In 1908, Columbia faced a crossroads, and chose wisely "If you have plenty of money and no children, count it a God given privilege to help bear the burdens of others." -Elder Z.T. Williams By "Jim" In the fall of 1908, voters in the Columbia school district faced a distinct choice in a late November special election: they could vote in favor of a graded school (and by extension, a state-mandated high school open to all Adair Countians) and the resulting increase in school tax, or they could vote to reject the measure out-of-hand. The debate raged in Columbia from early summer until the election, with passion and persuasion flowing from both sides of the issue. In the forepart of July 1908, then-retired Judge Herschel Clay Baker penned a letter to the News in which he supported the measure, a letter which he concluded by stating: "The alternative is before us. Which shall it be? I am a tax payer and have no children to educate, but it seems to me our duty is plain."In another letter which appeared in the News 101 years ago yesterday, (November 18th), Eld. Z.T. Williams, a former businessman and educator who by then was the much-beloved minister of the Columbia Christian Church, eloquently echoed Judge Baker's sentiment in this gentle admonition: "Let every citizen consider well what the present opportunity means to the future upbuilding of the town. If we would keep apace with our neighboring towns, and with the demand for a higher and more universal education of the future generations, we must avail ourselves of these modern and better advantages. Don't vote against the measure because of the little money it may cost you. We can not have advancement on any line without money. If you have plenty of money and no children, count it a God given privilege to help bear the burdens of others. 'Bear ye one another's burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ.'' (The quotation Eld. Williams used comes from Galatians6:2.)The last edition of the News before the election stated that "in our judgment the race will be very close" -- and close it was. The vote tally wasn't reported; rather, the News simply stated that despite inclement weather, "a good vote was polled for and against the Graded School proposition...[and] the district is now committed to the proposition by twenty-seven majority" 27 voters who laid the foundation of the modern public education system in Adair County. 2009-11-19 10:41:53 | Comments | Printable version

Commends Columbia Womans Club endorsement About: Columbia Woman's Club supports new building for CWC To ColumbiaMagazine.com: My hat is off this morning to the Columbia Woman's Club and the Citizens of Adair County who support the advancement of education in Adair County. Now there's only one thing remaining and that is to vote on December 15, 2009. s/Terry Partin It isn't unexpected from an organization which has always provided such leadership for Adair County. At times like these, it is encouraging to see respected Adair Countians speak out. In the past, such courage has often served us well, just as your own courage in writing this letter will embolden others who may have been too timid to stand up and speak out. -EW 2009-11-19 08:37:10 | Comments | Printable version
Frankfort/Fairplay reader sees hope after disappointment in CM About: BRBB Four bears spotted this past week in Adair Co KY To ColumbiaMagazine.com Great bear sightings story. I have been somewhat disappointed by the lack of Bear Board reporting. Perhaps Mr. Fudge will re-energize the organization. You just can't hardly get coverage of bears and chicken hawks anywhere but on CM. Keep up the good work. s/Dave Rosenbaum Thanks Bro. Dave. The criticism of CM is well taken. We do promise to do better. Mr. Fudge is showing the kind of leadership that Dean Gary Coomer and I find refreshing. Dean Johnny Vaughn of the Adair Assimilation Academy (AAAcad) has commented that not only is Young Fudge a very knowlegeable boy, he is strictly honest, a strict requirement for BRBB membership, too, albeit a little naive when it comes to playing around with 35 pound bobcats.

The 2009 Deer Hunt: Casey Co. moves ahead of Adair Embarrassing statistics, the Seven County 2009 Deer Hunt standings moved to jump today Click on headline for full story, sad standings (for Adair County hunters) and picture of on of those Luttrells who are getting so many deer up in Dunnville Click here for 2009 Deer Hunt photo album By Ed Waggener Adair County is, embarassingly, now in third place among the Seven Counties on the 2009 deer hunt. It is probably because of Frances Salyer's kinfolks, her perfect dad, Lloyd Wilson of Liberty, and the Luttrell family of Dunnville in Casey County, who seem to be getting a deer or more a day over there. It could be that Ryan Beard, the great deerslayer who lives in Adair County and teaches in Casey is the reason. Maybe just his influence, the aura of his hunting exploits, inspires hunters of all ages to reach new heights.
