Competent, timely snow removal doesn't go unnoticed Little House of Fabrics owner Kathy Jones sends letter to City Hall. Mayor Hardwick said credit should go to Street Superintendent Donnie Rowe, who in turn gave due credit to Tim Smith and Roger Coffey, the Columbia Police Department and Adair County EMD Mike Keltner and others, for now to do most effective work making streets safe. It's all a matter of timing, Rowe says. Click on headline for complete story with facsimile of letter By Ed Waggener Almost with failure, failures and shortcomings receive numerous complaints. Too many times, outstanding performance and competence goes unnoticed. But Columbia business owner Kathy Jones, was prompted to write a letter to City Hall commending the work of the Columbia Street Department during the January snowstorm. She's not in the City Limits, but couldn't help but acknowledge their work. Her letter, which went to City Hall and Mayor Hardwick, is posted as a photo linked to this story. Mayor Hardwick, in turn, gave full credit to the City's Street Department, and its Superintendent, Donnie Rowe, who, in turn, insisted on sharing the credit with Tim Smith and Roger Coffey. Donnie Rowe said that timing in snow/ice clearing is the most important element is keeping the streets clear, and that he relies on Mayor Hardwick to have the department on alert, and begins snowplow and salting work when it will do the most good, relying on advice from the Columbia Police Department and Adair County Emergency Manager Mike Keltner, and other reliable sources before beginning the work. This saves money, time, and gives a safety edge when the streets are tackled, Superintendent Rowe said. Rowe said that the city has 43 miles - 86 lane miles - of streets to clear. They go from Russell Creek on the East Side of Columbia Westwood on the West, and include most of the Green Hills area. North to South, the City is responsible for streets in the City Limits adjoining Dillon Street (a state road) south to Creek Bend Road off KY 55. This story was posted on 2018-02-01 10:03:45
