Around Adair: Ed's Remembered Glimpses of January 7, 1978 We've posted a number of Ed Waggener's Around Adair columns, and occasionally even added hints of context, but somehow missed one of the very best, which Jim says, "exemplified Ed in his element--as a reporter; as a proud husband and father; as a proudly progressive Columbian and Adair Countian; and as an astute observer of the human condition." Jim has already added some context to the events in this one in earlier columns, but he has outdone himself with the following bit of journalistic scholarship and local history. We saved it for the weekend, so that you can settle in with a fresh cup of your favorite hot beverage, and click the title for not just a full Around Adair, but as complete a story of a very exciting time in Columbia history as we've seen. --Pen By Jim Background: In the general election of 1977, Coy Downey and James Brock won their races for Mayor of Columbia and Adair County Judge-Executive, respectively. Hardly had the polls closed and the winners announced when murmuring surfaced about the possibility of an Unheard of Event--an Inaugural Ball! Just days later--shortly before Thanksgiving--at a meeting of the Executive Inaugural Committee held on the campus of Lindsey Wilson College, Dan Ellis, Lindsey's PR Director, was elected Chair; Sue Stivers, Extension Agent for Adair County, was elected Vice-Chair; and committee assignments were made, to-wit:

Today is Homemade Soup Day in America National Homemade Soup Day is celebrated on February 4th. Soup dates back to before the time humans used modern cooking equipment or techniques. After the discovery of waterproof containers made out of clay, boiling became common and humans started cooking plants and animals. A vital element of their diet was liquid containing chunks of vegetables and/or meat. This is how soup came into existence. The word 'soup' itself originated from the French word 'soupe,' which means broth. This French word, in turn, is derived from the Latin word 'suppa,' which means a piece of soaked bread. In the 18th century, French street vendors started to make and sell high-quality exotic soup dishes called 'restoratifs,' which lead to the birth of the first restaurants. 2024-02-04 08:34:31 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Today

After I told Ed Waggener that Columbia Magazine would soon have more "In Memory Birthdays" than "Happy Birthdays", he said, "that's the idea." 2024-02-04 08:08:34 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Kentucky Color by Billy Joe Fudge
