Sidewalk needed all the way across Tutt Street Landon Parnell writes: I think there should be a sidewalk all the way up and down Tutt Street. As I drive down Tutt Street every day I encounter so many people walking out in the road. As for me, and I'm sure many others, we have to swing over into oncoming traffic so not to hit them. This problem gets even worse at night. There is a sidewalk a little way up Tutt Street but when the sidewalk runs out people take to walking in the road and that's when it becomes unsafe. - Landon ParnellThanks, Landon Parnell. Maybe someone in government will take note and do something about the situation. - CM 2013-03-13 15:58:07 | Comments | Printable version

Joyce M. Coomer suggests reflectors to delineate lane divisions Joyce M Coomer writes: Instead of more lights how about the nice reflectors to delineate lane divisions? I have noticed in driving in different towns at different times of night and day and in varied weather conditions, that the use of reflectors to mark lanes are much easier to spot and identify, and there is no glare on the roadway during rainy times from the reflectors like there can be with overhead lighting. --Joyce M CoomerComments re article 58192 Wants better lighting on Bypass for additional safety 2013-03-13 15:11:41 | Comments | Printable version

Another viewpoint: Lights already on LBN are light pollution at its worst I am curious to know not just how much those lights along the new exit in Glasgow cost, but how much does it cost to keep them burning? And to rewrite an old joke, 'How many Glaswegians does it take to pay to change a lightbulb?' - PEGGY FUDGE By Peggy Fudge Commentary: There's another side of the issue I drive through the new exit at Glasgow five nights a week, and every night I am aggravated at the absurd overkill of lighting. One night I turned off my headlights while on the ramp and could tell no difference. Recently, on this overlit road, I realized some idiot was going in the wrong direction-the vehicle was heading toward me on my side of the divided road. Lighting had nothing to do with it. I am in favor of large, visible signs indicating turning lanes, and roads marked with reflective paint that is often refreshed to keep it visible.

Columbia could have a children's museum COMMENTARY A recent children's museum visitor suggests that more town's can have one available with having to drive to Louisville, Indianapolis, Cincinnati or Nashville. "Just put in revolving doors," he said, "That will take care of 90% of the children's interest. Then, if there's more money available, just add an escalator and you'll get kids interest as well as the any of the others." 2013-03-13 10:54:44 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Commentary
Suggests white lines be painted on edges of KY 92 Maury Lewis writes: I wish they would paint white lines on the edge of Hwy 92.

Maury confides: The reason I am going back to L. A. Why Maury is leaving Beautiful Joppa - it's one everyone ought to appreciate She's doing a Tv intervention Maury Lewis I wanted let Columbia Magazine readers know why I have my place in Beautiful Joppa up for sale. I have a picture of my handsome 4 month old grandson watching the races with his daddy last Sunday. My sister walked up to him to talk to him and she blocked the Tv from his sight so he leaned over to be able to see the races. I need to get down there to get him away from the TV. - melewi, aka Maury Lewis Maury - You're forgiven for going to Lower Alabama, so long as it's temporary. Other than grandkids - and maybe being conscripted into military service or to be the President of a prestigious university - we can't think of any justifiable reason to leave Adair County! Hate the brain drain, but more than appreciate your motives. - CM 2013-03-13 09:47:52 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

Wants better lighting on Bypass - for additional safety Comments re article 58175 Flashing yellow arrow traffic display to be installed William Reed writes: That's great that the KY Transportation Department recognizes our need for some additional safety devices about town. But, when are they ever going to do something about lighting along our Veterans By-pass at their various intersections. After dark, it's very dangerous to make a left turn onto the by-pass off KY 61 at the red light. Several times attempting to make that turn, I've found myself in the left turning lane there at the red light because it's pitch black and you can't see. Fortunately there's not been someone approaching that left turn lane. I've heard from many others who have done the same thing and it's high time that the state or whoever has to pay for the lights, put some out there. You drive down the Parkway from Bowling Green to Somerset and it's lit up like a Christmas tree at every exit. Don't we deserve the same measure of safety. Just my opinion. -William ReedWilliam Reed - Thanks. Great ideas. I hope there will be others thinking the same way today.

Lindsey Wilson Baseball rallies for a 6-5 win at No. 3 Lee By Dan White CLEVELAND, TN - Jeff Kerian ended a three-run eighth inning with a double to score the winning run for No. 12 Lindsey Wilson in a 6-5 win against No. 3 Lee (TN) on Tuesday at Olympic Field. While recent times have been tough for the Blue Raiders, losing four straight, Tuesday's triumph gives them wins over Nos. 1, 3, 9, 14 and 18 in the NAIA Coaches' Poll this season. Lindsey Wilson's matchup with Lee came down to two big innings. It started with the Blue Raiders taking a 3-0 lead in the fourth on a double by Manuel Ozoria to score a run and two more crossing the plate after a dropped fly ball. Lee (20-6) responded in its half of the inning with four runs coming after giving up two outs. Jordan Stewart drove in the first of the runs with a third straight single and after the bases were loaded on a walk, Brandon Rader cleared the bases with a double. Another run came home in the next inning for the home team after another double to give Lee a 5-3 lead. Two scoreless frames went by before Lindsey Wilson (14-10) put together its winning string of hits in the eighth. Leandro Perez started the comeback with a one-out double. After moving to third on a wild pitch, Perez scored on Manuel Alonso's sacrifice fly. Jeandro Andino pushed across the tying run with a single and Kerian finished Lee off with the eventual game-winning double. - Dan White 2013-03-13 05:37:26 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Sports
