CJE Ann Melton needs citizen help for flood damage relief To the People of Adair County, Kentucky: I am currently working with officials in Frankfort and Washington trying to get help for the residents of Adair County who received flood damage and for the road repairs that are needed. I have been told that we need a complete report of damages done to residential housing, bridges, roads, business and agriculture. The only way we can get this accurate assessment is for residents who received damage to fill out the reporting forms. I have been informed that if you have insurance which will cover the water damage, then FEMA will not assist. If you have received any damage from the flood and have no insurance coverage, we will have personnel set up in the basement of the Annex Building, 424 Public Square, Columbia, KY starting tomorrow, to fill out the forms. I encourage everyone to stop by and fill out assistance forms if you received damage. The times are listed below:
I do assure that I am working diligently to obtain Financial help and the more damage we report for the private sector, the better chance we stand to receive financial help. If you have an any questions, please email acjudge1@duo-county.com or phone (270) 384-4703. Thank you. Ann Melton 2010-05-03 14:58:09 | Comments | Printable version

Billy Joe Fudge: Chance of Chance, KY Reunion? Philosopher/Retired forester/visionary & poet raises prospect of an idea whose time is now: The obvious need to hold a huge reunion in South Adair Co. at Chance. It is a matter of providence, he says. CM thinks it Fantastic Proposal; anything which will bring busloads of Canadian tourists and can sell T-shirts has to be good. By Billy Joe Fudge CM fearlessly endorsed commentary Do you suppose that by any chance and if given half a chance there would be a chance of a Chance Community Reunion? Fat chance you say? Not for me and for those who are willing to take a chance. However, I believe there is a strong chance that there is very little chance of chance but rather one of providence. I can see, smell, hear, taste and feel it now, dinner on the ground, water troughs of iced down Pepsi, Coke, and sodas of all kinds, butcher knife bologna and cheese sandwiches, horse drawn wagon rides, saw horse and plank tables filled with history and flavor, children playing, laughter, tears of joy, Great Wooded South tours to points of interest such as the Greenbrier Ridge, Cheatham Road-Harrods Fork experience, Crocus Creek, and many others. We, all of us, speak with reverence of cherished days gone by and lament the idea that our children, grandchildren and loved ones will not be able to experience those times of lack yet plenty. We haven't lost it. It is still here with us. All we have to do is slow down occasionally to come across it for a while. 2010-05-03 06:40:58 | Comments | Printable version
