White Sons. 2A 102 Ar 9n BY JAMES MALONE, THE COURIER-JOURNAL "Now we'll be able to take a and we won't be afraid to get in it any more. It's a pretty good feeling," George Benton said. Paducah plant's neighbor receives municipal water By JAMES MALONE The Courier-Journal PADUCAH, Ky. George Benton grows almost 1,100 acres of grain 15 miles west of Paducah.
It would seem to be an idyllic setting except for the water. Benton said the ground water that feeds his well has been contaminated, possibly by discharges from the Paducah Gaseous Diffusion Plant. "You take a bath and hold your nose," Benton said. For three years he has tried to get his home hooked up to the local water system, a service offered to others living around the plant through its owner, the U.S. Department of Energy.
Yesterday, Benton finally got results. Technicians connected city water to Benton's home after he complained Thursday night to the Site Specific Advisory Board, a citizen panel about the that makes diffusion recommendations. The board agreed that Benton should get water immediately. "Hopefully, I stirred up enough stink," Benton said yesterday. "Now we'll be able to take a bath and wash out clothes and we won't be afraid to get in it any more.
It's a pretty good The Energy Department began running waterlines to homes around the plant after discoveries in 1988 that solvents and radioactive technetium-99 released from the plant were showing up in residential wells. The government insists the plant has not fouled Benton's wells. Under the department's policy, anyone within a designated area got free water, even if the well water tested OK. Recently the department said everyone on Bethel Church Road had been supplied with free city water. But Benton knew better.
To qualify for free city water under the Energy Department's policy, recipients must agree to cap any existing wells and never drill other wells on the property. That has worked for the 100 customers the Energy Department is paying to serve. But according to the department and the West McCracken Water District, Benton's landlord, Elliott Raf- Ashland escapee may have received aid COLUMBUS, Ohio The arrest of an escapee from a federal work camp in Kentucky could result in more indictments, the U.S. Marshals Service said.

Associated Press 0.0 1: ferty, was reluctant to give up the right to drill a well anywhere else on his property, which extended far beyond the area where the underground water was tainted. The department's policy appeared to have been waived when technicians hooked up the water. Benton's frustration had grown over the years as city waterlines came within sight of the property line, then within 50 feet of his home about a month ago.
He and his wife, Joyce, say they have unexplained illnesses and said their daughter, Lesley Benton Rushing, who also lives on the farm, suffered miscarriages in 1997 and 1998. Bill Tanner, West McCracken Water superintendent, thinks the recent controversy about the diffusion plant's pollution had distracted the Energy Department from giving the go-ahead to extend water service to Benton's home. Benton said the health department condemned the drinking-water well near his house years ago and he has been drawing water from another well near a hog barn. "But they tell me it's just as bad," Benton said. Benton, who has lived on the farm for about 12 years, said he and his family drank the water until about three years ago.
Then he started buying water at Wal-Mart. Over the years, people working for the government have tested his well water. Benton said they told him they found traces of plant contaminants, but not at levels that would make it unsafe to drink. "I don't believe a thing those guys tell me," he said. But Steve Wyatt, an Energy Department spokesman, said tests on Benton's well had shown "no detectable levels of contaminants." The testing supervisor with the McCracken County Health Department could not be reached for comment yesterday.

The automated system tells callers when the inmate will be released or next appear in court. U.S. marshals arrested King and his former girlfriend, Jennifer F. Collins, 19, Wednesday outside a hotel in Mansfield, Balzer said.
Both are from Columbus. Authorities say King walked away from the Federal Correctional Institute Satellite Camp in Ashland, on Oct. 6, while serving a three-year sentence for robbing a bank in Columbus on Jan. 23. He could be sentenced to up to five more years if convicted of escape, U.S.
Magistrate Terence Kemp said Thursday. King was being held yesterday in the Franklin County jail. Collins was arrested for failing to appear in court on a forgery charge that was filed when she tried to cash a bad check, Balzer said. She was released on bond Thursday. Collins had been a student at Ohio Northern University in Ada.
Her parents earlier had questioned whether their daughter was being held against her will while with King, but Balzer said that doesn't appear to be the case. Memorial Dignified traditional funerals from $2,495 Call 1-800-684-9346 Offered exclusively through Louisville's finest funeral providers..
