Spring brings baby wildlife to backyards and farms From Clare Rose Frankfort, KY - Spring is here, and with it comes an abundance of young wildlife across the commonwealth. Newborn wildlife can be found in a variety of habitats, including urban neighborhoods. The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources urges the public to leave young wildlife undisturbed, even when they appear to be alone, and reminds landowners to watch for vulnerable wildlife when working on their properties. Wildlife parents often leave their nest or young in a location they consider safe while they forage or hunt nearby, including places that are more developed. Young wildlife may appear to be left alone, but a parent is almost always nearby and will come back as needed to feed and take care of them. It's normal for them to be away for hours, so don't be alarmed if you come across a baby animal by itself. It is important to remember that human intervention can cause unnecessary harm to young wildlife. Touching a baby animal can transfer human scent and draw attention to their location, potentially making the young more noticeable to predators. "Every year, well-meaning people often step in to 'rescue' a baby wild animal that is alone and appears to be abandoned," said Dr. Christine Casey, wildlife veterinarian with Kentucky Fish and Wildlife. "In reality, they were fine before someone with good intentions stepped in, trying to help in the wrong way."

KY General Fund and Road Fund receipts for March 2026 Frankfort, KY - The Office of State Budget Director reported on Friday that March's General Fund receipts grew 6.2 percent compared to March of last year. The March revenue growth is compared to March of 2025 which was when the initial implementation of the Department of Revenue's new information technology system went into production. Due to the timing of the go-live date for the new system, a portion of March receipts were processed in the month of April; therefore, revenues were partially understated in March 2025 and slightly overstated in April 2025. Total revenues for the month were $1,128.8 million, compared to $1,062.6 million during March 2025. Receipts have now fallen 0.4 percent for the first nine months of FY26. For the just completed quarter, total General Fund collections grew 0.2 percent. Growth rates for the first three quarters of FY26 were -2.8, 1.4 and 0.2 percent.

Letter: we are in unprecedented times in America By Rodney White Tip O'Neill supposedly said, "All politics is local," but maybe there are certain circumstances in which that is not true. It seems to me that we are living in unprecedented times in America when too many are unaware, too busy with the challenges of life, or simply apathetic to the events of the day. This is not an indictment of the good folks of Adair County, but a reality all across the nation, and it is not only a recent occurrence in our civic life.
