Adair County, City of Columbia win top PRIDE awards Adair County Garden Club along with CJE Ann Melton, Magistrates Danny Goodin (1) Billy Dean Coffey (5) and Joe Rogers (6) and AC PRIDE Coordinator Lisa Lee, Vonnie Kolbenschlag, accept award in Somerset Click on headline for detailed story with photo By Cindy Lackey SOMERSET, KY -- While gearing up for a spring cleaning, communities learned the impact of their fall cleanup campaign. During recent planning workshops for PRIDE Spring Cleanup Month, which will be in April, Eastern Kentucky PRIDE announced the results of Roadside PRIDE Month, which was held last October. The counties that won Roadside PRIDE Awards were Owsley in Class 1, Adair County in Class 2, Perry in Class 3 and Pike in Class 4. The winning cities were Livingston in Class 1, Beattyville in Class 2, Manchester in Class 3 and the City of Columbia, KY in Class 4. The Tri-Cities Heritage Development Corporation, which represents Harlan County's Benham, Cumberland and Lynch, won the Roadside PRIDE Award for Nonprofit Organizations. Roadside PRIDE is an anti-litter campaign in 38 counties of southern and eastern Kentucky. It is sponsored by Eastern Kentucky PRIDE, the nonprofit organization that guides the region's environmental cleanup and education initiative. "Our tourists saw clean roads last fall, thanks to the volunteers and local governments that joined forces in Roadside PRIDE," said Karen Engle, who heads Eastern Kentucky PRIDE. "Let's build on that momentum as we prepare for tourists to return this spring. Please volunteer for the Spring Cleanup." "Congratulations to the communities that won Roadside PRIDE Awards," Engle added. "Cleaning our environment is a team effort, and your teams were on top of their game in October. I challenge all communities to put their best team on the floor in April. You could bring home a Spring Cleanup trophy." During Roadside PRIDE Month, 2,935 volunteers worked 13,637 hours to pick up litter along 1,318 road miles. The region-wide cleanup effort netted 16,113 bags of trash, 1,396 tires and 416 appliances. Roadside PRIDE Month featured a friendly competition among local governments, which are in charge of organizing cleanup activities. They earned points for recruiting volunteers and collecting trash. Trophies went to the top scorers in population-based classes, with Class 1 being the smallest populations and Class 4 being the largest. This was the 6th annual Roadside PRIDE Month. Eastern Kentucky PRIDE provided cleanup supplies to volunteers and reimbursed local governments for their trash disposal expenses. The 12th annual PRIDE Spring Cleanup will be held in April. Eastern Kentucky PRIDE is working with local governments and organizations to recruit volunteers to pick up roadside litter and beautify welcome areas just as tourist season begins. Volunteers can find local Spring Cleanup events by visiting www.kypride.org and clicking their county on the map. The toll-free number for the PRIDE office is 888-577-4339.
