Norfolk Southern plans “Safety Blitz”
On Wednesday, April 14, Norfolk Southern (NS) Railway will conduct a “Safety Blitz” near the Kingston Fossil Plant as part of Operation Lifesaver. NS and TVA police will briefly stop traffic at various locations along Swan Pond Road, from 6:30 a.m. to 9:00 a.m. Wednesday to assist the local NS safety committee in distributing safety literature to motorists.
Operation Lifesaver is a non-profit, international, continuing public education program established to end collisions, deaths and injuries at places where roadways cross train tracks and on railroad rights-of-way. For more information on Operation Lifesaver you can visit the Website at http://www.oli.org/about/about_overview.htm.
Five hundred birdhouses to be installed
Five hundred tree swallow birdhouses that were built and purchased locally, will soon be installed at various locations near the river. Tree swallows are excellent birds to use to evaluate ecological effects of the ash on wildlife since they consume insects from the river, are attracted to the birdhouses and return to them every year.
