Commentary: What can we do?

NOTE: The author of this piece has asked for their name not to be published, but contact information is on file with Columbia Magazine.

I am writing this for a two fold reason. First, I want to thank the county, our magistrate, and the inmates for recently picking up trash along my road. They did a wonderful job and worked in the hot sun picking up the trash of those who have deemed this community as their private dump.

Within 3 days, it was again inundated with trash, and continues to accumulate daily.

Second I want to ask what are we going to do about this? I hear a lot of people talking about how bad it looks across the county, but nothing being done about it. Those who have taken it upon themselves to personally pick up the trash of others around the county are to be commended. They do so because they have something those littering do not have, PRIDE!

To those who are littering, you have no excuse. What you are doing is disrespectful, lazy, and illegal. Do us all a favor, and if you feel the need to throw your filth out the window, wait till you get home, roll down your window, and throw it in your own yard.

I am asking those who love and appreciate the beauty of where we live to come together and come up with a solution. I am asking our county and city officials to make serious efforts to hold those who are littering accountable. And I am asking everyone to Keep Adair Clean!

Creason is new campus minister at Campbellsville University

By Matthew Taylor

Campbellsville, KY - Trent Creason, former director of student activities at Campbellsville University, is the new campus minister at the university.

In 2008, Creason had high ambitions to have a life for Christ saying, after his commencement from Campbellsville University: "At this point in my life, I'm really seeking to follow Christ. I intend to enroll in a seminary in the fall in search of a master's of divinity degree. I hope to one day be using the gifts and talents God has blessed me with to lead others to Christ either here in the United States or throughout the world."

Since then, that mindset has taken Creason to well over 25 mission trips in the United States and 11 additional trips to countries to share Christ's love and opened numerous Christ-centered job opportunities for him through Campbellsville University that have included campus ministries intern, adjunct faculty in theology and English as a Second Language and director of student activities.

Phillip Coffey - Prickling

By Phillip Coffey
Approaching the beautiful red rose ever so closely
Taking in all the fragrance, Ouch ! - prickling my nose.
Shying away from those appearing smelly - ragged clothes.
Those with fine garments, approaching - just short of 'curtsy'.

Minimal of our time with those among us most needy.
Christ in three years of travel- amongst the ever pleading
For cleansing of body, mind and lifting of their 'spirits'.
He refusing 'High Horse'- entering Jerusalem on humbled donkey.
