From former Adair County Judge Executive Gale Burris Cowan Parents, you should be extremely proud of your kids and the administration at Adair County Schools. I subbed today at the Adair County High School. I have only been subbing for two weeks and It was my first experience with a hard lockdown. I had to watch some video trainings, but I hadn't had drills. But let me tell you, the kids knew exactly what to do and the staff and law enforcement did what they were supposed to do to keep your kids safe. I have seen posts of parents complaining that they didn't get a call, they should have had a secretary put out a one call to parents etc. Article continues... click here to read the whole article, or to share, print, or bookmark it. 2024-09-16 20:17:38 | Comments | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

Kentucky Farm Safety and Health Week From Madison Pergrem Frankfort, KY - Commissioner of Agriculture Jonathan Shell has proclaimed September 15-21, 2024, as Farm Safety and Health Week in Kentucky to encourage farmers and farm workers to put their health and safety first at all times. Kentucky's farm safety week coincides with the National Farm Safety and Health Week. With a theme of "Don't Learn Safety by Accident," this week emphasizes the need to keep safety top of mind while on the farm. To raise awareness about the mental health resources available for farmers, the Kentucky House of Representatives recently passed House Resolution 59, which declares the Wednesday of Kentucky's Farm Safety and Health Week "Farmer Suicide Prevention Day" in Kentucky. To celebrate Kentucky's farmers, KDA is hosting the second annual Farmers Appreciation and Awards Day starting at 9:30amCT on Wednesday, September 18, 2024, at Western Kentucky University's L.D. Brown Ag Expo Center, 406 Elrod Rd, Bowling Green, KY. The day will honor farmers and their jobs, while also recognizing the risk they face in their day-to-day duties. The awards day, which was held in Frankfort last year, is designed to be moved throughout the state as the years proceed. There will be free burgers, hotdogs, and ice cream, along with free health screenings and booths dedicated to education safety, health and rescue.

Butler House on Greensburg Street restoration Trilby Vance felt fine about calling out to Jacob Hatcher as he works on the historic brick home on Greensburg Street in Columbia known as the Butler House. It is located across from the Courthouse Annex. She knows Jacob who preaches at Old Concord Methodist Church with her son John Tupman so she had no qualms about interrupting him from his construction work. Turns out that Jacob is a partner with Tia White and the goal is to restore the beautiful old home starting with a new roof while the weather is good. The porch came off and will be rebuilt.
