Wildflowers of KY: Bluets in profusion 2017-04-30 - Eastern Adair Co., KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com photo(c). Occasionally, along Adair County's many shady lanes, wild bluets can be seen in beds stretching dozens of yards, often two to five feet deep, and are by themselves reasons to take day trips and have dashboard picnics. Saturday, April 29, 2017 was one of those perfect days to do so and to enjoy the blessing of the bluets. But an even greater pleasure is in spotting the perfect natural setting of the flowers. The protective arch of the fern over a relatively tiny patch of bluets, above, was one of those special occasions, worth the set-aside 30 minute soul refresher afternoon. - LW/EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Wildflowers of Kentucky: Trillium in pink stage 2017-04-30 - Eastern Adair Co., KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, Columbiamagazine.com(c) . Trillium is now in a more mature stage in most of Adair County, with an increasing number in the pink phase as the ones above. The flowers need protection, not only because they are unmatched in beauty, because they are under threat from people and deer, because of medicinal uses, and because of the long time - seven years some experts say - it takes for new plants to mature to the flowering stage.

ACSO Rx Takeback stood at 40 lbs at 11amCT 2017-04-29 - Parking lot by Taco Bell, Jamestown Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, Columbiamagazine.com(c) . Adair County Sheriff Harrison Moss and an ACSO Deputy were having a brief lull in a busy day this morning taking back unused prescription drugs. In the first hour, 40 lbs had been taken in, Sheriff Moss said. Last year, for the full 10am-2pmCT take back session, a record 101 lbs were properly recovered. The ACSO will be at the location this year until 2pmCT, too. (The shy deputy is Aaron Rainwater, who may have had a head-scratching spell when the High Sheriff recalled investigating a tip about an outdoor marijuana grow in the South End of the County. They search an entire farm and didn't find a single MJ plant. "But when we were about to get into the prowler," he said, "I looked down at my pants and they were another color - they were covered with ticks." Fortunately quick think ACSO Deputy BJ Bray used a knife to scrape them offer, and the sheriff took necessary precautions and made it home with not a single tick bite.) Also shy and out of frame were Shirley Moss and an Ms. Reporter for the Adair Progress; and out of frame, Reed Moss, Sheriff Moss's brother. There's still time to take unused and unneeded Rx containers to the event. - EW. DETAILS Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
