Thanks to TVA for aid with barge

With all the bad press about TVA, I hope everyone noticed the small article on page B3 of the June 25 paper. That unsightly river barge was refloated after weeks of effort, according to the headline. The last paragraphs “lauded efforts by TVA to draw down the river level by four or five inches …” and went on to quote the project manager, Brock Sparks, as saying, “Without TVA’s help there’s no way we could have done it.”

Many thanks, TVA. That was an ugly mess.
