Rhubarb conjures up pie in my past 2017-09-11 - Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. The sight of beautiful rhubarb "pie plant" conjures up rhubarb pies of the past (phrase inspired by Betty Sue Jasper's famous phrase with her classic picture of blackberries of nearly a decade ago "I see a cobbler in my future"). Rhubarb grew in abundance in a long row in Mother's "Little Garden" on Jamestown Hill, and Rhubarb was the main ingredient for many cobbler desserts. Seems that fewer and fewer restaurants offer rhubarb now, though we used to see it quite regularly when in season here. But thinking of the plant as merely a dessert item is a very narrow view. There are many, many uses for the stalks, enumerated in this article: Wikipedia_Rhubarb. By the way, some articles suggest using the leaves, whose toxicity is quite high, as pot cleaners. And by the way, rhubarb is an easy-to-grow townie garden or yard or raised bed landscape accent project. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Will Walker, a going places rising star 2017-09-10 - Knifley Emmaus Campground, 12190 Knifley Road, Knifley, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. Will Walker is a going places rising star, but only under the watchful eye of his dad, James Walker, left, aided by Kevin Burton. (Yes, for those who know Kevin, the name is pronounced "Keevin," by proper Vestertonians, but Kevin said that he's given up on trying to square the pronunciation with the spelling, and simply tells people is name is "Kev-in.") Just a few minutes earlier, the booth had a state visit from another rising star, Kasey Blue Kessler. Looks like Adair County has no shortage of future leadership. - EW.
