John Bam Carney Memorial Highway in Campbellsville

By Larry Smith

Local and state officials gathered on Friday, June 2, 2023, for the dedication of the Rep. John "Bam" Carney Memorial Highway, which connects New Columbia Highway 55 to New Lebanon Road US 68. The project was started in the 1980s by former mayor Robert L. Miller, and, years later, "Bam" Carney helped make this bypass a priority (and now a reality).

The new highway was dedicated Friday morning by Governor Andy Beshear, State Representative Sarge Pollock and Senator Max Wise. Bam's mother June Carney and his son Ethan unveiled the official sign.

Bear sightings being reported around Adair

Vicky Pike sent word she believes Ed Waggener would have been all over the story of a black bear being reported by Columbia PD Assistant Chief Charles Greer and Sergeant Evan Burton. That one had been seen around Lindsey Wilson College.

She's right and Columbia Magazine will remain on alert, digging through archives to call on members of the original Blue Ribbon Bear Board, and we promise to report any more sightings that come in immediately.
