Cumberland County Flood Update from Mayor Bill Guffey

Flood crises continues in Cumberland County - Mayor Guffey posts updates regularly and has written an appeal to Congressman Comer. Frustration continues to mount.

Wildflowers of KY: Grape Hyacinth



2019-03-24 - Columbia, KY - Photo by Pen.
Wikipedia has this to say about Grape Hyacinths (Muscari): "Some species are among the earliest garden flowers to bloom in the spring... Naturally found in woodlands or meadows, they are commonly cultivated in lawns, borders, rock gardens and containers. They require little feeding or watering in the summer, and sun or light shade"

Beauty, peace and harmony in nature

By Billy Joe Fudge

There is so much beauty, peace and harmony in nature. The major contributing factors to depression, confusion, frustration, discontent and loathing are;

  • (1) an inordinate desire to live in the past,
  • (2) a paralyzing fear of the future and
  • (3) the lack of wisdom to appreciate the present.

  • Only mankind cowers before tomorrow and laments the loss of yesterday while not being content with today.

    DAY TRIP: Discovering big road changes in Greensburg

    By Linda Waggener and Ellen Zornes

    They say some things never change, but then everything always does.

    The route from Columbia to Greensburg and home again has been the same for as long as we could remember. Take Highway 61, the "Greensburg Road," from Columbia and make no turns off until you arrive at the historic public house that marks the downtown in the Green County seat.

    Not anymore, however. Someone somewhere in the vast upper highway department decided to change the routing of traffic at the meeting of Highways 61 and US 68.
