Concerned about any altering of natural flow of creek

Comments re photo 41153. The concern for protecting the Wastewater Plant

Sammy Kassem writes:
I totally understand the concern for trying to protect any major investment. I also have a major investment as do others upstream from the sewer plant. Floods last May and in 1985 both put water levels at over 6 feet in my basement. Streams have a natural flow, that if altered or restricted basically creates a dam. Any restriction, no doubt will destroy my home place thats been in my family 4 generations. Long before any sewer plant was ever built. I am very concerned as to what studies need to be done before anything is built to choke the flow of russell creek. Thank You, - Sammy Kassem
Thanks. It will be interesting to see what the findings are on the proposed solutions to problem at the wastewater plant. Hopefully, the plant can be protected, quickly, without endangering structures on upstream banks. Wonder if you also have any concerns about the fast run-off from construction and paving on higher elevations, as well? In our part of town, along the Town Creek, flooding has gotten progressively worse with more construction, more paving and and reduced vegetation on higher levels. -EW

Animal Shelters: Russell goes to Pulaski; Metcalfe to Edmonson

Both former clients of Adair's shelter are taking care of situation responsibly. Agrees with previous writer that pet owners need to act responsibly, too.

Heather Evans writes:
Russell county is now taking their animals to Pulaski county shelter and Metcalfe is taking their animals to Edmonson county. I agree with Mr. Armitage that until all pet owners take responsibility to spay/neuter their pets, keep ID on their collars and commit to their pets for a lifetime, overpopulation will continue to be a problem in this area. --Heather Evans

Tired of having animals dumped near his home!

Wayne Armitage writes:
So I guess that now that Russell and Metcalfe counties are pulling out that means they now have an animal rescue of their own. Or could it just be that they are going back to the old way of just letting the animals go to breed and get Rabies. I just don't see how going backwards is the way to resolve the issue. We already have way too many Puppy and Cat Mills. We don't need anymore. Until the Citizens of all of Kentucky can be responsible pet owners, it is time to stop the dumping of animals. I know of several Citizens who won't have their pets spayed or neutered because they have a nice set. Well, I can no longer take care of any more of your family pets. Until you citizens take responsibility for your own actions, don't make it a burden on the rest or the government.--Wayne Armitage

Vanished Silent City reminds historian of important legacies

Historical Marker should be erected to honor Captain Jack Squires and his men, he says, giving hint of a great adventure by these Adair County patriots

By Chris Bennett

The story of Captain Jack Squires is a great Adair County story. My GGG Grand father Elisha Bennett, and his brothers Robert and Oliver went with Captain Jack to the City of Mexico, all three returned to Adair County after the war.

I have often wondered why Captain Jack and his men have no Historical marker, I can't imagine what an adventure they had traveling all the way to the City of Mexico, "whippin 'em", and then returning with that lead casket.

These are Adair County Stories that shouldn't be forgotten.

--Chris Bennett
