Adair Co. Schools on 1 hour delay Wed., Feb. 17, 2010

Classes in the Adair County School District will be back in session on Wednesday, February 17, 2010, but will be on a one-hour delay, David Jones, Director of Student Transportation for the District, announced at 3:29pmCT, on Tuesday afternoon, February 16, 2010.

He said that if unexpected bad weather should necessitate a change in this announcement that it will be made as soon as possible through local media, including ColumbiaMagazine.com.

"Some people question why we have the one hour delay, commenting that there can't be much additional thawing in one hour," Mr. Jones said.

"They deserve an answer, and it is that it is a matter of visibility. When there's even a remote possibility of ice," Jones said, "we want the drivers to be perfectly able to see the roads and the children. We don't want any child picked up in the dark tomorrow morning."

Kentucky Color - Broomsedge

Broomsedge just about disappeared during the period of 1950-1970, but now it's making a comeback
The next earlier Kentucky Color: Billy Joe Fudge, Kentucky Color: Pignut Hickory posted posted on 2010-02-07 at 08:37:14. Click on headline for full story, Broomsedge, plus photo(s)

By Billy Joe Fudge, President, Homeplace on Green River, Inc.
6048 New Columbia RD, Campbellsville, KY

Broomsedge is not grass.

The stems of grass are typically flat and sedges are typically triangular. You can feel the stems and tell the difference. Sedges die back during the fall and winter and grow back from the roots and seed each spring where grasses do not die back to the roots.
