Back of Fairplay Store could yield decade worth of college On Whittling, 'bluff cedar', college equivalency degree(s) and Fairplay's most accomplished practitioner of the art, Mr. Tommy Samuels Dave Rosenbaum writes: Hands down, the most accomplished whittler at Fairplay was Mr. Tommy Samuels. He steadfastly held that the best cedar for whittling was "bluff cedar." Bluff cedar grew more slowly and was of a closer grain producing a better whittling stick. A feller could stay in college for a decade and never learn where to get the best whittling stick but you could set in the back of the Fairplay Store and learn most of the truly important stuff. --Dave RosenbaumComments re photo 52839 Travel Forbus General Store Whitting man Roosevelt Upchurch 2013-12-22 16:51:17 | Comments | Printable version
A 16 year history of Columbia - in Christmas Cards Click on headline for album of Christmas Cards By Greg Thomas I've attached the last 16 years of Christmas cards that I've done and mailed out from Adair County. Three of these places no longer exist: The 1999 Card - Welcome to Columbia sign was on HWY 206: the 2006 Card - Iron bridge on Kemp Road has been replaced; and the 2010 Card - J. B. Buck Barbee house has just been torn down. When I sent the first card years ago I never thought I'd be doing these for this many years. I've actually had people ask me to never take them off my Christmas card list because they enjoy seeing the different historical places in Adair County.

Day Trip Travel: Another visit to Forbus General Store Because nothing on this earth is ever the same twice; different expressions, different lighting, differing amounts of time to pay attention, different weather and different aromas can spotlight areas of the same setting missed the first time around -- and that's the reason for looking at the same places over and over again. Click on headline for complete story with photo album By Linda and Ed Waggener It all started with a shared Saturday schedule and a long lunch hour. We left Columbia heading south, down Hwy. 61, for barbecue and a visit with Burkesville friends we hadn't seen in many months, Pat and Norman Hamilton. After finding them well and enjoying a robust business, we were on our way with picnic sandwiches and a question -- back home to work -- or make it a round trip? It was unanimous -- a round trip which innocently turned into a way-round trip.

Carol Perkins: That one special gift from Santa Claus 'The more I talk to people and listen to their memories, the more I realize that we all share the same ones. The characters are different but the scenes are much the same. What we all have in common is the knowledge that nothing is better than Christmas in the country. That is why I live among the pines, the oaks, and the wild turkeys and deer playing in my yard.' - CAROL PERKINS The next earlier column: Carol Perkins: Working with Santa Claus Posted Sunday, December 22, 2013 The cookies will soon be left by the tree and children will try to sleep but with great difficulty. They will hear sounds on the roof that must be more than the wind. Morning will not come soon enough for them, but with so much to do before it arrives, Mom and Dad hope for a few more hours.
