August 24, 1977 Around Adair with Ed Waggener

This article first appeared in the August 24, 1977 edition of the Daily Statesman. Topics include Mayoral politics, local crime, and fad diets, among many other things.

By Ed Waggener

Columbia is number one on the list of at least one new physician, who is a native Adair Countian. Dr. Ronald C. Kelsay, the son of Hazel Kelsay and the late Samuel Kelsay, is completing his internship in El Paso, Texas at this time. He will have completed the work by June of 1978. Dr. Kelsay holds both a PhD degree and the M.D. degree.

Murphy may get endorsement
At least one possible candidate for mayor, W.R. Murphy, is about to get a newspaper endorsement, a first for Columbia, as far as I know. B.W. Bernard, the outspoken editor of the Jamestown - Russell Springs RUSSELL COUNTY NEWS (Russell County's leading newspaper) said that he might just endorse Murphy in his paper. For one thing, Bernard is a big Raymond Overstreet support, and he's thankful to Murphy for withdrawing from the race for State Representative.

Cornelia Hughes campaign gets boost
An article I wrote which appeared in yesterday's Adair County News listed 13 mayoral possibilities, including Mayor Murphy, Rollin Pyles, Coy Downey, Bob Cheatham, Rives Kerbow, Charles Marshall, Hollis Keltner, Glenno Parnell, Bill McClendon, James Reece, Don Wesley, and Cornelia Hughes.

Click headline to watch the movie trailer.

Philip Hanna writes:
Urooj Yazdani, a graduate of Adair County High School, will show her film A Destruction at the 11th Annual Flyover Film Festival. In the story in today's Courier Journal, June 16th, the story is in the Scene section about the 2019 Flyover Film festival. It would be great to sponsor a showing of the film here in town with the director present to talk about it.
A Destruction--Yazdani's 70-minute film about Humera, an 11-year old girl from a remote village off the coast of Karachi, Pakistan, who dreams of becoming a doctor--will be shown on Tuesday, July 23, 2019, at 8pmCT at Speed Cinema, 2035 South Third Street, Louisville, Kentucky. General admission is $9.

Letter: Purple Coneflower seeds

Mitzi writes:
I have plenty of Cone Flowers seeds that I would love to share. Cone Flowers are a very old flower that have been around for hundreds of years. My Grandmother Audrey Macbeth McKinley grew them in her yard for as long as I can remember.

They come back by reseeding most always. But my Grandma always said you need to keep a few for seed. Her words were, "You must always keep a few extra for the friend that never gets them to come back each year." --Mitzi
