Whitfield makes statement on Lake Cumberland water levels

From Congressman Ed Whitfield

WASHINGTON, DC - U.S. Rep. Ed Whitfield (KY-01), Chairman of the House Subcommittee on Energy and Power, today released the following statement regarding the plan by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service that would delay the raising of water levels on Lake Cumberland:
"The bloated bureaucracy that exists under the Obama Administration is once again acting to the detriment of Kentuckians. When the Corps first began construction on the Wolf Creek Dam cutoff wall, they made assurances that local businesses, lake levels, and marina owners would not be impacted. Not only did the Corps not fulfill their word on those matters, they were delayed in finishing construction and now are refusing to raise the lake levels to normal pool.

"This latest flip-flop by the Corps, regardless of how they have justified it, is disappointing. I am calling on the Corps and the Fish and Wildlife to act swiftly to resolve this issue. Going forward, the people in the Lake Cumberland area have my word that I will explore all avenues and monitor this issue closely."

History Tidbit: Jim discovers Wolford Spring for first time

By Jim

Just wondering if anyone ever heard of the Wolford Spring. I came across this mention in the August 26, 1914 News:
"The Methodist Sunday School will meet and enjoy a picinc at Wolford Spring, on the premises of G.A. Smith, next Saturday, near the residence of Dr. C.M. Russell."
In the 1920 census, the G.A. (George) Smith family and the Dr. C.M. Russell family were neighbors on Greensburg Street. If I have my facts straight (hey, there's a first time for everything!), this would have been not far removed from where Col. & Mrs. Wolford had lived. Jim

Traffic: Semi crash on Western KY Parkway creates EB delays

(From Chris Jessie at 9:45amCT, Thursday, January 30, 2014) - A mid-morning tractor trailer crash may cause delays for eastbound motorists traveling on the Wendell H. Ford Western Kentucky Parkway in Grayson County near Mile Point 100.

The westbound semi crossed the median and struck a rock wall on the eastbound side. Though the semi did not come to rest in any travel lanes, eastbound closure will be required to remove the vehicle from the eastbound shoulder and right of way. Eastbound motorists should exit the parkway at Exit 94 (Caneyville) and take US 62 east to Leitchfield and rejoin the parkway at the 107 interchange.

Cleanup is expected to take two to four hours, depending on the structural stability of the trailer, Chris Jessie, Public Information Officer, Kentucky Highway Department District 4, Elizabethtown.
