(Free Cycling Ad) Free Ivy available 2014-10-30 - Fairplay, KY - Photo by Joyce Coomer. This ivy is taking over on the front porch at work. If anyone would like to have some to put on banks or for use in topiaries, they are welcome to get however much they want. The only thing I ask is that they take it from the top down so there won't be dead pieces left hanging close to the ceiling. I'm going to take the entire batch down in a couple of weeks. It roots easily and is winter hardy. - Joyce M. Coomer. 270-384-4495 Clicking Read More accesses notice that IVY has all been taken.

Three crosses - a view from the ark 2014-10-30 - 9401 Burkesville Road, Columbia, KY - Photo by Mike Regan. As the Ark on the knoll behind Sparksville Baptist Church was being built this past summer, this photo was taken through the forward wall framing; toward the church. Curiously, if one zooms the picture in, 3 crosses are seen, with the cross of Jesus in the center, upon the new steeple of the church. You see the cross in the framing, the steeple cross and the utility pole cross beyond the church, all in a line. Symbolically, the cross in the wall framing is now hidden; ie: the thief on Calvary that went to Heaven; the cross of Jesus atop the steeple, still a symbol of great glory that stands high around the world; and the cross of the utility pole carrying electricity, a symbol of fire and the fate of the evil thief on Calvary. What's in a photo? Many times it's more that seen at first glance! Thank you for looking....and imagining! Sent by Mike Regan, Sparksville Baptist Church, Columbia, KY.

The Giant Pencil - Maybe most unusual political ad in Kentucky 2014-10-30 - Burkesville Road at Veterans Bypass, Columbia, KY - Photo (c) ColumbiaMagazine.com. The most unusual political ad in Kentucky this year may this this giant 54' tall pencil - still awaiting its sharpened tip at the base being built by Bobby Morrison, in the bucket truck beside midway up, for the Dr. Ben Arnold, write in candidate for Mayor of Columbia. Morrison has been aided by a ground crew including his brother Dale Morrison, and above Danny Grant. Arnold said that the pencil is letting supporters know how very simple it is to write his name in on the ballot. For those who need help, he said, poll workers can help on request, but, according to Adair County Court Clerk Joyce Rodgers, they can't offer help without being asked for it. Arnold has two opponents on the ballot, former Mayor Curtis Hardwick and Columbia City Councillor June Parson. The election is now 5 days off, long enough to see many changes in standings. - CM (c) Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

New Adair Co., KY bus garage similar to this one 2014-10-30 - Adair County School District Campus - Photo photo courtesy Sherman, Carter & Barnhart. Gabe Jones, architect with the Sherman, Carter Bernhart in Lexington, KY, presented this drawing of a bus garage done elsewhere, similar to one the firm recommends for Adair County, but with the layout reversed. The Metal Building will for Adair will have three service bays instead of the four shown above, but will include an outside, covered bus washing bay on the end. Supt. Alan Reed said that the office, shown on the right above, would be where the wash bay is above, and vice versa. To improve the esthetics, he hopes that windows can be added for the office area. The new bus garage will pay for itself in a few years, he said, through savings by buying standard buses, and in turn, on reducing the number of buses needed on field trips. The new facility will have plug in diesel fuel warmers at each parking slot, making start up in cold weather easier and less costly. The building will be built on property recently acquired from the Sherman and Sherman Wayne Burton. Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
