100 Years Ago: In May 1910, focus was on Halley's Comet (Written in memory of Effie Sandusky Heskamp 1910-2009. "Born, to the wife of Charley Sandusky, May 17, a daughter." - Adair County News, May 25, 1910.) -JIM By Jim One hundred years ago this week, the eyes of Adair County and the world were heavenward cast both in wonderment and dread anticipation as Halley's comet made its closest approach to earth. In September, 1909, the News had stated that "Astronomers tell us that this great flaming star will, when at its full glory next May, cover 100 degrees of celestial territory and will stand out like a great living thing of fire,"and in mid-April, 1910, came the report that "It will be the most superb sight that our generation has seen in the heavens." But there were also dire predictions. Some scientists believed that when - if - the earth passed through the tail of the comet on May 18th, "we may be soaked with deluge or rain during our comet bath." Others stated that dry conditions would precede the comet's approach, but the Ono correspondent in May 4 News deftly batted that one aside, wryly commenting that the "much dreaded drouth (sic) that the astronomer predicted would be until after Halley's comet passed in May, has proven to be very damp and cool." Another scientist, a Dutchman, prognosticated that the comet's tail "is made up of cathode rays, which, touching our atmosphere, would become X-rays of great intensity."

Carol Perkins: Let's Talk About... Field Hockey It wasn't quite like Paul on the road to Damascus, but Carol Perkins had an *eppitomie which redirected her life to the Highest Calling, with a profound conversion to the becoming an English Major, and serving the students of the the Free State of Metcalfe as an English teacher. Next previous Carol Perkins column: The Furniture Truck By Carol Perkins Few commercials catch my attention, but this one did. The theme was "When I Grow Up, I Want To Be...", and all those speaking were sixty or older. I could identify. Each year I try to reinvent myself, most of the time with little success. This commercial caused me to think about my college days when I was trying to choose a major. I NEVER wanted to be a teacher. There were already too many in my family, and I wanted to be different. Teaching was an honorable profession, but somehow I wanted more than a classroom, a textbook, and answering to bells.

For years one of my least favorite signs of spring was the artificial grass adorning all of the Easter baskets the boys had every year during their childhood. It was nasty stuff, what with green strands showing up around the house for weeks after Easter, wrapping around the intake rollers on the vacuum cleaner.
