Adair neighbor may get countywide planning commission


MERGER NOTES
The idea of merged city-county services is gaining momentum, but in Adair County, it is mostly limited to the utilities field, tourism, the airport and economic development
By Ed Waggener

According to a recent story in the Glasgow Daily Times online, City of Edmonton and Metcalfe County officials are currently negotiating to form a joint city-county planning commission.

The idea of city-county planning has had scant mention in Columbia and Adair County. Metcalfe County, which borders Adair on the west, already has a single utilities service which serves the entire county. Natural gas service, limited to the city of Columbia, in Adair County, is available almost everywhere in Metcalfe County.

Dry fall season brings increased deer hazard on roadways

Adair County in mid-range of incidence of deer/auto collisions in Kentucky, but second to Taylor within 7-county Greater Adair area in incidence over five-year period

From Kentucky State Police
Special ColumbiaMagazine.com story

Motorists on Kentucky roadways face special hazards from October through December as mating season brings a dramatic increase in the movement of deer throughout the state. Lack of rainfall is adding to the danger this year as deer are forced to seek new sources of water.

These two factors are increasing the potential for car-deer collisions say Kentucky State Police officials and they're advising motorists to take extra precautions during this time period.
