Phyllis Greenough: Robbed at gunpoint, but still at work 2014-02-04 - 14332 Burkesville Rd, Breeding, KY - Photo By Ed Waggener. Just 15 days ago, Phyllis Greenough was standing at this very counter when a man waring a hoodie came in and told her to put the money in a bag. "Are you joking?" she asked him. She said he pulled a gun, cocked it, and said, "No." He got all the money in the cash draw, hurriedly left the building. She didn't watch what he did, she said, "I was busy calling 911. It was over in 47 seconds," she said. She said she learned that the robber ran to a waiting four wheeler where another individual was waiting, took off and fire a gun into the air (maybe not in that exact order. She's just hoping the case isn't forgotten and the the two are caught. Breeding has been her home for the last eight years. She's originally from Homer, in upstate New York, between Syracuse and Binghampton. She isn't at all scared after the experience, she said. "I survived cancer, I can survive this." Apparently, Tuesday, when this photo was taken, nobody else in the community was afraid, either. Brooks Davis's store was packed, and Phyllis and one other cook were dishing out some real good hamburgers, fish sandwiches and fries as fast as they could make them. The robbery is being investigated by the Adair County Sheriff's office. Anyone with information is asked to contact the Adair County Sheriff's office at 270-384-2776.

City Council meeting review options with General Fund problems 2014-02-04 - City Hall, 116 Campbellsville Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Municipal Revenue. This graph, included in a detailed analysis of the City of Columbia's Financial situation, was presented by Lile Cheatham and Debra Stearman, principals in Municipal Revenue Solutions, LLC, of Greensburg, KY to the Columbia City Council at its regular February 3, 2014, meeting. While no action was taken at the meeting, all council members and Mayor Mark D. Harris appeared open to options which would alter the downward slide of the City's cash reserves, which has dropped from around $2 million in January of 2009, to just over $500,000 four years later, in January of 2013. While the study is considered by many in the community as a pretext for raising taxes - with the most frequently mentioned new revenue source being a payroll tax - the Council has approached it as more or a diversification or "balancing" of revenue sources.

Kentucky Color - More than an old fence 2014-02-04 - Harveys Ridge, S Adair County, KY - Photo by Billy Joe Fudge, Retired District Forester, KY State Division of Forestry. We Country Folk tend to simplify things by taking them down to the lowest common denominator and farm indentification of this nature is a prime example. This is a property line fence between the Rudolph Bragg place and the Wilbert Stotts place two miles out Harvey's Ridge. The names are of the folks that owned the farms while I was growing up and is how my parents generation identified these farms. - Billy Joe Fudge Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Scenic Adair Co., KY: Guy-wire from heaven? 2014-02-04 - Dug Hill, KY 704, Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, CM photo. It is looking down on a bit of Heaven on Earth as we know it - the Crocus Creek Valley in Adair and Cumberland Counties as seen from a lookout on Dug Hill on KY 704 south of Fairplay. It wasn't noticeable looking at the valley, trying to center the highway's disappearance in the distance in the photo, but a utility line, in the picture looks as thought it is a guy-wire from heaven, steadying and holding up the gorgeous scene below. - CM Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
