Carol Perkins: Gift-giving traditions Previous Column: Santa Stories By Carol Perkins One year when our grandchildren were small, the gifts under the tree were piled to the lowest branch and then beyond. I was beyond crazy, but I was not alone and will never be. One of my good friends is a grandmother of two small girls, so for all holidays and other special occasions, she admits going overboard with her gifts. When she racked up fourteen for each this Christmas, she realized (with the reminder from her son) that she needed to back off. She wasn't the only one who bought for the children, so they were often overwhelmed. As long as children are under the age of ten, we can shower them with "things," and they are happy even with the empty boxes. After the age of ten, we don't waste our money. If they don't pick out what they want or make a list, we might as well stand on the sidewalk and pass out ten-dollar bills.

Beshear appoints all new KY Board of Education By Jack Brammer and Valarie Honeycutt Spears, Lexington Herald-Leader Gov. Andy Beshear signed an executive order Tuesday in his first day in office to create a new state school board. He said in the order that the current board has conflicting relationships, a lack of experience in education and did not conduct a nationwide search in 2018 when it hired current commissioner Wayne Lewis. Beshear named David Karem, a former lawmaker and state board member, as temporary chairman of the new board. Shortly after the announcement, 10 of the old board members said they will file a lawsuit Tuesday against Beshear's actions, challenging his attempt to remove them before their terms expire.

Creepy, Crawly, Scaly, and Slimy Critters Program at ACPC By Laura Marcum The Adair County Primary Center recently had several interesting guests. Brad Reynolds from Real Science Programs shared his program entitled "Creepy, Crawly, Scaly, and Slimy Critters". This program compared characteristics, adaptations, and life cycles of vertebrates and invertebrates using live animals. It also examined how scientists group and classify animals based on how closely related and alike various animals are. The kids were amazed with his animals including: a scorpion, hissing cockroaches, Hermit crab, bullfrog, tiger salamander, salamander larva, snapping turtle, box turtle, monitor lizard, boa constrictor, hedgehog, a American alligator head, and a 20 foot long python skin. This event was sponsored by the Family Resource Center.

Automobile license plates 85 years ago By JIM The recent news release about the new format Kentucky license plates available late next year caught my eye, as news of a similar vein had crossed my line of sight earlier that day. A front page article in the Adair County News 85 years ago this week -- mid-December 1934 -- advised readers that vehicular license tags for 1935 were available. The license plates, manufactured by convict labor at the Frankfort Reformatory for the fifth straight year, were yellow with black lettering and of the same dimensions as the ones for 1934. Ewell Moore, supervisor of production, reported the cost at six cents per pair. (Beginning in 1929, both front and rear tags were required.) Mr. Moore also stated that in 1930, the last year of production by a private concern, the cost was nearly triple that amount at seventeen cents per pair. The article went on state that for 1935, the prison plant had turned out 300,000 tags for automobiles, 30,000 for trucks, 1,000 motorcycles, and 1,700 in transit tags.

Letter: Mugshots with arrest articles By BJ HAGY I think Law Enforcement folks are doing a great job and service for the citizens of Adair County. I find it most interesting that we publish when they have a "Drug Bust," and it gets published. Up here in New Hampshire they take it a step further and publish the perpetrator's mugshot along with the arrest article. I'd like to suggest that Law Enforcement and you good folks on Columbia Magazine take it up a notch and publish these local law breakers pictures like we do up here. I think it might help law abiding citizens to be on the lookout and report more drug-related activities they see.
