Stream Straightening Project: Culvert arrived in pieces



2015-06-12 - Intersection, Campbellsville & Fariground Streets, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener.
Open in time for the Fair & the Fourth? - The huge culvert being installed to prevent flooding by Town Creek on Campbellsville Street arrived in pieces and is being assembled onsite. Its shape is a result of design, not from mashing a round duct into an oval one using a trackhoe as a hammering device, as some humorists at public coffee tables around the county have been suggesting. The project started May 18, 2015, scheduled to be complete in six weeks, and is now well past the half-way point of completion. The project is now in day 27 of 42 days planned. If the predicted time frame holds, completion could occur prefer the end of June, 2015, well before the start of the Adair County Fair on July 4, 2015, and over a month before the start of Adair County School on Wednesday, August 5, 2015 and Lindsey Wilson College two Wednesdays later, on August 19, 2015. - EW

Heather Evans: Warning - spraying is headed your way

Organic farm, pets, children, bees, even a grotto put at risk, writer says.. Property 15 years poison free takes a hit.
Click on headline for commentary of pictures of the beautiful Adair County country development writer is trying to protect.

Commentary by Heather Evans

The county sprayed today. We had asked our magistrate last year to put us on the no spray list. Apparently he forgot to do so. We are organic.

My property has not seen poison in 15 years, my mom's even longer.
