Emergency - Adair E911 has now added Text-to-911 Adair County residents now have another way to reach emergency services when making a telephone call is difficult, dangerous or impossible. Adair County E911 has added Text-to-911 service, allowing a person experiencing an emergency to send a text message directly to local dispatchers by entering 911 as the recipient. The new service is not intended to replace a traditional 911 telephone call. Calling remains the preferred and generally fastest way to communicate with emergency dispatchers. But Adair County E911 Director Derrick Murphy said the texting option provides an important additional tool, particularly in situations when a person cannot safely speak.

ACSO: Juveniles transported for injuries after collision From Deputy Emily Wall Adair County Sheriff's Office The Adair County Sheriff's Office responded to a single-vehicle collision on Little Cake Road involving three juveniles at around 11pmCT on Wednesday, November 4, 2026. Preliminary investigation indicates the vehicle was traveling westbound on Little Cake Road when it traveled off the roadway onto the right shoulder and struck a tree. During the collision, two of the juveniles were ejected from the vehicle. A 4-year-old female was transported to Norton Children's Hospital for treatment. A 2-year-old male was transported to TJ Samson Community Hospital's Just for Kids unit, while a 9-month-old juvenile was released into the care of family members. The investigation and response involved the Adair County Sheriff's Office, Adair County EMS, Adair County Fire Department, and Russell County EMS. The Sheriff's Office reminds motorists of the importance of properly securing children in age- and size-appropriate child safety seats and ensuring all occupants are properly restrained while traveling. 2026-11-06 09:38:51 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Police and Fire Reports
Frost advisory issued for Friday night The National Weather Service in Louisville has issued a frost advisory, beginning at 11pmCT on Friday, November 6, 2026, through 8amCT on Saturday, November 7, 2026, for an area in south central Kentucky that includes Adair, Casey, Green, Metcalfe, Russell and Taylor Counties. Temperatures as low as 33 will result in frost formation, and localized freezing conditions will be possible (30-50% chance) in rural, low-lying areas. Frost could harm sensitive outdoor vegetation. Sensitive outdoor plants may be killed if left uncovered. In addition, prussic acid formation in certain plants could harm livestock if they are permitted to graze. Take steps now to protect tender plants from the cold. If you have livestock, remove ruminants from pastures containing high-risk plants. 2026-11-06 09:35:26 | Comments | Printable version

Tommy Druen: Applause makes a terrible compass Previous Column: In search of quiet confidence By Tommy Druen We often complain about the aches and pains of getting older, but there are a few quiet perks. One unexpected advantage I've discovered is that it's considerably easier to see my favorite bands in concert. For one thing, getting tickets is no longer a frantic scramble or constant busy signal. More importantly, I can actually afford to be where I can see the band without squinting. And there is nothing wrong with a reserved seat, as a sweaty mosh pit would probably leave me in traction. Recently I joined with fellow members of my generation at a Better Than Ezra show. The band sounded every bit as sharp as they did when I first heard them back in 1995. They also understood their crowd, mixing in a few shrewdly chosen covers with their own hits. When they struck the opening chords of Sublime's "What I Got," something remarkable happened. Within seconds, the entire crowd erupted in unison, singing every lyric back toward the stage with an absolutely joyful fervor. Even while singing along, my mind recalled the tragic history behind that song.
