Rumored bear threat at Greensburg, KY only a rumor 2012-10-31 - 112 Public Square, Greensburg, KY. - Photo by Innocent Bystander. Shades of Woody's Styrofoam Bear. Senior Members of Adair County's prestigious Blue Ribbon Bear Board responded to reports of a "marauding" bear threatening the populace of Greensburg, KY - possibly a wandering lovelorn male from the Clay Ridge, Ebenezer, Haskinsville sector. Upon investigation, it was determined that this bear posed no threat to livestock, humans - even small nuisance yippy dogs. However, untrained observers are reminded to give ground when they spot any bear and leave the dangerous work to a trained BRBB agent - You never know what notion a bear will get - better safe than et, as the old boy says. Also, absolutely no more prank calls. Gas is way to high and our time is far too valuable and out work too serious to go gallivanting off on wild goose chases. -CM Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

BB Pickett: The man with the cotton candy 2012-10-31 - Fountain Plaza, Downtown Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. He's now as much an icon of Treats on the Town as Santa Claus is for Christmas. Cotton Candy man Billy B. Pickett prepares another bag as Shannon Rowe, in charge of the the station wagon stash, seated, right waits for the onslaught of "customers." Just before the 5pmCT start time, business was slow, but that was maybe cause the first wave of Trick or Treaters was just starting around the Square in the 200 and 300 Quadrants. The weather is only seasonally chilly, so the Jaycees operating the booth were preparing for 800-1200 kids. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Epicurean Kentuckian: Black Beans and Smoked Sausage 2012-10-31 - Clandestine Kitchens Laboratory - Photo by Pen. Just a little smoked sausage adds a ton of flavor to canned black beans. These are cooked with some sauteed garlic and diced onion, celery and red pepper, and a handful of chopped fresh spinach. Once cooked, the spinach is dark enough to disappear in the finished stew, but adds flavor and texture. Ground cumin and cayenne pepper add earthiness and heat, and chopped parsley (pictured) or cilantro go nicely on top. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
