Joe Ballou within 3.25 pounds of pecan record

One hundred pounds of kernels from two Rives Kerbow trees would far eclipse previous record for his trees, and he thinks it would be a record for Adair County
Click on headline for complete story, 5 photos
By Ed Waggener

Joe Ballou says that he has now shelled 96.75 pounds of pecans from two of his trees this year. "That will be a record for Adair County," I believe. One hundred pounds of pecans kernels from two trees is one he set, an arbitrary figure, he admits--but an honorable and monumental one, too.

With pecans selling in the supermarket for as much as $12 a pound in cans, that would give this year's harvest from his Old Springfield Road farm in District 6 of Adair County a street value of over $1200.

Repairs made to scenic Old Clearsprings Road

By Ed Waggener

Old Clearsprings Road creek crossings were repaired this past week by the Adair County Road Department this week, making travel across the scenic connector lane much easier and safer.

Washouts from the February 6, 2008 floods had made travel difficult across the road until now.

Two of the three drybridges on the short road were repoured this week under the supervision of the ACRD's Gary Samuell and Terry Williams, who completed the work with the help of four Adair County Regional Jail inmate workers.

Adair PDB meeting July 18, 2006: A design bombshell

Administrative Office of the Courts, DLZ surprise local Adair Justice Development Board with radically different design concept dictated by concerns for security, rapidly growing Drug Court

By Ed Waggener

The July 18, 2006 meeting of the Adair County Justice Center Project Development Board (PDB) was almost cancelled. Two members, Judge Jimmy Weddle and AoC representative Douglas Teague were unable to attend. Even the typing of the agenda was put off until a few hours before the meeting because the uncertainty about whether the meeting would be held.

It was to have been a routine meeting, but when meeting came to architect's report, and the DLZ architectural firm opened its presentation, a design bombshell fell, along with a few cherry bombs and firecrackers. It was, by PDB standards, an explosive meeting.
