Butler County, KY rabbit tests positive for tularemia

Tularemia, also known as rabbit fever, mostly affects rabbits and rodents, including squirrels and groundhogs. It is transmissible to people. People can be exposed in a variety of ways, the most likely this time of year being a tick bite or handling an infected animal carcass. The disease can become airborne near a carcass. Cats and dogs also can be infected and become hosts for infected ticks as well.

Catching up with the Thierys - 30 years after recruitment here

Favorite Family Photo: Doug & Diane Thiery
The Thierys, whose Adair County roots were planted deep three decades ago, have been a major contributing factor in Adair County's growing health care importance. Thanks to Dorina Thiery Green, folks who know the Thierys and affiliated families will learn connections they had not know about a warm, wonderful friend.

from information from Linda Waggener and most importantly, from Diane Thiery's daughter, Dorina Thiery Green

They have played a huge role in the lives of Adair County, they are as much Adair Countian as families who have lived here over two centuries, and are still here. Most importantly, they are Adair Countians by Choice, not chance.

Today, many of the extended family, drawn to Adair County by Diane and her late husband, Douglas Arnold Thiery, who died October 23, 2017, have moved here, been born here, are employed here, and who now coalesce around their matriarch, Diane Thiery, with Columbia the headquarters for the clan.

JIM: The Hoodoo, played to packed house 28 Apr 1933

The local arts scene has always been important to Columbia and Adair County - though maybe it wasn't the hugely important business factor it is today. 100 years ago today, April 28, 2018, in the depths of the depression, a performance at Columbia High School, with a cast of some nearly dozen, packed the auditorium and received rave reviews from the totally objective Adair County News. The names in the cast will surely bring to mind a member of maybe a majority of residents here today.

Compiled by JIM

On Friday night, April 28, 1933 -- a mere 85 years ago this day -- the seniors of Columbia High School, coached by Miss Mary Lucy Lowe, offered the public a brief respite from thoughts of the enduring Great Depression by presenting playwright Walter Ben Hare's comedy-farce The Hoodoo.

The briefest possible synopsis: a young couple on the verge of marriage receive as a gift an Egyptian scarab along with strict instructions for it. When they fail to follow the instructions, beaucoup bad luck comes calling, creating havoc and hilarity as efforts to break the spell ensue.

While the local presentation didn't boast the proverbial cast of thousands, it certainly featured any number of future luminaries of Columbia and Adair County, to-wit:
