Community would make good Reality Show

Jamey Hayes writes:
I totally agree with Joe (Joe Hare. -CM) it seems some would like to make our community like what they moved here to escape from. We have some wanting stricter traffic laws and others wanting to make our town wet so the drunks won't have to drive as far.

Last week we had magistrates wanting a nuisance ordinance with teeth. This community would make a good reality show. - Jamey Hayes

Sad word of the passing Beverly Merritt, 62

Word has reached us of the sad passing of Beverly Merritt, 62, an Adair County High School graduate of the Knifley area of Adair County, KY on Monday, January 21, 2013, in Memphis, TN.

On behalf of the Adair County High School Band, I wish to offer our condolences to the family and friends of Bev Merritt with her recent passing.

While I did not know her personally, I do know that throughout the years her continued support of the Adair County Band was greatly appreciated. The stories of her 'Energizer Bunny' moments are legendary as they truly add to the rich history of this band program.

The Adair County High School Band was fortunate enough to receive very nice notes of encouragement from her, even during her time of illness. Our thoughts and prayers go out to all that knew and loved her and we offer our deepest regrets.

Respectfully,

Thanks so much for caring enough to speak out and you are so right, Rollin. Personal responsibility for one\'s own actions should be everyone\'s primary consideration.

Question and Tip for safer roads and street

Rollin Knifley writes:
While your point is valid Billy Joe, might I suggest that while looking in the mirror we start with questions like:
  1. When I operate my motor vehicle today, will I pay attention to things that are happening past my dashboard?

  2. When I operate my motor vehicle today, will I do so in a manner that will ensure the safety of its occupants and those I share the highways with?

  3. When I operate my motor vehicle today, will I do so with patience, kindness, and courtesy to those around me? Even if the lines are long, and the lights aren\'t changing to suit my schedule.

  4. When I operate my motor vehicle today, will I take responsibility for my own actions? Just because the Police, County Judge, Magistrates, and who ever else is easy to blame aren't looking, doesn't give me the right to operate my motor vehicle in an inattentive, careless or reckless manner.
You are correct Billy Joe. The mirror is the place to start. --Rollin Knifley

By Ralph "Out-of-order" Waggener
Editor & Publisher,It's Just for a Smile News

Stop light that last a full minute before changing like the one at intersection of KY 206 and KY 55 N increase the chance of someone running the amber light.

This light is automated to recognize how many vehicles to let through before changing. If a auto let a full link of a car space while waiting then the light changes with only letting a few cars through, then you wait a full minute until it changes back to green.

Time to act to make streets, crosswalks safer is now

By Billy Joe Fudge

I certainly live in a glass house and will not be throwing any stones and I'm sure none of us are self-righteous when it come to breaking traffic laws.

Also, I don't want to be mono-visioned and single-minded like many gun control enthusiasts who are so focused upon a tree that they cannot see the forest.

That being said, "we the people" must respectively petition our magistrates, our city councilors, our county judge and mayor to review and update our speed limits in the city and around our county.

Remembering Martha Martin: Valued, Active Democrat Woman

Miss Martha will be greatly missed. She was an active member of many groups in our community and could always be counted on to do her share of the work.

She has been a member of the Adair County Democrat Women's Club and the Adair County Democrat Executive Committee for as many years as I can remember. She was at the first meeting I ever attended and was at the last meeting we had in December.

On behalf of the Adair County Democrat Women's Club and the Adair County Democrat Executive Committee, we extend our sincere sympathy to her family. --Victoria Pike

It would be so easy to get a wet vote here in Columbia. All we have to do is get the signatures to have a vote. Then we could have more tax money.

Doesn't understand why everyone is down on Columbia drivers

Joe Hare writes
It has been interesting reading all the comments about the drivers of Columbia. I really don't understand why everyone is so down on the drivers here, and not anywhere else. I know that I am not as well traveled as some of the folks making these comments, but I have been out of the county a time or two, and drivers seem to be pretty much the same anywhere you go., None of us are perfect and we don't drive perfect, so how can we grumble so much about others. If there was a way to prove it I would bet that every person driving has made mistakes and/or broken the law at some point while under the wheel. You know one (1) MPH over the speed limit is breaking the law and has not everyone of us "rolled through a stop sign"? I have, and I feel so have all drivers.

Lets all look for something positive to talk about, as if I remember correctly, this all started with the safety on the Veterans Memorial Highway.

Also if we are so bad in Adair County why do we have so many people move here to retire/live and then tell us how bad we are in so many ways? -JOE HARE

I think it would be hard for the police to enforce the same traffic laws they break themselves. I was coming home one night and in front of me I saw a police cruiser blow a stop sign. He was behind a car that was completely stopped. Because no one was coming he felt he did not have to stop. Drivers pull out in front of others on a regular basis all around Columbia. If you are driving on the by-pass I see drivers speed up to get through the yellow light. It turns red long before they get to it. - Wayne Armitage

Peggy Fudge: Limits to what careful driver can do to protect self

Writer says there is a limit as to how much a careful driver can do to protect against inattentive drivers. The writer takes longer, alternate LBN Parkway to avoid intersection on Adair Veterans Memorial Bypass. And she asks, if, in the long run, an overpass here would not have paid off.

By Peggy Fudge

Most car crashes are due to driver error of some kind. But some roads are not designed to deal with that. And it is no comfort to me to know that this is a 'safe road' when the intersection is deadly because of distracted drivers.

Women's College basketball

News from Lindsey Wilson College

WILBERFORCE, OHIO - Jasmine Brimm just missed her career-high in leading the Lindsey Wilson College women's basketball team to a 82-68 win over host Wilberforce (Ohio) before a crowd of 130 at the Alumni Metroplex finishing with 34 points - one point off her career-best 35 - after making a career-high six 3-pointers to lead the Blue Raiders (14-6) to their fourth win in five games. Ashley Rainey and Kasey Litzinger joined Brimm in double figures with 10 points each. Offensively, the Blue Raiders shot 46.9 percent (30-of-64) from the field, including 9-for-18 from beyond the 3-point arc. On the opposite end, Lindsey Wilson held its host to 33.3 percent (22-of-66) from the field and 3-for-11 (27.3 percent) from deep. Wilberforce's Keeahna Fontes scored a team-high 22 points in a losing effort.
