Architects at SCB caught up in Columbia bell fever

Sherman, Carter, Barnhart working on several attractive bell solutions

Supt. Alan Reed writes:

I have been sending the the Columbiamagazine updates about the old school bell to Mr. Gabe Jones and the team of architects at Sherman, Carter, Barnhardt. They acknowledge that the buzz has started! Today I received an e-mail letting me know they are working on several attractive bell solutions for the new Adair County Primary Center.

The photos and public comments have served to generate much conversation about the old grade school. I would appreciate hearing from one of your readers who could describe how the bell sounded and how far away one could hear it. Our intent is to not only proudly display this wonderful piece of Adair County education history, but also to have it in working order to be rung at only the most special of occasions.

Alan Reed, Superintendent

Martha Barnes Martin's Memories of Jamestown Hill September 19, 1998

An Unforgettable Adair Countian, Martha Barnes Burris Martin, died this week, too soon after the loss of her equally unforgettable sister, Mary Evelyn Walker. Martha Martin was a many faceted, multi-talented woman of incredible vitality with an absolutely unquestioned love of Columbia. One of those talents was an extraordinary gift of language, so charmingly conveyed in this transcript of her recollections of growing up on Jamestown Hill, Columbia, KY. The introduction to the last revival of the talk from just a few months shy of 25 years, follows, along with a link to the full transcript, with photo(s) and many, many other links.
From walking the ledge . . . to praying for Earl . .. to 14 cents a gallon gasoline. . . to the house (where Five Star is today) which burned because the fire truck couldn't go out of the Columbia City limits . . . to Ralph Shearer dribbling a basketball home in the dark. It all happened on Jamestown Street, a magical place that really was, as it could only be told by Martha Barnes Martin

Query: Wants details on individuals in Central KY Busline photo

George A. McGaha writes:
I'm seeking some help on identifying names with faces in the attached old photo. I recognize quite a few of the faces in this picture, but can only put a name with the tall guy on the left side of the photo. This is my grandfather, George Simpson. I don't know if this would be magazine worthy or not, but I figured that somewhere between yourself, Hack, and Hunter, you guys would probably recognize everyone in this photo, and possibly the origin of the photo. At the time this photo was taken I figure Hack and Hunter probably spent more time on the Square, and as they say nowadays "hanging out" at the G&M Grill more than Gilpin (Grover) and Morris (Richard) themselves. I appreciate any information anyone could give me on this photo. I have the original photo and can give it to you in other formats if that would help. Thank you, - George McGaha 502-889-7418
Thanks, George Allen: As you round up the usual suspects who might know the answer to your question, you might inquire of the Flowers Bros. - particularly the Joseph Flowers, the youngest of the three. Also: Ann Curtis. Also: David Martin. We know the photo was taken in the Reed Street side parking lot of what is now Grissom-Martin Funeral Home. The busline was owned by Mr. David Heskamp. Hope we get some answers. - EW

Is Campbellsville, KY traffic rule same similarly, statewide

Comments re article 57101 Observed three incidents of bad driving coming to town today Jon Halsey writes:
Regarding the left turn against the light comment, Several months ago a Central Kentucky News Journal reader asked about turning left against the red turn arrow if the lanes continuing straight had the green light and no one was coming from the opposite direction. The specific location was the "Big Intersection" of 55, 68, 70 and 210 in Campbellsville, KY The question was answered by the Police Chief who said that it was legal to turn from the left lane against the red arrow as long as the light was green for the ongoing lanes and there was no traffic from the opposite direction.

I wonder if this is just a local ordinance or if it applies on all KY State routes as these are.

