Joyce Coomer: Never considered Goldenrod invasive She also suggests, for those who dislike Goldenrod, that mowing may actually help additional propagation of the flower By Joyce Coomer I have never considered goldenrod to be an invasive plant as it's no more wide-spread in our pasture now than it was nearly 30 years ago when we bought this farm. There are places growing goldenrod and iron weed, places growing poke, places growing Queen Anne's lace, places growing all of these combined, places growing Johnson grass (which is VERY invasive), places growing yellow flowers I haven't been able to identify, places growing wild asters, etc. . . . I've always considered goldenrod a peaceful plant as it hasn't taken over the pasture. Maybe mowing increases the spreading of goldenrod -- the action of the mower would spread the seeds over a wider area than if the seeds just drop to the ground. We don't mow the entire pasture every year since we like to have a place for wildlife to take refuge. Joyce M. Coomer 2013-09-27 11:45:32 | Comments | Printable version

Letter: Thinks Clear Springs Road repairs unneccessary S BAIR writes: I live on the other side of this repair and in my opinion, it is a BIG waste of money. Being there are only 6 properties past the low spot and three of those are rentals and one is empty.

John McCasland: Bees make incredible amount of honey from Goldenrod John McCasland writes: Not only is goldenrod very photogenic but honeybees put up an incredible amount of honey from it in the fall. It replenishes their stores before going into the winter and sometimes is essential to their survival. Some say the beehive smells like dirty socks while the bees are putting it up; but while it is a dark honey, it is very sweet and delicious and has no disagreeable odor. - John McCaslandComments re photo 51499 Butterfly buttering over a barn 2013-09-27 07:55:05 | Comments | Printable version

Plane crash had Columbia ties: Dr. Vengu and Jay Dr. Narayan Venguswamy was surgeon at Westlake Regional Hospital; wife Jayanthy Venguswamy was talented interior decorator About: Kentucky couple killed in Chicago area on Wave3.com By Melissa Stone The couple who were killed in the plane crash earlier this week had close ties to Columbia. Dr. Narayan Venguswamy and his wife, Jayanthy Venguswamy were known to us simply as Dr. Vengu and Jay. During their time here, he was a surgeon at our local hospital and she was a talented interior decorator and wonderful mother to their only son, Kartik.

I have no other information on funeral arrangements at this time. - Melissa Stone 2013-09-27 04:51:35 | Comments | Printable version
