Kentucky Color: Survivalist Red Cedar

Click on headline for introduction plus photos(s

By Billy Joe Fudge

I was thinking that Columbia Magazine just cannot go through one day without at least a couple of photos and I knew the ones which would be perfect. This Eastern Red Cedar overlooking Russell Creek just downstream from the Green Hills Road Bridge is an exemplar to the idea that conditions need not be perfect for one to be successful. -Billy Joe Fudge

Tom Chaney R747: From the Panama Canal to Elkhorn Creek

By Tom Chaney

"From the Panama Canal to Elkhorn Creek"(By Way of Horse Cave)

I had a fine opportunity to spend a few moments with Judge John Palmore, retired justice of the Kentucky Supreme Court, whilst in Frankfort at the book fair a couple of months ago. He was kind enough to inscribe a copy of his new autobiography for me and to reminisce a bit about our common home town, Horse Cave.

Poetry by Robert Stone: The give and take of growing - a sonnet

The give and take of growing
-a sonnet for the distracted
Escape is early in our restless ways.
The easy comforts of the day's routine
may long delay the moments that amaze
desires concealed in flesh and blood machine.

Quick capture keeps the steady in control.
The difficult repeats of tasks unnamed
may mask the untamed glories that would roll
intentions trained by narrow lane straight framed.

Restraint resisted needs a constant care.
The impulse to create so fragile strong
may close approach perfection that will snare
designs unshared because of some small wrong.

Embrace the give and take of growing well
and form with love your heaven and your hell.

- Robert Stone, 29 January 2012

Click around, click more: For a whole 'nother world on CM

Clicks on CM will expand your universe: Clicks Count on CM. This Sunday could we suggest a few extra minutes curled up with your Kindle, iPad, laptop, or home computer taking a few extra minutes to Click Around a few times to see what all is in our archives.

If you haven't tried it before,
  • Click on Headlines to see entire stories plus linked photos. (Surprisingly, just this past year one of our most popular, feature length columnists was told, " really like your stories on ColumbiaMagazine.com, but why are they so short." the reader didn't realize that a RotoMagazine length feature was a Headline Click ahead.
  • Click on ads which interest you Quite often they tell so much more. The ad may take you to the advertiser's home page. (If it doesn't link, you'll know when it doesn't advance. For instance, Clicking on the "AIM" ad for Lindsey Wilson College takes the reader to "Adults in Motion." Clicking on Campbellsville University ad takes one to that school's landing page. And clicking on "Edward D. Jones" let's you learn more about Columbia's EDJ..
There are many more places where Clicking Counts, these are just two of the ways that Clicking More pays off. Of course we have a selfish motive The clicks make our site work for the advertisers. And we are able to keep the site online only through their patronage and support - but we only get repeat business if it works for them. -EW

JIM: Ben Carter, Overland to Santa Fe - Part 4 of 5

EARLIER installments in this fascinating narrative written by an Adair Countian :

By JIM

In 1850, Adair County native Ben Carter, then a stripling lad of eighteen, took leave of the familial hearth and home in Breeding, Ky. and went west, briefly settling in Missouri until the spring of 1851, when he embarked on an adventure of a lifetime. Sixty years later, the Adair County News published a series of five letters from Mr. Carter which detailed his journey - an overland trip from Kansas City to Santa Fe.

Your humble transcriber took the liberty of correcting minor typographical errors; correcting and adding minor punctuation for clarification; and in a few instances, adding information in parentheses for clarification. The final installment will include a brief biographical sketch of Mr. Carter.

Chuck Hinman: IJMA 098 : The Watkins Man story

Chuck Hinman's story about the days of the home delivery salespeople will resonate with people everywhere who recall their own Watkins salesperson. In Columbia, there was a Watkins lady who parked her Model A on the Jamestown Street side of town with containers of Watkins products on the hood. There were Watkins, Raleigh, Jewel T, and unbranded Overland Stores - drummers in panel trucks - from a mercantile group now reduced to mostly the Schwan's man. In all likelihood, the idea is not so much dead as it is less personalized. Truth be known, the volume of home delivery today far exceeds that of the past, but it's done with Kindle's and iPads and the US Post Office and the UPS man. Efficient, but not so personal, as illustrated in another of Chuck Hinman's wonderful columns. -EW
 The next earlier Chuck Hinman column is: Chuck Hinman: IJMA No. 195: The passing of the dining roomBy Chuck Hinman

The economic distress of the times (1927-1942) caused every one to scramble to make ends meet.

The most desperate, and there were lots of them, were reduced to door to door begging. A step or two above begging were the door to door peddlers who sold everything from A to Z. A friend recently wrote of a man who walked the streets of Omaha with an adorable Shetland pony selling pony rides for a buck a ride. On large city streets people would sing or dance with a tin can nearby for a casual nickel or dime from a person whose heart had been touched by the performance. Sometimes the skill displayed was good but most often, very modest. One thing you could be sure of was that the need was genuine.
