Champions: CU Lady Tigers win 1st MSC Tournament since 2004 Whitney Ballinger scores 2,000th point of career Click on headline for full story, stats, history and photo(s) By Chris Megginson / Campbellsville University Sports Information Frankfort, KY - Campbellsville University dominated the final six minutes Sunday, March 6, 2011, to blow past Shawnee State University, 72-58, in Farnham Dudgeon Arena and claim the 2011 Mid-South Conference Women's Basketball Tournament championship. The win is Campbellsville's fourth time to win both the MSC regular season and tournament titles, and first since 2004, ending a two-year run as regular season champ but tournament bridesmaid. CU has won the regular season title 10 times but is the only team to win the tournament as a No. 1 seed, doing so in 1998 and again this year. The win is also historic, as it is the 106th for the CU seniors, making them the winningest senior class in Lady Tiger history at 106-26.

Rev. Joey N. Welsh: A life, a centenary, and some real sacrifice Another Angle, the occasional musings of a Kentucky pastor. a life, a centenary, and some real sacrifice to recall for Lent. First published 12 March 2006, in the Hart County News-Herald The next earlier Another AngleRev. Joey N. Welsh: Anne Frank, a Legacy in Words By Rev. Joey N. Welsh Throughout more than a millennium of Christian history, the idea of "giving up" something for Lent has been a widespread practice of personal discipline and sacrificial devotion, intended to recall Jesus' 40 day fast in the wilderness, as well has his ultimate act of self-giving on the cross. Centuries ago the system of self-denial for Lent (especially giving up meat) was quite formal and compulsory, strictly regulated by church authorities. A few hundred years ago in many European communities even the wealthiest carnivore Christians would not have gone near a piece of meat during Lent for fear that the local priest would find out. (The poor, lowly serfs seldom had much meat anyway, so their temptation was less intense.)

A bait vs. a mess: Geographical nuances of meaning Meanings are owing to where you are at Comments re article 42878. Words: When tGoogle is not enoughMike Watson writes: Growing up in the Inroad-Earls Ridge-Fairplay region of the county, I am most familiar with "bait" being associated with a belt-stretching feed on fish, fowl or meat. "Mess" was generally reserved for greens and the like. This is certainly not meant as a contradiction to the Sacred Triangle definition espoused by cousin, Brother "Jim." -Mike WatsonThanks. Scholarship on the finer meanings of the language is welcome by CM, and I'm sure by Brother "Jim," a learned man hisself, appreciates the ology of linguistics, in talking right. At CM we celebrate these local differences in dialect, especially between such geograpically diverse regions as Ono-Sano-Esto and Earls Ridge/Fairplay. We should all cherish the local distinctions. In the S.T., one could have a bait of anything - greens, pawpaws, squirrel, or RC Cola, but in Earls Ridge-Fairplay one would have a bait of squirrel, a mess of greens, and, a swig of red likker. -EW 2011-03-06 16:58:39 | Comments | Printable version

100 Years Ago: Adair Countians in the Wild West When Adair Countians moved west to settle Texas, Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Iowa, Montana, and New Mexico, after getting Indiana squared away and stocked with sons and daughters of the Commonwealth, it often looked as though there were more of us there than here. This chapter deals with Adair Countians taking over Texas, especially Hill County, where one of our most famous sons, Melvin D. Traylor, got started in the banking business. The Royses in Texas raise another question: Is Royse City, Rockwall County, named for our Royses. Raising another question: If so, why did Jan and Mark Royse name their boy Tyler Royse, for Tyler, Texas, obviously named for its most famous son, Adair Countian Dr. Tyler Baker; instead of naming him Royse City Royse? Those questions will await another day, so much about Adair County is revealed below a discussion of that issue cannot be squeezed in today. -EW By "Jim" From about 1817 or 1818 until the early part of the 20th century, thousands of Adair Countians pulled up stakes and headed west. Many went to Illinois, Missouri, and Texas; a few hardy souls went on to Kansas, Iowa, Montana, and New Mexico and later, to the Indian Territory that became Oklahoma; and a few made it as far west as the Pacific shore.

Answer when restaurants tell us how to eat our food Do restaurants need more rules: Link to story on New York Restaurant Nazis imposing rules on eating their food Robert Stone writes: Many years ago, on some forgotten occasion, I said, "You pay for the meal and I'll eat it the way you want me to. I pay for the meal and I'll eat it the way I want to." Robert StoneWish I'd known that when a sushi chef in Lexington told me I was eating it wrong. He scolded me that the ginger was a palate cleanser, not a topping. Cured a high dollar habit. Made me realize it wasn't the raw tuna, but the pickled ginger I craved in the first place. Save a lot of money after that. -EW 2011-03-06 08:03:58 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Food

