Things people need to know: Persimmon seed winter prediction 2015-10-17 - Metcalfe County Adult Day Care Center - Photo by Innocent Bystander . Geniece Marcum asked Lisa Ann England Hammer to forward this photo from the Metcalfe County Adult Day Care Center "on to the house" (to daughter Jane Todd) so we could write about the persimmon seed winter prediction and share with readers. According to the Farmers Almanac, the shape inside the kernel will tell the type of winter coming. A spoon shaped (or shovel shaped) kernel, which this seed in question happened to be, means lots of heavy, wet snow will be coming our way. - JTM Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Happy Birthday, Chef Bill of Dale Hollow State Resort Park 2015-10-16 - Dale Hollow Resort Park, 5970 State Park RD, Burkesville, KY. - Photo by Ed Waggener. Happy birthday 16 Oct 2015, Bill Ware, Columbia - Glens Fork - head chef at Dale Hollow State Resort Park in Burkesville, KY. He is a graduate of Adair County High School and Sullivan University's aclaimed Culinary Institute in Louisville. Learned his birthday is today. When Ruth Hadley, Marketing Manager at Dale Hollow State Resort Park and an Adair Countian & Lindsey Wilson graduate, was told that the food on the buffet was so good it was reminiscent of the days when Dallas Wade and later Earl Cundiff were managers at Lure Lodge, she said there was a reason - and introduced us to Bill Ware, Dale Hollow's "Chef Ware," whose birthday was today. Quite a fabulous cook, at one of the most beautiful places in the Commonwealth. By the way, the price of the lunch buffet is about the cost of a burger, fries, and drink at a fast food - $8.50, at lunch time. The drive from downtown Columbia is about an hour. Took a "Short Cut" home, across Wolf Creek Dam and it was only about 1 hour 45 minutes, including dawdles and a couple of fruitless quests for Big Red Zero. Chef Ware has a real short cut, up KY 704 to KY 768, thence to Short Cut Road in Adair County. Highly recommend his dining room, and wish him happy birthday, today. - EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
