Cane Valley, KY, 1898: a beautiful little city In 1898, stage traveler found that, religiously speaking, Cane Valley was a community By "Jim" (The following appeared in the News in late March, 1898, an era when the stage pulled out of Columbia promptly at 5:15 a.m. and arrived in Campbellsville a mere three hours and 15 minutes later--a whiteknuckle seven miles per hour--if the Pike were fairly passable and old Dobbin didn't throw a shoe.) One day last week it was our pleasure to spend a few hours in the beautiful little city of Cane Valley. It had been some five or six years since we had stopped over, and had really kept no trace of her growth in population and in business, and to say that we were agreeably surprised is truly a fact. Cane Valley has five stores and all seemed to be doing a satisfactory business. it has all the necessary shops, such as blacksmith, tin and shoe, and a fine mill equipped with modern machinery.

Wants NYT and CM on Smartphone Hal writes: Have you ever thought about creating a smartphone app for Columbia Magazine? I use apps for reading the New York Times and the Drudge Report on my Droid X. I could use one for Columbia Magazine too.Hal: Thanks for writing. The Times launched on the web in 1996, and we got there in 1997. 14 years later, we're still playing high-tech-leapfrog with our peers in the Big Apple. It looks like they also beat us to the smartphone space, but our technology department is hard at work on the problem. --Pen 2011-04-28 09:52:52 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Technology News

More Surprises: New Mexico IS SO in America, too Jackie Montgomery treatie, below, presents irrefutable evidence that New Mexico is part of U.S. of A Comments re article 44000 Reader maintains that Arizona is so in America By Jackie Montgomery The New Mexico Magazine has a regular feature which is filled each month of each year with stories of New Mexicans whose US citizenship is called in question ("Sorry, we don't offer that service to Mexico") by everybody from travel agents, telephone services, follicle-challenged attention hounds, and plenty of folks one would imagine would have looked up from their shoelace struggles or other distractions with wonder at this magnificent state which includes one quarter of the Four Corners, where a kid can be in four states at one moment; famous outlaws--Billy the Kid ; famous Native American leaders --Chiricahua Apache Geronimo; forts and calvary and battles; and of course the distinction of telling those know-it-alls that a New Mexico birth certificate (although issued bilingually in English and Spanish) is SO proof of US citizenship! -Jackie Montgomery Thanks Jacqueline Montgomery. And I take these people can vote, travel freely across the country, and get obese at any fast food in these United States. I had sort of known about this. I remember crossing the border in my dad's magnificent 1952 Powerglide Chevrolet, near Clovis, NM, and we were not strip searched, no guns were drawn on us; and there were no uniformed thugs in one way dark shades interrogating us. The natives were very friendly, though we stuck closest to Adair County kinfolks there. -EW 2011-04-28 08:56:50 | Comments | Printable version

Reader maintains that Arizona is so in America Comments re article 43988 Big Al Owens standing on the corner in Winslow ArizonaStephen Slaubaugh writes: Arizona, at least near America if not part of it,...Thanks. Are you sure? Wish someone had told us. For now, we'll take your word on it. The failure to know was not, however, the fault of the local educational system itself. It was, in fact, the result of being forced to wear lace up shoes at the time. If velcro, already invented, had been in general use in the United States in the 1940's and early 1950s, the writer of that line would probably have gotten a better grounding in geography. That is another story. Now I'll bet that somebody is going to tell me Hawaii and Florida are in America, too. Never been to Hawaii, but was in Florida once or twice after I was 37 and should have known better, and the experience was worse than Ignatius J. Reilly's trip to Baton Rouge. The world is changing so fast. But we never stop learning, do we? We'll study more on whereabouts. -Ed Waggener 2011-04-28 04:48:43 | Comments | Printable version
