Victoria Pike: Rant about ILLEGALLY placed roadside signs Vicky Pike takes a hard line - as a taxpayer and landowner and safety advocate, about presumptive placement of signs on public rights of way and on private property. Hers is not a stance against signs per se as a communication medium - just about illegally placed ones. And maybe it's because she had a $600 tractor tire repair bill after a running over a stub of a stake placed on her property by trespassers. Click on headline for complete commentary About: Doug Beard urges enforcement of roadside sign laws By Victoria Pike Personal commentary Thank you, Doug for your concern, on the explosion of a certain type of signage littering our community. I agree 100%. Some place the same signonly feet apart. If these signs are placed illegally on the right-of-way I see nothing wrong with pulling the dang things up and tossing them. If they are placed illegally I don't think it would be against the law for concerned citizens to take them down. I'd like to see citizens take it upon themselves and go pull them up.

Kentucky Color - I'm gonna count this year?/Forsythia Starting now, naturalist plans to count the months in which Forsythia, and requests assistance from readers. Request reports to "The Bloomer Police at CM." Click on headline for column with photo of Forsythia in Bloom in October. By Billy Joe Fudge I've often said that Forsythia blooms 12 months a year. However, I've never researched it but I, for sure, have seen it blooming in January, February, March, April and now October and November. The "book" description of Forsythia, sometimes referred to as the Easter Bush, says that it blooms first and then the blooms are quickly followed by green leaves which is of course true. But there is certainly one exception to that rule since this one is blooming in the midst of a full Autumn regalia of Persian plum and Porphyry. So, I'm gonna count next year and maybe you can help me with this Forsythia Bloom Research Project. If you see it blooming, report it to the Bloomer Police at CM. 2017-11-01 03:40:53 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Kentucky Color by Billy Joe Fudge
