know that the band will be arriving a little earlier than we thought."The band won the 3A championship at Brandenburg in the semi-finals, topping cross state rival Bourbon County. "We really rocked Papa John's Stadium," Shamarie said. "The band put on a nearly perfect performance." But in the evening, by the slimmest of margins, Bourbon County won the top place in the class, with Adair County second. "We're still high from the show our kids put on," Shamarie said. "and we were so happy that Russell County was a winner, too. We' cheered almost as much for them as we did for Adair. They were wonderful." 2009-11-08 09:23:50 | Comments | Printable version
How We Got Rich in the Country Store Business When a community loses its school, it hurts. When it loses its store, that's a tragedy. One proud, historic Adair County village is thriving, thanks in no small part to the efforts of one family, who wouldn't stand by when they could step in themselves and save the town's store: the heart of life in the little community of Glensfork, which you may know also as Glens Fork, Glenville, or the popular "Village of Hardscratch." The latter may have just grown to be as well known nationally as Rabbit Hash, Rooster Run, or Gravel Switch, KY, or Lum and Abner's Pine Ridge, AR., which started, in the manner of Hardscratch, under another name. It was originally Waters, AR. The effort has been rewarding. Ken, Vickie, and Jake Hill hope their "blueprint for success" is one others will emulate to help preserve and/or revive the other wonderful villages of Adair County, or use to resuscitate Columbia's Downtown By Ken Hill November 3, 2009 Why are all those guys sitting on the front porch of that building? The answer was simple to local Glensfork residents. Their beloved Country Store, meeting place, and social hub was officially closed. Out of habit or some unknown drawing force the men still came. But, the place where many of them grew up, obtained their daily news, developed friendships, and sought shelter from the ever-changing world was no longer welcoming them through the creaky front door. The outside drink machine still dispensed cans of soda, but that too would soon end.

Carol Perkins: Deliver the Letter, The Sooner the Better Remember paper letters which came in envelopes? Carol Perkins does, with a note of sadness for the pleasure reading them still brings. The next earlier Carol Perkins story: The Fortune Teller By Carol Perkins The Edmonton Post Office hasn't always been where it is now, as most aren't. The post office I first remember was in the building on the corner next to the new justice center. It looked quite differently then. It felt sterile like many government buildings do. I may not have this exactly right, but I think the postal workers stood behind arched windows with bars and along the right wall were post office boxes, like today, only they opened by a combination, not a key. Even as a child when I would "run in to get the mail," I often had to "run back out" to the car and refresh the sequence of the combination from my dad or mom because I had forgotten it by the time I walked up to the tiny window.
