Harvard Medical School ophthalmologists say that most sun damage occurs right on the surface of the eye.

Possible financial help for folks with damaged fences Guy Babbin sends word that there is a possibility for financial help with damaged fencing resulting from the recent storms, if enough damage occurred locally to meet the threshold for an official declaration. David Claycomb with the Adair County Farm Service Agency says that, thankfully, there haven't been a lot of reports of damage so far from the last round of storms, but that they do want to document reports of damage to see if there is enough need to qualify for assistance programs in the county. David says, "If farmers had significant damage to fences around crops or pasture, they should definitely call and let us know" by calling the Adair County Farm Service Agency at 270-384-6431, Extension 2. Update, 5/29: There are a lot of very helpful programs housed in the Adair County Service Center, and a previous version of this article had instructions to contact the wrong office. We apologize for the confusion. 2024-05-28 13:32:24 | Comments | Printable version
