By Ellen Zornes

Last evening Adair County Elementary School (ACES) was overrun by creatures of the night as approximately 300 ghosts, goblins, super heroes, witches, several princesses and their parents joined in the fun of this year's community wide HallowRead.

Everyone had a howling good time as we feasted on pizza, soft drinks and water and visited the many spooooky reading and activity rooms. Weird Scientist, Susan Peck, and her apprentices entertained the crowd with their many feats of science showing us how much fun chemistry really is. In addition to fun and scary reading and math rooms, each child decorated a pumpkin to take home.

Kentucky Color - Bradford Pear

The Urban Forest: Writer has no love for Bradford Pear, but admits that the colors of the leaves can be magnificent. Click on headline for story plus photo(s)
Next previous Kentucky Color: I, We A poem, a tribute to the true oneness, the team spirit of the Adair County Marching Band

By Billy Joe Fudge, Retired District Forester
Kentucky Division of Forestry


Bradford pear is a great urban tree that has upward growth which allows it to fit into tight urban spaces and just about no kind of pollution seems to affect it. It has beautiful white flowers in the spring and about every color leaves imaginable in the fall.

However, it is proving to be another blight from the Orient, China to be specific. After the tree reaches the ripe old age of about 15 it starts to split from wind, snow, ice, and maybe even sunshine. If you have planted Bradford pear be prepared to replace it between 15 and 25 years of age.
