Wants more information on the Reed Street Depot Peggy Fudge writes: I'm enjoying the history lesson on railroad, or lack thereof, in Adair County. Ed, you made a comment that we once had a depot on Reed Street. I have long believed that Columbia once had a train running through here until a few people corrected me. Sometime in my younger years I learned that there had been a train depot on Reed Street, but more recently I figured I must have either heard it wrong, remembered it wrong, or the real Reed Street depot was actually in another town. Anyway, at some point, I made the logical leap that if there was a depot, there had been a train. So, was there a depot on Reed Street? Where? Was it a hope of 'If you build it, they will come'? Curiouser and Curiouser. Sounds like modern politics, which truth is, in Adair County, hasn't changed at all. - Peggy FudgeComments re article 56488 Mike Watson Railroad attempts in Adair County KY 2012-12-19 10:30:35 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Local History

Morgan's Men: Always Ready, Always There Remembering those who serve: 'As Americans it is so easy get busy in our daily lives and forget that brave men like these brothers are out there fighting for our freedom. These men are in hostile lands courageously performing on a level of that most can't comprehend. Dakota Meyer is an Adair County native son who has shown the often extreme measures these men take in an effort to never leave a fellow soldier behind' - STEPHANIE CALDWELL Click on headline for story with photo(s) By Stephanie Caldwell At the tender age of seven Spc. David Collins knew his destiny. He and his older brother Daniel attended Shepherd Grade School as children. As David and a classmate played in their 1st grade class, a carefully crafted a star shaped badge was made that proudly declared AMY. Seeing the badge David and his childhood cohort had made, his kind teacher politely pointed out that there was indeed an R in ARMY. Thus his destiny was on path to defend this beautiful country of ours. I am sure Amy (who ever she is) was a bit upset. But Uncle Sam was calling, and Spc. Collins answered.

Kentucky Color - Water Tower Anomaly  Click on Map to EnlargeBy Billy Joe Fudge Wildland firefighters don't have the luxury of time to determine what information is important so they have to log in all the information just in case they might need some of it later on. I spent thirty years fighting wildland fires and as an aerial observer had to visually gather information about thousands of fires to relay to crews on the ground. Information about fuel types, flame heights, wind direction, wind speed, topography, local features, people in harms way, smoke, etc. etc. etc. The list goes on and on. So I've said all that to say this. After spending a lifetime noticing things that could make the difference as to whether or not I or others were able to go home to their families at the end of the day, I just can't seem to stop noticing things. Although the things I notice may not carry the degree of importance that they used to carry, I keep catalogin'm in anyway. Well just in case you ever need to know, look what happens when you draw a line through the Lindsey Wilson and Bomar Heights Water Towers. When you follow that line on to the Southwest it intersects to within a few feet the Wal-mart and Sparksville Water Towers. Hmmm... - Billy Joe Fudge 2012-12-19 04:53:03 | Comments | Printable version
