Praise for Junior Brown, the Adair County State Road Crew Trip from Nashville was difficult until they reached the Adair Co. line To the editor, ColumbiaMagazine.com My family and I were driving back from Nashville this morning in the snow storms. There were numerous accidents in Nashville alone, and the roads only got worse the farther north we traveled. The larger counties that we traveled through on the way home I thought would be clearer than Adair County. When we reached Adair County's section of the Louie B. Nunn Cumberland Parkway at around 2:00am this morning, we found it was by far the cleanest, easiest to travel section we were on the whole trip. I would like to commend Mr. Junior Brown and the Adair County Kentucky Highway Department Road Crews for the job they do! I for one really appreciate all you do to help keep my family safe! s/Stephanie Caldwell 2008-02-27 14:52:44 | Comments | Printable version

Feedback: Tony Harvey says OC captured a Snipe re: BIRD PHOTO To the editor: In reference to the image of a bird that OC recently has photographed.What he has taken a picture of is what's known as a Common Snipe. So I'm just wondering if the OC was snookered into going Snipe hunting and just doesn't want to admit. Well, there's a good side to this story. He is probably one of very few who've been successful in actually catching a Snipe. So he should be proud, I think?
