Billy Joe Fudge: Another voice for slow eating 'We must all slow down just a little, take a deep breath, think before we speak, plan before we act, look before we leap and walk before we run.' -BJF Comments re article 46346 Teresa Kindred Do you know how long your child has to eat By Billy Joe Fudge Ms. Kindred is correct about eating at school. I have experienced the same thing while eating with grandchildren at school but I think the idea of multi-tasking, early achievement, and the standardizing of activities for students and our educational systems from the Atlantic to the Pacific are just the tip of the iceberg that is ripping the hull of our cultural Titanic.

Lifetime Of Work And Success Shared By Kinnairds The Story of Lovie Clark and R.T. Kinnaird is a beautiful story of a lifetime romance, of Amazing Grace, and of the Sulphur Well/Sulphur Well which existed in long ago segregated Kentucky. He became a highly respected Edmonton, KY, businessman; she attended Jackman High in Columbia, KY, and became a school teacher. There had been hurts they never forgot from childhood: "Ordinarily the children didn't mind the long walk to school, they had become accustomed to this. But there were times when the weather was bad their walk would be very unpleasant, especially when it was cold. The school bus for white students also traveled along the same route the Clarks took each day, but at that time blacks were not allowed to ride, so the driver never stopped for them regardless of the weather. "There is no way to keep that from hurting." Lovie commented, "But I never look back. There is no use - that's just the way times were then." She spoke without resentment, simply stating things as they were in her youth." The full story which follows is a classic, one of the best of the treasures that we call "CM Gold." - This article first appeared in issue 25, and was written by Geniece Leftwich Marcum. -EW Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2011-08-21 09:23:28 | Comments | Printable version

Memories of 'Gran' and Sulphur Well's Buelah Villa Hotel A Treasure from what we call CM GOLD. This story is reprinted today to celebrate Sulphur Well, the location, today, of one of America's longest running traditions the Third Sunday in August. The following is the introduction from that article: The place Sulphur Well, Kentucky holds unique memories for people across Kentucky and surrounding states because of the fame for its artesian sulphur "healthy" water well and for its country ham and hospitality at the Buelah Villa Hotel. Don Graeter recently caught himself wondering about it and used the Google search engine for information about the name King Crenshaw. Google matched him up with ColumbiaMagazine.com and our following communications resulted in his sharing of . . . "MEMORIES OF BUELAH VILLA" By Don Graeter August 1955. There in black and white was my grandmother, just as Iremember her, and a smart aleck seven year old making a face. No denyingit, that was me. Fifty years ago. FIFTY YEARS? No denying that either. Mom took thepicture. She would have been thirty five. Now, as I helped her get somethings in order, this treasure had risen to the surface of the "picturedrawer." There were "Gran" and me at the Buelah Villa Hotel in Sulphur Well,standing on the short footbridge from the main hotel to the annex. At thetime, Mom had been furious with me for ruining the picture. KingCrenshaw's assistant, James, had been behind her laughing and exclaiming,"He made the ugliest face I ever saw."

Teresa Kindred: Do you know how long your child has to eat GUEST EDITORIAL: Are part of the eating disorders, bad nutrition caused by giving students too little time to enjoy meals? Teresa Kindred thinks so, and asks parents and grandparents to weigh in on the subject. With obesity a very recent epidemic in America, school systems could become more relevant again by being the solution, not part of the problem, with misguided efficiencies The story fits with our policy endorsing Slow Cities/Slow Eating -EW/for CM By Teresa Bell Kindred Nanahood.com My mother was a notoriously slow eater. Often we would all gulp down our meals and be ready to bolt when she'd lay down the law and say, "You are not leaving this table until everyone is finished!" Everyone meant her and I'm sure my brother and I rolled our eyes and groaned. Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2011-08-21 07:58:34 | Comments | Printable version
Country Store 101: Essential things first Back to basics James Garrison of Garrison Construction Co. gave me this bit of wisdom this week. Commenting on the importance of country stores to community life, he said that one thing those who care about it need to know: They don't have to start out as a Cracker Barrel competitor. All they have to do, he said, is be open regularly, slice sandwiches, have drinks and ice cold milk, and packaged snacks. Then there's a place to gather and exchange news. A place to get a quick lunch. If profits permit, then grow. But don't let the community die because it doesn't have a country store. -CMPS: He's seen it work, in Casey Co., KY 2011-08-21 07:37:34 | Comments | Printable version

JIM: A visitor to Columbia became 1-Person Board of Trade Some communities always have a lasting impact on a visitor. Columbia has seemed to have a singular ability to do so over its two centuries plus history. Whether it is a first time visitor passing the Trabue House on Jamestown Street and saying, as it so often happens, 'That is the most beautiful public building I've ever seen,' on first sighting the Historic Adair County Courthouse, or it's the person who looks out across the Fountain Plaza, zones out, and comments minutes later, 'I could sit here and enjoy this forever,' the town has a way of making one person Boards of Trade & Tourism of total strangers, as happened in this 1921 history jewel discovered by Jim. -CM A 'drive from Columbia to Campbellsville is worth a week's visit to Chicago,' -Wm.
