Law enforcement at FM2: Constable Shannon Rowe 2014-04-26 - Adair Annex, 424 Public Square, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Everybody likes to be at the Farmers Market on the Square, including enough members of law enforcement to give fairgoers a sense of security. Second District Constable Shannon Rowe was on hand this morning, doing some campaigning for re-election. He's a candidate for re-election in the Second Magisterial District. After filing, the official district line was changed - not as intended by the Adair Fiscal Court - and Rowe learned that the map put him in District 3 - by 20 feet. He said that Adair County Court Clerk Joyce Rodgers has assured him that he can still be on the ballot and will be certified he winner if he is the top vote-getter on May 20, 2014. He said that it his understanding that, if he wins, he'll be able to serve, but might have to face a challenge. He's engaged one of the top lawyers in South Central Kentucky to represent him if there is a challenge. In the meantime, he said, he's campaigning every day.

Columbia's Best Kept Secret in Dogwood, Redbud time 2014-04-26 - Appen Avenue, Jones-Wright Addition, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Appen Avenue in the Jones-Wright Addition, is beautiful today, with dogwoods and redbud in full bloom. Longtime resident Edwin Taylor calls it "Columbia's Best Kept Secret." Jim Harper, headed home, above, said it was also Columbia's oldest subdivision, and maybe in some sense, it would be; but it seems there were several before, often referenced in the writings of JIM: Boomer Heights, the Hudson Addition, the Harvey Addition, the Tutt Addition, and more.
