  • WICHE: Barn swallow population soaring at the farm

    Swallow Rail was the name my Dad gave the farm more than 30 years ago. He wanted it to be relevant, reflecting the spatial and natural qualities of his 18 acres in Western Shelby County. His inspiration came from the swallows that swoop and swerve so adeptly in open fields, catching insects on the fly. The rail of Swallow Rail comes from the two railroad tracks that flank either end of the road.

  • Scream for ice cream at Shelby County Public Library

    "Shushhhh" was not the usual watchword Saturday at the Shelby County Public Library. It was more like, "Let's scream for ice cream!" as the strains of live Bluegrass music and the laughter of hundreds of children and adults ate ice cream, played games and listened to the band Cottonwood in the Hudson Room.

    The event kicked off the Shelby County Public Library's annual Summer Reading Program, with a possible record attendance this year.

  • Getting a thrill from strawberry hill

    After stepping from the shower on Saturday evening, I was greeted by a house full of smoke.

    The windows were open, a fan was blowing, the door between the kitchen and living room was closed, and I was stunned that I wasn’t being roused by the overbearing blare of a smoke alarm. Or maybe that was a bad sign.

    Should I call 9-1-1? Was everyone OK? Where were the flames? What had blown up?

    Well, no and nothing.
