March 2, 2011: Columbia in red, white & blue



2011-03-02 - Photo by Ed Waggener.
March 2, 2011 in Columbia, Adair Co., KY was another to capture, package, put in a box and sell or into memory and savor. A special slice - maybe of interest to some - framed by the Adair County Judicial Center on the left, and a remaining wall of a burned out business house on the right. Tall pine framed by white Christian crosses and countering Mughai dome; wind furled flags of state and nation. Red brick rising in stacked hillside structures. The very new, the eclectic, the nearly ancient. A tall trinity of pines. Afternoon going into gloaming. Gordon Crump's commitment spinning into mind: One evening soon, I must go back to Lindsey Hill and see the lights again. Hearing again from memory the beautiful chimes that played at dusk. Columbia then. Columbia now. Columbia 100 years ago.

Admirer says Dr. Janice Coffey is compassionate and affordable

Diana Long writes:
I have to agree with Dianne on this one. Dr. Janice Coffey is the best in the area. She is very compassionate and takes the time to treat your pet the way you want them treated. Her services are very affordable; she is there to treat your pet and not soak up the dollars. At most places vet care is outrageous, but not with Dr. Coffey. She doesn't waste your time or money with unnecessary tests or treatment. You can call her at any time, while she is treating your pet and she always takes the time to talk to you. I recently had to have my dog of 12 years put to sleep due to lung cancer. Dr. Coffey was very compassionate and helpful through this heartwrenching ordeal. I highly recommend Janice Coffey for all your animal care. She is very affordable and compassionate. - Diana Long

Motorist has suggestions for bikers

Comments re article 42774. Commentary: A concern for cycling in Adair CountyJanet Hutcheson writes:
I have every respect for the LWC cyclists being on our roadways and agree that people should give them room. My issue comes in with the lay of the land our roads are on. Many times I have driven unsuspecting over a hill to find one or several bike riders right in front of me and had to slam on the brakes. I fully understand that during the races they can't use marker poles but for everyday they should be required to have an orange flag to let motorists know they are getting close to the bikers. I also think it would be smart for them to wear an orange or neon vest like our woodsmen do. I have seen a lot of bike riders in very dull colored clothing on dreary days and they almost disappear. The last thing I would want is to hit one of them so these steps for safety are for my protection as much as theirs. I also urge people to slow down and share the road when they do see the bike riders! -Janet Hutcheson
Thanks for your comment. The answer, I would think, would be lower speed limits on the roads. Bikers on the downside of a hill are usually going faster than 15-20 miles per hour, faster than most farm vehicles. Being prepared for that eventuality should be the motorist's responsibility in all cases, I would think. I don't see any way to transfer responsibility for the bikers', hikers', and farmers safety from the motorists. Speed and not maintaining intervals are failings of motorists, not cyclists. -EW

Problem with Internet Mapping to Schools creates scary situation

Sena Schaeffer writes, again, of need for signage at Dillon and Greensburg Streets to route traffic to Adair County School District Campus. This morning, Mayor Mark D. Harris, reached at his office, said that he would see that proper signage is installed, and checked. Ways to correct problems with Google, Mapquest, Yahoo, TomTom and Garmin mapping are being considered by Judge Melton, Mayor Harris, and Adair County 911 Address Coordinator and others. Just three - of numerous - examples of problems on Google: 1) 500 Public Square, Columbia, KY, gets a pin drop at 500 W Columbia ST, Somerset, KY. 2) 116 Jamestown ST gets pin drop on Russell RD. and 930 Jamestown ST, Joyce's Hallmark, gets a pin drop in the middle of of the overpass at Exit 49 of the Louie B. Nunn Bypass. While the problems with the internet mapping in no way diminish the need to have all venues in the county marked with proper street numbers, errors are a problem for visitors and impede development of the local economy. Better signage is an immediate answer. Particularly to the public school campus, to Lindsey Wilson, to the Lindsey Wilson Sports Park, and to Westlake Regional Hospital. -EW

Guest commentary by Sena Schaeffer

A few months back, I wrote about the problems with people from out of town being directed through Rolling Hills from map sources on the Internet.

