WINSTON COUNTY- Winston County Commission Chairman David Cummings reported at 7:30 a.m. on Saturday January 11, that all Winston County roads were deemed passable, but a travel advisory was still listed due to ice lingering on roads and bridges.
"Travel is not advised, but if necessary, use extreme caution due to the potential of slick roads, bridges and black ice," Cummings stated.
Residents seemed to better adhere to warnings to stay off the roads during the two to four inches of snow the area received in the winter storm early Friday, Jan. 10, Cummings reported.

NAUVOO - The Camp McDowell Farm School recently purchased a new tractor to replace one the camp has been using since at least 1987 using a $30,000 grant from the Alabama Association of Research, Conservation and Development Councils (AARCDC).
"We are funded by the state legislature," explained Mary Kendall Dixon, AARCDC's communications specialist. "There are nine local RC&D councils and our state office, so we split that money among all ten councils. To apply for a state grant, your project has to affect three or more council areas."
