Combest Bros. active in East Coast horse racing

Wally Burress writes:
Mr. Waggener, there is a Reed Combest still training at Calder Race Course in south Florida. Just a few days ago he ran a horse with Phil Combest listed as the owner. I remember the Combest brothers being stabled at this same track in the early 80's when we wintered in Florida. Nick Combest won several of the major stakes races on the east coast during his riding career. -Wally Burress

Doesn't want Columbia to be another used to be town

Rita Smith writes:
Thanks Ed for your input. Was well appreciated to finally hear some truth in the matter. Always knew that had a bearing on the problem and as I continue getting up at 4 in the morning to drive 20 miles to work, I just deal with it. We can't have progress in this town if everyone is not willing to work together. Eventually we will be just another little "used to be" town that once was, although it somewhat is now. Do you remember the stores in town like I do? Thanks, Ed, for allowing me to voice my opinion. -Rita Smith

Dr. Roger D. Smith, DMD: Taxpayers are leery of industry recruiters

Roger D. Smith, DMD writes:
Ed--If my memory serves several thousands of dollars (tax-payer dollars) have been spent over the last few years on folks who were hired to be industrial recruiters for Adair County and Columbia.

Perhaps, the general public, i.e. the tax payer, is somewhat leery of a new tax or additional taxes to secure businesses. It would seem sensible that we send a delegation to Edmonton since they are a smaller community and seek their advice on securing factories due to their success over the past few years.

I do believe those folks would charge less. I can only relate what one recruiter told me a few years ago when I sought his input. "I don't have time and I'm not interested in your proposal." Maybe that's the attitude of too many of our leaders! -Roger D. Smith, DMD

Chuck Hinman. IJMA No. 350: On elastic in ladies panties

It's Just Me Again No. 350: Caregiving 101 : On elastic in ladies panties For past Chuck Hinman columns, thumb back through Sundays with CM, reading ColumbiaMagazine.com as a Daily Newspaper.

Caregiving 101 : On elastic in ladies panties

Some of the happiest days of my 50-year marriage to my precious, beautiful wife Connie were, strange as it may sound, after she developed Alzheimer's disease. Therefore, many of the things I write so easily about relate as my role as caregiver -- not as a burden but in fulfillment of my wedding vows... "In sickness and health..." which the Lord helped me to take seriously.

The next earlier Another Angle Some Biblical twins, some 20th century twins, and a birthday appreciation

By The Rev. Joey N. Welsh

Last week I wrote about some biblical twins as well as about Anthony and Peter Shaffer, the English playwright twins. Anthony died in 2001, but Peter is now celebrating his 80th birthday. In honor of that occasion, a new production of his 1964 play, The Royal Hunt of the Sun, is on stage in London. In a interview in the British newspaper, The Guardian, theatre critic Michael Billington recorded some of Shaffer's insights.

Joppa ancestral home of descendants of John & Elizabeth Bryant

Comments re article 44479 Joppa: It means BeautifulBy E.H. Lepiarczyk

I would think that most descendants of John (ca. 1760-ca. 1841) and Elizabeth Bryant (ca. 1766-ca. 1854) would be proud to call beautiful Joppa their ancestral homeland!

The John Bryant family is among Adair County's first families in Adair County history; and particularly the Joppa community. Vincent Pfefferman now owns the former John Bryant farm in the Joppa community. The historic Bryant Cemetery is located on this farm.

Andrew Cowan: Columbia/Adair Co. fears change; it hurts everyone here

Comments re article 44490 Barbara Armitage: Life is choices. Adair Co must choose and live with it

Guest commentary by Andrew Cowan

Here is my 2 cents worth. It might not mean much, but there may be some truth to it....
"Too many citizens of Adair County have made it aboundantly clear that they don't want change."
It is exactly that statement as expressed by Barbara Armitage, which hurts Columbia/Adair Co. We will never get the opportunities that other counties are receiving until we change this attitude.

Poetry by Robert Stone: Breathing, a sonnet

Breathing
-a sonnet for Johnathan Neukomm
My therapist says breathe, deep in, slow out,
and I reply, that is a lot of work
but deep within I truly have no doubt
that breathing is a task I should not shirk.

From breath my first, the signal of my start,
I navigate life's fears and hopes and loves
until my final breath, the end of chart,
beyond all testing handshakes, hugs, or shoves.

Today I contemplate the mundane things
and wonder -- if my heaven came to earth,
would gift of tireless feet or soaring wings
be better choice for self-seen second birth.

Regardless of the things I pant to be,
it's life I live in, not in fantasy.

- Robert Stone, 22 May 2011

Wants to find out more on Combest Bros.

Resident of Combest DR wants more information about once very famous Adair County family, whose legacy justified changing a county road to honor them
Comments re article 44479 Joppa It means Beautiful

Brent Thompson writes:
I live on the old Bloyd farm in Joppa. Our road first was Bloyd RD and then it was changed to Combest DR. I've always wondered where that name came from. Ed, I saw that you mentioned the Combest brothers in your reply and I was just curious to find out a little something about who they were. Now I know where the name came from though. Brent Thompson
Thanks. I thought we'd get more on the Combest Brothers sooner. Maybe your letter will help. One of them very much associated with racing was Nick Combest. His brother was the more famous jockey, I believe; and sort of remember that the brother rode in at least one Kentucky Derby. I remember Reed Combest, another brother, better. He had a Dodge dealership in the 1950's at the Fabulous Four-Way intersection where Holt's Parkway Auto Repair is today, at 1011 Jamestown ST, Columbia, KY. Can never forget seeing an epic automotive advance there - no velcro invention, but impressive - when Reed Combest showed the first three - tone cars in Columbia. Up to that time, mankinds progress had been limited to two tone cars. -EW

JIM: 95 years ago, a windy letter from Rep. Harvey Helm

Jim notes that 'too little can not be said of Rep. Helm's letter. But it was a great time in Columbia, with The Lindsey Wilson graduation, society folks enjoying strawberries and cake, major realignments of Columbia businesses, a famed fisherman being bested by brand new bride, and an amazing story of the long-lived McKinley and son, and other astounding details too numerious to list. CM

Ninety-five years ago: odds 'n' ends from the News, May 24, 1916
By Jim

Commencement goings-on at the Lindsey Wilson Training School and a windy letter from U.S. Representative Harvey Helm of Stanford, KY, adorned much of the front page of this edition of the News. Of the former, suffice it to say that the L.W.T.S. graduates were Miss Virginia Coffey (expression); Miss Carrie Willan (music); and Misses Ruth Hynes and Edna Chewning and Messrs. Marvin Perryman and Edgar Harris (high school). Of Rep. Helm's letter, too little can not be said. Once parsed and excised of bloviation, naught remained of it save the fragments of the headline and a humble handful of words.

How does a city go about finding out when new businesses are looking for a place to put their business?

Who gets involved when a town is being considered?

What makes a town right for a new business to want to locate there?

Inquiring minds want to know. - Maury Lewis
Thanks. Perhaps the most obvious difference is that the people of Marion Co., KY, are willing to pay the upfront costs of securing industry. They have a payroll tax and a huge - by Adair and even Taylor and Russell County standards - economic development budget, and a highly sophisticated business recruiting system. Perhaps there are other reasons those involved with Economic Development can cite. -EW
