EDA considers marketing advice from Brad Thomas

Columbia Adair Economic Development Authority board members heard guest speaker Brad Thomas, representing Eastern KY Power, at the July meeting.

He told the EDA group, "I looked at Adair County and you know what industry has that you aren't promoting? Water!" Adair County is a most well watered place. That's a lot to tell in your recruitment story.

Green space owners ask pet owners to clean up



2023-07-18 - Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com.
Green spaces attract leashed pets for bathroom visits, but it causes problems when humans want to play without stepping in feces. Visitors are requested to carry plastic bags and scoop up the poop and take it with them when a pet uses the toilet on someone else's property.

Letter: Pesticide "Safety"

Wendy Butler Burt writes:
In the many years I worked for the director of the Office of Pesticide Programs (OPP) at the US Environmental Protection Agency in Washington, DC, we NEVER claimed that ANY of our registered pesticide products (insecticides, herbicides, fungicides, rodenticides, disinfectants, etc.) were "safe." OPP's official position, through every administration, remains that, when used according to label directions, pesticides may be "used safely" but they are not "safe." This is not semantics. Remember, all pesticides are formulated specifically to kill something.

Issues around pesticide use are complicated and fascinating. I came away from this interesting and rewarding job with the determination to strictly limit my intentional exposure to pesticides (disinfectants, repellents and termiticides). And although I am a serious gardener, I garden organically.

That said, I try not to criticize anyone for their choice to use pesticides -- as long as all precautions are observed and they limit both exposure to themselves and others.

Letter: Response to helicopter spraying

Richard Grant writes:
The helicopters or drones are spraying fungicides on corn and soy beans. The fungicides are tested and labeled for aerial application. The fungicide controls and prevents a disaster call "Rust". The amount of "drift" of spray depends upon the wind.

Aerial application of the fungicide is designed to be targeted to the plant. It is safe and Carrie's an EPA registration number. The helicopters and drones are very aware of people and houses and will avoid flying over people and houses. Fungicides do not hurt pollinators such as bees. The "Carbon foot print" is less with helicopters and drones than with farm equipment sprayers. (Ground Application). To answer your question, Aerial Application of fungicides is safe.
