From Trabue Russell House: Hint of Memorial Day approach 2017-05-22 - Trabue-Russell House, 201 Jamestown Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, Columbiamagazine.com(c) . Any visit to the Trabue-Russell House lets time stand still for a while - as good a stress-therapy regime as there could possibly be. It's interesting to see the different views from inside the fence. Through the foliage one sees the outline of one of Columbia's oldest, most handsome residences, the home of Dr. Ron & Gayle Rogers, which coincidentally for Memorial Day, is flying the flag. Memorial Day is now just a week away - Monday, May 29, 2017. Also, tomorrow, 11:30am-1pmCT, the Adair Heritage Association is holding its annual Salad Luncheon DETAILS. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Impromptu Detour Bypass: Burkesville, KY 2017-05-22 - Cliff Street, Burkesville, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, Columbiamagazine.com(c) . Scarcely had the detour barricades gone at the intersection of KY 61 and KY 90 in Burkesville, KY for the repaving project there, than local residents had created an impromptu bypass at Cliff Street, Cumberland Drive, Veterans Drive, and a variety of other possibilities including Upper River Road to get from North to South 61. Similar work around "Shortcuts" were also developing on county roads and other city streets when this photo was taken. It was the route we took on a visit - just looked like everyone else was, and while we (editorial "we", meaning "me") may not be leaders, we are great followers. - EW.

Poison Hemlock - Vickybane? - is taking over the roadways 2017-05-22 - KY 61/Greensburg Road N of Lampton Lane, Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, Columbia, KY. If one weren't aware that Poison Hemlock is an unwelcome invader, one might think it's the state wildflower of Kentucky. According to Wikipedia, wikipedia.org/wiki/Conium_maculatum, derives its scientific name from the Greek Konas, meaning to whirl, because one of the symptoms of ingesting the plant is vertigo. The article in Wikipedia says that the plant can be dangerous to humans to humans and livestock. And therein lies its imminent peril. It has attracted the attention of Miss Victoria Pike - who has already appealed to the Adair County Fiscal Court to eradicate it in Adair County, to local representatives to engage the help of Agriculture Commissioner Ryan Quarles, to fellow farmers and all who will listen to join her crusade to eliminate the noxious invader - native to Europe and North Africa, she said.
