The City has 120 new flags, most already up for July 4

The installed display is getting big amens from veterans' advocates such as Joe Hare. Equally delightful is the chance to see Terry Moore at work installing them using his oil barrel bucket lift, at times in almost pitch darkness

Several saw the start of the installation of the new flags on Sunday night; the flags caught the eyes of many more on the way to work Monday morning.

They marvelled at the clever engineering of the lift truck Terry Moore of Allen Moore and Sons Electrical Contractors, used to place the holders, new wooden staffs, and new flags on the utility poles.

Rhonda Loy, Deputy City Clerk and Events Planner for Columbia, KY, said that her department ordered 120 new flags and wooden staffs this year. The old flags were beginning to show a bit of wear, and it was a good time to add a few to the display.

Thanks for the Flags

By Joe Hare

As I came through town this afternoon Terry Moore was putting up more of the great looking flags, this is two afternoons in a row to see them going up.

As a veteran and an American I just want to say "THANK YOU" to our city government and to Terry for putting them up.

I hope I understood correctly that it was the city government, if others are involved, thanks to you too. Joe Hare

Whitehurst Album: Willis+ Flowers for a Midsummer day

Click on headline for photo(s) as added during the day

Sharon Whitehurst chronicled another Song of the South Day in Old Gradyville on June 21, 2011, the first day of summer, the day of the summer solstice."No pagan festivities here," she notes, "although I always note the solstice and the official start of a new season. Poppies [from heirloom seed sown in late February] and roses opened to greet the morning," and she had this comment on the underappreciated Willis: "The ever-lurking Willis said he was merely smelling the flowers, not casting an evil eye on the hummingbirds."

Mary Keltner sends link on new tick-borne disease

Mary Keltner sends a link to a story: Once Rare, Infection by Tick Bites Spreads/Another infection caused by tick bites is spreading in the Lower Hudson Valley, and in other parts of the Northeast and the Upper Midwest by Laurie Tarkan on the New York Times website.

Many can remember when tick borne lyme disease was only a northeastern disease, but today it is all too common in Kentucky. Ticks are some of the most dangerous creature in the outdoors. They are controlled to some extent, by rattlesnakes and other animals which prey on rodents and control rodent populations. Rodents are favored tick hosts. Comments and ideas on enjoying the outdoors and being safe from ticks are welcome. -CM

Tommy Bailey likes 2nd Walking Tree photo

Comments re photo 40880 Walking Tree headed for Coffey Hole or Big Race

Tommy Bailey writes:
Ed, I like the angle of this photo better than the one I took. It really looks like it's trying to take a step. --Tommy Bailey
Wouldn't say I'd give the second photographer an edge. Being First, as you were, usually trumps everything else, so the Tommy Bailey picture on CM will always hold that distinction. There is still one more needed. From your photo it looks like the photographer ought be no more than 30 inches tall. It would be to have the trees' legs framing the White Oak Church. Folks who have visited Widland say it is one of the most peaceful, most pleasant place in Adair County. It will surely be a favorite stop for the busloads of Canadian tourists coming our way, in the bye and bye. -CM
