Lanterns & Tombstones Tour at Bearwallow was a success Click headline for photos from the Bearwallow tour. Much of Friday, May 2, 2025, was a rainy, dreary, cool day. The Lanterns & Tombstones Tour with Dave Thomas and Mike Watson was scheduled to take place at Bearwallow Cemetery starting at 7pm. We were all doubtful, but hopeful, that the weather would break and the tour could go on. It was long awaited by many. We do not like to cancel our tours until the last minute, on the spot, and only if it is raining or storming. Friday was a typical wait-and-see evening. Folks started coming into the parking lot. The sky still shed drops of cold rain. We waited and by 6:50--normally when we would make the announcement--the drops ceased, or nearly, and the tour went on as planned. Here are a few photos of the event... --Mike & Dave, and our long-suffering spouses, Renea and Amy Click here to share, print, or bookmark this article. 2025-05-06 12:39:52 | Comments
Cattle producers celebrated during Beef Month in Kentucky From Madison Pergrem Frankfort, KY - Kentucky cattle producers and industry representatives joined Kentucky Commissioner of Agriculture Jonathan Shell on Monday, May 5, 2025, as he signed a proclamation commemorating the month of May as Kentucky Beef Month. "With 869,000 head of beef cattle in the Commonwealth, Kentucky remains the state with the largest beef inventory east of the Mississippi River," Commissioner Shell said. "We retain that title with the hard work of our cattle farmers. I ask that Kentuckians join me in recognizing their effort, diligence, and perseverance as we celebrate May as Kentucky Beef Month."

Storm Alert Center reporting and classes Daniel Wilson of Russell Springs has been reporting on Mother Nature's weather for a number of years and he also regularly holds classes to help people learn how to avoid problems, and stay safe in bad times, and be aware of seasonal changes. He shared on his Storm Alert Center Facebook page that this weekend's weather is all part of "blackberry winter". This is folklore in Kentucky and other states, but usually holds true that a cold period will come during these times. Redbud and dogwood are generally the first two mentioned from April until first part of May. Generally speaking, we should be frost free by the second week of May signaling a start of serious planting/gardening.

Adair County Schools mourn the loss of David King From Jason C. Faulkner, Superintendent Adair County Public Schools In Memory of David King With heavy hearts, we share the devastating news of the passing of David King, a sixth-grade student at Adair County Middle School. David's life was tragically cut short in an accident involving a drunk driver. Last night, via social media, his mother has shared that David's organs were donated. A remarkable and selfless gift that will give others a chance at life, even as his family and our community grieve. Heartbreakingly, David is the third Adair County student to be lost in a drunk driving accident this year. These tragedies are a painful reminder of how critical it is for all of us to make responsible choices. We extend our deepest condolences to David's family and loved ones during this unimaginable time. Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers in the days ahead. Grief counselors and support staff will be available at Adair County Middle School to support students and staff. No memorial services announcements have been made but we will be sure to share them once we are notified. With all of our love, Jason C.

Kentucky Color: Aqua turquoise By Billy Joe Fudge One of the oddest and most beautiful colors found in nature is paraded on Eastern Red Cedar in late Winter and Spring. I call it aqua turquoise! Eastern Red Cedar is a dioecious species, meaning the male and female reproductive flower parts are on separate trees. Both trees have cones. The male has cones that hold the pollen and aren't very showy. These cones break open in late Winter or early Spring releasing the pollen which is carried on the wind to pollinate the more colorful cones found on the female trees. These female cones appear to be closed which would mean that pollination has occurred and the seeds are developing inside these most beautiful berry-like cones.

Help prevent Human Trafficking Derby Weekend Call 1-888-373-7888 or text 233733 to report suspected trafficking First Lady Britainy Beshear and the Kentucky State Police (KSP) are raising awareness about human trafficking and educating the public on how to identify and report it.

Human trafficking involves the exploitation of individuals through force, fraud or coercion. As many as 24.9 million men, women and children are sold into prostitution, domestic servitude or other forced labor around the globe. KSP states that human trafficking becomes a higher concern surrounding large events due to the increase in both foot and vehicular traffic.
