Waiting for the fog to lift before the fishing can begin 2017-10-20 - Russell County, KY - Photo by Blake Cowan. "Waiting on the fog to burn off," is how this young award-winning fisherman described his early morning photo. The boats filled with anticipating fishermen parked under the shroud of fog on Lake Cumberland tell the story of how much they must love the sport and the tournaments they continue to enter. We've had many fishermen in the family, but never have I known one with the passion of Blake Cowan. - Linda Waggener Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Great Literature at ACPL lends detail for Squarecrow # 32 2017-10-20 - Adair County Public Library, 307 Greensburg Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. Even before super hero Captain Underpants was immortalized by Ryder Piralta's Squarecrow #32, he had at least a cult following of readers at the Adair County Public Library, as evidenced by this well worn, dog-eared copy. The epic novel may never eclipse "A Confederacy of Dunces," as the greatest American work of literature, but it's up there. Underpants devotees are amazed at how lifelike Piralta's creation is. Parents and grandparents can be assured that kids' interest in Capt. Underpants is not misguided. In the introduction, the creators recall that they were "responsible boys," as students, saying, "any time something bad happened in school, "we were responsible." Ryder, it is reported by his grandmother, may make time in his schedule for a photo with his creation before it comes down after Halloween Treats on the Town, we aren't sure. He is the grandson of Ben and Margaret Arnold of Columbia. This photo is of the cover of the first printing, "first epic novel by Dav Pilkey" and is available, along with others, at the Adair County Public Library, 307 Greensburg Street, Columbia, KY -- ED WAGGENER Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
