Computers. Computers. Computers. To Knoxville, then China 2011-10-03 - 167 Service Road, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Adair County Solid Waste Coordinator A. L. Sinclair and Adair County Judge Executive Ann Melton are dwarfed by the pallets of computers brought in to the Adair County Recycling Center. There were 18 pallets of 15-16 computers per pallet collected by Monday afternoon, October 3, 2011. The computers will be shipped to Scott Computer Recycling in Knoxville, TN where they will be disassembled, with similar parts put into barrels for shipment to China. The return is less than for other recyclables, Mr. Sinclair said, but at least there is now a market for the devices, which do contain toxic materials and should be recycled properly.

Dakota Meyer and Mayor Harris, holding sign shared a laugh as the new highway sign which while be erected near Downey's Mill on KY 61 North. The stretch of KY 61 to the Green County line has been designated the Dakota Meyer Highway by Kentucky Secretary of Transportation Michael Hancock. A letter from Secretary Hancock was read by Adair County Judge Ann Melton, at podium. The laughter was a quip by Sgt. Meyer, wondering how long it would be before the sign would be stolen.

Adair Co. Salutes Dakota Meyer: Main arteries clogged 2011-10-03 - Jamestown Street, Columbia, KY - Photo aerial photograph by Alan Reed and Perry Parrish. Well before the event started and before the spectators and participants jamed Blue Raider Stadium - the bright blue oval in the upper right corner of the photograph, vehicles bound for the event had already converged to clog Jamestown south of Russell Road and Russell Road on both sides of the Robert L. Miller Drive entrance to Lindsey Wilson Sports Park. And this was before the long rolling procession was joined at the Intersection of Russell Road and Jamestown Street, mid point on left side of photo. For three point orientation: The lower right corner shows the Columbia Best Western and the Storage barns, with their distinctive Blue Roofs. On the mid point at left, there's Franklin Nissan, Nation's Medicine, the Five-Star and Michael Stephens' Office Park Development. Smack dab in the center is Tractor Supply, to Dickey's BBQ, with it's bright yellow sign standing out; and in the upper right are the bridges over Russell Creek on KY 80 and the Louie B. Nunn, and to the left of that, the Ironweed Bottoms on Dr. Webb's place. Also, the large gray parking area beside the cellphone tower is the huge, now graveled Gaston Avenue Parking lot, which will accommodate some 300 cars. The Blue Topped structure next to it is a Joe Pyles' project everybody is watching to see if he'll make a go of this one, bless his heart. And, oh yes, in the upper left can be seen another Mike Stephens project, his new little house, to the right of which is the parking area of Westlake Regional Hospital. That's just part of what's going on in this aerial shot taken on a perfect day on the ground, but a difficult flying one. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Adair Co. Salutes Dakota Meyer: A special salute, a moment 2011-10-03 - Blue Raider Stadium, 820 Hanley Lane, Columbia, KY - Photo by Cindy Melton. As though God is Smiling: My name is Cindy Melton, and I took this photo today (2011-10-02) shortly after the gun salute from the Columbia VFW Post 6097. I wanted to submit it because I like the fact you can see a veteran saluting in the bottom corner, the flag waving in the breeze, and the sun beaming down on us all as though God is smiling. My dad Robert Brockman is a veteran of World War II. I am proud of him and all our veterans. -CINDY MELTON Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
