Diligence pays off. Mike Keltner, Adair County Emergency Management Director, and Melinda Quinn, County Treasurer, were definitely relieved after the last payment from FEMA arrived this month. Though applied for in 2010, Keltner had worked on the original request for $97,000 since 2015. After multiple appeals he was able to secure the funds needed to reimburse the fiscal court which paid for the rebuilding of Purdy-Sano Bridge which suffered major structural damage during flooding almost nine years ago. - TK Comments | Permalink

What might this big old house say if walls could talk?

Discovered on the road near the Tennessee line, Photographer Tommy Bailey writes of this beautiful ruin, "Once Upon A Time this old home, I'm sure, was a majestic piece of art, the talk of all the surrounding neighborhoods, but now it's slowly being reclaimed by mother nature. Just think if these walls could talk what stories would be revealed. It would be interesting to know what the building cost was back then as compared to today's prices." Comments | Permalink
