A mallard (Anas platyrhynchos) spotted at Long Run Park in Eastern Jefferson County. According to the Wikipedia entry on Mallards, they "live in wetlands, eat water plants and small animals, and are social animals preferring to congregate in groups or flocks of varying sizes. This species is the main ancestor of most breeds of domesticated ducks." Comments | Permalink

It was a happy occasion for Mike Harris at the Thursday, May 17, 2018 meeting of the Adair County Board of Education. He was given a certificate of appreciation and the plaque that was displayed in front of his chair on the dais. He was honored for the enormous contributions he made during the most transformative years in the history of Adair County Schools. He said, "Thank you all very much. I've served my time and I'm going home." His wife Laura, who was with him, said, "He really did enjoy his time on the school board and took a lot of pride in it. We can look back over the 18 years - he started when our kids were in kindergarten - and the campus doesn't look like the same place because so much has been accomplished. Thank you all." Harris continues his support of education and is devoting as much time as ever to improving the community. He now lives in Downtown Columbia, which he has done as much to preserve and transform as any living in Adair County. - EW Comments | Permalink
