 Dry weather conditions this summer following another dry season last year have resulted in grazed pastures with areas that have thin vegetative cover and bare soil. Much of these areas already has evidence of weedy vegetation such as common ragweed and other summer annuals. As these plants die back naturally, cool-season weeds such as common chickweed, henbit and purple deadnettle will fill in the voids.

   Some of the contents of my files are a mystery to me. I have notes on little  pieces of paper that contain names, addresses and phone numbers, or clippings from newspapers that have been in folders for years. I can’t scratch my head too much trying to remember who some of the people were or why I saved their addresses or phone numbers because my hair is too thin and it would be dangerous. Some of them aren’t too difficult to decipher, however.

 Joel Fickel, a 2008 graduate of Spencer County High School,  has been named a Sen. Jeff Green Scholar. Students earn this designation by achieving a 4.0 grade point average all four years of high school and scoring at least a 28 composite on the ACT.

 My brother was the best digger around! He had dug potatoes and postholes, but unfortunately he dug himself into a great big hole. When the phone rang, Mom asked, “Chloe, can you answer that?  It’s probably Woody.” When I answered and heard Woody’s voice, I could tell he’d been crying. “What’s the matter, Woody?” I asked. “Didn’t you like the concert?” “Oh Chloe, the concert was terrific,” Woody sobbed.
