Letter: Missing Signage Joyce Coomer writes: Interesting how many comments missing or damaged road signs can create, but the only mentions of illicit drugs and behavior in the county are in police reports. Seems to me those two items are more important to be worrying about . . .

Letter: Signage Problem James Roberts writes: Apparently it's not of great concern for the Mayor and City Council to take care of or see that it's done in a way that will take care of the problem. More important issues such as a street light out or painting something I guess! That's what they were elected to do. And also while you're at it pass a local ordinance to keep the large trucks off the square that's causing the problem to begin with. Do your job!Comments re: Reviewing the yield sign challenge downtown 2024-08-19 13:33:01 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

Adair defeats Barren County 20-12 By Trey Stephens Columbia Magazine Staff Writer On Friday night, Adair County defeated Barren County 20-12 in their final preseason scrimmage of the year. This was a good outcome for the Indians as they look forward to matching up with Russell County next Friday. The Lakers were also in action this past Friday as they picked up a scrimmage win over Garrard County. The same team that the Indians defeated last week. The victory over the Trojans of Barren County gives the Indians even more momentum heading into the season, momentum that will hopefully help the Indians build a successful season. 2024-08-19 08:34:40 | Comments | Printable version Birthdays and Anniversaries for August 19 Happy Anniversary, Jennie and Chad Snider | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, 42nd U.S. President William Jefferson Clinton (1946) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Annette Keltner | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Cecil Beard (1939) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Charlie Barker | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, David Curtsinger | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Kristy Keene | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Krystal Barker | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Margaret Feese | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Nick Tupman | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Paul Davidson (1930) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Shea Martin | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Tommy Bryant (1961) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Tony Jessee | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Etta Mae Hazard, Campbellsville, KY (1926-2018) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Charles Estes Crew, Russell Springs, KY (1955-2019) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Charles Robert Lee Johnson, Columbia, KY (1960-2019) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Terry Russell Brown, Adair Co., KY native (1950) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Alie Baker "A.B."
