Lee Ann Jessie makes plea for homeless at City Council 2018-07-05 - City Hall, 116 Campbellsville Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. Lee Ann Jessie, representing J.O.Y. Ministries, appealed to the Columbia City Council and will be going on to the Fiscal Court meeting next week, beginning conversations about help for the homeless in Adair County. The Ministry will no longer be able to provide help for the homeless and near-homeless after their open daytime hours and they also need a change in the place people in urgent situations are housed for a night. They have been in conversations with 911 Dispatch and have ideas for working together. Click 'read more' or go to this link to their full letter to officials.

Birds of KY: Canadians take the beach - II 2018-07-05 - Along an Adair County Byway - Kentucky - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. Going ashore, the Canadians form a serpentine line, with the leader, a Momma or the Alpha goose firmly in the lead and the subordinates following the path outlined for them. Again, just conjecture, awaiting an authoritative Canada Gooseologists input. When I was a kid Canada Geese were strictly migratory, wary, and seemed to know that regardless of game laws, they could well get shot at. Now that they are year round residents, the sight of the geese isn't quite the thrill it was in the 1960's, but like most living creatures, they are better than their worst deeds. - EW.

Birds of KY: Canadian family goes ashore - I 2018-07-05 - Along an Adair County Byway - Kentucky - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. Just a guess. This appears to be maternal training. The big boss bird leader is likely the Momma, and the little ones following her in military order - maybe little ones born on the lake this year. Maybe the scene is not that at all. Just conjuring up what might go on in the minds of Canadians, what a goose might be thinking. - EW.

Scenic Taylor County, KY - Heritage Tiger Lilies 2018-07-05 - Not far from Campbellsville University, Campbellsville, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. They grow tall and bend with the weight of their perfect blossoms. They are not as showy as the mod'n engineer varieties. But old-fashioned Tiger Lilies are comforting to children of the 30's, 40's 50's and 60's, as this one was on July 4, 2018. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Dollar shaped Esses in Adair County corn crop 2018-07-05 - Along an Adair County, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. Patterns in row crops tend toward parallel and straight. But in this crop, from a distance, the rows produced an interesting 'S' pattern - maybe for dollars? It was hard to keep Curly's singing of Oh, What A Beautiful Morning, out of one's ears, or imagine an elephant in the garden, or remember 4th of Julys in the cornbelt of the midwest. - EW.
