Charles Marshburn comments on state of things here

About: Mark R Bess will settle in Adair Co KY in just 4 years

To ColumbiaMagazine.com:

Columbia is filling up with refugees from Florida! I wonder if this fellow knows how to plant tobacco.

s/Charles Marshburn

Don't know about all his ag skills; he's probably as good as any thinking from a tractor seat. But the consensus is that Florida has a serious braindrain in process, benefitting Breeding, KY, a community never short on gray matter, starting with the illustrious family for which the town was named.

By Kyle Hadley

In June 25, 2008 you posted a photo #27520 of the Strand theater and Star Theater. Here's some information on the photos. Hope it helps. The top is the old Strand Theater, which was located on the square in Jamestown and the Star was built to replace it.

This is the oldest photo of the Star that I have found. It was taken before the Star opened probably in Fall 1949 because the Star opened on in 1950.

Adair Band.com

The Adair County High School Marching Band got several miles closer to New York City last night with a five-hour fundraiser at Betty's OK Country Cooking, raising $1,056 of the $63,000 which had been left to gather for the Band Boosters to reach the magic $140,000 total needed to pay for the band members expenses.

Doyle Lloyd, the Band's President, was elated with the community response to the project, and was very pleased with the restaurant for their help. ""A big thank you to Betty Ollestad and all her staff for letting the Band Dad's wait tables tonight. It was a great night for the Macy's fund because it grew another $1,056.00," he said.
