Scenic Taylor Co., KY: Portrait of a Tebbs Bend cow



2009-03-16 - Tebbs Bend Road, Taylor Co., KY - Photo by Shamarie Claiborne.
"Found this beauty on Tebbs Bend today," an ecstatic Shamarie Claiborne writes. the treasure was found on a trip around Green River Lake on Sunday, March 15, 2009. Some may wonder about Shamarie Claiborne's almost Hinduistic fascination with cows. It's not really that extreme. They enjoy hamburgers and milk in the The Holler, but she just sees character in faces to an extraordinary way. Cows are special to her, and she captures their individuality, their personalities in a wonderful way. The cow is a beauty, whether her pretty curls are natural or from a salon.

The money had been promised in the last days of the Gov. Ernie Fletcher Administration, and was, initially stopped by the current administration, but, on orders from Gov. Beshear, was re-instated. At left is C-AC Airport board member Howard Loy; at right, board member Darrell Carter. Mr. Rarey announced at the press conference held Monday, March 15, 2009, at 4:00pmCT that the paving around the hangar is complete at a cost of around $40,000. The board received gifts of $10,000 from the Adair Fiscal Court and the Columbia City Council. Mr. Rarey said concrete was used because of its longer life expectancy and the fact that recent surges in the cost of blacktop meant the more durable material concrete cost only a few dollars more.
