Martin & Viny Rowe side yard will be Raider Band Practice Field 2011-08-09 - Miller Avenue, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Everyone wondering what Danny Pyles of Pyles Excavating has been doing at the Martin and Viny Rowe side yard on Lindsey Wilson Street can rest easy: It's not a parking lot. The yard is being leveled for a practice field for the Lindsey Wilson Marching Band, headquartered just a block away at the corner of Holloway DR and Williams ST. When the site is complete, maybe as early as Tuesday, August 9, or Wednesday, August 10, 2011, it will have a carpet of green grass. Roadway runoff will be routed under the field. The practice field will be one-half the length of the football field at Raider Stadium, Mr. Pyles said. It will simulate the 35 yard to 35 yard line center of the field. The big cream colored house beyond the trackhoe and dump truck which is now an office of Lindsey Wilson Athletics. It was the long time residence of Mr. Martin Rowe, for many years the most powerful political figure in Adair County. Republican primary candidates rarely filed until they sought his blessing here, whether they expected to receive it or not. Woe be to the upstart who didn't ask! Mr. Rowe was a one-time sheriff who, at the start of his term, refused to carry a gun. He was also the longtime owner of the Corner Drug in Columbia, now the location of The Flower Garden. He was so progressive that he would be have been too liberal for Wisconsin Democrats. His wife served as Columbia Postmaster in the late 1950s, following the retirement of Postmaster Billy Wilson. On the left is the historic one time home of the late Morgan Pepper, considered the greatest checker player of his age in Adair County. Other homes seen, in the distance on Miller Avenue are the one time home of David Caldwell, now a Grider Property apartment complex; and the one time home of Jimmy Maupin, at the Miller Avenue intersection with Jamestown ST.
