Let me tell you about our Tillie: 8 months old enjoying lamb 2012-01-26 - Frankfort, KY - Photo by Tom. Our Tillie Visiting in Greensburg, KY, the other day, Linda just happened to see a toy which spoke to her of Tillie. It was in the Kentucky Market House/Longhunter's Cafe at 115-117 Public Square, Greensburg, KY. She bought it from Mimi Moore, delivered it, and found that the precocious child knew just what to do with it. - GRANDAD.Occasionally, not quite hourly, I just have to tell you about my grandchildren - the greatest people in the world. But I'm also hoping other grandparents who most of whom know their own grandkids are the greatest things to reach the planet will share stories and photos, too. ED. PS - Thanks to everyone who send acknowledgment and best wishes to Tillie's new bud, Hailey Elizabeth. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Scenic Marion Co., KY: Club 68 sign 2012-01-26 - Lebanon, KY - Photo by Larry Smith. Larry Smith writes: I snapped this picture, Tuesday night, January 24, 2012, at Attorney Elmer George's house in Marion County, KY. Mr. George and I met to discuss the possible post office closures. While there, I spotted this sign in his backyard and he graciously consented to let me photograph it for ColumbiaMagazine. The sign will bring back many memories of the times when Club 68 drew headline performers to Central Kentucky - stars like Fats Domino, Ike and Tina Turner, The Four Tops, Diana Ross and the Supremes, Aretha Franklin and Chubby Checker. I've been impressed with Elmer's pro bono work for the small communities in our WAVE 92.7 and BIG DAWG 99.9 FM listening area. He is fighting to keep our small town post offices in Adair, Taylor and Marion Counties. They are so important to the economic and social wellbeing of the area. In Taylor County alone...the Amish community has over 30 business's in Mannsville and they rely on the Mannsville Post Office for all of their shipping of products, and this keeps the horses and buggies Off Broadway in Campbellsville. - Larry Smith, Operations Manager, the Big Dawg radio stations. PS: And no, despite the subtle implications from the devious CM, I am not a clone. I'm the same Larry Smith who plays Adult Contemporary with Heavy Mix of Oldies in the mornings at The WAVE FM 92.7 in Adair County darn near Royville and Russell Springs, KY, as I am in the afternoons when I'm at The Big Dawg, waving to people on Main Street in Campbellsville, KY and I can prove it. When I cross the Green River bridge, I switch toggle my mind, flip a switch to the deliver the Best in Country Music for the huge audience of the Big Dawg, whose Mighty Tower, by the way, is in Little Cake, Adair County, KY.

Sparksville Elevated Water Tower: Steel bowl fabrication stage 2012-01-25 - Weed-Sparksville Road, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Workmen for Caldwell Tank Company of Louisville, KY were busy at just before 5pmCT, Wednesday, January 25, 2012, fabricating the 750,000 gallon steel bowl which will be raised to the top of the structure, secured into place, and then have to be steel capped. When completed, the tower will serve most of the southern half of Adair County and will replace three stand pipes. Besides providing clean water to homes and businesses, the tank will assure adequate pressure to add fire hydrants for fire protection, and the capacity will allow exportation of surplus water. The work is part of an accelerated infrastructure expansion and replacement by the Columbia/Adair County Utilities District at the most opportune time: When grants and low cost loans were available allowing CAUD to build at a time when a lull in the construction industry created a buyer's market for construction.
