Marsha Bennett, Knifley Christian Church kick in for KNK 2012-07-29 - F&FNB, 124 Public Square, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Marsha Bennett, center presented a monetary donation and two pairs of shoes on behalf of Knifley Christian Church to Mindly Smith and son Braxton, and Cricket McCloud, for the Kids Need Kicks Shoe Program. A surge of gifts before the deadline, Monday, July 30, 2012, has been really encouraging, the Kids Need Kicks founder says. Now, monetary donations will help the most to get this year's drive to 300 pairs of shoes and all the socks the group can buy for Adair County students whose families can't afford new footwear. $30 buys a good quality pair of shoes. $10 is enough to pay for 10 pairs of socks. If you would like to contribute to the ongoing fund Please make checks payable to "Family Resource Center" and mail to PO Box 242, Columbia, KY 42728. If you have any questions, please contact Cricket McCloud at (270) 385-9633 or Mindy Smith at (270) 250-6060. Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Towers of Columbia, KY 2012-07-29 - Lindsey Hill, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Maybe it's because the onion shaped bulb of the water tower reminds of Islamic architecture when coupled with the antenna which serve as spires to the eye. Whatever - the sight of the Lindsey Wilson water tower always brings to mind a title of a Rose McCaulay book, The Towers of Trebizond even though there seems little in common between a United Methodist College, the Columbia/Adair Utilities District, and the book other than that the book is set in an Islamic country, Turkey, and it's about church people from England traveling there with some bent on converting the natives to Anglican Christianity, a denomination from which the Methodists escaped in its beginnings. The picture was taken over Burton's Tin Shop. Unsure what the antenna are about, and don't buy into the conspiracy theories that Homeland Security is spying on us from all tower and prominence around. -EW Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Kentucky Color - Trumpet Vine Feast 2012-07-29 - Photo by Billy Joe Fudge. The fruit of the trumpet vine sweats a sweetish, saltish concoction which flies and bees of all sorts are continually harvesting. Each individual is fighting for space and sometimes the fight turns deadly when smaller Sweat Bees become part of the harvest, as evidenced in the photo, to wind up in the wasps nest for sustenance for their babies in the larvae stage. -Billy Joe Fudge Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
