Why isn't the name changed to Academic Co.? Divers opinions and remarks from North, Way North - of Green River, Tucker Ridge, Esto and Ono, KY
To the Editor: I much appreciate you running the Judge Baker / RAC Martin piece. As you know from our previous conversations, I feel pretty strongly about (against) the aggrandizement of outlaws/cowards. Also, I appreciate the plug for From Hope to Hilltop. And too, many, many thanks for posting all the news about the incredible academic accomplishments of Adair County's young folks. I would think that by now there would (should) be a move afoot to change the name to Academic County! I'll get the next installment of "100 years ago" to you tomorrow. I think a couple of your first wife's relatives are mentioned. -Yr. humble scribejim Thanks, Jim. Academic County, KY, does sound great. My first wife will be very appreciative iffen you mention some of the Old Turners. It'll tickle her mama no end. -Ed 2010-04-30 16:22:34 | Comments | Printable version

Remembering Vonda Brockman: They don't come any better About: Remembering Vonda Brockman: Loved her, and Peggy, dearly To ColumbiaMagazine.com: Vonda Brockman was one of my dearest friends. She and her sister Peggy have been an inspiration to my life. They have always been so good to me. Some of the most beautiful cards with handwritten messages that I have ever received came from Vonda and Peggy. No one could handle the grill at the Circle R like Vonda...the food was always delicious and she always had a smile on her face, no matter how many orders were waiting for her. They don't come any better than Vonda Brockman. Everyone who knew her, will miss her very much. I know I will. My thoughts and prayers are with Peggy at this sad time. s/Sue Stivers 2010-04-30 15:06:56 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

Judge H.C. Baker, writing just over a quarter century after the crime, had no use for those who would glorify the memory of the robbery of the Bank of Columbia and the cold-blooded killing of a good man, R.A.C. Martin on April 29, 1872. About Historian has no sympathy for the James Gang By Jim Were Judge Herschel Clay (H.C.) Baker around to read Mr. Saeli's commentary about the death of Mr. RAC Martin, there is no doubt the good Judge's response would be, "Absolutely, Mr. Saeli -- I agree!" In April, 1898, Judge Baker penned for the Adair County News a lengthy article about the bank robbery and Mr. Martin's death. At the time, Mr. Baker was a young lawyer who practiced law and lived in Columbia.
