Governor highlights new build-ready location in Adair Co. From Crystal Staley/Brandon Mattingly Frankfort, KY - On Monday, March 18, 2024, Gov. Andy Beshear highlighted continued momentum of the commonwealth's site development efforts with the announcement of a new Build-Ready location in Adair County, positioning the community for future investment and job creation. The site at the Green River Commerce Park, at 238 Development Drive in Columbia, adds to the state's growing list of properties certified by the Kentucky Cabinet for Economic Development as Build-Ready. These sites are available statewide for companies looking to locate in the commonwealth and start construction and operations quickly. Adair County Judge/Executive Larry Russell Bryant spoke about the benefits for a company to locate in the area: "Adair County has been relatively stagnant when it comes to manufacturing jobs since the 1980s, so this certified Build-Ready pad, I believe, will be a key component to letting companies know that Adair County is 'open for business.' We have a very strategic location, located on the Heartland Parkway, and only minutes from the Cumberland Parkway, landing you on I-65 or I-75 within an hour. I am so thankful for Gov. Andy Beshear and Secretary Jeff Noel for providing programs and opportunities for communities like Adair County to complete projects like this pad at 50% cost to our community. That makes a huge difference for us. This certified Build-Ready pad gets us so much closer to our dream of good-paying, manufacturing jobs right here at home becoming reality!" Columbia Mayor Pam Hoots showed support for the project: "We are excited about the prospects that the Build-Ready status gives to our community."

Kentucky Color: Uprooted trees By Billy Joe Fudge Those hurricane force winds last summer did more than damage the roofs on our homes and businesses. I'm finding many trees uprooted in our forests. If you have several blown over, you might be able to salvage many of them if you don't wait too long, since they still have a few roots intact which will keep them alive for a period of time. On another note, contrary to popular belief, most mature trees do not have tap roots. Most of a tree's roots are in the top 18 to 24 inches of the soil.

Carol Perkins: Squirrel Soup Previous column: Purple Chicks By Carol Perkins We are overrun with squirrels. Watching them scamper from tree to tree is enjoyable, but watching them dig in my flowerbed and look for bulbs brings out evil thoughts. They are getting too familiar. Every time I put out birdfeed, I find one sitting in the feeder tray, having lunch. They come one at a time, taking turns. How generous of them. They also nibble on the wires under the car. That is not so nice. When our son purchased his dad's truck and drove it back to Texas, he bragged about how well it drove. The following week, he took it for an inspection (a law there), and the mechanic asked him about what varmints lived around him. Jon knew what he meant-Kentucky squirrels. The mechanic said the rascals had nibbled on every wire. It's lucky Jon made it home. Squirrels once knew their place. They stayed in the woods, avoided shotguns or rifles (even BB guns), and didn't trespass. Today, they feel right at home in subdivisions with trees and backyards.

Researching Compton ancestors in Nell, Elroy, and Gradyville Leslie Lindsay is a writer with ties to Adair Co (her great-grandmother was Cora Belle Compton b. 1894 to George H. Compton and Nancy Alice Gosser Compton). She writes, "I'm mostly interested in my great-grandmother, Cora Belle Compton, and her early years in Adair County. The 1900, 1910, and 1920 census records put her in Nell, Elroy, and Gradyville." Leslie shared a couple of great old photos of Russell Compton, possibly taken in Edmonton, KY (click story title to view them both).

KSP arrests two from Russell Co. in Child Abuse investigation By Trooper Jonathan Houk Russell Springs, KY - On March 15, 2024, the Kentucky State Police (KSP) Post 15 received a call of a possible criminal child abuse that had occurred earlier this week in Russell Springs. A KSP Trooper spoke with an individual in Green County in regards to the safety of his children. The Trooper learned that on March 12, 2024, a 10-month-old child had been taken to the Russell County Hospital and transported to the University of Kentucky Hospital by helicopter for treatment of serious injuries. The child's injuries were reported to the hospital, and the Russell Springs Police Department, to have been sustained after being attacked by an unknown stray dog. Russell County first responders had responded to the area and attempted to locate the stray dog but their efforts were unsuccessful. On March 15, 2024, Troopers responded to a residence on Bluebird Drive in Russell Springs to speak with the child's mother and her boyfriend. As the investigation progressed, Troopers determined the dog that had attacked the child actually belonged to the couple, and was not a stray. The boyfriend had concealed the location of the couple's dog after the incident causing local first responders to use resources searching for a stray dog that did not exist.
