Pyles Recycling: expanding firm is helping the environment 2013-08-15 - 221 Corporate Drive, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Out of sight and seldom seen scene. Pyles Recycling is a busy and expanding environmental enterprise. Danny & Sandy Pyles believe that this year will see dramatic increases in their recycling business. This is a part of the "factory" area, where scrap wood is turned into bio-mass fuel. The semi being loaded is headed to Cox Interiors in Campbellsville, which will use the fuel to generate electricity for the plant. Other uses for the salvaged wood includes mulch for landscaping. The company is proving that being green is also a very good business model. That's what Danny Pyles is preaching as the company expands.

Jimmy Reliford's Excalibur led the procession from Stotts-Phelps-McQueary Funeral Home Home to Antioch.

By the time it began, every available space had been filled. Yesterday afternoon, the community was still assessing the impact this remarkable man has had on the community, and what lies ahead without him.

The Fairground Street project II: Almost done Aug. 14, 2013 2013-08-15 - Fairground Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Soon, smooth sailing out Fairground Street to the ribbon of road in the center above, Liberty Road/KY 206. Too smooth according to many residents of the area, who think drivers, already going far too fast along the stretch, will now go even faster. This was the way the looked Wednesday afternoon, August 14, 2013 looking east past the Greenhills Road - still with no stop light - over the Russell Creek Bridge toward Burton Ridge on KY 206.
