Large crowd turns out to view fireworks



2010-07-04 - Lindsey Wilson College, Columbia, KY - Photo by Pen. The view from Lindsey Hill
The July 4th Celebration, with music and fireworks, was spectacular and appeared to be a record breaker. The official crowd estimate from the Columbia Police Department has not yet been received, but it is believed more people watched this event than any previous one. Vantage points, from parking lots to lawns to hilltops were packed for the 30 minute show. Many made elaborate plans for the event, with tailgate parties and impromptu seating arrangements.

One Hundred (m/l) Years Ago -
An old tragedy re-called: 1841 Burk murders


By "Jim"

The following account appeared in the October 1, 1902 Adair County News. The author, Patrick Henry (P.H.) Bridgewater was a frequent contributor to the News. In 1841, when the Burk tragedy occurred, P.H. was a lad of only seven sumers. Perry Hancock was in his mid-twenties; his brother Oliver was a year or two past the age of majority. ("Uncle" Perry passed from this vale of tears in the summer of 1906 "in his ninety-second year.") And, in 1841, Zach Wheat, later Judge Wheat, was about 35 years old.

Be advised that part of this article is quite graphic.

Chuck Hinman, IJMA 033: Cherry Canning

His family didn't have an orchard. But cherries from a you-pick farm nearby provided thousands of cherries - thousands to be meticulously pitted by small hands
The next earlier Chuck Hinman story What I Miss Most Is Chuck Hinman your favorite Sunday with CM columnist, as many tell us? If so, we hope you'll drop him a line by email. Reader comments to CM are appreciated, as are emails directly to Mr. Hinman at: charles.hinman@sbcglobal.net

By Chuck Hinman

When I was growing up in the 1920's and 30's, we always had a large garden but we didn't have an orchard as some did. The only fruit tree we had and most people considered it as a "nothing tree" - a mulberry tree. About all it was good for was for the birds to stuff on its fruit and make a terrible stain on everything, including the laundry drying on the nearby clothes line.

Rev. Joey N. Welsh: Proclaim Liberty

Proclaim Liberty throughout all the land

People these days are familiar with many passages from the Old Testament books of Genesis and Exodus, but few 21st century Christians hear much about the book that comes next, Leviticus. Though it contains a scant few narrative stories, Leviticus primarily relates the detailed practices to be overseen by the Levites -- members of the tribe of Levi -- and the priests of the ancient Hebrews. To say that this section of Old Testament law is detailed is a major understatement. The book describes a holiness code, a religious reaction or practice in reply to nearly every conceivable aspect of ancient life.

A Kindred Spirit: Blood, sweat, and tears of sacrifice

by Teresa Bell Kindred
Nanahood

A few years ago we visited Washington, D. C. for the first time. We took a trolley tour at dusk to view the monuments. The night air was chilly, but standing in front of the Lincoln Memorial - literally at Abe's feet - was awe-inspiring. Walking along the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and touching the names with my fingertips brought tears to my eyes. Seeing Franklin D. Roosevelt in his wheelchair reminded me that the word "handicap" should only apply to golfers. Visiting Mount Vernon and strolling on the estate where our very first president, George Washington, once lived was a humbling experience.
