Carol Perkins: Cures for sleepless nights Previous Column: Getting a second opinion By Carol Perkins When Eme (our granddaughter) was young, she fought sleep. One night Guy took her for a ride. "I drove all the way to Glasgow and back with her talking. She pointed out houses that she liked and never stopped talking." Parents (and grandparents) have been riding sleepless kids around as long as we have had vehicles. The sound of tires against the blacktop is soothing. On many of my sleepless nights, I have suggested Guy take me for a ride. Parents often try many methods (some unconventional) at naptime or bedtime. One of my aunts wore out a vacuum cleaner. The sound must have been soothing. This was an Electrolux machine with a long tank and even longer hose, dating back to the fifties. (Salesmen sold door-to-door back then, and most women bought after the machine suctioned up so much dirt off the floor!) A sleeping child was worth the expense.

Park goals examined in meeting with Henson Columbia Mayor Pam Hoots and volunteers met with landscape architect Darren Henson last week to view possibilities for the 17-acre park on Burkesville Street. In his career Henson, an Adair County native, has helped many cities in Tennessee and Kentucky develop areas for safe public use and enjoyment for all age groups. From the survey done last year, dreams for the park - as grants can be obtained - include: a walking track, play area, benches, a dog park, restrooms, native plantings, and some form of history documentation for educational purposes, possibly like the ghost buildings at the Blue Herron Railway park.
