Bro. Randy Brown living to give, leaving a legacy About: The Story of Lynne-Vie by Janella Brown To ColumbiaMagazine.com: This is an amazing story that is heart-wrenching and heart-lifting at the same time.

Memorial Day Observance marred by appalling behavior of a few motorists Maybe Adair County has no more discourteous drivers than other American locales, there are too many. Behavior at Memorial Day service today shows once again and all too often how badly noisy, speeding, and threatening vehicle operation needs immediate attention of law enforcement, city and county leaders, business leaders and Chamber of Commerce, religious and education leaders, and local media. -EW By Cathy Luttrell Monday is the day for our great country to honor all of the men and women who have fought and died here at home and on lands far away. I have tried to instill in my two sons, ages 23 and 11, that this is a very special occasion and is not to be taken lightly. These fallen soldiers deserve the respect of all American of all ages. Sunday, May 30, 2010, Columbia VFW Post 6097 held their annual Memorial Day Service at the fairgrounds. This is the one day of the year that citizens of this county gather to pay tribute to fellow comrades, family members and friends. The ceremony is held at the gates to the fairgrounds where a monument stands honoring fallen Adair countians.

Cycling Adair Co., KY: A 30 miler starting down Ky 704 Seeing Adair Co. at 19.8 mph: Choosing among the great options for biking in Adair County is difficult, but a 30 (28.7) miler down 704, across Harvey's Ridge, over Wheeler Hill and through the Flatwoods then across Jones Chapel Road - seemingly built for cyclists with its great shoots which yielded maximum speed of 47 mph - and then on KY 80 to Lampton Lane and in via Greensburg ST via the campus which gave young lad the finest 12 years of public schooling in Kentucky filled the bill. By Tom Waggener In celebration of our first wedding anniversary, Teresa and I decided to visit columbia and then go get some much needed R and R in Smiths Grove, KY. I was excited by the opportunity to revisit some of my old cycling turf on Sunday morning before we headed out. Choosing just one route in Adair County is really difficult. I needed a 30 miler with some challenging hills and great vistas that would get me home in time for lunch. After some discussion with dad, who wanted to short change me with a measly 20 miler, I decided to: Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2010-05-30 16:33:48 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Sports

The Story of Lynne-Vie After four trips to Haiti, Columbia Pharmacist and Minister Randy Brown and his best friend thought they'd never be needed there again. But the earthquake January 12, 2010, changed that. What follows is the story, the writer says, of the Hand of God working through some remarkable circumstances to let a young Haitian amputee walk again. The story shows, the writer says, that "We all can see miracles every day if we will just pay attention. This just doesn't only happen in Haiti, but it can happen in Columbia, too. Click on headline for story plus photo(s) to be posted by Janella Brown Well, I guess it all started when Hurricane Katrina hit Louisiana. I know that seems an odd place to start when this story is about a girl from Haiti, but that's when it began for Randy.

Tom Chaney No. 256: American Lightning Of Writers and Their Books, No. 256: 30 May 2010, a review of Howard Blum's American Lighting The next earlier Tom Chaney column, a review of books on Rolling Down the Rivers By Tom Chaney Email: Tom Chaney bookstore@scrtc.com Heat Lightning Early in the morning of October 1, 1910, an explosion destroyed the building of the Los Angeles Times. Twenty-one people were killed. At first the blast was attributed to a careless match igniting a gas leak. Soon it became clear that a bomber had been at work. Howard Blum, a contributing editor to Vanity Fair, without a blush stretches this event into what some yellow journalists of the time labeled it: "The Crime of the Century." This name was given before Lee Harvey Oswald, the Mansons, the Watergate gang, Hitler, and James Earl Ray; and with only ninety years to go in the century. And I don't recall such 21st century appellations given to the West Virginia mine disaster or the current British Petroleum debacle off the oily coast of Louisiana.
