We want to shout out thanks to the Toxic Soup boys. If it wasn't for a lot of their film work putting a face on Ashland's shenanigans we would be just another wide spot in the road. Here is an article from the Big Sandy News about the visit of reporter Nina Magoley from German radio WDR to the area, gathering material about Ashland Oil's radioactive mess for a German audience. It's amazing that it has become more likely for a reporter to come from Germany to Martha, Kentucky than from Lexington or Louisville. That sound of crickets chirping is the level of interest from our state's major media centers.
However, not only was the Big Sandy News on the story, but so was the Paintsville Herald. So its good to know that while the big media boys in Lexington and Louisville were sleeping, as usual, local reporting was still playing a vital role in the community. Those big newspapers may be dinosaurs, but small town local papers are still alive and kicking.
By the way, anybody ever seen Wade Smith when he's NOT wearing shades?
