Armistice Day, 1930 By JIM "We can think of that day twelve years ago, it had been thoroughly demonstrated that our country had not lost its soul as the result of its prosperity. It was shown that our people could rise to a great emergency, could cooperate with a great movement for the protection of liberty and justice. . .We can be proud of these memories. . ." (From "Armistice Day," an opinion piece in the Adair County News, November 11, 1930, page one, top center.) On the afternoon of November 11, 1930, a crowd of several hundred people gathered on the public square in Columbia for a momentous occasion, the long delayed and much anticipated dedication of "a handsome bronze tablet... honoring the Adair County boys who were killed or died during the World War." American Legion Post #99 had charge of the program, with Rollin Cundiff as Master of Ceremonies. Luminary Judge James Garnett, Director of the Bank of Columbia, "made an excellent address, presenting the Memorial tablet and dedicating it to the memory of Adair County's heroes." Richard Paull Hill, then seven years old, unveiled the plaque affixed to an exterior wall of the Bank of Columbia, and Ralph Hurt made a gracious speech of acceptance on behalf of the Legion. The ceremony ended with well-known King Crenshaw singing "Tenting Tonight on the Old Campground," a song from the Civil War era, and then "the public square rang with the stirring strains of the 'Star-Spangled Banner' sung by the entire gathering" before the crowd began dispersing.

Kentucky motorists reminded to buckle up for holidays By Erin G. Eggen Frankfort, KY - As we enter the holiday season, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet's (KYTC) Office of Highway Safety is joining law enforcement around the Commonwealth for the annual Click It or Ticket campaign.

CPD: Columbia man charged with wanton endangerment By Officer Adam Cravens, PIO Columbia Police Department The Columbia Police Department have charged a man with multiple felonies after receiving an "attempt to locate" call earlier in the evening on November 10, 2020. The initial call was brought into KSP Post 15 concerning an 18 month old, said to be with her father, who would not return the child and was possibly under the influence. First believed to be headed in the vicinity of South 61 and 768, the party was located by family members around Goodwill off Dohoney Trace. As family members called in to report that they had located the male subject and the child, the subject, according to witnesses, brandished a knife and drove behind Goodwill before fleeing on foot behind Whayne's Supply Store. The child was left in the vehicle. The subject was soon located and apprehended as he was attempting to hide in brush along a fence row.
