Jim narrows date of map to between 1819 and 1826 Jim writes: A couple of the counties shown (or not, as the case may be) dates the map to a relatively narrow span of years. Hart County (shown) was created in 1819, while the legislation enabling the creation of Russell County (not shown) passed in 1825 and went into effect the forepart of April 1826.Comments re photo 59823 Larry Smith Early map of Adair surrounding counties 2015-04-21 16:53:41 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Local History
Judge Stephens makes statement on appeal From the County Judge Executive's office We are receiving many calls in the Judge's office regarding the interest of an appeal process in the mayor's election....for the record, the county Judge's office stands totally neutral in this process. However, after conversations with the county clerk, our county attorney, and state agencies they advise neither our insurance carriers nor our bond holders or any party's bond holders will be held liable for legal or procedural actions taken on an appeal. So therefore, the county taxpayers could possibly, ultimately foot the bill for any appeal process, which is clearly a concern for me as the steward of the county's monies and business. - Holly Grimsley, Adair County Deputy Judge/Executive, Adair County Fiscal Court, 424 Public, Square Suite 1, Columbia, Ky. 42728, Office: 270-384-4703 2015-04-21 14:50:13 | Comments | Printable version

Jon Halsey: Comments on Mayoral situation Comments re article 74709 Does Columbia have a Mayor Its more interesting today By Jon Halsey Personal Commentary If Mr. Hardwick wishes to contest Judge Vance's ruling, that is certainly his right as a citizen. However, it also seems to be our right as citizens to not have to pay for his appeal especially since this would not be action stemming from operation or activities of the Office of Mayor. It would also seem to be in the best interests of propriety that he temporarily step aside if and while he is involved in such litigation. - Jon HalseyThanks - From what we hear, Mr. Hardwick is not asking the taxpayers to pay for his appeal. We haven't heard anything about his intentions on stepping aside. He's a formidable, very likable candidate - he's won three times before the November 2014 race - so opponents might want him to be tied down to the office rather than being out campaigning. Just saying. - EW 2015-04-21 10:02:08 | Comments | Printable version
Good news! Vicky Pike's younger cousin at My Old KY Home Kinsman is Park Manager! I would just like to share the good news that my younger cousin, Matthew Bailey was hired in the last few days as the park manager of My Old Kentucky Home. He is a native of Elkton KY, and is the grandson of my mother's brother, Floyd Bailey. We are so proud of his accomplishments and wanted to share this with the folks of Adair County. So when you go visit and see this fine young man, you can tell him you are from Adair County and have heard of him on Columbia Magazine. Thanks - Vicky Pike 2015-04-21 09:48:32 | Comments | Printable version
Judge Vance's ruling on Mayor's Race Press Release: In response to Civil Action No 14-CI-00211 From: Lisa Greer, Adair County Clerk I know the most asked question the last few days has been when is the Election? I wish I could as your County Clerk give you that answer today, but at this time I cannot answer that question, due to the fact that the time frame for the appeals process is ten days (10) from the decision of the Court. I am currently, talking to the State Board of Elections, County Board of Elections, and the County Attorney to make sure we have the right answers for you the voters once the Appeal time frame has lapsed. We have to follow State KRS's pertaining to any elections and we will do so, after the 10 days time frame for Appeals the Board of Elections, will meet with the County Attorney and decide when the election will be per KRS, which then will be presented to State Board of Elections. The Monthly meeting of the Board of Elections is Thursday, April 30th at 10:00 a.m. CST in the Office of the County Clerk. This meeting is past the 10 day time frame for Appeals. Once a decision has been made and approved by State we will issue a statement to you the voters. I can assure you the voter will know as soon as legally possible. Please do not hesitate to call me or stop by if you have any questions. Sincerely, Lisa Greer, Adair County Clerk 2015-04-21 09:02:46 | Comments | Printable version

Does Columbia have a Mayor? It's more interesting today What we know this morning: Word that the Judge Vance's ruling might be appealed, which changes so much about the whether Columbia has a Mayor or not, was received here at ColumbiaMagazine.com in a call to Councilman Ronnie Rogers, who commented yesterday after the original announcement of the special called meeting was rescinded, was that the meeting cancellation had to do with a probable appeal to Judge Vance's ruling voiding the November 4, 2015 Mayoral Election. Later, Larry Smith of FM 92.7 the WAVE and FM 99.9 the Big Dawg, confirmed that he had interviewed Curtis Hardwick. Smith said he fully expects an appeal to be on Hardwick's behalf. Next came an announcement of a special called meeting of the Adair County Board of Elections, with an Executive Session which one could only surmise will concern those co-defendants joining the appeal. For now, that's the latest, here. We hope to have more during the day. - EW 2015-04-21 07:04:45 | Comments | Printable version
Very Old Person remembers big shift in Greene Co. population Charles Marshburn writes: I realize you are probably the only person old enough to remember why the population of Greene County fell 36% and the population of Adair County rose 17 % in the census of 1850. Hope it wasn't due to an election! Anyone with any information? - Charles MarshburnMr. Marshburn, I don't know. This is a question which has weighed on the minds of so many, so long, but you've just asked a question way beyond our collective educational level, though occurrences in the year 1948 may have something to do with the Greene County exodus. For Adair County, since this was before the influx of Canadian Tour Busses, it must have had to do with Malthusian reasons. But if there is a historian in the house, maybe we'll both learn the answer. - EW.
