Reader says Popcorn King has to be Rodney L. Thompson, Sr. To the editor, ColumbiaMagazine.com: Even though I am not acquanted with Jerry Marshall, I stand tall and feel I was the "Popcorn King" of Adair County, at least in the 50"s. While Robert Flowers and Jerry Marshall stand tall in this catagory, they were after me. How can I not be the "Popcorn King" when the popcorn I sold, or gave away, brought me a new 1958 Ford. - Rodney L Thompson, SrComments above re: Straight talk from Jerry Marshall: Setting the records straight 2012-08-04 20:24:36 | Comments | Printable version
Mary's House: Mini update - $106 more added Saturday morning Mary's House: Total Saturday, August 4, 2012, climbs to $33,399. by mid-day A number of churches plan special offerings Sunday, August 5, 2012. Thanks to an innovative idea from Matt Baker at the Flatwoods Diner, 6970 Burkesville Road, Columbia, KY, $106 was added to the Mary's House fund in just 4 hours this morning! Mr. Baker started a donations jar at the store, to make it easier for his customers to help our cause. He asked us to take what had been raised this morning, just to let everyone know that more people are helping us meet our goal. The donations jar will be available until we are at $40,000, he said. We haven't heard if any other stores in the county have accepted his challenge to follow suit, but wouldn't it be great if contributions were to be matched to cut days off the time needed to get the project underway.Latest numbers for Mary's House as of Saturday, August 4, at 12pmCT:

Straight talk from Janice Reed: Setting the Seigert saga Straight He was not endured at Hasenours, after all. He did his stolling in the Empire Room at the Executive Inn, former sufferer recalls. Janice Reed writes: Just to keep details correct. Kurt Seigert did Not stroll his strings at Hasenours. He was at the Executive Inn - In the Empire Room, at Phillips Lane and Watterson X-Way, at the Fairgrounds. I know, I had to listen to it for 5 years, when I worked there. - Janice ReedComments re article 53519 Epicurean Kentuckian Farmers Market provides entire supper 2012-08-04 14:26:42 | Comments | Printable version
Straight talk from Jerry Marshall: Setting the records straight How it really was. The last word: Wherein Jerry Marshall addresses and clearifies most of the major issues facing ColumbiaMagazine readers at this point in time, August 4, 2012: 1) The Odd Couple issue which has polarized - split right down the middle - our readership; with Bro. Dave Rosenbaum making up one half of our readers, everybody else the other half, and the third half still bewildered until Lewis Williams speaks. 2) The Real Record Holder in the Popcorn Business - and it's not Robert Flowers (NOR Rodney Thompson for that matter). And The pivotal role Vernon and Bobby Bowe played in turning the writer's life around - in this tell all miniography of Life of Marshall, by Jerry Marshall. AND more. -CM Comments re photo 46164 Favorite Old Poster Columbian Theatre Calendar 1969 By Jerry Marshall That was the Odd Couple movie, which came out in 1968. New release movies were not made available to small town theatres at that time. That is why we didn't get it til 1969. Also, for the record, I spent many an hour at the Columbian as well. I would challenge that I popped more popcorn than Robert Flowers ever did. I was trained by Vernon and Bobby Bowe to run the projectors behind my Daddy's back in hopes of surprising him with my new talent some day. And that day did arrive when One of the projectionists was ill - on a Sunday - and I stepped in. Dad only had to help me once during the film. While Mikki was trained to sell tickets, I was trained to pop and sell popcorn, run the ice cream bar, take up tickets (not much to that one) and because of some misguided judgment at school school, spent time developing my cleaning skills. Just wanted to set the record straight, Ed. - Jerry Marshall Thanks! Jerry Marshall: There is no greater pleasure for an humble internet editor than to have an issue posed, an issue discussed with civil discourse, and issue laid to rest authoritatively as you have done. When Dean Quinn steered up a hornet's nest - inadvertently; he is not a known troublemaker. It's a relief to get all the answers in one neat, concise but comprehensive clarification, as you have done so magnificently. So that settles that. -ED 2012-08-04 14:16:22 | Comments | Printable version
Mary's House: God's amazing grace is at work in our community Total now at $33,393.00 !!! At 12:05pmCT, Friday, August 3, 2012, Fran Neat reports that an as yet anonymous donor has just given Debbie White a $300 check for Mary's House.
By Fran Neat God's amazing grace is at work in our community. You have told me over and over how much you desire to help Mary's family, and you are! We all can recall when times were hard. I remember once when my husband, Don, and I were attending Campbellsville College and living at 104 Floyd Street in Campbellsville. Money was very slim to say the least. I can clearly remember and now can just see my parents, "Blue" and Ina Humphress, coming through the backdoor carrying a bag of groceries, a carton of drinks, and handing us a $20 bill (which was a lot of money in 1970.) It is because of these experiences that we can identify with the needs of others. Right here, right now, we are to be the hands and feet of Jesus and extend agape love to Mary and her children. May each of you be truly blessed in your giving. - FRAN NEAT.

The Odd Couple: According to the internet Dean Quinn writes: Ed, According to the internet, The Odd Couple movie came out in 1968. Maybe it took a year or two to get to Columbia. Dean --Dean QuinnDean, thanks. You are probably right. And the internet may be right. But we are waiting to hear what the ultimate movie authority in Adair County, Lewis Williams says. This Rosenbaum will be a very stubborn man to convince. He doesn't stray from his his principles, and it looks like he's dug in his heels. I fear it will take pastoral influence to change his mind, not sure but that facts wouldn't just prove confusing for him. - ED 2012-08-04 10:25:08 | Comments | Printable version

Epicurean Kentuckian: Farmers Market provides entire supper No picture, but imagine an Adair County supper with colors more vivid than the prettiest Thai dish, with the main entree Purple Hull peas, and you have the enviable repast of the proudest gentry in beautiful Joppa, KY. Pipe in the Columbia Baptist Church evening chimes and the old Hasenour's on Barrett Avenue with Kurt Seigert and the Strolling Strings couldn't have provided a more royal dinner. MElewi writes: For supper tonight, Friday, August 3, I had purple hull peas, okra, tomato and onion salad, the prettiest lavender colored mash potatoes made from purple potatoes and lemon bread for dessert. All from the Adair County Farmers Market. Thanks to all our local farmers for your great produce. melewi --MElewiMElewis, thanks. Wish I had had that. I think it may be safe to say at this point that Adair County, KY, is now the "Purple Hull Capital of Kentucky." and that the Southernization of local cuisine is now an unstoppable trend, thanks to you and your accomplice(s), That Woman, et al. Congratulations. -EW The Adair County Farmers Market, at the Adair County Extension Office, 409 Fairground Street, Columbia, KY, is held on Tuesdays 6am-10amCT and 3pm-6pmCT; on Fridays 6am-10amCT, and on Saturday mornings, 7am-11amCT. 2012-08-04 04:40:08 | Comments | Printable version

BJF: No one here has to shoulder the load alone By Billy Joe Fudge What an amazing act of Christian love the folks of Cane Valley Christian Church are exemplifying with Mary's House.
