Carol Perkins: The First Grade

Previous Column: Up the Water Spout

By Carol Perkins

I turned six on September 6th, so I was ready for first grade. Preschool and kindergarten didn't exist then. There were two first-grade teachers, and my last name (Sullivan) fell to Ms. Billie Sue. Everyone, it seemed, went to first grade to either Ms. Roberta or Ms. Billie Sue. Both were equally respected. No one visited the classroom before opening day. No "meet the teacher."

The night before school, I was nervous. Would she be nice? Would she yell? I had heard stories about "mean" teachers, but none about her. The only thing I heard negatively about Ms. Billie Sue was that if you misbehaved, you stood in a corner. I only found that corner once, and it wasn't my fault!

Ms. Billie Sue was all business most of the time, but there were those moments when we saw the "fun" side of her. She led us in singing on the spur of the moment, or we would draw pictures for no apparent reason. There wasn't room to dance, or we would have cut loose.

I think there were at least thirty first graders sitting at wooden tables around the small room, crowded like bees in a hive and as far away from the wood stove as possible.

Waterfowl hunting blind drawing dates for Green/Barren

From Lisa Jackson

Frankfort, KY - The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources has scheduled dates for public drawings to select season-long waterfowl hunting blind sites at four wildlife management areas (WMAs) this fall.

Available sites include locations at Doug Travis, Lake Barkley, Green River Lake and Barren River Lake WMAs. Each area has numerous sites available, and multiple hunters can be selected for each location.

Seasonally drawn blind sites ensure that selected waterfowl hunters will have a place to hunt during the entire waterfowl season. The drawings for these blinds take place well before the season to allow hunters time to build blinds and make all necessary plans for the season.

Upcoming season-long blind drawings include:

Summer heat and your heart - what to know

Summer is the season for outdoor activity, travel, and long sunny days -- and for most people, that is entirely good news. For anyone with heart disease or high blood pressure, however, heat is a genuine health consideration that deserves attention.

Here is why: for every degree your body temperature rises, your heart must pump about 10 extra beats per minute to help cool you down. In extreme heat, that is a significant added workload -- one that healthy hearts handle easily but compromised ones may not.

Passing bus with stop lights flashing is illegal

The most dangerous spot is right beside the bus

According to the National Safety Council, most children killed in bus-related crashes are young, ages 4 to 7, and on foot -- struck by the bus itself, or by a driver illegally passing one that has stopped.

Passing a stopped school bus with its red lights flashing and stop arm extended is illegal in all 50 states.

KY health officials suspect measles outbreak in Christian Co.

From Kendra Steele/Beth Fisher

Frankfort, KY - On Thursday, August 13, 2026, Kentucky health officials announced that a case of measles with a high number of community exposures has been confirmed in Christian County. The individual was not vaccinated against measles and is believed to have been exposed through contact with an out-of-state visitor from a community with an ongoing measles outbreak. Additional unconfirmed reports of measles in Christian County have led health officials to suspect a wider outbreak in the area.

"Measles is a serious, debilitating and sometimes life-threatening disease," said Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services Secretary Dr. Steven Stack. "Fortunately, measles is almost entirely preventable for those who have been vaccinated with two doses of the measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) vaccine. We urge all parents and caregivers to talk to their healthcare providers about their child's immunizations and how best to keep their families healthy."

The U.S. is currently experiencing the largest measles outbreak since it was declared eliminated in here in 2000. As of August 6, 2026, the CDC had reported more than 2,465 confirmed cases of measles across the country, the highest number of cases in a single year in 35 years. Confirmed cases and outbreaks have recently been reported in Ohio, Indiana, Virginia, and Pennsylvania, among other states.

For more information about measles, including a link to the Kentucky Department for Public Health's measles dashboard which updates case counts daily, please visit the department's measles webpage at: www.chfs.ky.gov/agencies/dph/dehp/idb/Pages/measles.aspx.

CPD and ACSO warn public about phone scams

Both the Columbia Police Department and the Adair County Sheriff's Office issued statements on Thursday, August 13, 2026, about scam calls to local citizens. Citizens reported that scammers claimed to be with the Sheriff's Office and asserted that recipients of calls had missed court dates or had active federal arrest warrants.

