Robert Ellis: Horse, Hillsboro, KY 2017-04-04 - Hillsboro, Fleming County, KY - Photo by Robert Ellis (c) . Took this photo as I was leaving Hillsboro Kentucky (Flemingsburg Area) last Friday. The horse only provided me with a few seconds of posing before it galloped off to regroup with other horses in the field. It had been stormy the night before, and as the photo shows the blue sky was starting to break through rendering a nice backdrop to the shot. - ROBERT ELLIS Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Mike Bell makes dramatic plea for safe sidewalks 2017-04-04 - City Hall, 116 Campbellsville Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener, Columbiamagazine.com(c) . From his motorized chair, Mike Bell challenged Columbia City Council members to borrow the vehicle and experience what he and others experience every day just to move about their neighborhoods. "This city has a miserable track record when it comes to sidewalks," he told them. He told them that his problems are great, but asked them to consider the spouse/caregivers - most often wives - who push wheelchairs along the streets. They are the ones who really suffer from the neglect. Bell exited the room early, to avoid the darkness and the rain, to applause from the gallery for a speech which deserved a standing ovation. - EW Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
