Sheriff's Cruiser Hydroplaned on slick Holmes Bend Road Click on headline for story with photo(s) by George Rice By Ed Waggener Sheriff Harrison Moss said that the ACSO Cruiser involved in the mishap Sunday afternoon, October 6, 2013, on Holmes Bend Road in Adair County, hit a patch of water, hydroplaned, and the driver, Lake Patrol Deputy Josh Durbin, lost control and hit a utility pole. Fortunately, he said, Deputy Durbin sustained only a minor scratch. "It was a combination of very days of dry, hot weather which let oil ooze to the top of the road, which made for a very slick surface with all the rain we had just before the accident." The cruiser, he said, is nearly ready to retire, anyway. "It's a seven years old and has 160,000 miles on it," he said. Kentucky State Police Post 15 Trooper Justin Phillips investigated the incident. 2013-10-07 10:05:43 | Comments | Printable version

Comment: Columbia/Adair Co. much better community than most 'All communities face difficult issues, it is how those issues are resolved that make your area a much better place to live than many other parts of our state.' - ED HEUSTIS By Ed Heustis I am not a member of your community although I read your paper daily. I have observed that in many communities people would much rather gripe than get involved. If they get involved they have to do something other than sit at home and complain. I have been in your community many times and Columbia/Adair County is so much better than most others. All communities face difficult issues, it is how those issues are resolved that make your area a much better place to live than many other parts of our state. - Ed Heustis Thanks - What a wonderful comment. Thanks so much. I've always found that, in private, most people agree on so many goals, and when they actually realize that, public discourse becomes much more civil and productive. - Ed Waggener 2013-10-07 08:53:44 | Comments | Printable version
Robotics links: MIT's amazing transforming robot See Also: Wikipedia entry/Robot with possibly more than most would ever want to know about Robots. Here's a robot we've all been waiting for: Surprisingly simple scheme for self-assembling robots in MIT news. This one is for folks who'd like one robot who can multitask - make itself into a Mountain Feist to sic onto a groundhog, fly as your personal drone to spy on enemies, or say, "Robot, make the coffee," and it transforms into the butler you've always wanted. But other robot choices are on the way. Boston Dynamics has a four legged one which runs, leaps and gallops. It's their "Wildcat." Since CM probably won't be able to buy a whole lot of robots, we'll probably pass on the Wildcat and go for the multi-tasking MIT self assembling one. Still, we'd love to have a pet "Boston Robotics Wildcat. Boston Robotics Wildcat YouTube Video - ED WAGGENER 2013-10-07 08:18:16 | Comments | Printable version

A little lesson learned from the Garnett House Its trusses were of wood which resisted termites Click on headline for item with photo(s) An observer told us that those trusses showing in the photo of the Garnett House were built from old-growth hardwood trees that were much more disease and insect resistant than any wood found today. The writer said that when a house in her family was inspected for termites, the exterminator said 'This wood's too hard...termites can't bore through it!" And the Garnett house was built about 45 years before that one! 2013-10-07 06:23:51 | Comments | Printable version

A CM response to critics of the court, hospital leadership Now's the time to close ranks behind the Westlake leadership CM Editorial Response to Jon Halsey comments on hospital tax By Ed Waggener The present leadership of both the Fiscal Court and the present hospital board have led us out of a morass not of their own creation. It's not time for a blame game, but the tax is almost triple what it would have been without the success of the recall petition (though, ironically, the recall petition's success may have, itself saved the hospital at that time.) The current hospital board could have, under the agreed order, imposed a much higher tax, but chose not to do so. Some will continue to disagree, as is their right, but we believe they are wrong. Adair County CJE Ann Melton and on this issue, the Adair Fiscal Court, Harold Burton, Daryl Flatt, Sammy Baker, Perry Reeder, Billy Dean Coffey, Joe Rogers, and Billy Rowe, and the current hospital board, Bruce White, Craig Pyles, Richard Grant, Neal Gold, and Brad Keltner have saved Westlake Regional Hospital and now is the time to close ranks behind Westlake Regional Hospital, as we believe the vast majority already have done. They are back. -ED WAGGENER 2013-10-07 03:58:24 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Commentary
