A retaining wall collapsed early Wednesday morning at Asheville Regional Airport. Engineers on site determined heavy rain from the previous night's deluge brought down the west wall on Ferncliff Park Drive, said airport spokeswoman Tina Kinsey.

Part of the north wall and the south wall also have been damaged, Kinsey said. However, no erosion has occurred, and the road itself remains useable.

Airport management, contractors and engineers were already working on the issue by the daybreak Wednesday. They were meeting on Christmas Eve to discuss what the long-term remedy will be to fix the damaged area.

The west wall has been under construction the last few months and is part of the airport's development area. Its collapse will not affect air travel, Kinsey said.

If poetry lifts the veil from the hidden beauty of the world, Andrea Vincent can take a little credit for making it a better place.

After reading a Fixer column, the 89-year-old widow persuaded the city to use one of her late husbands poems on a plaque mounted to a wall on St. Clair Ave.

In July of 2012, we wrote about an odd rectangular slot in a new retaining wall at the northeast corner of St. Clair and Spadina Rd., which had people wondering what it was for.

We reported that a city engineer said the slot was meant to hold a plaque with a poem on it, part of a project called Poetry on the Street, and that it would eventually be filled.

We forgot about it until an email recently arrived from Peter Vincent Jr., which included an old-fashioned, typewritten letter from his mother, which he scanned and attached to his note.

In her letter, Andrea Vincent said that after reading our column, she thought that one of the many poems written by her late husband, Peter, would be a worthy candidate for the vacancy in the wall.

You see, my husband was a true Renaissance man, she said, adding that he was an engineer with the former Department of Highways, but he was also, heart and soul, a poet.

Peter Vincent Jr. told us his parents came to Canada from Hungary, and that poetry was his fathers lifelong hobby. His mother, a professional translator, translated his poems into English and eventually published them in a book.

She submitted one of her husbands poems to the guy in charge, and he agreed with me that it would be suitable, for the wall at Spadina and St. Clair, she said.

These things take time, but I am glad to report that this poem is now embellishing our fair city, for all to see and enjoy. And also commemorating, or dare I say immortalizing, the name of Peter Vincent.

VALDOSTA, GA (WALB) -

A gaping hole in the brick retaining wall in the 2400 block of Gornto Road remained Monday night, evidence of a crash that occurred just after 7 p.m. Friday when 58 year-old Danny Dunkin lost control of his 2001 Ford truck while traveling South on Gornto Road.

It was the third incident of a car crashing into a building in Valdosta in the past two weeks.

"The driver lost control, hit the bricks, and actually traveled a little further and struck a portion of the home there. Fortunately, no one was hurt during the incident," said Valdosta Police Chief Brian Childress.

But unlike the incident Sunday night, December 14th, in which 28 year-old Lee Caquelard is accused of driving drunk and smashing into two homes on Fawnwood Circle, Chief Childress said Dunkin simply got choked up.

"[The] driver indicated to us that as he was drivin' down the road, he was drinkin' somethin' and got choked. During the course of choking, [he] lost control of his vehicle," Chief Childress said.

But, police don't believe that alcohol is what Dunkin was drinking. "We did check," said Chief Childress. "There was no indication the driver was drunk. I wanna rule that out right now."

The third incident happened on December 9th at the McDonald's on South Patterson Street. 45 year-old Michael Pannell suffered a medical issue, causing him to slam into the McDonald's.

Both Caquelard and Pannell were facing charges for their respective crashes as of Monday. Dunkin, however, was not.

But, Childress reminded drivers that Georgia law allows drivers to be charged in a crash even if they were simply eating a sandwich or drinking a cup of coffee while driving.
