Ralph Waggener: Likes Doug Beard's banner idea

About: Doug Beard offers splendid suggestion on an FM 2 murals

By Ralph Waggener

Doug Beard's ideas seem like great ones!

About the building side of the parking lot where the Farmers Market on the Square is now: I talked to CJE Mike Stephens about a year ago about hanging banners on the building. He wanted to do it, but nothing happened at the time.

The Silo at LWC and something on Green River Lake was talked about, as well.

I offered to do the big banners at cost, if he would get the building owner to agree. - Ralph Waggener, Trifecta Printing, 426 Wain Street, Columbia, KY

Ben Arnold offers to pay for paint for the FM2 mural

Ben Arnold writes:
Thanks Maury and George, a great idea to get a mural on that wall. It would promote the Framers market and provide a nice entrance to the Town Square. I paid to have that wall painted years back but we were unable to get a mural. I will pay for the paint, unless the City wants to, if someone can organize and get the artists? --Ben Arnold

Rivermen of the Cumberland, Chapter I/Ten year encore


It's been 10 years since Chris Bennett wrote the epic "Rivermen of the Cumberland. By popular demand, CM is rerunning the serial starting today
Click on headline for story with photos

By Chris Bennett

Chapter I: "Why would anyone want to take a River Trip"?


In the early spring of 2007 I logged on to amazon.com and ordered two items. These two things, a total of thirty-three dollars and sixteen cents, would forever change my life.

The first was a DVD copy of a PBS documentary by filmmaker Ken Burns, "Lewis & Clark - The Journey of the Corps of Discovery" (1997). Everyone should watch this film!

He was organizing large round hay bales made earlier by a friend who needed some help in this hundred-acre field in the Prices Creek region of Adair County, KY.

He shared a bit about Western Adair County near the Metcalfe County line where his family roots run deep.
