Reminder to use Senior Vouchers at Farmers Market

By Donna Jones

As the Distribution Agent for the Senior Vouchers for Adair County I am urging everyone that has received the vouchers to go shop at the Farmers Market on the Square, we are nearing the end of August and time will run out for the funds to be used, if the funds are not used it goes against the county so less funds are given out next year to Adair County.

The market is open each Saturday from 8amCT to 1pmCT, and is located at the corner of Campbellsville Street and Merchant Street.

Kentucky Color: Tiny Nest



2022-08-18 - Adair Co., KY - Photo by Billy Joe Fudge.
By Billy Joe Fudge

The Great Wooded South never fails to titillate the learning gene. This tiny nest is hanging about three feet above the ground a few hundred feet from Little Pitman Creek just south of Old Summersville Road.

Yes, I just like you flew right straight to the conclusion that it might be a Hummingbird nest. However, after much research I believe the builder was likely a Vireo.

With the exception of the ink pen, I can see five or six different building materials used to construct this complex structure. Do you see them?

Carol Perkins: The Heart

Previous Column: The Wind and the Window

By Carol Perkins

My husband is a private person, but if this account saves a life, I had permission to share.

When I got home from my women's lunch, Guy was in the recliner. "I've been having chest pains for two hours." He had been cutting up a limb left from a storm when the pains began. He came inside, rested, and went back. The pain continued. "When I couldn't lift the limb to the back of the truck, I knew I was in trouble." Put on your shoes; we were going to ER." We debated whether to call an ambulance, but he wanted to go to Bowling Green where his doctors are, which we did.

The ER was packed. Some were obviously sick and others were laughing, sharing phone pictures, and eating. Family gathering. I was not in the mood! When he wasn't taken "back" immediately, I approached the registration desk in a panic.
