Question: What does it mean to hat rack a tree? Comments re article 45445 Rescue Mission Complete Family is back homeWendy Butler Burt writes: What does it mean to "hat rack" a tree? - Wendy Butler BurtThat's a question for Barbara Armitage and M.E. Lewis or Billy Joe Fudge. We do have a photo of a typical hat racked tree, but no explanation as to why it's called that. -EW 2011-07-09 19:38:47 | Comments | Printable version
Charles Sparks and The Band of Brothers Firemen who were in the cortege bringing Charles Sparks home for his final call choke with emotion describing the outpouring of emotion, the show of respect by communities all along the path. It is described by one, below, and it gives an insight to the rest of us what it means to be a part of this Band of Brothers, this very special group of Adair Countians. By Ralph Roy Waggener Charles Sparks grew up in and around the Adair Co. Volunteer Department almost all his life. His Father Charles was a member most of his life; I don't know how long - but as long as I can remember. This father son team worked together I believe for a short time as firemen until senior Charles decided to retire from fighting fires. This is almost a tradition in this Volunteer fire dept. several other have followed their fathers into service.

Rescue Mission Complete: Family is back home When the Downtown Redbuds got hat racked Friday, a family of robins were homeless. But a call to action and a quick response from Mother Melewi (aka M.E. aka Maury Lewis) and her intrepid band of first responders rescued the birds, now back in their rehabbed, makeshift home. But the fight for survival is not over. Everyone is asked to help out. Scare off predators. And maybe help the mama with some juicy worms. And say a kind word as they pass. Click on headline for story plus photo(s) By An Innocent Bystander Maury Lewis better known as "melewi" locally responded to an urgent call today from a group of concerned shop owners on the downtown square. It seems that during Friday's unfortunate "hat racking" of the Red Buds on the Square a nest of young Robins was left homeless. Their nest knocked from the tree, the helpless babies survived the fall to the ground but would have surely perished except for the kindness of strangers. Quick action by the shop owners provided temporary shelter for the night but it was soon clear that mama Robin was having difficulty feeding her young.

Charles Sparks was true friend and hero I have never met a person more dedicated to helping others without any thoughts of reward or recognition. Obituary: Charles (Sparky) Sparks, Adair Co., KY (1961-2011) By Eric Goodin I will always remember Charles as a true friend and hero. So many nights growing up as we played basketball in my driveway and when that alarm went off he was faster than anyone to get there to help whomever needed him at that time. I admired Charles for his dedication, caring, and tireless efforts to always be there if at all possible to all that needed him.

Kentucky Color: Rose of Sharon, indeed Click on headline for photos of two contenders for honored name To see the next earlier Kentucky Color, click to Kentucky Color - Cedar Eggs By Billy Joe Fudge, Retired District Forester Kentucky Department of Forestry As a duly unlicensed investigator I must bring to your attention a vast and pervasive fraud that is being perpetrated by the Worldwide Plant Police. In order to get this important information to you I hope to avoid clandestine censorship authorities by not expounding upon any personal beliefs. I sincerely believe you will arrive at the same conclusion at which I have arrived. That conclusion simply stated is "There is a Rose of Sharon identity theft taking place by another foreign invader from Southeast Asia." After reviewing the evidence I should hope that a grass-roots movement will arise to facilitate correct labeling in our public discourse. 2011-07-09 04:27:57 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Kentucky Color by Billy Joe Fudge Birthdays and Anniversaries for July 9 Happy Anniversary, Haley & Blake Martin (2011) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Christopher Allen Yates | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Darlene Burke | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Elizabeth Miller (1959) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Emma Joy Caldwell (2010) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Freddie Corbin (1982) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Gavin Scott Williams | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Helen York | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Jerry | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Lisa Muse | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Mary Keltner | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Noah Thomas (2001) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Owen Grant | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Patricia Sneed Haven (1963) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Sean Noel | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Sheila Keltner | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Stanley Carney, Jr. (1926) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, twins Sarah and Stephanie Calvert | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birhtday, Thomas Russell Wethington, Campbellsville, KY (1962-2019) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Richard Finley Duncan, 75, Edmonton, KY (1940-2015) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Linda Propes Leach, Casey Co., KY native (1950-2019) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Phillip Joyce Sallee Hubble, Liberty, KY (1943-2019) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Patricia Kaye Burton, Columbia, KY (1962-2019) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Hazel Warren, Greensburg, KY (1944-2020) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Gwinn DeSpain, Taylor Co., KY (1954) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Luther Collins, 91, Adair Co., KY (1918) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Master Trenton Allen Michael Bray (2010) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Mark Allen Hood Taylor Co., KY (1947) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Nicholas Wayne Flatt, Science Hill, KY (1993) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Norma Dee "Butch" Sparks McCormick, Adair Co., KY native (1939-2010) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Glen Carter, 80, Burkesville, KY (1930) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Charles Randolph Taylor, Hustonville, KY (1936) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Dorothy Christine Coomer, Adair County, KY (1923-2011) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Sandy Wolford, Taylor Co., KY (1958) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Donald Royce Shappley, Russell Co., KY (1937) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Mrs. Jean Harlow Tucker, Green County, KY (1932) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Frances Hayes, ElkHorn, KY (1932) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Daniel Fitzgerald Russell Co., KY (1934) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Margaret Lewis, Taylor County, KY (1931 | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Mr. Otha Lee VanArsdale, Green Co., KY, (1914) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Ora Bledsoe Howell, 82, Russell Co., KY (1930-2013) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Darlene Sapp, Liberty, KY (1950-2014) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Joy Miller Eskridge, 74, Campbellsville, KY (1939-2015) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Sally Margaret Barnett, 97, Taylor Co., KY (1917-2013) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Mr. Charles Earl (Chuck) Strange, Burkesville, KY (1953-2015) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Mysetta Montgomery, 91, Green County, KY (1924-2015) | (Updates/Corrections) In memory birthday, Ralph Lewis, Adair Co., KY (1925-2015) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Stanley Carney, Jr., 90, Columbia, KY (1926-206) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Carlon K.
