KY Afield Outdoors: Least terns nesting in the Mississippi, lower Ohio By: Lee McClellan FRANKFORT, KY - Interior least terns are nesting now on sand bars in the Mississippi River along the New Madrid Bend, the western most parcel of Kentucky. Least terns are the only endangered species that nests in our state. Human disturbance can heavily impact their nesting success. "Once the Ohio River drops a little, they will nest there as well," said John Brunjes, migratory bird biologist for the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources. "Least terns need clean sand bars free of weeds to nest." Brunjes and other workers mark the least tern nesting areas with yellow signs to warn people. The least tern nests on the Mississippi River along Kentucky's western border and in the Ohio River from Paducah downstream. "If you see yellow signs on a river sand island, then stay off," Brunjes said. "With the Ohio River dropping, some terns will nest before we can mark them. If you see least terns circling, then stay away."

Green County Sheriff Robby Beard warns of phone scam Caller tells intended victim they have missed jury duty and a warrant for their arrest is being issued. Told to buy Money Pack for $495 and to call a 270 - area code phone number and provide number. But number is in Maine, not Green County. Click on headline for complete story From Larry Smith, FM 99.9, The Big Dawg Radio GREENSBURG, KY - Green County Sheriff Robby Beard advises the Big Dawg that an imposter is making telephone calls in the name of county officials using threats of prosecution to intimidate Green County residents into sending money. Numerous residents have reported someone claiming to be Deputy Adam Rainwater is calling, saying that they have mist a jury duty summons and a warrant for their arrest is being issued. They are then told they may take care of the matter by appearing in court before Judge Misty Edwards or go to a local business and buy a Money Pack Reload Cart for $495, which is the amount of the fine. After obtaining the card, the victims are to call Deputy Rainwater at a 207-area code number to provide the card number. The phone number, while similar to Green County's 270-area code, is actually in Main. Also, Judge Executive Edwards title is as chief executive of the county and the office has had no judicial powers since the late 1970s. Green County Sheriff Robby Beard asks anyone who receives similar calls to report them to his office at 270-932-5641. from Larry Smith, Operations Manager, Shoreline Communications 2014-06-19 15:36:24 | Comments | Printable version

The Whitehurst Diaries: The Sturdy Volunteers Click on headline for complete diary entry with photo(s) By Sharon Whitehurst Jim didn't till the two lower strips of the side garden this spring. Since we are (hopefully) in transit to another property a few miles away, our main gardening efforts have been concentrated there. I wasn't surprised to see sunflowers emerging in the neglected strips with the advent of warmer weather. The surprise has been at how quickly they reached blooming status. Scrolling through photos from 2013, I find the first sunflower in bloom on July 7. The scent of a pollen-laden sunflower has been familiar since childhood when my Grampa Mac planted a row at the bottom of the garden each year. Volunteer plants whether flowers or vegetable intrigue me. Each summer finds a few tomato plants which have popped up, usually after the garden has been rototilled. In my Vermont garden I allowed any of those which were growing in a likely area to continue, sometimes transplanting a particularly promising specimen to a safer spot.

Anti-Soring legislation gets boost with Walk on Washington Whitfield, Cohen, and Schakowsky speak on behalf of the bipartisan, bicameral Prevent All Soring Tactics Act to help ensure the Horse Protection Act of 1970 is enforced and stop the intentional infliction of pain to horses Click on headline for complete story from Rep. Ed Whitfield's office By Marty Irby News from Rep. Ed Whitfield's Office WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, a nationwide rally, the "Walk on Washington" was held on Capitol Hill by the All American Walking Horse Alliance. Grassroots enthusiasts attended from all over of the United States who support the passage of the Prevent All Soring Tactics (PAST) Act, H.R. 1518/S. 1406 to end the horrific practice of "soring" Tennessee Walking, Racking, and Spotted Saddle horses. The PAST Act currently has 293 bipartisan cosponsors in the United States House of Representatives, and 56 in the United States Senate. Soring is the intentional infliction of pain to horses' feet to achieve the high stepping "big lick" pain-based gait that is sought after by many violators of the Horse Protection Act (HPA) of 1970.
