Writer learns good black milk snake discourages copperheads Sharon Whitehurst writes: As you can likely tell, I am no expert when it comes to herpetology and my instinct is to get away from any snake as fast as possible! I managed last month not to screech and levitate on a chilly morning when I discovered a 'large' black snake curled hose-like at the side of the lane. Jim, when summoned, examined it in long-suffering manner and declared that not only was it not 'large' but that it was a 'good snake'--a black milk snake who would presumably justify its presence by eating bugs and discouraging copperheads. I daresay I might qualify for a bit of scoffing by the locals who presumably take indigenous snakes in stride. My extreme distrust of snakes is a well entrenched part of me, but I will concede that being better informed might be advisable. - Sharon WhitehurstSee related: The Whitehurst Diaries: Snake encounters of the mistaken kind 2016-05-20 11:53:40 | Comments | Printable version

Students tour Homeplace on Green River By George Kolbenschlag Homeplace on Green River hosted about 40 Campbellsville 5th graders for a day on the farm Monday, May 16. The students went on a guided nature hike in the woods, learned about various environmental issues, took a hay ride and completed a "Quest" hike where they learned about barn owls and the history of Homeplace. This was the second outing at Homeplace for Taylor County students this month. The first, for Kentucky Christian Academy students, was Friday, May 13, and included a program on various Kentucky animals conducted by Campbellsville University's Clay Hill Memorial Forest. Both were funded by a grant from the Taylor County Health Department through the Taylor County Wellness Coalition. The visits fit well with Homeplace on Green River's role as Kentucky's Outdoor Classroom. 2016-05-20 09:37:14 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Education

Billy Joe Fudge: Followup on Civics Lesson On Civil Discourse, and quote from DeFoe on need for more Listening By Billy Joe Fudge Anger often emanates from those who are insecure in their existence, who lack the mental and emotional discipline to patiently think through problems, seek solutions and articulate their positions. Our society and culture has become so impersonal, uncaring and isolationist in manner. "No man is an Island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the Continent..." John Donne said. I am so saddened when trying to converse with folks who are so afraid of what I might say that they seek to drown me out rather than listening. Relationships are not sought for the good of all and to benefit and grow the community, it seems, but for personal and selfish reasons. - BJF Related: Billy Joe Fudge: Civics lesson 2016-05-20 08:06:30 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Commentary
The Whitehurst Diaries: Snake encounters of the mistaken kind The first 'expert' identification was that Willis' prey, dutifully and lovingly placed on her doorstep was a particularly fractious and dangerous kind of snake. Though it turned out be more terrifying in its fractious mode, it was really an environmental friend, better than even Willis at send vermin on to rodent heaven. Click on headline for complete diary entry. After reading each diary entry, scroll down for previous Whitehurst diaries By Sharon Whitehurst I do not like viewing photos of snakes. I don't want to be surprised by such creatures and was alarmed by the discovery of a somewhat damaged snake near my bucket of potting earth on the front porch. The cats regularly present us with tiny snakelets that resemble a brown shoestring. I don't appreciate them, but they are small enough that I can deal with one - especially if it has already succumbed to the maulings of an enthusiastic feline.