Words: When t'Google is not enough I didn't find a word about 'a bait of greens' on the search engine, but resort to a higher authority yielded blessed assurance By Ed Waggener This morning, up at 2amCT to run a checklist on infirmities brought on by significant passages of time, I suspected I had early onset of brain softening when I started the day off with a breakfast of leftover shoulder from Ol' Joe's and became confused over the description of the amount I had. I was writing that I had had a "bait of of leftover shoulder from Ol' Joe's" and then worried if the word police would call my hand on "bait," or "bate." Generally, one can confirm any fool notion on Google. But I could not find the word "bait," so used. Fortunately, I remembered to consult a Higher Authority, "Jim." Here's what he wrote back: As I've stated before, the language of my childhood days in the Sacred Triangle is honey-sweet on my lips and music of a thousand harps to my ears. My goodness, the times I've heard my folks & others of their generation use the expression "bait of greens" and its double first cousin, "bait of sallet". It brought back a lot of memories, it did, along with a pang of pining for the somewhat gentler days of yore.Damned smart wordsman, Jim! By 7amCT, the world was right. I am relieved that brainpower is as stout as set up souse, that the South Central Kentucky tongue is still mumbled as she had ought to be, and that I can look forward to many more healthy baits of pickle dog as the 10593 day countdown commences to begin. -Ed 2011-03-06 07:09:25 | Comments | Printable version

A Brief History of Early Cinema in Columbia, Ky., c. 1903 to late 1922 By "Jim" Copyright February, 2011 (Part 1 of 6) Introduction Between February, 1912 and September, 1922, no fewer than four movie houses opened in Columbia, but only for six months were there ever two in operation at the same time during this period. So inextricably intertwined are the histories of the four theaters it brings to mind the old saw about the hammer found in an antique shop, it allegedly being the very hammer used by President Washington, only the head and the handle having been replaced in the intervening years.

Carol Perkins: The Red Box A sad story with a happy ending. How an innocent Grandmother ruse, a pretend call to McDonald's to ask why the Red Box had given her an empty box instead of the little boy's movie, prompted him to coach her, saying, 'And tell them you have a boy crying, too,' broke her heart, too, and no effort would be too great to get the movie. The next earlier Carol Perkins column: Carol Perkins: Just One More Time By Carol Perkins I am a frequent visitor to the Red Box at McDonalds. Even though I am a subscriber to Netflix, sometimes I want a movie when I want it, and the Red Box rental is only a dollar per movie. The last time my Tennessee grandson came to visit, I rented "Marmaduke." We watched it a few times and I boxed it up and returned it. A few days later, I was dusting the dresser and under the TV was that movie. So what did I return to the Red Box?

T. Wilson helps avert an Adair Co., KY paczki crisis before Fat Tuesday Comments re photo 39132 :Trio from Adair tour Chicago in January 2011 T. Wilson writes: Just thought I'd get this message out before Fat Tuesday - (aka Mardi Gras or Shrove Tuesday, March 8, 2011 -CM) - after seeing the story about the Polish foods enjoyed in Chicago by Sir Erwin Lepiarczyk. The Meijer stores bakeries in Lexington and Louisville are carrying paczki - pronounced "punch-key" - until Fat Tuesday.Thank you. Solves one Polish ethic food problem for Columbians. That's a whole lot closer than a 14 hour drive to West, MacLennan Co., TX, for genuine Czech kolaches. -CM 2011-03-06 05:15:14 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Food
Kenny Davis wants a copy of IJFASN, but he has to come get it Kenny Davis writes: Ed, would you please see if you can get your hands on a copy of Ralph's paper with that article about me. I have to see what my ONE flaw is. I think I know because I believe I could make out the word, work, in the next line down. PS, I thought I worked for you for a lot longer than a week. Thanks. Kenny Davis, LouisianaThanks, Mr. Davis, and we'd get one for you, but rules is rules. I have many copies. While Ralph's paper is free and people read it and then send it to folks all over the country, who in turn send it to others and they to others - we could only guess how many times it's passed on, you'll have to come to Columbia to get yours. That's the rule. It helps our tourism economy which is a big part of why the paper is published.

Food: Do our restaurants need more rules? Mary Keltner sent a link to a New York Times story about a somewhat worrisome trend in New York Restaurants. It's the New York Way. But not so much, as far as we know, the Columbia way. Not until back in the 1950s, when the waitress at the G & M Grill took off her apron and threw it in Grover Gilpin's face, and said the immortal Adair County words of resignation, "I don't have to take this s_ _ _. I quit!" for telling her that if a customer wanted tomato ketchup on apple pie, the customer could have tomato ketchup on his pie, did local restauranteurship lose some prestige, and with it the authority to make people enjoy great food the way it was meant to be, whether they like it or not? Jethro Davidson Harper at the old Circle R gained a measure of respect by occasionally ordering disagreeable customers to leave his restaurant, to take their business elsewhere, but that was usually for something other than the way they ordered their meals. But for the most part, the hospitable nature of Adair County business owners has always been that the customer is always right. It's quite a read, well worth some Sunday time: Have It Your Way?

The next earlier column: Tom Chaney: Davis McCombs in Lexington By Tom Chaney A half-century ago it seemed that all Kentucky life was put on hold for the first three weeks of March. In 1952 tiny Cuba had conquered Kentucky taking basketball fans and the state tournament by storm. In 1953 Caverna, then in only its third year of existence, had become the darling of Memorial Coliseum only to lose in a heart stopping and breaking finale in the semi-final round.
