Is Columbia, KY being revisited by plague of urban deer? Accompany Shamarie Claiborne picture of bounding boy deer on Greensburg Street is beautiful. But for old timers here three years ago, it brings back horrible memories of the assault on Columbia by the infamous Old Badrack By Ed Waggener Shamarie Claiborne sent a photograph, which, on the first looking, appears to be one for Scenic Adair County. However, for too many of us, the image conjures up images of the Plague of Urban Deer which occasionally menaces the town, creates excitement in barber shops, forces local gendarmes to intensify patrols, and sends the chill of primal phobias down the spines of otherwise well-balanced citizens here. With the photo, Shamarie wrote: Usually, I catch a animal or two in The Holler and get a picture for everyone, Today, this guy was running across the road in Town. I have not seen a deer in town foreve. This guy ran across in the curve by the gingerbread house on Greensburg Street. Someone needs to let him know that school mornings is not the best time to cross.It's probably the asymetric rack on the deer which conjures up memories of the attack on the courthouse by Old Badrack just 35 months ago, when, early of a Friday, December 9, 2005, when the crazed buck attacked the Adair County capitol building, damaging the HVAC system, the fencing, and knocked out a window light in the restroom, before running down by Lynn's service station, frightening all along the way, then returning to the Square, and finally making a mad dash down the Well Walk, jumping over the wall onto Adams Alley, and then escaping into the Trabue Woods by the Christian Church Park. Old Badrack was never apprehended, though he was spotted later by both reliable accounts from the Bank of Columbia branch bank on Reed Street as well as pretty good second handed reports from others as being in the Christian Church Park. A question arises on this latest sighting of a deer: Could this be Old Badrack progeny? Could this buck, too, be bent on mischief? Does he also want to destroy our way of life? Or is he just another romantic but nice boy deer, searching for love in the wrong places? The next few weeks should tell. In the meantime, it will pay to keep a wary eye out while walking, driving, biking or sightseeing in Columbia. The complete account of the frightening experience when Old Badrack attacked can be found at Old Badrack. This story was posted on 2008-11-18 09:10:57
