Reflections in the Little Barren 2019-09-12 - Sulphur Well Park, Metcalfe County, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. After you sip a drink of sulphur water from the artesian well flowing at the Sulphur Well Park, Metcalfe County, KY, you may look across the Little Barren River and see these trees artfully arranged on the edge of the water, making interesting reflections. If you have never sipped from this well it should be on your weekend list of things to do. In days gone by, the water was believed to have healing powers. Some of us natives still do. Here's a poem for a smile, written in days gone by the hermit of Sulphur Well, Walter Matthew Scroggy, known by all as "Uncle Matt". It was printed in the CM print issues before it became a 24/7/365 internet magazine. - LW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Her artist statement says, “I am passionate about animation and comics. They are greatly unappreciated art forms and much more versatile than people give them credit for. I was born in Nagoya, Japan, and I am part Japanese on my mother's side. I’ve been consuming Japanese pop culture my entire life.” Her work can be seen during the The Adair County Arts Council exhibit of works by local artists, underway in the Lucretia C.