Jon Halsey
Knifley, KY
Thanks, Mr. Halsey: for the question. And, for the benefit of vacationers to Beautiful Downtown Knifley, KY, what is the local ordinances relating to The Crossing in Knifley? Not sure if the inquiring mind of Maury Lewis wants to know or not, but others may be curious as to how public safety is maintained in peaceful, serene, Knifley, KY. - CM

Agrees with Joe Hare on drivers being alike

Comments re article 57121 Doesn't understand why everyone is down on Columbia drivers

Wayne Armitage writes:
Joe Hare you hit the nail on the head. All Drivers are alike in all cities. So it all comes back to the fact that since no one obeys the traffic laws then no one should complain about accidents at intersections. It is not the maker or the designer of roads that cause accidents it is the drivers that are not paying attention and obeying the laws. - Wayne Armitage
Thanks, Wayne Armitage: You're right, drivers are generally alike, everywhere, and the majority of Adair County drivers are way above average. What most are complaining about is the tiny number in the Idiot Class, the Jerks, the driving bullies who need attention. And what's wrong with making the roadways more intuitive? -EW

Questions if anyone knows how to drive around the Square

Comments re article 57126 Time to act to make streets crosswalks safer is now Carolyn Williamson writes:
Or as stated in my other comment. (Response to Stop Lights commentary) It may help if people are made to take Drivers Education classes and learn to obey the laws of the road.

Case in point, no one seems to know exactly how to drive around the square or what STOP means??? - Carolyn Williamson
Thanks We'd like to see Stops at every Crosswalk in town. We'd like to see uniformity in Kentucky towns with "rotaries" like our Public Square and Burkesville's. Both are same physical layout, with different rules. Either would be fine. -EW

Driving On Kentucky Roads: A Russell Countian Speaks Out

It's a privilege, not a right. Comments on the Inattentive Driver problem. Most answers are in the manual, he says. Urges all to 'Pay Attention'

By Daniel Wilson
Editorial comment

RUSSELL SPRINGS, KY. (Thursday, January 24, 2013. 1:18amCT) - I would like to state driving on Kentucky Highways is a privilege and not a right. Established by the Kentucky Department of Transportation are guidelines for safe driving and many of those rules are enforceable by Kentucky Law and can be a simple citation, misdemeanor or felony arrest, depending on the situation if an infarction is observed by law enforcement.

Donna Saunders: Same offenders are continually breaking law

Received from an obviously "Sleepless on Burkesville Street" writer at 12:50amCT, Thursday morning, January 24, 2013, from loud, noisy, unsafe Burkesville Street, Columbia, KY

By Donna Saunders
Editorial Comment

I don't care where you live or have lived, it is not wrong to want to have the laws of your community upheld.

Speed limit laws are there for a reason...public safety.

To just ignore those laws is a complete disrespect for the law and the citizens of that community.

George Rice Comments on drivers - the majority are good ones

He commends local drivers; rightfully so (for majority). He suggests street light at Burkesville Street/Road & Bypass

George Rice writes:
I'm somewhat like Joe Hare about the bad drivers in Columbia and Adair County. I'm the littlest man on the totem pole but I didn't know that we had a driving problem with the drivers or the law enforcement. I really thought our town had very courteous drivers. Almost daily while going through town I see drivers slowing or stopping to let someone in or out of a traffic situation. As for the stop lights, I would suggest to lay the phone down and watch those lights. They are designed for our safety.

As for a suggestion, I sure would like to see a street light at the intersection of Hwy. 61/80 and the by-pass. I find it very difficulty to see the road lines at night when turning left off 61/80 onto the by-pass north. George Rice - George Rice
George Rice - Agreed that on balance Adair County has an overwhelming majority of the most courteous drivers in the world. It's the outlyers, the small Idiot Class and the Bully Drivers - tailgaters, intersection blockers, speeders, the disturbers of the peace, including the engine gunners, the jake-brakers in town, the through semi's who won't use the bypass, the minority of motorcyclists who purposely rev engines (even Harley-Davidson's President has asked riders of his machines to ride respectfully, and, when they do, most absolutely love to see their bikes), and all the misfits who drive threateningly, who need special education. Those who love Downtown Columbia, live here, walk here, bike here, buy here, bank here, do business here, pay taxes (boy do they pay taxes - inequitably, too, for what they get!) deserve not to be, Still Sleepless in Columbia, KY at 1:17amCT - a loud semi on Jamestown Street awoke me - and I'm making the most of it, working. - ED WAGGENER
