Allan J. Share will lecture on Civil War at Slider, April 24, 2012

By Phil Hanna

The Columbia Woman's Club and the Kentucky Humanities Council bring a lecture by Allen J. Share, Distinguished Teacher and Professor, Division of Humanities, University of Louisville, KY, on the topic, "The Civil War: Irrepressible Conflict or Avoidable Tragedy?" The program will be at 7pmCT, Tuesday April 24, 2012, at Lindsey Wilson College's Slider Humanities Center Recital Hall, 155 Blue Raider Drive, Columbia, KY. The lecture is free and open to all.

For 150 years people have been arguing whether or not the Civil War was an avoidable and hence unnecessary conflict, a thesis which historian David Goldfield revives in his new 600-page history America Aflame. This talk will examine both sides of this argument with particular reference to the life's work of Kentucky's greatest statesman, Henry Clay, known as the "Great Compromiser." -Phil Hanna

In last night's Adair County School Board meeting:
  • Board votes to refinance bonds for expected savings of $95,888
  • Board votes to proceed with construction of a $12.4 million elementary school project, despite failure of Kentucky Legislature to make Urgent Needs state aid available
  • Type of heating and air, roof, and new entrance on bypass will be determined by bids. Board hopeful good bids will let $12.4 million available to complete job, but will have alternate, corner-cutting bids in case optimum package reaches the $13.2 million projected by architect is the reality
  • End of school dates announced
  • Early storm warning siren to be added to campus


By Ed Waggener
