Father's Day tribute to former Columbia Mayor Bell from son Rob "Happy Father's Day to all of the great dads and father figures who have protected us, inspired us and helped us to grow. My sister and I are so incredibly grateful to have grown up in a household, where love was the the foundation." - RC Click on headline for complete story By Rob Collins Rob Collins in the Morning, Q 104.1 FM During the past few weeks, Dad and I have talked bout some of our favorite memories. From moving to the [Adair County] farm in 1974 and transitioning from that experience in 1992. During those years, I can honestly say that everything I value in life, came about from those years. My love of outdoors, great writers and music flourished in that environment. I have such warm memories of taking long walks with him through the woods. He would often quiz me on the genus species of trees and flowers, tell me about the importance of protecting and respecting wildlife.

Joyce M. Coomer offers personal comments on Dumpster Diving Writer offers benefits of Dumpster Diving but only if treasure seekers follow certain rules. She says "There are people who will open every sack in a dumpster and dig through it like a hen scratching for worms. They can and do make an unbelievable mess. They should make sure anything they fling out of the dumpster that they don't want should be put back into the dumpster." Click on headline for complete personal commentary By Joyce M. Coomer I frequently opine that someone could run a good junk store with items removed from dumpsters in this town. More often than you'd think, many still-useful items are callously tossed into a dumpster, without any regard to their condition nor whether or not someone else could utilize the items, maybe even really need the items.

Cynthia A. Meyer - Comments on Mystery ID 79324 orange fungi She wonders if it might be "Chicken of the Woods," edible under specific conditions, as is "Hen of the Woods," under specific conditions, a highly prized mushroom which should be gathered only by mushroom experts. Readers are advised that a mistake in identifying mushrooms can be fatal if consumed. The information is posted to raise awareness of mushrooms and hope that one day there will be enough mushroom expertise right here to know the difference, and that maybe, one day mushroom culture and mushroom harvesting in the wild might offer business opportunities here. - CM. Click on headline for complete essay By Cynthia A Meyer Without a close up of the mushrooms it would be difficult to identify, however there is a tasty little morsel of fungi named "Chicken of the Woods" which not surprisingly is supposed to taste like chicken. I have seen one other Chicken of the Woods several years ago, but wrongly assumed since it was so brightly colored it may poisonous... It was not until recently when my son brought in a sister mushroom- "Hen of the Woods" - which looks more like a fluffy hen that I realize what a culinary morsel I passed by back then. - Cynthia A.

Todd Robertson: Real issue is people searching through businesses' trash Suggests what is generally referred to as 'dumpster diving' a big problem Comments re photo 79325 Neighbors are tired of picking up overflow trash Todd Robertson writes: I think the real issue at hand is people searching through the business's trash receptacles at night. As a business owner we have been dealing with this for a while now. I have also spoken to other business owners across town that are having the same issues. Individuals are coming at night and opening all of the trash bags and they are leaving a huge mess every night.Todd, thanks - That element of dumpster diving is an important one, and I'll be the first to agree with you that something needs changing. Hope everyone will have an open view on it. There are places in the world where this isn't a problem. It won't be in the City of Columbia when fiscal court adopts a better system - while stricter policing and heavier penalties might work - this doesn't seem to be a wise use of city or law enforcement resources. The solution may be much simpler, cheaper, and more effective if ordinances are changed - replacing those which don't work with newer simpler one which are efficient, effective, and relative to what we are doing much, much, much cheaper - EW 2018-06-17 12:42:37 | Comments | Printable version

JIM: One hundred years ago, mid-June, 1918 World War I was raging in Europe, and Green County native George M. Walford was reported to have landed in France. On the home front: Horace Walker was engaged in a painting project at the corner of Greensburg Street & the Public Square.. Hucksters were given stern warnings on handling eggs (self-proctored quiz with this item). Sugar rationing rules were explained. There were New dog laws, an oil boom, and Chief Red Fox appeared in person at Paramount Theater. On the cultural and enlightenment front, both the Lindsey Wilson in Columbia and Russell Creek Academy in Campbellsville had new principals and fund-raising drives. And the war hit home and everyday life, as international policies took away a wonderful business service - likely due to a labor shortage, Jim surmises. Click on headline for complete column. By JIM In mid-June, 1918, the conflict in Europe raged on as it had for nearly four years. Already, a number of Adair Countians had fallen and more would die or suffer grievous wounds before the weapons of war fell silent five months later. Other than the handful of mentions below, little about the war appeared on the front page of the June 19th edition of the News, but no doubt a number of other items caught the collective eye of the readers that long ago late spring.

G. Kolbenschlag on unnecessary and expensive pesticides Personal commenary: "Some (but few) of the pesticides are necessary tradeoffs, but . . . " George Kolbenschlag writes: I agree wholeheartedly with Ed W. and Charles M. (and, of course, Joyce C.) Let's do away with all of the unnecessary and expensive pesticides. Some, (but few) of the pesticides are an acceptable trade-off, but drenching the roadways with the stuff is not wise. Poisoning our soil is damaging to humans, animals and the bio-environment at large. --George KolbenschlagComments re article 97929 Reader laments that the environment may have been just a fad 2018-06-17 01:55:39 | Comments | Printable version
