Adair County Elementary School (ACES) Principal Robbie Harmon modeled the new bench built by Anthony Janes, Fabco Manufacturing, Columbia, KY, and presented as a gift to Adair County High School. Superintendent A.W. Reed said that a similar bench, made specifically for Lindsey Wilson College, has been given to LWC, and that each has an approximately $500 value. The bench is an example of the work which Fabco can now do, right here in Columbia, with its recently installed plasma cutters. Already, Mr. Reed said, he's heard suggestions that the benches, with Downtown Columbia motif(s), be installed on the Public Square Sidewalks.

Exterior colors chosen for Adair County Primary Center 2012-11-16 - 1204 Greensburg Street, Columbia, KY - Photo by Ed Waggener. Gabriel Jones, Architect with Sherman, Carter Barnhart Architects, Lexington, KY, presented suggested choices for color patterns for the new Adair County Primary Center, 158 Col. Casey Drive, Columbia, KY. The scheme second from top, with a slate gray roof, was chosen by board consensus. Mr. Jones said that while a lighter color roof can be more energy efficient, the difference will be small with the super thick insulation in the roof. He also said that the color chosen is better for masking discoloration than would be a pure white or pure black roof. The presentation was made during the Thursday, November 16, 2012 regular session of the Adair County School Board. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
