Signs at Industrial Parks will be upgraded 2011-02-14 - Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. The signs at the entrances to Green River Commerce Park and the Columbia-Adair County Industrial Park are going to look a lot better if sign companies accept a counterproposal for reworking them. The sun faded face of the Green River Commerce Park face on the Green River Commerce Park sign, at the intersection of Campbellsville RD and Development Drive will be replaced and the signs at the entrance to the Columbia-Adair Industrial Park, at Jamestown RD and Industrial DR, will be completely reworked. The Columbia-Adair County Economic Development Authority voted unanimously to negotiate the work with sign companies and the individual companies whose names will be on the panels. The vote was taken at the Wednesday, February 9, 2011 meeting, with Chairman Doug McCammish and members Jim Hadley, Tony Corbin, and Kay Bowman voting to proceed with the work.

Daffodil Diary: An official blooming February 13, 2011 2011-02-13 - Old Gradyville RD., Gradyville, KY - Photo by Sharon Whitehurst. Maybe Gradyville just has a more Southern climate: But for some reason, it's happened. "This is big," Linda Waggener, officially decreed. "This is a double bloom old fashioned March Lily," she said, in making a decision to call this blossom the First Official Daffodil bloom on CM for the year 2011. What this means is that the Daffodil Watch is now raised to a Yellow Alert. We'll be hoping for photos of singles, artistic clumps, and covered hills like they have in Russell County, soon. Daffodils are called March Lilies in Sulphur Well, KY, where abide many members of a strange subculture which puts Miracle Whip on only one slice of white bread when making a sandwich. -EW Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Christian Bikers take Larry Alexander home 2011-02-13 - Liberty RD, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. On a perfect Sunday afternoon a long line of Christian bikers, friends of Larry Alexander (1943-2011), performed a ritual ride for their departed friend, who would have been, on an earlier day like this, enjoying the sunshine with his fellows on a meandering trip around South Central Kentucky. He was known as "Smiley," because of his own infectious grin, and because he always made others around him smile, too. At this point, the procession was one-half mile from their friend's final resting place, Haven Hill Cemetery. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
