Writer inquires GOP idea on Dark & Dangerous Intersection Comments re article 47984 Victoria Pike says Not Enough Traffic for intersection lights Charles Marshburn writes: I would like to hear how the Republicans are addressing this calamity! -CHARLES MARSHBURNVery good idea, Mr. Marshburn. What are the Republicans offering? And we haven't heard from Gatewood Galbraith or any of his Shot Callers, either. Tell you the truth, we're not sure who either David Williams or Gatewood have anointed as their Adair County vicars, but, something needs to be did. By this time in most elections some candidate should have at least promised to build the badly needed Eastern Bypass, promised an Adair County Green River State Resort Park, immediate funds for a new elementary school, earmarked $500,000 for preservation of the Adair County Historic Courthouse (similar grants have been made in the last four years) guaranteed the completion of the Heartland Parkway, guaranteed a KCTCC vocational school, or promised to speed up the badly needed (especially for Adair County, US68/Louie B. Nunn Interchange in Edmonton. But not this year. Ah well, it's maybe to0 early. After all, the election is still five days off. -EW. 2011-11-03 07:36:25 | Comments | Printable version
Amazing photo! writer says of pictures Maury E. Lewis sent Comments re photo 42523 Birds of Kentucky MauryBird needs ID ANS American BitterJudy Morrison writes: Oh, Columbia Magazine! Thank you for this amazing photo! Also for the access to the website (All About Birds), where you not only see the birds, you can listen to their songs. A gigantic thank you to all concerning this photo! Check out the All About Birds website. Awesome!!! -JUDY MORRISON.All the thanks goes to an amazingly awesome Adair Countian, Maury E. Lewis and to the for now, Innocent Bystander who took the photos at her request. CM is a charter member of the Maury E. Lewis Fan Club. Just a reminder, too, that the Great Backyard Bird Count is not that far away. It's down the road just past the election, Thanksgiving, Christmas in Columbia, Christmas Day, and New Year's. In 2012, it will be February 17-20. It's time to do a little extra study on Bird ID. As far as can be determined. The MauryBird photo is worthy of an entry in the World Record Book of Guinnesses as a first ever in CM's Birds of Kentucky.-EW 2011-11-03 07:20:03 | Comments | Printable version
A Right Charming Story about a working class dog By Ed Waggener My favorite Marcum by name brother in law, Keith Marcum, Georgetown, IN, is a great story teller, almost the equal of his mother, Geniece Marcum, who retold the tale about a dog's inadequate table manners, which follows. Keith was bird hunting with an uncle and an employee of his uncle's. The dogs had a successful hunt and were hungry. The employee got out some bread and potted meat to feed his dog and methodically began the assembly, while the hungry dog waited impatiently. The man finished slathering the first slice with the potted meat, then laid it on a stump while he opened the bread bag to get a slice to top it.That, we thought, was a charming tale about a truly deserving Dog socio-economic class. It's a genre CM pays too little attention to, instead hyperbolizing the exploits of the elitist intelligentsia of Dogdom, the likes of the controversially partisan Jack Russell Stephens; or Old Raymond, or Richie Janes' fortune creating Border Collie, which, on its own has multiplied the Richie fortune; or Tommy Grider's storebought German Shepherd with more degrees than a college president. It was posted in the interest of being Fair and Balanced. If anybody else has a story of similar nature to share, we're needing at least about four. -CM 2011-11-03 07:08:01 | Comments | Printable version

She's offered to put light up at own expense, but has been told she can't By Victoria Pike We have been told on numerous occasions that we DO NOT have enough traffic out here for the state to put up lights around the interchange.
