Abe has icy time at Western Kentucky University



2009-01-28 - Western Kentucky University, Bowling Green, KY - Photo by Caleb Irvin.
ICY ABRAHAM LINCOLN: Caleb Irvin of Columbia took this picture in the ice storm and writes: "The statue of Abraham Lincoln is outside on the Kentucky Building at the Western Kentucky University Campus in Bowling Green, KY. A little history about the Kentucky Building is that while the structure of the Kentucky Building was finished in 1932, the building's interior was not completed until 1939 because of funding problems. The Kentucky Building was constructed to serve as a repository for Kentucky heritage, an idea developed by Miss Gabrielle Robertson and President Cherry.

Birds of Kentucky: Chickadee lands at Tucker's Station



2009-01-28 - Bull Run Road, Columbia, KY - Photo by Barbara Armitage.
BARBARA ARMITAGE writes: "The very minute it stopped snowing this afternoon the yard at Tucker's Station was suddenly filled with birds of all types. The homemade suet bags were in demand . I think that after two days of bad weather they were hungry. I am trying to attract different species by tempting them with lots of birdie treats. This ones new. Can you tell me what it is? So far I have about 10 different birds that I can identify Id like to learn a few more before the Birding 101 class on February 7, 2009. I want to be ready for the Great Backyard Bird Count February 13-16, 2009." Editor's note: Maury Lewis identifies this bird as a Black-Capped Chickadee, which makes sense, since this was photographed less than one-half mile from Chickadee Lane off Bull Run Road. We're still waiting for Nuthatch, I guess. Sorry about the earlier editor's note ''What you have here, it looks like to me, is a nuthatch or, as we call them locally, a Sue Bird after the matron saint of nuthatches, Sue Stivers, who keeps a yard full of them and most diligently reports on them during the Great Backyard Bird Watch. I've never seen one, but they must be most delightful creaturesm as she described them to me last year. They hop down tree trunks, Sue Stivers says, which makes me think they are the Clown Princes of the bird world, occupying the same rank in birddom as Manxes do in the cat world. Thanks for being nice to them. We need all the nuthatches in Adair County we can get. Additional note: If a real ornithologist would answer Barbara Armitage's request for an ID, it would be appreciated.' It was an honest mistake. A little anticipatory, but not what would come under the crime of 'lying on the internet.' -EW

Flood, Jan. 28, 2009: Sandusky Lake



2009-01-28 - Parrott Avenue, toward Sandusky/Oak Streets, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener.
A Lake of the Moment, was created by the downpours last night and today, as the breadth of Russell Creek more than doubled and it rose to a level almost into the old Sandusky Planing Mill, across the stream. Many have memories of the buildings there, below Oak Street and Sandusky Street, have flooded, including the one which once housed the Louisville News Company's magazine distribution warehouse there. It also brings to mind what the area might look like year round if a once proposed low-water dam had been built on Russell Creek to provide a reservoir for Columbia Utilities' water plant.

Flood Jan. 28, 2009: Henson Farms Lake



2009-01-28 - Columbia Western Bypass, near Northern terminus - Photo by Ed Waggener.
What used to be corn land on Henson Farms became a lake today under the new bridge on the Columbia Western Bypass at the north end of the new road. The photo is taken from near the silo on Henson Farms, with United Citizens Bank's Campbellsville Road Branch in the center of the picture and the renovated Mike Hatcher Farms hillside holdings behind the bank. The flooding created an island, in the right hand of the photo, and an optical illusion in the fenced field on the lower left, which appears in the photo to be a rectangular pond higher than the main body of the water, but is actually on the same plane.
