Ann Melton: Salato family always will be part of community About: Christmas Memories:None are more special than Columbia, KY, in 60s and 70s To Nancy (Salato Humphrey) via ColumbiaMagazine.com: Nancy, What a wonderful story! You are so right shopping for Christmas was such a special event in downtown Columbia during our childhood. Remember those candy bins at Nell's Variety? How about sitting a John Lowe's counter for something hot to warm you up. Those were the days. I only wish our children had just a taste of how simple life was then and how little it took to make our days special. Your family will always be a part of this community and are missed by many. Hope your family has a very merry and blessed Chistmas.Love Your Always, Nancy Jane, s/Ann Melton 2009-12-13 15:05:43 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
Misses what was. But Things Change About: Christmas Memories: None are more special than Columbia, KY, in 60s and 70s To ColumbiaMagazine.com: Dittos to the article from Nancy Salato. I did the same thing, only in the early and mid-sixties. When I visit now, I miss the Square and the way things were then. I occasionally stop in the Walmart, waaaaay out Burkesville RD, but I'm all for progress, and things do change. I'll always remember the Square, and how we'd circle and go up Jamestown Hill to Jim Dandy's and back again and again. Anything could happen between the Square and JD's. I wonder if kids still do that? Probably not.Things change. s/Carolyn Plahuta 2009-12-13 14:58:01 | Comments | Printable version

(ADV) Extra cash for the holidays with CM Classifieds Get extra cash at Christmas time by advertising good but no longer needed items in the For Sale in CM Classifieds. As well, some Christmas items are already in the list of Want to Buy; a good place to check, first, in a search for quick Christmas income. Maybe it's an item you bought but never opened. Maybe it's a like new bicycle or television set or an extra computer someone might want to buy to allow a Grandmother or Granddad to send emails to grandchildren. Maybe it is a piece of heirloom jewelry. Maybe it's an extra vehicle which would make a good Christmas gift. Or a puppy or kitten. The list is endless. For individuals in Adair, Casey, Cumberland, Green, Metcalfe, Russell and Taylor Counties, it's (for most ads) FREE. An added benefit, this is the economic equivalent of the Neutralization Diet: While you're selling, you're not spending, which will make the cold days of January and February a lot easier with which to cope.

Natasha Rosenstock: The Hannukkah gift-giving dilemma. Link The Washington Post "On Faith" website has published an article by Natasha Rosenstock The Hannukkah gift-giving dilemma The writer is the daughter of Adair Countian Mary Keltner, Gradyville, KY.

Christmas Poem: Winter is King Celia Downey submitted this poem from an anonymous local source, and writes, "Ed, I know the author of this poem; however, that author prefers to remain anonymous. This poem is worthy and is therefore submitted for your consideration. Thanks, Celia." After some arm twisting, Celia Downey did relent, and shared the name of the poet, Ray Miller, on the condition that no one name it to him. "Maybe none of your readers will tell Dad," she said. 2009-12-13 09:27:01 | Comments | Printable version

Christmas Memories: None are more special than Columbia, KY, in 60s and 70s "I've had a lot of wonderful Christmas memories as an adult -Christmases with my husband and three daughters have been wonderful and full of excitement and love, but there will always be a place in my mind, and more importantly, in my heart, for the wonder of those special Columbia holidays." -NANCY SALATO HUMPHREY By Nancy Salato Humphrey I can't imagine a more magical place at Christmastime than Columbia in the 60s and 70s. Maybe it wasn't quite as perfect as the memory that lives in my nearly 50-year-old mind, but holidays in the Columbia I knew as a child, were pretty special. I'm missing my parents a lot this year - Mom died in March and Dad's been gone for 19 years --- so the Christmases of my past are particularly on my mind this year.

Barry Jones: Suggestion to help drowning victim survivor About: In a sad hour, the Adair County Way at its finest about the search for drowning victim William "Bill" Grover and the role of the search parties Ed, Thanks for the well written informative article about the search and recovery of Bill Grover's body.

Tom Chaney No. 233: Walter the Christmas Miracle Dog Tom Chaney book review, today, The Shepherd, the Angel, and Walter the Christmas Miracle Dog The next earlier Tom Chaney essay is Who We Are: Horse Cave, KY By Tom Chaney Email: Tom Chaney bookstore@scrtc.com Holiday Treacle Christmas is a'coming. The goose is getting fat -- if goose there be aside from one given at the punchbowl during the office party. My favorite image of Christmas comes from Br'er Rabbit stuck in the tar baby. Every step he takes to get away binds him tighter. At Christmas it may not be tar, but molasses and cane syrup will suffice. Those of us subject to the flood of emails from erstwhile friends are awash is sentiment enough to drown the best swimmer. We are given tales of little kids whose dire disease fortunately goes in remission just in time for Santa to plunge down the sooty chimney, pat the little urchin on the head and give him milk and cookies and a toy train when what he needs is valium to kill the pain.

Poetry by Robert Stone: An I sonnet -- Robert H. Stone, 22 February 2009 This tour de force sonnet has its origin in an email I wrote the day before asking:"Is your theme for next month 'what I came up with? Or maybe we could each choose our own adverb: came up, came down, came off, came by, etc. Or maybe I could work all four of these into one sonnet!" -Robert Stone 2009-12-13 02:52:58 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Poetry by Robert Stone
Carol Perkins: Small town department stores When small towns like Glasgow, Edmonton, and Columbia lost their department stores, something happened to our culture. Christmas shopping will never be the same as when it was walking into the National Store with its Toyland on the third floor The next earlier Carol Perkins store, Hypnotized By Carol Perkins Santa overlooked the city of Glasgow from the oversized upstairs window of the National Store. I was sure he was real. I don't know why I thought he would be standing in that window, night after night, but I had no doubt that he thought this store and this town was special. After all, with all the other places he could have landed, he chose Glasgow.

Rev. Joe N. Welsh: Fiorello LaGuardia, A Real Uniter, Not A Divider Another Angle, the occasional musings of a Kentucky pastor, originally published in the Hart County News-Herald, Munfordville, KY, 11 December 2005. Editor Robert Stone re-read this story about a uniter, one-time Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia, a Republican mayor of New York, who, "though short in stature, stood tall as a uniter." Mr. Stone thought thought it especially fit the times today By the Rev. Joey N. Welsh E-Mail: joey_n_welsh@hotmail.com We now live in an era when children are growing up to believe that voting and participation in politics mean primarily prejudging, judging, and labeling other people. Kids today mostly see that anyone who asks questions or disagrees with one side in a political dispute is viewed by the opposing side as an evil threat to a way of life. We are feeding our children today on weak gruel flavored with the bitter spiciness of superficial civics. I occasionally hear talk about uniting rather than dividing the American public, but I see precious little unification or cooperation going on amongst the spasms of name-calling these days.
