Rollin Knifley comes to terms with perservering orb weavers

At first, when a giant spider took over his back porch, he did his best to humanely deport her. But after more than a dozen unsuccessful tries, he settled for being a studious sidewalk superintendent, googling spiders as she worked. As best he can determine, his spiders and the builder of Fred Rowe's web are orb weavers, closely related to the bright red and orange garden spider so familiar in the Gradyville area of Adair County and elsewhere in the region.
Comments re photo 68152 Giant spider web greets Rowe Farm staff

By Rollin Knifley

I am by no means a spider expert. Typically, any spider I encounter outdoors, I give plenty of room. If encountered indoors, that is usually bad news for the spider. Im not sure why, but there isn't anything that will throw a case of the willies on me like a spider. If I walk through a web, or God forbid a spider gets on me, I go straight into the "every man for himself mode". I don't care if you are a child, woman, young or elderly, you are on your own! I'm not proud of it, it's just the way I was made.

Eulogy for Dr. Phil Aaron by Dr. Chuck Giles

By Dr. Chuck Giles
Delivered at Columbia Baptist Church, 13 Aug 2016

Dr. Phil Aaron was my friend and colleague for 27 years. My first encounter with Phil was in the spring of 1989 during my final year of residency at the University of Louisville. One evening Dr. Phil called my home for a phone conversation. It was not a pleasant one.

Dr. Phil stated that he'd heard I was considering coming home. I informed him that was correct. He proceeded to explain to me that would be a grave mistake given the turmoil that things were in at home in the medical community at that time.
