The Whitehurst Diaries: Squirrels pantry disturbed Limbing a fallen dead maple, the Whitehurst find that a squirrel's cache of corn had started sprouting Click on headline for story plus photo(s) By Sharon Whitehurst Late in the summer a towering dead maple tree crashed down on the line fence landing at the edge of our cornfield. Jim and Devin have been limbing the tree and cutting the heavy trunk into chunks. Devin called me out to see two sections of limb which had been stuffed with corn kernels, probably by an industrious squirrel. Taking a closer look I realized some of the kernels are sprouting. I have always wondered if the squirrels remember in the cold of winter where they have created these well stocked larders. If that is the case, there will be a creature wandering along the cornfield come January, perplexed by the loss of his cache. -SHARON WHITEHURST 2011-11-07 15:44:34 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Sharon Whitehurst - Whitehurst Diaries

The Contractor can help, IFASN editor says By Ralph Roy Waggener Editor, It's Just for a Smile News The contractor who is rebuilding the steps just off of the Square should pull in His work area. After the construction start up, the room for 4 or 5 parking spaces should be made available for customers. The room for most of there equipment could be placed in the alley way on the other end of this project. Just keep what is needed at the time on the square. This project, when finished, should be a help to these few businesses on this corner. A little planning could have helped a lot, but hindsight is 20-20. I asked a former mayor to look at bricking or laying stone on the steps leading to the square on Campbellsville Street. I was thinking how much the stone wall on Old Greensburg Street at HIgh Street improved the looks there - at a not too high of a cost - which former mayor Pat Bell had done. Little improvements like this really help the looks of our city much like the American flags have done. The building across from City Hall -I think it's a law office, not sure - has shown how an older building can be made to look nice and still be an older building. The green with black trim and the cedar shake covered awning makes for a good Downtown look. -RALPH R. WAGGENER (2011-11-06) 2011-11-07 07:08:40 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Commentary
Where is it now? Harmony's banner for largest Democratic majority Does anyone know where the banner is? And some notes: Harmony no long has any detectable Democratic majority. It has been folded into a new South Columbia-Harmony precinct which has 485 Republicans vs. 283 Democrats. In fact the latest Adair County Voter Registration Statistics, for Fall 2011 indicates that not a single one of the 16 Adair County precincts has a Democratic majority; such is the state since the passing of the greatest Adair County Democratic Party organizer of all times, Bobby W. Loy. -EW By JIM The following appeared in the March 14, 1922 Adair County News in a column titled "Do You Remember?" [Do you remember] When Hon. A.G. Talbot presented Harmony district with a silk flag for giving the largest Democratic majority in the county? It was at the time when they held three-day elections, and there were only three voting precincts in the county. The majority in the Harmony district was over 500. That old flag is doubtless store away somewhere in the county. It had printed on it a large ship with immigrants disembarking in the "Land of the free and the home of the brave." It was at a day when the Know Nothing organization was in existence, and was made a party issue. Does anyone remember what became of that flag or where it is now? The reference to the Know Nothing Party dates the event described herein to the middle of the 19th century. Although the party was organized in 1843, it was most active for few years in the mid-1850s. The Know Nothings were vehemently opposed to the immigration of Germans and Roman Catholics. Brought to the light of day and vast public scrutiny by the industry and dedication of JIM. -CM 2011-11-07 06:49:16 | Comments | Printable version
