Today in Columbia: Important meetings. Great time to see Adair Patchy fog. No court. School Board, Parks & Recreation Board, and P&Z Board of Adjustment meetings this evening. A short KnowYourCountyBetterTour suggested. If you can find Columbia through the early morning fog, parking should be easier to find and traffic should be lighter; there's no court today, according to the Kentucky Court of Justice information. But watch for school traffic tie-ups. There are several important meetings today, and it may be difficult to decide which one to attend. The Adair County Board of Education regular September meeting is at 7:00pm, at the same time as the Columbia Parks & Recreation meets in City Hall. Prior to those meetings, at 6:00pm, the Columbia Planning & Zoning Board of Adjustment was to have heard a request to allow a beauty salon at 117 Parkview Drive. NOTE: This P&Z meeting has been cancelled as the applicant, Jimmy Roy, has withdrawn his request for a zoning variance.). All the meetings are open to the public. For more details and to be reminded of these and other important coming dates and times, click on Events in Quick Links often. Events are updated continuously. Click read more for suggested short trip. KnowYourCountyBetterTour If you are free today, we suggest a short scenic drive right at about 8:00-8:30am, after the sun is just bright. Take KY 61 south to the Edmonton Road to get a first hand grasp of the state of the highway construction. Go west on KY 80, through beautiful farmland, by the Colonel Casey house, through Bliss, and right near the top of Bliss Hill, 3.2 miles from the KY 80/61 intersection, turn right on Milltown Church Road.Almost immediately, make a right onto the Union Cemetery RD loop and see where the Gilmer Cemetery, with the grave of perpetual motion researcher and victim Lingan Selby's remains have been relocated; notice the June 7, 2007 death dates on several of the monuments, a reminder of the Gradyville Flood. Turn right out of the cemetery back onto Milltown Church Road for more beautiful farmland scenes. Past the Grider chicken barns (west side of the road) watch for the fog clouds over Big Creek and Russell Creek. Beautiful horses with goat buddies are playing in the pastures. Further on, make a stop in the Milltown United Methodist Church and Cemetery parking lot. If the fog is lifting, you may be able to see old Milltown below. Just across the road from the Milltown UM Church is the Beard Cemetery, with interesting statuary. Ease down the hill, taking in the grand views to the west and across Milltown Road to Russell Creek. Turn right on Milltown Road to see the changes in this wonderful old Adair County community. Shortly, past more neat farmland, there's the intersection of Milltown Road and KY 61, take a right to return to Columbia, immediately there are beautiful farmland views to the right. Later, keep an eye out for the Tommy Rogers Memorial at the crest of the curving, Bradford pear lined road on the right, just beyond the trucking company he founded. Further along, watch out for northbound cars turning left into your path at the intersection of KY 61 and Lampton Lane. It's busy and dangerous there. Over the hill drive as slowly as is safe to see more wonderful farms, horses. and Adair County castles and Lake Downey, which, when created some 50+ years ago, was said to be stocked with "bass, crappie, and fish" in the Adair County News report. (No explanation as to what manner of animal bass and crappie were; or maybe they just left out the word "other" before fish.) Cross the Petty's Fork Bridge back into Columbia 2006 City Limit, get your morning exercise at the Christian Life Center, and enjoy the beautiful day. If you take the journey in the evening, the reverse course is suggested. Fall flowers are at their peak all along the way. Round trip distance, about 15-16 miles, I'd guess. -Ed Waggener.
