Daily News for Monday, June 30, 2025
To Dad on the anniversary of his passing (1921-2001) By Phillip Coffey Pile up all the weapons up into a huge heap Make them into plow shares with golden dividends Give them to those that really surrendered all to Make America Great. To those that defy our Constitution chain ‘em in a ragged, well guarded tent. All voices of the fallen cry out for our American “Vets” That gave the utmost, feared not even death. When they meet across the River Jordan No more to march across the Great Divide. No more crosses to bear or challenging nightmares. Singing Hallelujah to the one who died for all on Golgotha on a Rugged Cross. 2025-06-30 16:28:13 | Comments | Printable version

KSP takes to the skies in national cruiser contest From Sherry Bray Frankfort, KY - On June 30, 2025, Gov. Andy Beshear and the Kentucky State Police (KSP) encourage Kentuckians to help them win a competition that showcases state law enforcement agencies across the country as a thank you to the agency's service. KSP has entered the 2025 Best Looking Cruiser Contest, held annually by the American Association of State Troopers (AAST). The contest asks the public to vote on their favorite cruiser photo, with the winning image earning the cover of the association's 2026 calendar. KSP has placed in the top five in the past seven years, taking home back-to-back wins in 2021 and 2022. While Florida won the competition last year, Kentucky hopes to soar to first place once again. To accomplish this, Kentucky needs the help of the 4.5 million Kentuckians who call the commonwealth home. Voting starts today and ends at 4pmCT on Friday, July 11, 2025. Kentuckians can vote once daily by clicking here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/BestLookingCruiser2025.

Ed Waggener's Adair County Fair column in book Ed Waggener wrote his Around Adair column on July 4, 1980, and it was chosen to be part of the new book, The History of the Adair County Fair "Our county fair is the best county fair," to paraphrase the title song from the movie "State Fair," "the best county fair in our county." Time was, we didn't make that claim. Time was, we admitted that Russell County had the best county fair in the state, or even Shelby County. But today, everybody in Adair County will own that the best county fair is right here in Columbia.
