Birds of Kentucky: Starling rules Johnson School RD 2011-04-23 - Johnson School RD, Fairplay, District 3, Adair Co., KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. For a brief time, at least A starling ruled over this part of North Johnson School Road, from an aery fit for a hawk or eagle. Making one wonder: Do birds pretend they are more? Does a starling plike, for a time, it's a red tailed hawk? For sure, the starling commanded a magnificent view of the valley from dead tree mast with about as much character as any in Adair County. The photo was taken Saturday afternoon, April 23, 2011. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Harris Building: Eye level historic details 2011-04-23 - 400 N. Public Square, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Columbia Barber Wid Harris was out early Saturday morning sweeping the sidewalk around the building at 402 Public Square which houses Mouser Real Estate and, in the same building, his own Towne Barber Shop. At right, (bricks are painted the same color as the building; camera setting was off), are details which give a hint of the building's history. The top right photo shows finger prints in the still soft, handmade bricks. The concavity in the brick in the lower photo is where, Mr. Harris said, old timers in bib overalls and long sleeved shirts used to sharpen their knives on the bricks. One artifact he'd dearly love to have back: The neon bordered clock which hung over the door when Casey Jones operated a jewelry store where Mouser Realty is today. He is hoping that perhaps someone will have at least a photo of the clock, if the clock itself cannot be found. The building once house the Columbia Post Office.
