Checkers are a new game at ACES Checkerboards have been replaced with computers for many, but at Adair County Elementary School, a visit to the playground will find that kids still enjoy simple things, playing checkers the way it was traditionally played in this country Click on headline for story with photo(s) By Debbie Cowan A familiar image of times forgotten and left behind is that of folks gathered around a makeshift checkerboard at the country store. Many friends were made and problems solved over an impromptu game of checkers.

More to Col. Casey legacy: Wife Jane deserves remembrance Jane and William Casey were the great grandparents of Mark Twain By Vonnie Kolbenschlag I appreciated Ken Hill's thoughts as well as the background of Col. Wm Casey. But, I would like to add that William's wife, Jane Montgomery Casey, had a big part in the early history of this county and I think it is only right to give her credit also. She helped defend Montgomery Station when she was young and some of her family members were killed. Then she married Casey and settled at Logan's Fort where she gave birth to five children and then trudged through the wilderness to help establish Casey's first station (off what is now KY 551 in Adair County) and finally the house that still exists on West 80/Edmonton Road, Columbia, KY.

What's In A Name? Colonel William Casey Elementary School 'Let's embrace our history and let the new school be a new Colonel William Casey Elementary School!' Ken Hill writes. It should be a foregone conclusion, but the Adair County School Board hasn't yet designated a new name. Ken Hill bases his recommendation on Col. Casey's place in history. Reason enough. But he'll likely find support from even more to continue the name based simply on the grit shown by Colonel William Casey Elementary's teachers, principals and staff to overcome extreme adversity and continue their dedication to the children despite the handicap of antiquated facilities. Continuing the name would be tremendous validation of their exemplary perserverance and character, as well as a reason enough: The historical significance of the great icon of Adair County History, Col. Wm Casey, the man By Ken Hill Editorial commentary Having not grown up in the Adair County area, I often wondered who Colonel William Casey was. I knew it was the name of a great school, but I didn't know the origin. With the area's rich Civil War history, I assumed Casey was of that era. I asked a couple of folks over the years, and learned nothing. Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2012-09-13 05:04:24 | Comments | Printable version
