Ready for the prom - Adair County High School 2013 2013-04-21 - ACHS, 526 Indian Drive, Columbia KY - Photo CM staff photo. Adair County High School's John Burr Memorial Gymnasium was re-purposed into a ballroom this week for last night's 2013 Prom. This grand entrance, down the steps in front of the building, led to an "A Step Back in Time," wonderland. Each prom is three years in the making. Freshman start the planning that far in advance, raising funds for the events, which cost several thousand dollars to produce. In their junior year, the plan is executed, with students and their class advisors - this year teachers Chad Parnell and Robyn Mantooth - worked with the juniors to stage the extravaganza for the graduating seniors; knowing that next year, the juniors of today will be the honored guests.

Dodger is available for adoption at Sugarfoot Farm Rescue 2013-04-21 - Sugarfoot Farm Rescue, 860 Sparksville Road, Columbia, KY - Photo by Peg Schaeffer. Dodger is of breed with admirable tenacity and devotion "Dodger" is a red merle Australian Cattle Dog a Senior Dog, available for adoption, would make a special pet for a senior. He came to us from Indiana. The Heelers are one of my favorite breeds. I love their tenacity and devotion. Every day I receive emails about dogs in shelters that need help. As much as I wish I could I realize that I can't save them all and sadly delete the emails. One day as I was looking at the never ending pictures of dogs in danger I saw Dodger's picture. His story - he was 8 years old and his owner had surrendered him at the shelter because he was "too old". That just broke my heart. Cattle dogs are known for their longevity and can live up to 16 years of age easily. So in Dodger's case he was only half way there. What made this dog so special I don't really know but I did know that he needed to be rescued. I called the shelter and made arrangements. Although he was in Indiana they had a transport going to Lexington on that weekend. We also had a trip to Lexington that weekend. So we made arrangements to meet and Dodger came to Sugarfoot Farm Rescue. Dodger is a very stoic dog and had a massive head. He can be cranky at times but he has found his way into my heart. - PEG.

Dog Diplomats from Sugarfoot ready for duty 2013-04-21 - 400 Bomar Heights, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Lady Bug, left and Thumbelina. The little tan chihuahua, right is the head of the delegation to Summit Manor, and a spoiled girl, usually is very aloof to strangers, Peg Schaeffer says. "But for some reason when we go to visit she opens up. She'll often lick someone's hand or lightly lick their face which is not her usual action around others. She'll look at me with a dignified look that tells me that she does have a heart," says Peg Schaeffer. Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Buck is available for adoption at Sugarfoot Farm Rescue 2013-04-21 - Sugarfoot Farm Rescue, 860 Sparksville Road, Columbia, KY - Photo by Peg Schaeffer. A wonderful Senior Dog, great for seniors Buck's tail is in constant motion "Buck" is a black Lab who is older than the hills. He has an almost white muzzle and is always wagging his tail so hard it's amazing he can stand. Every morning he comes to the bedroom door and barks "I'm still alive. It's another beautiful day and I'm still alive." No matter what time he comes it's always a pleasure to hear his robust bark. His favorite pastime is to bark at the birds. I recently put up a shepherd's hook with a bird on the top. Buck cannot understand why he can't get that bird to fly away. Every morning he's out there barking madly at the bird and it just sits there. Keith is usually working in the yard at that time and Buck complains to him about the stubborn bird. Even when he comes into the house we'll ask him about the bird and he'll start his scariest bird bark. "Someday" he tells us "I'll get that bird." I'm sure he will.
