The first bear was discovered in late June on a power line right-of-way in McCreary County. Tire marks and a lack of blood at the scene indicated the bear was killed elsewhere and the carcass dumped at this location.

Letter: Regardless of size of gift, nothing will go unappreciated Help for UK Children's Hospital can come from more than one effort In response to Thirza Peevey's letter about helping the families at UK, I wanted to say I am so glad there are churches and organizations that want to make a difference. When you personally experience what it's like to be a parent of a sick child, it changes your perspective tremendously.

Letter - Choice for C&AC: Improve or be bedroom town About: Photo, "Taking off from second smallest airport" To the editor, CM: If you will check your archives, you will find a letter to the Columbia Magazine which suggests that the airport and runway needs to be able to accommodate corporate planes if Adair County and Columbia ever expects to grow its industrial base. Also, there is a need to upgrade the water, sewer, phone, data system, etc, so that industrial development can have something to buy into. If Columbia and Adair County provides the infrastructure, there would be tremendous, but managable growth potential in the future. If these upgrades are not made, we in Adair County will continue to be a "bedroom community" for Glasgow, Campbellsville and Somerset. It's time to get moving. s/Charles Miller 2007-07-18 10:23:06 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
