Proud Americans, in foregound of where the devil fell from Hell

1st LT Shane Pollard, far left, with his unit, the 1st Platoon 18th, EOD (Explosive Ordinance Disposal team), in Tall Afar, Iraq. The photo originally was published in the first edition of Prometheus Gazette, which is edited by 1st LT Pollard. It was taken at dusk. In the background you can slightly see an extended section of the Sinjar mountain range. "Sinjar," a writer in Prometheus Gazette notes, means "where the devil fell from Hell." 1LT Pollard is the son of Melody and George Pollard of Columbia, KY.

Deep freeze causes two water main breaks on Tutt Street



2007-02-05 - Tutt & Burkesville Streets, Columbia, KY - Photo By Ed Ed Waggener.
Columbia Utilities General Manager Jim Williams, and Water and Sewer Superintendent Dana Rogers handled traffic control as utilities workers were in the midst of their second water main break on Tutt Street on Monday, February 5, 2007. Williams blamed the break on the cold weather and the aging cast iron main, installed many decades ago, on Tutt Street. Also in the photo are, from left, Phillip Stotts, Steve Breeding, and Jaremy Austin. The operator is Wally Grant. The crews are replacing the cast iron pipe with PVC, which stands up many times better to conditions in Columbia. The break took its toll on water loss, as the crew tried to minimize water cut-offs. Unfortunately, Doggone Classy, the pet store on the corner, had to be without water during while the remedies were applied, but that was the only location to be without during the operation.