A few minutes ago, I witnessed a situation that was rather scary. I was playing with my grandkids in the front yard and saw a semi with a trailer, that was at least 18 feet long (or longer), turning from Dillon Street onto Clinton Street. I watched as the driver had great difficulty turning into Clinton Street.

Link: Comment on what to do about Farm Subsidies

Mary Keltner of Gradyville, KY, sends a link to an interesting piece in the New York Times about Farm Subsidies:

Opinionator: Don't End Farm Subsidies, Fix Them by Mark Bittman at the New York Times website. Link works today, March 2, 2011, but may not in the future

One idea which is sort of there in the article, but not quite - and should be - would be subsidies for gardens for lunchrooms at public schools, greater subsidies for roadside produce marketers, and subsidies for families to have backyard chickens and who grow their own vegetables with maybe a few to sell. -CM

Comment: Proposed budget cuts will impair Conservation efforts

By Wendy Butler Burt

In the U.S. House of Representatives' Proposed Budget for this year, conservation funding got hammered. This proposed budget has now been sent to the Senate for concurrence. Consider writing a letter to your Senators to ask them to protect bird and other wildlife conservation.

I also urge you, if you belong to any form of conservation/hunting/fishing organization to write/email those leaders asking them to comment as well.

100 Years Ago: Dr. Voils visits Adair County

He was Adair and Russell County's best known herb doctor, could out walk his g-g grandsons, but, sadly, did not live to see his 106th birthday

By "Jim"

Dr. William Voils was beyond a doubt the best-known herb doctor of Adair and Russell counties, where he practiced his craft for many a decade. The following tidbit appeared in the March 1, 1911 News:Dr. William Voils, who was one hundred and three years old the 2nd day of January, and who makes his home with his grandson, Mr. J.W. Voils, Russell Springs, is now visiting in the Fairplay country, Adair County.

He is in perfect health and frequently walks eight and ten miles. In passing from Russell County to Adair County some one of his great-great-grandsons start with him, riding behind on a horse. When the halfway station is reached, the boy returns with the horse and old man walks to his destination.


(The good Doctor was born in January, 1808 and crossed the great divide in December, 1913, about a month before his 106th birthday.)"Jim"

Columbia/Adair Co. No. 1 Birdwatching community in KY

No. 1 in Kentucky for third year in a row! Columbia/Adair County is No. 5 in nation, behind four far more populous cities

Columbia/Adair County was again, as in 2010, the No. 1 community in Kentucky for entering checklists in the 2011 Great Backyard Bird Count. Beating out No. 2 Lexington, No. 3 Louisville, No. 4 Richmond, and No. 5 Paducah. For the complete Kentucky list, click to 2011 Results: Localities in Kentucky. Columbia/Adair County has been No. 1 for three years in a row, 2009, 2010, and 2011.

Nationally, Columbia/Adair County dropped three notches, but again to the much larger cities of No. 1 Mentor, OH, No. 2. Charlotte, NC, No. 3 Tallahassee, FL, and No. 4 Bay Shore, NY York.

The Great Backyard Bird Count was conducted February 18-21, 2011, with tally sheets being accepted through March 1, 2011.

For much of the early counting Columbia/Adair County was the No. 1 Birdwatching community in North America.

In all, Columbia observed a total of 24,391 birds and reported over 74 species, with this year, the highest number of reported sightings going to the Sandhill Crane, with 2,610 reported, surpassing last year's top species, the European Starling.

Commentary: A concern for cycling in Adair County

Cycling will be a bigger and bigger part of this community and needs to be embraced. A few scofflaws and road bullies endanger lives, are a threat to economic benefits from cycling

By Ryan Storm

With this past weekend's race a huge success, I would like to bring up a big concern of mine:LWC cycling and the area cyclists have just as much right to be on all of the roads as motorists do. In the past couple weeks, as we have been more prominent on the roads, I have witnessed numerous times people either cussing me or others out for being on the roads.
