Their discussions include news of family, friends, current events and their pets – Lois has “a plain dog”, Jeanette says she’s “the only one without a dog,” but she has a Goldfish, Jessie has a yellow Lab, and Laveta has a little Bichon Frise.

C/AC Airport now a campus; needs more parking, bus turn around - XIX 2016-07-10 - Columbia/Adair County Airport, 735 Country Club Road, Columbia, KY - Photo By Ed Waggener. The Columbia City Council has voted to pay half the cost for a culvert and in-kind work to fill in the drainage ditch to make approximately nine more parking spaces at the Columbia/Adair County Airport, pending like approval by fiscal court. The airport will provide classroom space for the new Aviation/Aerospace Academy at Adair County High School as well as for Metcalfe County's Aviation/Aerospace program. Columbia/Adair County Airport Board Chairman Chris Janes said that at the time of the improvements, a new bus turnaround can be provided. The C/AC Airport also has a gift of a free courtesy car, if insurance is provided. The City of Columbia has agreed to do so; Fiscal Court has not yet. The airport is a a key element in Economic Development, and the air board is hoping that enough magistrates will come through that both the additional parking and the courtesy car can become a reality. One person, not an air board member, has written to CM on the subject, but would permit a statement only on condition of anonymity at this time, "The airport is not doing well, like a lot of our infrastructure, due to lack of love and care from its joint owners, city and county government. The fiscal court seems to have little interest in meeting its obligation, as half owner, to help it grow and prosper. This is, yet, another sad statement on the leadership from the majority of our magistrates. Eventually we will pay a big price for the lack of effort." - CM.

Epicurean Kentuckian: Sweet Corn, 57 seconds in boiling water 2016-07-10 - Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com (c). For cooked corn on the cob, the sweet varieties have such high sugar content, such low starch that it's cooked and ready to slather with butter after a 57 second baptism in boiling water, as these two years, from Holly Kern's stall at the Adair Farmers Market, where prepared. But now we learn that not only is fresh sweet corn used in salads, as served in the Coburg restaurant, but many folks eat raw corn off the cob, straight from the field, with absolutely no cooking. The Chipped Jalopeno peppers are gratuitious for this dish, but were used liberally in a salad. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
