Daily News for Saturday, January 21, 2012
150th Anniversary of Civil War stimulates interest in area's role Adair County, KY was a bee hive of activity during much of the period of the 1861-1865 Civil War area, with concentration of troops varying from a very few to 18,000, a number approximating the population today - and there were 2 long term camps here: Camp Boyle, and Camp Billy Williams. Adair County Historian Mike Watson applauds Derek Coomer's discovery of the H.F. Liggett Letter, which great adds to the scholarship on this area's Civil War Legacy and to the nine citations of core Civil War sources he lists, below, available at the Adair County Public Library. By Mike Watson The War of 1861-1865, civil or otherwise, has always elicited varied emotions. It is good to know that this part of Kentucky's and America's history is still a topic of discussion in this technological age. Since these are the 150th anniversary years of the conflict, much interest has been stimulated, and curiosity will continue to grow as more and more seek the historic connections. It is all most pleasing to the heart of this old historian and researcher. Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2012-01-21 13:22:09 | Comments | Printable version

CWC principal has iBook Author, plans math eBook for iPads Since district's funds for textbooks cut basically to $0, Col. William Casey faculty has gotten creative; through necessity and new tools, they've met the challenge with new math curriculum. Now, with Apple's iBooks Author there may be an opportunity to publish their combined work into a math eBook. Click on headline for full story plus photo(s) By Patty Jones News from Col. William Casey School I am thrilled with the new iBooks Author from Apple and couldn't wait to download it the day it was released. As has been discussed in the media several times, the district's funding for textbooks has been cut to basically $0 over the past several years. At CWC this has resulted in the need for teachers to create math curriculum to meet the new Common Core Standards in Math. I immediately started playing with the idea of combining our "created curriculum" into a math eBook for use in the all primary classrooms.

JIM: The United Brethren on Jamestown Hill Jim brings back to life a scarcely remembered chapter in the roots of today's United Methodist Church, a denomination which most recently grew with a merger with the Evangelical United Brethren, bringing into the UMC fold two great congregations of today, Trinity in Columbia, and Barnett's Creek in Pellyton. An earlier chapter was the attempt to establish a United Brethren Church on Jamestown Hill. The long effort failed, and the church was sold, but there was only a brief hiatus a few decades, before one of sons of a leader of the Jamestown Hill Church would return to lead the Barnett's Creek Evangelical United Brethren Church. -CM By JIM This recent CM photograph of the Jamestown Hill area brought to mind another church house that once stood not far removed from the Praise Assembly of God building. On a hill overlooking the city: the little church that tried By the late summer of 1905, Jamestown Hill buzzed with humanity. Messrs. John D. Lowe and J.O. Russell, among many others, had recently completed residences; several other homes were under construction; the Dr. S.P. Miller family had purchased the Capt. O.B. & Mollie Patteson property and planned to move there shortly; and Prof. and Mrs. A.H. Ballard (Mrs. Ballard being a sister of Dr. Miller) had announced immediate plans to remove to the hill as well.
