Wants to know why youth basketball eliminated at Jim Blair 'Mr. Charlie Crawhorn has put his heart and soul into organizing this program for our community and those that do not support this, in my opinion, shouldn't be on a decision making committee, whatsoever.' - Amanda Firkins By Amanda Firkins Personal commentary I just cannot believe that the youth basketball program has been eliminated from the Jim Blair recreation center. I went there today to sign my daughter up for a basketball team that was affordable and would provide each child a fair chance at playing and was stunned to find out that no sooner than the director received the registration forms and money for the signups, after all he had put into this program, that he had to return the stack of over what looked to be 50 or more forms and give the money back to the parents. Not only has this upset more than a few of the parents in this community, but also, the many children that were excited about this program no longer have it to look forward to. I don't know why this program was cut, but I do know that Mr. Charlie Crawhorn has put his heart and soul into organizing this program for our community and those that do not support this, in my opinion, shouldn't be on a decision making committee, whatsoever. Also, I know that at least 50 or more parents, including myself, in our community would like to know why this program was cut and what the future holds for our children with people like this making decisions that do not favor youth programs? --Amanda Firkins 2013-10-03 16:36:55 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

Marlene Hamby recalls her son's 'special friend' Comments re photo 51656 Bunny is getting pretty fragile after year of hard use By Marlene Hamby That's really precious and brings back some pretty special memories of my own children at that age. The only way I could keep my son's "special friend' intact and clean was to wait until he went to sleep at night. Then I'd carefully remove his little buddy from his clutches, mend all the well-worn tears, replace any missing stuffing, and then throw it into the washer and dryer.

Henry- CM Reminiscence on seeing: Bunny is getting pretty fragile after year of hard use By Martha Berry I guess all children have a favorite toy. My Dad gave my oldest child a white bear when she was born. "Bear" has been all over the world with Toni Ann. It has lived in several states as well as in Spain when she lived there. When she moved from California to Florida several years ago, Bear sat on the console of her car all the way across the country. She is a grandmother now and still cherishes Bear even though it's body and head have been separated for years. Bear's head just balances on its shoulders wherever it sits. Bear is still a beloved part of her life. Not only was it a wonderful snuggly toy, it is a connection to her loving Grandfather. --Martha Berry 2013-10-03 11:10:06 | Comments | Printable version

He has a blossoming personality & will share kisses with you should you get close enough. On the other hand, you certainly don't want to make him mad or you could walk away covered in llama stomach acid. Toby & the other critters at the petting zoo are the 'children' of Vince & Kayla Hagedorn who reside right here in Columbia. - Suzanna StreevalThanks, Suzanna Streeval for letting Shamarie and me know; we've changed the caption, and don't you go tell Toby what we did; we don't want him mad at us!

Maury comments on vines on mailboxes Comments re photo 51653 Is there a prettier mailbox in the county Maury Lewis writes: It is beautiful, but if you are a mail person it as something that attracts creatures such as bees, spiders and in the county, snakes like to crawl up in a vine to get out of the sun. I have always wanted to plant something around my mailbox but an acquaintance of mine sent me a picture, and said "This is why we don't like things growing on mailboxes," and there was a snake laying on top of the mailbox in a beautiful vine. No, Ed, I don't have the picture; it was a very long time ago. - Maury LewisThanks - Thanks for the precaution. But I'd sure take the chance for the beauty of the mandevilla. It's gorgeous. Given, some snakes around here are not pleasant companions, but most are just doing their job, making a living, keeping down the rodent and insect populations, and making, for some good barn cats or pets. Would love to see photos of pink Mandevilla in other settings. - EW 2013-10-03 06:29:36 | Comments | Printable version

The disparity between Floyd Burton's Division 1 with 3,018, and Quin Lasley's 2,073 is approximately 50%. No action was taken on redistricting at the meeting. Mr. Harmon suggested delaying a decision until after the Adair County Fiscal Court takes action on redrawing Magisterial District maps. 2013-10-03 04:35:59 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Education
