Wayne Baxter has explanation for mysterious mossy mounds Government property around Green River Lake is filled with formations, the result of the 1974 tornado Wayne Baxter writes: Ed, I don't know if those mounds have a name but they were caused by a tree being uprooted years ago. I am guessing the one in your picture happened 43 years ago. The government property around Green River Lake is is filled with these formations in the path taken by the 74 tornado. Large trees fell over, bringing a lot of soil up with the root. The trees gradually decayed and disappeared, leaving a mound of soil and the hole it came out of. That path is also still dotted with pieces of metal roofing from farm buildings south east of there. - WAYNE BAXTERComments re photo 71973 Scenic Adair Co KY Mysterious moss mounds 2017-04-06 12:53:12 | Comments | Printable version

100 years ago: Adair County goes to war, 1917 When the the first report of the first round of registrations for the draft was printed in the Adair County News, in early June, Adair County's Selective had registered 1,225 - more than larger Marion County, and more than any of the surrounding counties. One of the most remarkable volunteers, later, in 1918, was a 99-years-young woman, who was 'ready for any service called upon her to do.' A brief was fact-packed and fascinating story from 100 years ago by JIM By JIM "Congress will meet in extra session April 2nd and a declaration of war may be expected." -- Adair County News, March 28, 1917. In June 1914, an assassin's bullet set off the European tinderbox and plunged the continent into war. By mid-1916, despite a stated policy of non-interference with European affairs, slowly, inexorably, America found itself drawn closer to the fray. In early 1917, newly re-elected President Wilson made public the so-called Zimmermann telegram (Germany's attempt to recruit Mexico as an ally in the war), and in mid-March, a German U-Boat sank without warning the steamer Vigilancia, an act immediately deemed to be an "incontrovertible act of war." On April first, another U-Boat sank the armed transport Aztec. The following day, President Wilson asked Congress, already in extra session, to declare war, and one hundred years ago today -- April 6, 1917 -- the United States formally entered into the conflict against Germany.
