Alternate Adair County School District Campus plan



2007-09-22 - Adair County Board of Education Conference Room - Photo By CM staff of Gregg Eastham aerial photo.
Consulting Engineer Greg Eastham, Columbia, KY, presented this alternate proposal with the regulation track course with soccer field (yellow oval) and a site for the proposed new elementary school to replace the nearly sixty year old Colonel William Casey Elementary School. That site, with parking, would be within the large rectangle outlined in yellow. For orientation, road in the upper righ corner is Indian Drive, which dogears the Adair County High School complex. Diagonally opposite, in the lower left corner, the thin yellow line is the campus property line, the red lines are the Columbia Western Bypass. The possible development plan was presented at the Thursday, September 20, 2007 meeting of the Adair County School Board.

Lower trout limits return to Cumberland River Mon., Sept. 24, 2007

Stream upper temperature now in high 60s, well below the 75 degree stress temperature for trout. Change affects Burkesville ramp downstream

A protective slot limit on rainbow trout and trophy regulations on brown trout will return Monday, September 24, 2007 to the lower Cumberland River. The affected section includes the Cumberland River from the Burkesville boat ramp in Cumberland County downstream to the state line.

Beginning September 24, anglers will no longer be able to keep 10 trout of any size or species in this section of the lower river. The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources liberalized the creel limit for trout in the lower river earlier this year due to increased water temperatures.
