ADAIR Band supporters swarm Square - best reception yet It was the best coming home reception ever. And know matter how many times they win, "It just gets more emotional every year," as Charlene Cowan said. Click on headline for full story and photo(s) By Ed Waggener Thirty minutes before arrival of the 2015 Bands of America Class A Champion Adair County Marching Band, it looked for awhile as though the crowd would be down this year. But in very quick order every available parking place was taken and the streets were line with one of the largest, most enthusiastic receptions any band has ever received. Despite owning the most impressive record in Kentucky, there's still a choke, still goosebumps as the kids bring yet another major title back to town. As Charlene Cowan said, trying so hard not to shed a tear in public, "It just gets more emotional every year." She's not out of the active band business, but she's still a strong supporter. Her daughters graduated way back when - Chasity Cowan in 2008, and Megan Cowan in 2011.

Comment: Past UPcited, angry at education commissioner I'm beyond being UPcited about the education commissioner's indefensible act of denying an Arts and Humanities Career Pathway for Adair County students. I hate what seems to be a prevailing attitude in this state that art represents very fiew job opportunities and otherwise just hobby areas. By Linda Marcum Waggener Mom tells of a woman who coined a fine phrase years ago that we have adopted and often use. Her acquaintance, trying not to rile her jealous husband, would say, "He lah-bl ta get UPcited and have a haht-attack!" Use of this term often helps us break tension in our house and gets a chuckle as we try to remain calm at our tender ages and states, trying to avoid haht attacks. I am past UPcited, however, and simply keeping a slow burn over the commissioner of education denying our students a career pathway in the arts. A man with the wisdom of 100 years of life, Kentucky historian laureate Dr. Thomas Dionysius Clark (1903-2005), said in an interview before his death, "... For Kentuckians to live a Full Life, Do Something in the Arts ~ Feed Your Spirit, Develop Your Personality ..." - Dr. Thomas D.

Tom Chaney: I Don't Go To Church - Kneeling Bags my Nylons Of Writers And Their Books: "I Don't Go To Church -- Kneeling Bags my Nylons." Tom reviews the Billy Wilder film Ace in the Hole starring Kirk Douglas as a bent reporter out for a scoop and Jan Sterling as the restless wife of a robber of sacred relics trapped in a cave, comparing it with the story of Floyd Collins. This column first appeared 16 January 2011. The next earlier Tom Chaney column: Shaken, not Stirred By Tom Chaney "I Don't Go To Church -- Kneeling Bags my Nylons" I was pleased to find under the Christmas tree this year a movie which I had long wanted to see. 'Twas the Billy Wilder film Ace in the Hole starring Kirk Douglas as a bent reporter out for a scoop and Jan Sterling as the restless wife of Richard Benedict, the scoop, who is trapped beneath a New Mexican mountain. Over the years I had heard Ace in the Hole cited as one treatment of the Floyd Collins story along with its remake release The Big Carnival. Actually only one movie, retitled by the studio, it was not particularly successful when released in 1951 Nonetheless the Collins connection has intrigued me.
