ADAIR Band Some things stay the same 2013-08-06 - ACMS, 322 Gen. John Adair Drive, Columbia, KY - Photo by Shamarie Claiborne, Adair Co. School District photo. There are so many wonderful changes taking place on the Adair County School System Campus yet among all the change - some things remain the same! For decades the ADAIR Drumline has practiced under this amazing tree. It is a familiar sight that anyone who has ever been on campus during marching season has witnessed but this year it has more meaning. It shows that even though things change....tradition will continue to be the glue that holds us together. The 2013 ADAIR Drumline, from left: Harrison Knifley, Grant Cockerham, Travis Hale, Jax Kemp, Josh Grant, Kyle Castaneda, Chad Scholl, Dusty Claiborne, and Austin Wolford. - Shamarie Claiborne Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Epicurean Kentuckian: Hoppin' John 2013-08-06 - Photo by Pen. Black eyed peas and corn, with some cilantro and fresh tomato and onion for garnish. This is a variation on the old Frankie Adams' favorite dish she described in A Member of the Wedding by Carson McCullers. Frankie - later F. Jasmine Adams, the Frances J. Adams - says if they ever find her appearing lifeless they can pass a dish of Hoppin' John under her nose and if she does rise up immediately, they can go ahead and bury her. She's for sure dead.

Why CM uses time zones in Events 2013-08-06 - 17165 Liberty Road, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Folks in The Jackson Purchase of Texarkana may never have to think about what time zone they are in, but here in the border counties of Kentucky, we do. That's by almost all times listed in Events carry CT/ET times so minds can be put to much better use than forever mentally calculating what time zone applies; whether Taylor County is in the Eastern time zone, as it is, or wondering why, Taylor County being west of Clinton in the Central Time zone, it is where it is. In the Village of Pellyton they use "Fast Time" and "Slow Time" to designate. There, with the the Eastern Time zone just minutes away on northeast bound roads, time is a big concern. Though traveling southwest, they go 1,444 miles to El Paso and still be in the Central Time zone. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Columbia City Council, August 5, 2013 regular session 2013-08-06 - City Hall, 116 Campbellsville Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Studying documents during last night's City Council, Clockwise from left were Councillors Dr. Ronald P. Rogers, Charles Grimsley, and June Parson; City Clerk Sonya Biggs, Mayor Mark D. Harris, and Councillors Craig Dean, Linda Waggener and Robert Flowers. City Attorney Marshall Loy was out of town and could not attend. Biggest news came from Dr. Ronald P. Rogers, who announced the possibility of joint funding for much needed sidewalks from Lindsey Wilson to the Jamestown Street and Russell Road areas. Lindsey Wilson would fund half the cost, he said. The issue of improvements in pedestrian safety have been a passion for Dr. Rogers and Linda Waggener. Dr. Rogers' counterpoint, Robert Flowers reminded the council of its most pressing issue, the need to address the imbalance in the city budget, but did not indicate whether the need is revenue enhancement in the form of a payroll tax or doing the cost cutting measures the school board and hospital district has implemented. Flowers also commended the city police for intensely patrolling the city, driving 12,000 miles last month. A property maintenance board was named; Mayor Harris acknowledged the need for the City Code Enforcement to be more in the form of City Code Assistance. And the council approved a change in City Zoning on Fairground Creek bordering Russell Creek, owned by Nelson McQuaide, changing 15 acres from R-3 residential to C-2 commercial.
