PROGRESS WHICH SHOULD BRING SMILES to the faces of the Project Development Board Boys. This morning, there was a two and one-half story Adair Florist house here. At this stage, early in the afteronon on October 31, it was a nine-foot high pile of rubble with Billy Starnes of Pyles Excavating, Inc. flattening it further. The third building on the new Adair Justice Center, the Adair Muffler Shop, was next in line, according to Daniel Keen, also with Pyles Excavating. He thought there was a chance it would be leveled today, as well, but later, the decision was made to raze that structure on Wednesday morning. The brick building on the left is the Columbia-Adair County Fire Department building.The blue barn is on the western edge of the Columbia City Cemetery.

Tom Chaney. October 31, 2006: Oddville

Of Writers and their books: The Other Side of Oddville, by Kentucky author, Dwight A. Moody

A Review by Tom Chaney, bookstore@scrtc.com

Dwight A. Moody, Dean of the Chapel at Georgetown College, has collected ten dozen delightful "Stories on American Religion and Everyday Life" to quote the subtitle of his collection published this year by Mercer University Press.

More than a little wary of Baptist preachers who write essays, I am on guard. Haunted by dozens of verses of "Just As I Am" as the finale of hundreds of sermons, I expect to be confronted with an altar call at every corner. If The Other Side of Oddville were that sort of book, I would not have finished it in two days -- or even finished it at all.
