New parking lot ramp at ACHS 2014-07-23 - ACHS, 526 Indian Drive, Columbia KY - Photo CM staff photo. A more versatile afternoon entry and exit pattern was created with this short ramp onto the Adair County High Parking lot, which doubles as primary parking for athletics events at ACHS Football Stadium and the Softball Field. The exit will primarily help with quicker exits and entries from the campus' northern most two access points via Indian Drive and Booster Drive onto the Adair County Veterans Memorial Bypass. The work is being done by Brockman Construction Co., on campus now for the demolition of John Adair Intermediate School and Col. Wm. Casey Elementary School. Superintendent Alan W. Reed said he hopes to have the ramp paved in the future, but noted that a soft rain on the gravel had helped to harden the surface, which was smoothed by traffic. - CM Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Wildflowers of KY: Coneflower amid Queen Annes Lace 2014-07-23 - Allen Schoolhouse Road, Adair County, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener. Queen Anne's Lace is extraordinarly beautiful in late even sunlight, especially when a little coneflower is mixed in, as it is in random roadside bouquets along Adair County byways this time of year. Never tried it, but the Wikipedia entry Daucus Carota has a paragraph about changing the color of the white flowers of Queen Anne's lace by putting the stems in colored water, letting the flowers take on the color of the water. Many of us remember, that, as kids, the flowers were allowed in the house because they'd carry bugs with them. Interestingly, this same article cites a conflict in agriculture: The plant, the article says, has proven beneficial to tomato production and is a beneficial weed. On the other hand, a powerful bureacracy, the USDA, lists it as a noxious week, and a pest in pastures, according to the Wikipedia entry. - CM Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
