Former Columbia Water Supt. suggests ascending rates The Harper Plan: The more you use, the more the cost per unit of water consumed Former Columbia Utilities Water Superintendent Jimmy Harper says that the issue surrounding Columbia/Adair Utilities District could be solved with an ascending rate structure. "The more water you use," he said, "the more you'd pay." Harper said that would take care of everyone. Users of modest means would pay their share, he said, but would not be subsidizing the wealthiest enterprises. 2013-02-26 10:27:18 | Comments | Printable version

My friend, Jolene Wuertenberg was there. She had placed a large number of dogs and was preparing them for rescue. I spied the coolest looking Beagle/Basset mix. He was gray and white, not a color you see in hounds. I asked her what his story was and she said he was originally scheduled for rescue but it had fallen through and he was in danger of euthanasia. I love all dogs, but Beagles have a special part of my heart. A dog this cute would be no problem finding a home.

Taylor County will utilize Adair's Green River Animal Shelter By Larry Smith, FM 92.7 the WAVE and Ed Waggener, CM The Taylor County Fiscal Court meeting last night, Monday, February 25, 2013, in Campbellsville, KY, voted to send stray dogs and cats to the Green River Animal Shelter in Columbia. GRAS will receive $44 for every animal received. The action was taken following the recent closing of the Taylor County Animal Shelter in Campbellsville, KY. Adair County Judge Ann Melton had announced earlier that she is negotiating with Russell County Fiscal Court to have their stray dogs and cats at the Adair County shelter. Issues of overhead costs and contributions are now being addressed in a more equitable manner, she said. The animal shelter had become a very heavy burden for one county to carry. The deficit had been in the 90 percent plus range, over $90,000, the equivalent of one new bridge a year for Adair County. 2013-02-26 05:58:34 | Comments | Printable version

Tine Reynolds comments on the changes does, however, remind us that with 'progress' and urbanization, some things are lost forever. By Tine Reynolds Personal perspective of author on history of Esto "What happened to Phelps Acres gone, yea, several years now?" Thanks in part to JIM in this publication, the charming stories still abound about Esto and also Phelps Acres, even though Esto no longer exists and neither does Phelps Acres, for that matter.
