Metcalfe/Monroe Co. road to Tennesee moves into design phase New work on KY 163/Tompkinsville RD, along with the coming new interchange of US 68/Greensburg RD at the Louie B. Nunn, will dramatically improve highway travel between Adair County and Metcalfe and Monroe Counties -CM By Kiersten Jaggers, KY Department of Highways BOWLING GREEN, KY - Serving as the primary north-south connector for south Metcalfe County, KY 163 begins at the Tennessee state line and travels northward through Monroe County to intersect with US 68 in Edmonton, linking Monroe and Metcalfe counties to the broader highway network of the Commonwealth. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet conducted a planning study in 2007 that included an analysis of conditions along KY 163, US 68, and KY 80. Funds have since been provided for design of two projects developed from that study - a new interchange of US 68 with the Cumberland Parkway east of Edmonton, and a western bypass around Edmonton - as well as five spot improvements and two bridge replacements along KY 163 between Edmonton and KY 90. There is not yet funding for right of way acquisition, utility relocation or construction. 2009-11-20 07:17:32 | Comments | Printable version

In 1908, Columbia faced a crossroads, and chose wisely "If you have plenty of money and no children, count it a God given privilege to help bear the burdens of others." -Elder Z.T. Williams By "Jim" In the fall of 1908, voters in the Columbia school district faced a distinct choice in a late November special election: they could vote in favor of a graded school (and by extension, a state-mandated high school open to all Adair Countians) and the resulting increase in school tax, or they could vote to reject the measure out-of-hand. The debate raged in Columbia from early summer until the election, with passion and persuasion flowing from both sides of the issue. In the forepart of July 1908, then-retired Judge Herschel Clay Baker penned a letter to the News in which he supported the measure, a letter which he concluded by stating: "The alternative is before us. Which shall it be? I am a tax payer and have no children to educate, but it seems to me our duty is plain."In another letter which appeared in the News 101 years ago yesterday, (November 18th), Eld. Z.T. Williams, a former businessman and educator who by then was the much-beloved minister of the Columbia Christian Church, eloquently echoed Judge Baker's sentiment in this gentle admonition: "Let every citizen consider well what the present opportunity means to the future upbuilding of the town. If we would keep apace with our neighboring towns, and with the demand for a higher and more universal education of the future generations, we must avail ourselves of these modern and better advantages. Don't vote against the measure because of the little money it may cost you. We can not have advancement on any line without money. If you have plenty of money and no children, count it a God given privilege to help bear the burdens of others. 'Bear ye one another's burdens and so fulfill the law of Christ.'' (The quotation Eld. Williams used comes from Galatians 6:2.)The last edition of the News before the election stated that "in our judgment the race will be very close" -- and close it was. The vote tally wasn't reported; rather, the News simply stated that despite inclement weather, "a good vote was polled for and against the Graded School proposition...[and] the district is now committed to the proposition by twenty-seven majority" – 27 voters who laid the foundation of the modern public education system in Adair County. 2009-11-19 10:41:53 | Comments | Printable version

Commends Columbia Womans Club endorsement About: Columbia Woman's Club supports new building for CWC To ColumbiaMagazine.com: My hat is off this morning to the Columbia Woman's Club and the Citizens of Adair County who support the advancement of education in Adair County. Now there's only one thing remaining and that is to vote on December 15, 2009. s/Terry Partin It isn't unexpected from an organization which has always provided such leadership for Adair County. At times like these, it is encouraging to see respected Adair Countians speak out. In the past, such courage has often served us well, just as your own courage in writing this letter will embolden others who may have been too timid to stand up and speak out. -EW 2009-11-19 08:37:10 | Comments | Printable version
Frankfort/Fairplay reader sees hope after disappointment in CM About: BRBB Four bears spotted this past week in Adair Co KY To ColumbiaMagazine.com Great bear sightings story. I have been somewhat disappointed by the lack of Bear Board reporting. Perhaps Mr. Fudge will re-energize the organization. You just can't hardly get coverage of bears and chicken hawks anywhere but on CM. Keep up the good work. s/Dave Rosenbaum Thanks Bro. Dave. The criticism of CM is well taken. We do promise to do better. Mr. Fudge is showing the kind of leadership that Dean Gary Coomer and I find refreshing. Dean Johnny Vaughn of the Adair Assimilation Academy (AAAcad) has commented that not only is Young Fudge a very knowlegeable boy, he is strictly honest, a strict requirement for BRBB membership, too, albeit a little naive when it comes to playing around with 35 pound bobcats. 2009-11-19 08:24:16 | Comments | Printable version
