Photography: Camera, settings for Marrowbone eagle shot

Kelli Claypool writes:
This is in response to George's question. Thanks to George Rice for the nice compliment. It was amazing to see such a majestic bird. I was approximately 500 feet away from the eagle and was able to take quite a few pictures. The camera that I was using is a Nikon P510 with a wide 42x Zoom Nikkor. I hope that answers your questions as I am truly an amateur when it comes to photography. - KELLI CLAYPOOL

Thanks to inmates of the Restricted Custody Facility

Inmates set an example for the rest of the county

Barbara J Armitage writes:
On behalf of the members of the Adair County Garden Club I would like to thank the staff and the inmates of the Adair County Regional Jail - Restricted Custody for their enthusiastic support to the Garden Club projects in 2012.

Without these gentlemen we would not have accomplished the amount of work we did on the new Springhouse Herb Garden at the Trabue Russel House. With their help we moved countless stones to construct the beds and boarders of what is becoming the new herb garden and shoveled over 12 tons of soil into these and other new garden beds.

These men consider it a privilege to work on community projects which enhance our county. I wish that more citizens felt this way. -BARBARA J ARMITAGE
