Life in the Holler: Ending up something's supper An essay, a life lesson Click on headline for item with photo(s) The difference an hour can make. A fellow (I named Hopper) was hanging out minding his own business. Hopper was having a pretty decent day. Got his picture taken and was about to be famous, but unbeknownst to him or the photographer, a spider (I named Viper) had other plans. Yet, if you look at the situation from the view of the Viper, he ending up having a great day! He was lucky enough to catch enough food to feed himself for a week. Guess it all depends on whose view you like on something as to whether something is horrible or a blessing. 2013-08-11 15:43:47 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Shamarie Claiborne - Life in the Holler

Backyard Oil: Links to Backyard Oil Stories Jimmy Reliford was a business success beyond all Adair County measure. He was also a master of wit-matching games from high stakes checkers to cards. He was a man whose enjoyment of life, charisma, and humor endeared to Adair Countians in a way few others have. He broke the 'envy glass ceiling' which, before his time meant even modest wealth was criticized. And maybe, because of him, life for the most successful in our midst, is much better today than it was before he hit it big. Maybe now, dreams of all Adair County kids are boundless. With it all, there was a theatrical side in what he did. Most of us never saw him happier than when the show, "Backyard Oil," won him additional international fame, and focused the attention of the world on Columbia. Pen has search our archives and found several links to stories on CM. Here is the list we have this afternoon, Sunday, August 11, 2013:

Remembering Jimmy Reliford (d. August 10, 2013) Almost immediately after the death of Jimmy Reliford, the news spread throughout South Central Kentucky, and indeed, around the world. In Columbia, some remarked that the news was the only thing being talked about in Adair County. Few lives have had the impact or so fascinated the community as Jimmy Reliford. It is a sad time for the community, whose prayers are being lifted up for those who will miss him most, his family and the close, close friends he made in his boyhood and which remained intact throughout his life. A fellow oilman sent two links, early this Sunday morning. CM has also posted a tribute from Larry Smith. The links is below.

Melissa Stone: The Gifts of Gradyville There comes a realization that the best "things" to give a child are not things at all. By Melissa Stone First Posted on CM five years ago, July 8, 2008 I think we, as adults, are often preoccupied with giving to the children in our lives bigger and better "things". We all do it. We all seem to want our children to have all the conveniences that we claim to never have had. My trip to Gradyville, Kentucky, was an afterthought A recent trip to Gradyville, Kentucky reminded me of something that we all know--we just sometimes tuck it way back in our mind where it's not as easily accessed, as it should be. That "something" is the realization that the best "things" to give a child are not things at all.
