Letter: Kudos to Columbia Police Officer Justin Claywell

LETTERS & FEEDBACK

To ColumbiaMagazine.com

I want to thank God for allowing Justin Claywell to be so alert in what could have been a disastrous, life-threatening situation. STORY

Now, when you see two officers behind a single car pullover, you know why. I hope everyone realizes what a blessing that this was. I believe that Justin ought to be nominated for an award for his alertness that may have saved his own, and a fellow officers life.

Three cheers for the training that our Adair County Sheriffs receive. Thanks should also be given to the alert tipster who reported this incident to the 911 dispatcher. With everyone's help we can keep our streets safe here in Adair County!

Tom Chaney: Jan. 27, 2008: Dan Sickles, American Scoundrel

Of Writers and Their Books: A review of Thomas Keneally's Roguish Rapscallion: Dan Sickles

By Tom Chaney
Owner, the Bookstore, Horse Cave, KY

Let's see now. How to begin describing Dan Sickles?

Dan Sickles died of a cerebral hemorrhage May 3, 1914.

After a life of one scandal after another, he was appointed head of the New York State Monument Commission which he served for 26 years. In 1912 the books were discovered to be out of balance by some $28,000.

Good for a deep laugh! Fans of Burns would have been expecting the ending after a few sentences. Those who had never heard much of Burns might be wondering now, "What's this about?"
