February 21, 1978 Around Adair with Ed Waggener The article below first appeared on February 21, 1978. Topics included the cost of Kentucky's dependence on coal for electricity, the dogwood project, a junket to Frankfort, the story of Lakeland Apparel, and how local investments raise the Gross County Product. --Pen By Ed Waggener Kentucky's Ace in the hole? I don't like to go to bed angry, but I did this week when I discovered a $67 fuel adjustment charge on my home electricity bill and after I heard, again that day, that the coal strike is far from over. I wonder, and you wonder, what we'll do if the coal runs out at the generating plant before the coal strike is over. Will the utility company, in whom we have entrusted all our dependence for electrical power, come up with an alternate source? Or will the plants close up, the lights go off, and our houses turn cold while the utility companies tell us to blame the coal miners? And to think, we're in this precarious position and we don't even have buried electrical lines! I'm reminded of the old comic book strip in which everybody was hiring somebody else to do their worrying for them. Of course it didn't work.

Letter: Buffalo in Adair Joe Barbee writes: My understanding is that Adair County was was reached by two major routes. First, was from the Cumberland Gap by several routes Southwest to Lincoln County. Reportedly a huge buffalo trace junction existed there. One trace continued South West to the Neatsville Area where there was a ford across the Green River, before continuing Southwest, along what is now KY 206 toward Columbia.Comments re: The Great Buffalo of Old 2020-02-16 12:16:40 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
