Controlled burn darkens sky Mon 30 Mar 2015 2015-03-31 - Bliss, Adair County, KY . A number of people were concerned yesterday, Monday, March 30, 2015, when a smoky cloud darkened the sky over a a large number of acres and a few complained of the smoke they, wildlife, and farm animals inhaled during the process. It apparently wasn't a fire out of control, just a controlled burn of a CREP field, but it sent deer and other wild animals scurrying, and made it difficult to breathe in as far away as the Louie B. Nunn Parkway and near Columbia Super Walmart. The photographer didn't give her/his vantage point, but the Raider Bob water tower appears, through the haze, to be on the right, horizon. It's a bit of a reminder to those doing controlled burns that neighbors should matter. - CM Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

KY Transportation Cabinet District 8 studying Bypass safety 2015-03-31 - Near Adair County Veterans Memorial Bypass/KY 61 bypass - Photo by CM contributing photographer. Survey crews from the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, District 8, Somerset, KY, have been studying changes to make the Adair County Veterans Bypass at the Burkesville Street/Road intersection safer, and have been very busy in the past few days, since the March 29, 2015 two vehicle collision which cost the lives of three people. This unit of the safety team was seen the intersection yesterday. (Note from photographer One new spin on the solution to the problem proposed by the photographer: The speed limit differential on the two roads is too great at the intersection is two great. It's 55 mph on the bypass and on Burkesville Road, and 35 on Burkesville Street, making it very difficult for drivers entering the intersection to judge the speed of ongoing or crossing vehicles. ) Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
