Something smells
Recently, large piles of what appear to be chicken feces and feathers have been accumulating on the grounds of McGinness's airfield near Manor and South 9th.
The recent high winds are probably capable of spreading the particulates from these piles.
Here's a link to information about the potential health hazards of chicken feces:

And do we even want to talk about the smell?

One hour in the hot summer with my garage door open, 200-400 flies would seek shelter quickly. The fly needs a source of heat, water and fats to survive and mate to produce another generation of larvae.
The EPA was called in and fined this farmer for manure by a creek bed. This did not detour him from producing flies and meetings and petitions proceeded. 220 homes were effected by his negligence and vengeance was necessary.
I myself was inclined to call Penn State Ag Services, they did an inspection and reports to government officials if evidence is found. He does not comply with their recommendations and goes on with life.
My answer to this problem is Columbia Codes first, if fails with no results, Penn State Ag Services or EPA.
