Important: To receive warning messages you must either update your enrollment online or call the Adair County 911 Center at 270-384-4760 during business hours. by Mike Keltner Columbia, KY - The Adair County Fiscal Court and the Adair County Emergency Management Agency have recently updated the account with Emergency Communications Network, providers of the CodeRED high-speed notification solution, to provide the CodeRED Weather Warning service for the community.

Calls are delivered so quickly they often arrive prior to any other public notifications, usually before television or weather radio broadcasts are aired, which will provide Adair County Residents extra time to prepare.

KY-FI: No Project Fi day 1 This is the second of a multipart series about the use of Google's new Network of Networks in the wilds of Kentucky. Project Fi looks to be a homerun in big cities, where Sprint and TMobile have solid coverage. Tom reads the fine print and finds a reason to delay his activation, but things go well after a quick adjustment. Read the previous installment: KY-FI: Using Project Fi in the Bluegrass By Tom Waggener I jumped on the invite list as soon as I found out about Project Fi, and immediately started looking for a used Shamu... er, Nexus 6. I wasn't super excited about the biggest phablet on the market (more on that later) but I loved the idea of a multi carrier, super inexpensive phone that defaulted to wifi whenever possible.

Joyce Coomer: Are people trying to get rid of neighbors' dogs? Comments on: Her child cries over missing Australian Shepherd dog By Joyce M. Coomer Personal commentary I'm with Jo Ann Curry. For the past few years, I've been wondering if people are taking dogs for fighting or selling them to labs, esp. as some of the dogs that are listed as missing are small dogs that some labs like to use. Or just selling the dogs for easy money . . . I also wonder about the dogs that are obviously someone's pet, as they are healthy and fat and wearing collars, being picked up and taken to the animal shelter - are people trying to get rid of their neighbors' dogs??? I've heard several people through the years, pet owners themselves, complain about another animal being on their property because it wasn't "their" animal. - Joyce M.

Dave Rosenbaum: Northern Adair Countians are more intellectual A confession of a Southern Adair Countian Dave Rosenbaum writes: Most of my most useful education was taken around the coal stove in the rear of Dad's store at Fairplay. I heard of oil wells hit, gold mines found, huge fish caught, crops raised, timber cut, souls saved and ginseng dug. Nevertheless, not once did anyone ever appeal to Plutarch in order to press a argument. Hats off to Mr. Halsey. Come to think of it, those northern Adair County folks always seemed a bit more intellectual than us southerners. - Dave RosenbaumComments re article 77127 Jon Halsey comments on CAUD board membership 2015-08-18 10:01:24 | Comments | Printable version
