January 13, 1978 Around Adair with Ed Waggener

The article below first appeared in the January 13, 1978 issue of the Daily Statesman. Topics included the note-burning at Fairview Baptist, kids today, the SASE--a concept that once was in every newspaper, magazine, and comic book, but didn't survive the Age of Internet--and a Jamestown Street contraction, "p'liking," that hadn't even made it to the 1970s. --Pen

Fairview Baptist - A successful congregation
There was a big day Sunday, for the congregation of Fairview Baptist Church, located just beyond the Adair-Russell County line on Highway 55 South of Columbia. The congregation burned the last note against its handsome, brown brick sanctuary, built some three years ago. Originally, the new building, which has Sunday School classrooms in the basement, cost $80,000.

It's a country church, and the note-burning Sunday was an old-fashioned day of Sunday School, preaching, gospel singing, and dinner-on-the-ground.

Only it wasn't on the ground, but inside Sunday noon. The pastor, Rev. Roger Popplewell, preaches every other Sunday. He also pastors Walnut Grove in Casey County. But that doesn't mean that the half-time church is small.

By rural standards, it is one of the best-attended in the area, with some 140-150 there each Sunday there is preaching. On Note-Burning-Sunday, the crowd was estimated at 225. "It's a good church," says Adair County School Superintendent Al Sullivan, who is a member there. "When our congregation decides to do something, they do it!" And he cited the three year payoff of the building and the method the church used to buy a piano. Member Sullivan simply told the congregation that he thought the church ought to have a new piano. The other members agreed, and the money for the new instrument was raised on the spot. They're still growing, this pay-as-you-go, old-fashioned group of worshippers. Their next goal: Worship services every Sunday. My bet (if that's not sacrilegious), is that they'll make it.

You can learn things, even dumb things, no matter how old you get
I am almost 38 years old. And the other night I learned something new: How to play jacks.

Why is baking so much harder in Liberia?

By Pen

The gray skies, short days, and drop in temperatures recently caused a yearning for fresh-baked bread. The federal holiday in January gave enough time for me to look up an old favorite bread recipe, No Knead Artisan Bread from natashaskitchen.com.

There are only four ingredients in Natasha's recipe: water, salt, yeast, and flour. I remembered it as plenty easy for a baking novice like myself to follow.

When I got to the line in Natasha's ingredients that says "375g of flour (measured correctly)," I thought, "Easy! Just break out the digital scale." Then I noticed that the other ingredients were measured in cups and in fractions of tablespoons.

Sun's coming up on Groundhog Day

By Linda Waggener

The sun is coming up in a cloudless sky this Sunday, February 2, 2020, and the legend says if a groundhog wakes up, comes out of its hole and sees its shadow, there will be six more weeks of winter.

If it happens that way it will be interesting since we've had no winter weather here since the light snow in November.

Groundhog Day is part of our culture, observed February 2 annually in the United States and Canada.
