Being Green is a good thing

Being sure of what is Green is better
A Columbia, KY businessman speaks out in support of one of Adair County's biggest - and perhaps least appreciated - industries: Printing, Publishing, and Advertising

By Ralph Waggener
President of South Central Printing, Inc.

Saving the environment is a very good thing for every one to work on. Knowing what helps and what hurts is pretty important. I'm in the paper business and get to hear people rant and rave about saving trees.

Recently I had the opportunity to read [on paper] a report from one of my paper suppliers International Paper Co. on new controlled forest versus old growth forest.

Poetry by Robert Stone: Finding answers


Finding Answers,
a sonnet for Jason Driskill by Robert Stone
When Eve was eating apples long ago
and bit into the one forbidden fruit,
her disobedience did bring her low
and Adam simply thoughtless followed suit.

The story says they knew then nakedness
and sought to cover up their lesser parts
but what that means for all is just a guess
and answers grow into the many arts.

Perhaps they learned to know that one alone
can never find all answers to their need,
to say I need your help is beauty shown,
to say I want to help is love's great deed.

To think that self can bring to self all things
is arrogance's song on untried strings.

- Robert Stone, 11 April 2010

Rigor Morality: Ralph McInerny, Thomas Aquinas, and Father Dowling

In the early 1970's when I was keeping the road hot between Horse Cave and Indianola, Iowa, I would occasionally stop by South Bend, Indiana, to visit a friend from Baylor days.

In the early 1960's David Solomon and I shared a small apartment near the Waco campus and a most disagreeable fice dog named Pablo. David went on to the University of Texas to study philosophy.

Carol Perkins: Willie

Willie Nelson is more than a writer, musician, and songwriter, she says. "Even on stage he is Willie playing Willie."
Next previous Carol Perkins column:I witnessed the Civil Rights Movement


By Carol Perkins

I admire great talent. I appreciate the gift given to others. In the area of music, I enjoy more than a few truly exceptional performers; however, there are only select groups who are truly gifted. Willie Nelson is one of those.

I have been a Willie fan since the 70's. I have seen him perform in large venues like Freedom Hall to small outdoor amphitheaters like Tombstone Junction. When he is at his best, he is THE best; when he is not at his best, he is just Willie at his worst.

Old Jane Todd Crawford Trail roadbed has charm

In some places, it is grown up, but trail is still discernible
Click on headline for story plus photo(s)

By Judy Corbin
Some notes on Southern Green Co., KY

There is an enjoyable area of the country in Ebenezer that also has great history.

It is part of what is known as the Jane Todd Crawford Trail.

The Trail is on the Bill Shuffett Road off Hwy. 565 and it ends at the old road bed that has long since grown up, but is still visible to the eye.

It's charm is wonderful for anyone, but it is really beautiful to the eyes of the person who enjoys both history and nature, as the accompanying photos show.

Chuck Hinman, IJMA No. 340: Me and My Hair

It's Just Me Again 340: Me and My Hair
The next earlier Chuck Hinman story What's That Smell? Is Chuck Hinman your favorite Sunday with CM columnist, as many tell us? If so, we hope you'll drop him a line by email. Reader comments to CM are appreciated, as are emails directly to Mr. Hinman at: charles.hinman@sbcglobal.net

By Chuck Hinman

I never had a "store haircut" until I left home and went into military service. Mom did the honors for the male members of our family, and "No, she didn't use a bowl as a guide!"

Her equipment was simple - a hand powered hair clipper and that was it. She used a tea towel to cover our shoulders to keep the hair off our clothes. It was always done in the kitchen, and she did it on all three of us "MEN" after Saturday evening supper, probably so we would look decent at church the next day.
