Jamie Richard family cooking today at 7th Annual Outdoor Expo 2016-08-06 - Adair County High School, 526 Indian Drive, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener.

The banner, "Clubhouse Grill," is the name of the cafe Richard plans to open at his new entertainment business planned for the Gradyville Country Club fairly soon. Richard is a veteran pitmaster. He's prepared the food for his church for the Expo for six of the seven years the extravanganza has been in existence.

Ask not what your Commonwealth can do for you . . . 2016-08-06 - Burkesville Road/Chattanooga Road/KY 61 South, Adair County, KY - Photo By Innocent Bystander. . . . ask what you can do for your Commonwealth, to paraphrase President John F. Kennedy. Eric Thompson and Joe Loy, above, are trimming the right-of-way along Burkesville Road/Chattanooga Road/KY 61 South, Adair County, KY. They're doing it with weed-eaters, but when they are finished, the casual observer won't realize that - the trimmed grass is as level as if trimmed by a lawn mower. The work is paid for by Stotts Contruction Co, owners of a bit of acreage in the area. The Commonwealth isn't out a cent. And it's all done without killing butterflies and other pollinators, either. The company is just carrying out an old-timey idea that property owners take care of right-of-ways in front of their own land. By the way the trash along the way is picked up, too. If you know of situations where landowners are doing similar work, please share that information. CM loves it when people find people doing good, and tell on them. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
