Road still blocked for FM2 bread man but he's home
2019-03-14 - Cumberland County, KY - Photo by Paul Sullivan, Farmers Market bread booth
The popular Farmers Market booth owner that everyone knows as "the bread man from Burkesville" has reported in on the high water around his place. He is still locked in but Cumberland County EMS has been his "Godsend", rafting him in and out. He had to stay in the hospital for eight days but they got him there and then brought him safely home where he made these photos yesterday. The one on the left shows his still-flooded driveway at his home on Goose Creek. He said water from the Wolf Creek Dam release is still pushing the creek 40 yards outside its boundaries and has his drive totally covered. On the right, well, he said his farm still looks like a lake. He ended his note with, "We need some dry weather coming after the storm, please keep us in your prayers." Comments | Permalink

City-County Industrial Park roads considered

Mark Dykes, standing, Chairman of the Columbia-Adair County Economic Development Authority, was on the agenda concerning the usage of incoming TVA funds. Last year, state lawmakers allowed the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) to hand funds over to 39 eligible counties (including Adair) in-lieu-of paying the typical 5% tax to the state on gross sales (as a federal entity they are exempt from paying property taxes). The funds must be used toward economic development. The jointly owned city and county Green River Industrial Park was annexed into the city limits after sewer lines were installed a few years back. Extending the road with this plan will make more lots easily accessible to future employers who come to examine what the location has to offer. Comments | Permalink

Birds of Kentucky: Cardinal in Columbia

Maybe this last week of winter 2019 won't be too hard for the birds. Even though the weather has been warm for a few days, there's still a chance for freezing temperatures and it never hurts to leave a little extra food out for them. Comments | Permalink
