Epicurean Kentuckian: Gradyville Gooseberries are very good They're even better cold, she says There's a wonder around CM Central: Could Columbia be the Gooseberry Capital of Kentucky someday? Could this crop discovery by Debbie and Danny Burris put Adair County in the national spotlight? Just wondering. By Maury Lewis I bought that basket of the gooseberries and they are very good, but they have little stems on both ends that you have to pull off before you eat them. I had never seen a gooseberry before. I ate them just like you see them in the picture. I put them in the fridge and they were even better cold. melewi --maury Comments re photo 50201 A new item for this area Gooseberries 2013-07-01 12:40:15 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Food
Trends just seem to lag a bit before getting here Story from Greensburg illustrates the case for the entire region South Central Kentucky has always taken comfort in not having to hit the future head on, on not being early adopters, of not having the terrible responsibility of setting trends for the rest of the country. The economy has always trailed the rest of the country. The late Cotton Phelps made a fortune realizing that recessions are late arriving here and so are recoveries. Adair Countian Mike Neal, whose insurance interests are nationwide, said the rest of the country is picking up steam economically, but good times haven't hit here, though they will, just later. A friend of his in Greensburg sums it up for the whole region. "Over here in Greensburg," he told Neal. "We're always behind. We haven't even had the millenium yet - and I hear it's going to be rough." 2013-07-01 12:33:31 | Comments | Printable version
Adair Co. School District campus smoke-free Effective Today: Policy applies to outside as well as inside buildings By Alan W. Reed, Superintendent Beginning today, Monday, July 1, 2013, all Adair County schools and the entire campus is smoke-free. The new policy applies to everyone, including school board employees and parents, and prohibits using or having tobacco products on campus or at school functions. This new policy ensures the adults on our campus will model a tobacco-free lifestyle for our students. It also supports health lessons taught in classrooms and will prepare students for workplaces with tobacco-free policies. The policy will keep students and adults from being exposed to secondhand smoke, which can trigger asthma attacks and affects overall health. We have all witnessed lives shortened in our own families from smoking or using tobacco. I hope that if you still use tobacco products that you will enroll in one of a number of smoking cessation classes. I have been most pleased that some of our own employees have initiated classes by our own employees and offered through the Adair County Health Department. Alan W. Reed, Superintendent Adair County Schools 1204 Greensburg Street Columbia, KY 42728 270-384-2476 2013-07-01 11:38:20 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Healthy Lifestlyes by Kelli Bonifer

Critique: Robert Brock performance of Mark Twain outstanding! Remarkable actor deserves a much better turnout by the community By Debra Wimmer Last night's performance of Mark Twain by Robert Brock was outstanding! We were entertained with stories of Huck Finn and General Grant, as well as our very own Mary Lampton, Twain's mother and native of Columbia. The performance will be repeated again on Sundays, July 7,14, and 21,2013 at 7pmCT at the V.P. Henry Auditorium at Lindsey Wilson College. Our only disappointment for the evening was the poor turnout by the community. Let's see if we can show this remarkable actor the attention he deserves for his future performances. - Debra Wimmer 2013-07-01 10:23:05 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Local Arts Scene
