Some of the prettiest Daffodils in the area wave in the heavy traffic at the corner of Burkesville and West Guardian Streets in Columbia. If memory serves, these are the result of volunteer grant writing, winning, followed by art work and planting downtown by Vonnie Kolbenschlag. It's a reminder that the Adair Garden Club work will also be brightening up Columbia.

Road funds spark debate at Fiscal Court meeting

2019-04-10 - Columbia, KY - Photo by Tiffany Kessler
The Adair County Fiscal Court April meeting saw a heated debate between all of the magistrates on how road funds should be divided and used throughout the county.

The discussion went through a few different ideas on how to divide funds: miles per district, population per district, and simply dividing the funds seven ways to use at each magistrate's discretion. Ultimately the vote was for dividing the funds equally as of the new fiscal year which begins July 1.

Pictured L to R is County Attorney Jennifer Hutchison-Corbin, Magistrate Billy Coffey (District 5), Magistrate Greg Caldwell (District 6), and Magistrate Terry Hadley (District 7).
