Poetry by Robert Stone - To tease potential love

To tease potential love - a sonnet about elusiveness for Jon Lopez

A truth repeated seems defiant lie
to those who only hear replies they like.
Two minds will never settle on one why
while ego flarings alternating spike.

. This bullying has brought me to a point
from which I do not want to trust myself.
But I believe not all will be disjoint
and will not cease to reach for higher shelf.

The one I want to want me wants me not
while I the one who wants me do not want.
How tiresome is the weaving of each plot
to tease potential love my dreams to haunt.

I still will wander with a slender hope
of finding just enough of love to cope.

- Robert Stone, 6 July 2014

Mike Watson: The Beginning of the Avenue of Champions 2014-07-06 - Campbellsville Street at Public Square, Columbia, KY - Photo CM Staff Photo. The Winfrey Hotel - Collins Drug - Corner of the Public Square . . . By Mike Watson, Adair County Historian The beginning of an Avenue of Champions - This is the corner of Campbellsville Street - originally called Market Street, and the Public Square . . . In 1816 Nathan Montgomery, owner of the corner lot, sold it to Elijah Creel and by 1818 Creel and his brother, Elzey--who were the originators of Creelsboro, Russell County--were operating a store on the corner, from a newly constructed brick building. This same building still stands. It is the oldest structure now on the Columbia Public Square. Many businesses have been operated from these wall, including stores, a tavern and a bank. Josiah Harris operated a tavern, or hotel and eating establishment, on this corner. Israel C. Winfrey operated the Hotel on this site and it was here the devastating cholera epidemic of 1873 took hold and reduced Columbia population considerably. At the turn of the last century the Citizens Bank held out for a few short years in this building. Also, It was up Campbellsville Street to the Square that the first war dead of World War II were brought home. - MIKE WATSON Permalink \| Comments?

Dry Adair Co. has had its share of fatal alcohol related accidents

Writer asks: How does delaying the purchase of alcohol by 30 or 45 minutes make this a safer county?

Chris Knifley writes:

For the record, Adair County had 2 fatal alcohol related accidents in 2012, 1 in 2011, 1 in 2010, 0 in 2009, and 1 in 2008. Since we are using Breckinridge County as a "See, I told you so example, " in 2008 they had 1 alcohol related fatal, 3 in 2009, 3 in 2010, 0 in 2011, and 2 in 2012. All these tragedies occurred in dry counties. How does delaying the purchase of alcohol by 30 or 45 minutes make this a safer county? The stats are taken from the Kentucky Traffic Collision Facts Publication. - Chris Knifley

Jon Halsey: On logic of linking DUI with wet/dry status

Jon Halsey writes:

Yes, indeed, rescind the wet option. Also, by the same logic outlaw the sale of all motor vehicles in the county. However, the important cause of these accidents, the drivers arrested 3,4 or more times for driving impaired (by alcohol, meth or whatever) should not be restricted. The legal community is too dependent on the revenue generated and regenerated as a result of the miscreants actions. - Jon Halsey, Knifley, KY Comments re article 68375 Letter Writer links DUI with WetDry Status

Mike Watson: Early Automobiles in Adair County, Part 3

By Mike Watson

GARAGE BEING ERECTED -The George R. Page heirs are building an automobile garage for use of the Columbia Motor Car Co. It is a two and a half story erection on a foundation 35 by 65 feet and consists of the shop, waiting room, stock room, and boiler and furnace rooms on the first floor, offices, guest rooms and bath room on the second floor and other rooms for guests and storage on the third floor. The building is being constructed and equipped in strictly up-to-date style and will undoubtedly greatly facilitate both the Motor Car Co., and the public. Adair County News, 3 October 1906

Carol Perkins: Sailing on the Caribbean, Part I

It was designed for rest, which is what the Perkinses of Edmonton, KY, did. But it was not without its interesting moments - and some interesting comments from Guy Perkins, who, refusing to let some woman in a spa beat on him with a stick, announces that that will be the day Carol will know he's lost his mind

Next earlier column: Carol Perkins: The Significance of June Posted June 29, 2014

By Carol Perkins

A few weeks ago Guy and I sailed to the Caribbean on the Cardinal Dream. Passengers numbered over 3500 plus 1300 crewmembers, making the others in the fleet look like toy boats. Even with so many people aboard, I never had the feeling of being cramped, especially where I was, which was mostly on the upper deck under an eave in the shade with the ocean breeze lulling me to sleep in between chapters of my book. The goal for this trip was the rest and that is what we did. Like all my trips, however, this one was not without some interesting moments.

Happy Tail: A win at Ballyhigh horse show and a little me time

Peg Schaeffer enjoyed a rare day off from the dogcare regimen at Sugarfoot Farms last Sunday, June 29, 2014, to enjoy a visit to Ballyhigh Show Stables horse show in Versailles, KY, a victory there, and a restful time at Green River Lake

The next earlier Peg Shaeffer column: Happy Tail: Spanky, the red nose Pit Bull. Posted June 29, 2014

By Peg Schaeffer

Last Sunday I actually got to take a day off from the dogs. I went to Versailles to watch my mare, Garnet, in a horse show.

I raised Garnet from a foal. I had shown her Mom, Silver Etching, and when at a horse show in Ocala, FL, while watching the Grand Prix, I picked out her Dad. He was a handsome black horse named Graf Rossini S. He wasn't as big as the rest but his heart more than made up for it.

By Chuck Hinman

Get A Life!

Have you noticed that some people are chronic complainers? And yes, we even have them at Tallgrass Estates. They bitch about things like Oklahoma sunsets (too orangy) or daylight savings time (we already have too much sun for the roses).

Tom Chaney: Not As Seen By God Looking Down

Of Writers And Their Books: Not As Seen By God Looking Down. Tom says surely Shiloh stands among the finest novels about the Civil War, or any war for that matter. This column first appeared 5 July 2009.

By Tom Chaney

Not As Seen By God Looking Down

Were it not for the Civil War neither the South nor the nation at large would have so rich a literature. According to William Faulkner the pivotal point in southern history was July 3, 1863 at Gettysburg just before Pickett's fatal charge with hope not yet dashed -- all yet possible.
