| Collinsville Soil Program Winding Down -- I suspect you may not have paid much attention to this ad (which also ran last week) as this type of soil program ad have been running for a few years now in Collinsville ... but this marks the end of this phase of a remarkable program. At no charge to home/business owners, soil and been tested all over town for contaminants and in many cases (~250) the soil was removed and the properties restored with "clean" dirt, grass, and in some cases even the old brick sidewalks. I had this story on my wish list all summer to expand on, but it has not made it to the top of my school driven priority list. It's not gonna happen today either, but I did want to leave this note as a place holder for that future article here on cvilleok. If you have comments you would like to add on the program or related topics (smelter / EPA Cleanup / health concerns / old brick sidewalks, etc ...) please email them to : wrightted@aol.com -- Ted Wright -- October 24, 2013 |

JV Update |
| -- The Collinsville Junior Varsity Football Team traveled to Coweta Monday night (Oct. 21). Several freshmen made the trip to Coweta to give the JV much needed depth in several positions. The contest was a continuation from last Friday night slugfest. Both sides played good defense and moved the ball well. But in the end the Coweta Tigers put more points on the scoreboard. Tigers win 21-6. No serious injuries were reported.-- Coach Tom Redding (10/22/2013) |
