John Campbell comments on speeding John Campbell writes: Or perhaps better stated, when does 9 become 15 ? The answer, or so it seems, when driving in a posted speed zone. As a rule of thumb drivers tend to push the envelope because many feel that as long as I drive less than 10 mph above the posted speed zone I won't get pulled over by the "Five-O". Columbia and Adair Co are sitting on a potential revenue barrel should the agencies choose to enforce the already written laws. Yet motorist push the sound barrier (tongue-in-cheek) as they zoom-zoom down the highway. This is especially dangerous to farmers on tractors, construction crews, motorcyclist, bicyclist, pedestrians, ect. not to mention the inexperienced and/or elderly (possibly handicapped) drivers whose reaction time isn't as quick as the Dale Earnhart, Jrs out here. Two sayings I've heard over the years may certainly apply: #1 "if you can't run with the big dogs... stay on the porch" and #2 "it ain't against the law when the law ain't around". - John Campbell 2013-05-26 10:02:46 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
Jim: Commencement in Columbia, 1913 II, Columbia Graded It was, 100 years ago, a far cry for the graduation ceremonies of this year. In 1913, the two high school graduating classes, one from Lindsey Wilson, the other at Columbia Graded, had a combined total of nine graduates, Jim writes in this second installment of a two part series. He says that, from the review in the newspaper, Judge H.C. Baker gave the oration of the ages. (One wonders from the glowing review of the valedictory address by Heather Jackson, 100 years later, at Adair County High School, whether the 18-year-old may have been the better speaker - with school leaders calling hers the "Best Graduation Address they ever heard. That's a question for the historians and scholars of the ages). It is evident, from the attention paid to the commencements, that Adair County was setting the standard then for the high goals of education in Adair County, today. Click on the headline for a complete look at this Jim masterpiece. - CM See also: 100 years ago - Commencement in Columbia, 1913: Part I Activities at Lindsey Wilson Training School. By JIM Commencement in Columbia, 1913 (continued) Although the Lindseyites held sway with several commencement-related events from May 9th through the 19th, 1913, the Columbia Graded School managed to slide in a couple of their own goings-on during that time frame, then added several more over a three day period.

Happy Tails: Memorial Day tribute to dogs in service Thousands and thousands of dogs have given their lives for their handlers. Dogs have served in the U.S. military during every modern war - World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, the Gulf War, in Bosnia, and in Afghanistan - as trackers, scouts, sentries, and messengers; as attack dogs, mine detection dogs, and rescue dogs. - PEG SCHAEFFER Next earlier Happy Tail: Happy Tails: May 19-25, 2013 is Dog Bite Prevention Week By Peg Schaeffer President and Founder, Sugarfoot Farms Rescue This is Memorial Day Weekend, a time to honor our soldiers who gave their lives defending our country. My father fought in World War II and my mother's first husband gave his life in that war. I grew up during the Vietnam War and my cousins served. I have a niece who is in the Air Force and there comes a time that she might be sent overseas to defend our country. I'm sure everyone reading this knows someone who has gone to war to protect us. But do you realize how many dogs have served in the armed forces and how many lives they have saved?

Steer at large stirs up placid, beautiful Joppa, KY He was nice looking fellow. Still, inquiring Maury wants to know law on roaming cattle. Suggests community steak out, with guests enjoying steer on a plate, a salad and baked potato and a large glass of Southern iced tea Maury Lewis writes: We had an adventure in our neighborhood today. Someone's steer got out, walked down Combest Drive and went on to Hwy 92. We found out who owned him and found his cell number but there was no answer. What are the laws about handling cattle? He ate and broke some trees on one person's property. I am a city girl and I do not know the laws for roaming cattle. He was a very nice looking steer and I thought he would look really good on a plate, with a salad and baked potato with a large glass of Southern tea. Maybe a community steak out YUM YUM melewi --melewiThanks Maury: Usually I'd suggest poking around in Deutoronomy for answers, especially as this is a Sabbath, this may be a case for the County Attorney or Sheriff Moss - as I assume you've already consulted higher authority in Joppa. Eating the steer might be a form of rustling. Hadn't been much of that since a few decades ago, in another end of the county. Maybe a reader will elucidate. - EW 2013-05-26 00:56:52 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