Sheriff Roy says, "No one at the Sheriff's Office will call you and tell you that you have a federal warrant on you. If you receive any call like this or any other calls that you may think is a scam, hang up immediately and report it to authorities."

CPD representatives say, "If you receive a call similar to this, or any other type of phone call that you believe may be a scam, hang up immediately. Do not provide the caller with any personal, financial, or identifying information."

To report a scam call to the Adair County Sheriff's Office, call 270-384-2776 or 270-384-6466. To report a scam call to the Columbia Police Department, call 270-384-4119.

LWU ceremonies celebrate students who weathered the storms

By Duane Bonifer

Life is about learning to appreciate storms, even when you're in them.

That was one of the messages delivered to Lindsey Wilson University students in the School of Professional Counseling's two virtual pinning ceremonies, held Wednesday, August 12, 2026. The school celebrated 113 students who will graduate on Saturday, at the university's first summer commencement, which will be held at 2pmCT on August 15, 2026 in Biggers Sports Center, 360 Spickard Drive, Columbia, KY.

The students who participated in Wednesday evening's online pinning ceremonies were located in 17 states, as far away as Arizona. Many were joined on the screen by proud and excited family members and friends. Some LWU students attended the virtual ceremonies while children sat on their lap, and a few included a family pet dog or cat on the screen. Rather than applauding each students' name when it was read during the ceremony, students celebrated by clicking on a congratulatory icon that floated across the screen.

Gov. Beshear recognizes KSP Special Response Team

From Sherry Bray

Frankfort, KY - On August 13, 2026, Gov. Andy Beshear recognized the lifesaving work of the Kentucky State Police (KSP) for rescuing local law enforcement officers and a Kentuckian who were under fire from an armed suspect earlier this year. The rescue, which was captured on video, was made possible by the agency's armored 2021 Chevrolet Suburban High Country.

"Thank you to our Special Response Team for their bravery in supporting their neighbors and their local law enforcement colleagues," Gov. Beshear said. "This example of teamwork and selflessness represents the best of Kentucky."

On April 20, 2026, deputies with the Adair County Sheriff's Office (ACSO) responded to a disturbance at a residence on Chestnut Grove Road in Columbia. Upon arriving, one deputy and another individual came under gunfire from an armed man. They took cover but remained pinned down for several hours. Two additional deputies attempted to rescue them using ballistic shields; however, they also came under fire and were forced to take cover, leaving all four individuals trapped.

Additional law enforcement agencies, including KSP troopers and officers, responded to assist. Upon arrival, they also came under fire from the barricaded suspect.

The KSP Special Response Team (SRT) was requested to the scene and upon arrival deployed the agency's armored 2021 Chevrolet Suburban. Using the vehicle as a mobile shield, SRT troopers safely reached the trapped deputies and the civilian and brought them to safety.

A raccoon's excellent adventure

It started innocuously enough. A raccoon in Ashland, Virginia found a gap in the ceiling of a state liquor store, squeezed through, and helped himself to the inventory. By the time store employees arrived the next morning, he had smashed 14 bottles, sampled liberally from the wreckage, and passed out cold on the bathroom floor.

Wildlife officials removed him safely. He sobered up. He was released back into the wild, presumably with a headache. Then came the twist: investigators determined it wasn't his first offense.

Restrictions suspended for carriers involved in storm response

From Naitore Djigbenou/Allen Blair

Frankfort, KY - As part of Team Kentucky's emergency preparedness efforts, Transportation Cabinet Secretary Rebecca Goodman has signed an official order to temporarily suspend certain restrictions on motor carriers that will be engaged in providing utility restoration and delivering critical supplies and transportation services to areas affected by recent severe storms and damaging winds.

"Swift response is key during emergency response," Secretary Goodman said. "This order will save valuable time and ensure Kentuckians and surrounding states can get the help they need as quickly as possible."

The order is effective for 14 days or until the state of emergency no longer exists. It temporarily relieves maximum driving times and weigh station stops for commercial drivers transporting approved relief supplies, crops, agricultural products, or those involved in debris removal, and the restoration of utilities and transportation services.

Carriers must comply with safety requirements and have a copy of the order in the truck cab if operating under the authority of the official order.
