Columbia icon with Greek influence joins two traditional ones 2011-08-19 - From Young and Fairground Streets, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. People from across America know where Columbia, KY, is when they see the Lindsey Wilson Blue Raider Busses rolling along the highways. They are huge billboards for the school and Columbia, KY. Another icon is the famed Begley Chapel, top of photo, now joined by another scene which will become a symbol for the community, the School of Nursing/School of Professional Counseling Building in the center. It's not derivative, but it is a reminder of another symbol of another Greek influenced structure, the Columbia Baptist Church. More than one person has said that the sight of the lighted edifice, seen from the 1000 mile point on Campbellsville RD reminded them of the Parthenon of Nashville (and the old one in Athens, Greece), and always meant, "Almost home. Almost to Columbia!" The bus is parallel to Fairground ST, in the lower parking lot. The packed lots at the school are an instant signal that Columbia is energized again; again, for the longer seasons, Lindseyville, as much as it is a reminder of the need for a whole new way of looking at giving substance to the city's claim to be a leader in energy conservation and energy use.

Don't even THINK of stealing the ACHS (Missing) Totem Pole! 2011-08-19 - Somewhere down on Russell Creek, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. The treasure is guarded: Anyone bent on evil intent re: the "Missing," Old ACHS Totem Pole will have to get past Mr. and Mrs. Brown - Buster and Sandy - who will put the frighteners on any ne'er do wells who try to get to the treasure, secreted away so well that this reporter has passed near it hundreds of times without realizing it until sister Fay McKinley unfolded the whole story yesterday. An additional word of caution: Mr. and Mrs. Brown are just the tip of the security iceberg. They are the initial shock and awe defense, but they are backed up by the even more terrifying Augie, et al. -Uncle Ed Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Loveliest of Flowers now: The Ironweed now 2011-08-19 - Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Ironweed is CM's nominee for National Flower of Adair County, or at least national fall flower. The beautiful plant is abundant here. This picture is of our limited crop on Fortune Street, which gives only a hint of its beauty on some massive acreages here. Could be the plant is so appreciated because it is a cue that the best season of the year, fall, is sincerely here. Could be, it's appreciated in much the same way as the theme songs for Our Gal Sunday and Helen Trent were when we were kids. Most of us never listened to the radio soaps, but they meant a great lunch was being prepared by our mothers in finally cool kitchens after a long hot, summer and that sublime orthodox sandwich of sliced ham, iceberg lettuce, real White bread as sweet as angel food cake, with both slices generously slathered with Miracle Whip, accompanied by a made from scratch hot soup with left over jam cake and washed down with glasses of farm fresh ice cold milk, delivered in glass gallon jugs to the doorstep that morning. Or it could be the anticipation of the utility of the iron weed after the blooms disappeared, when the stalks attained ultimate utility as pull from the ground weapons of no destruction, used as missiles by boys, or, for advanced males, as the framework for a grass covered Indian teepee. That's just a few of the reasons why we nominate Ironweed for the National Flower of Adair County. -Ed Waggener Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
