Craycraft, Adair Co. KY: Near Oak Grove, Ozark, New Concord Earlier article: Wonders about exact location of Craycraft, Adair Co., KY By E.H. Lepiarczyk II Craycraft is a community very near Oak Grove, Ozark, and New Concord. Although all of my grandfather and grandmother's sons and daughters were born at Concord, their birth certificates indicate they were born at Craycraft and Garlin. Concord did not have a post office. Craycraft's post office was discontinued and citizens of the Concord community largely used the Garlin post office for mail deliveries when my mother was growing up in the 1930s and 1940s. Concord became known as New Concord after the Concord School closed in the early 1950s. My grandfather, the late Daniel Marion Grider, was a rural mail carrier who delivered mail from the Craycraft post office. Many of my relatives lived in the Craycraft community including members of the Samuel Dowell Pierce family. The former Murrell family residence is one of the most prominent landmarks of the Craycraft commuity today. During my mother's generation many Craycraft community children attended Oak Grove School or Concord School in communities near Craycraft. -E.H.

Scenic Old Houses: Walter Murrell house holds happy memories About: Scenic Old House Series: Murrell House at Craycraft, Adair Co., KY To ColumbiaMagazine.com: My mother, Katherine Louise Grider Lepiarczyk, has fond memories visiting the Murrell family residence during her childhood. Mother's classmate and friend, Janet Louise Murrell Hayes, grew up in this lovely home. Mom and Janet graduated from Concord School and began their Columbia High School days together as members of the Class of 1952! Members of my family all remember that the Murrell family residence was one of the most beautiful homes in the Craycraft community. Thank you for presenting a treasured landmark of the Craycraft community on Adair County's premiere ColumbiaMagazine. s/E.H. Lepiarczyk II 2010-03-06 05:22:33 | Comments | Printable version

LEGISLATIVE UPDATE: A clearer picture on budget bill House on path to raise revenue through adjusting existing tax code statutes, a disappointment to Representative Carney By State Representative Bam Carney Each even-year session ushers in the time for legislators to craft a two-year spending plan to guide our Commonwealth. My colleagues and I hoped this year would provide the opportunity for a budget to be crafted in a bi-partisan manner, satisfying the needs of Kentucky in a fiscally sensible manner. Now, with less than a month remaining in the 2010 Regular Session, I was disappointed to see the Democrat proposal of raising taxes through House Bill 530.

Diner News: Election Talk Creeping Into Conversations . . . Common sense may come back into play in the upcoming elections, and that can be uncomfortably frightening John E. Moss, Jamestown, Russell County, KY At the Manners Diner on Monument Square there are still lingering thoughts on the wet/dry vote reversal. Most of the conjecture tends to be on who will be suing whom and who may or may not appeal the recent judicial decision. An unnamed local source, who used to be a judge, was talking about the difference between the written law and the law as interpreted by members of the judicial system. He also, from experience, gave a brief but comprehensive dissertation about how not being able to prove 'Prior Intent' can burn your rear end in a lawsuit. Talk at the diner is slowly turning to the coming primary election. For the most part, it is agreed that with so many candidates running in the primary for positions on the general election ballot, the old 'lesser of two evils' rule of thumb is for the most part worthless. A newer candidate elimination system of marking off relatives, those gripped by greed, buffoonery, and the marginally qualified seemed too harsh. Implemented impartially, there were far too few candidates left to choose from. So, it is beginning to look like common sense might have to brought into play during the election, and that can be uncomfortably frightening. But when you think . . . it does explain some of our previously elected city, county and state officials. 2010-03-06 04:49:04 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Commentary Birthdays and Anniversaries for March 6 Happy Anniversary, James and Maria Absher (1999) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Allison Bell Bardin (1973) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Austin Roy | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Becky Dial | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Brian Lee Johnson (1978) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Brittany Wilkinson Smith | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Courtney McKinney | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Everett Wayne Irvin | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Gidget Baker Royse | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Hugh Akin (1950) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, J.D.
