December 13, 1977 around Adair with Ed Waggener The article below first appeared in the December 13, 1977 issue of the Adair County news. Topics included some tall tales from the funeral business, some competing--and now demonstrably inaccurate--prognostication about the population of Adair County in the year 2020, and Joe Taylor, Jr.'s love of Lindsey Wilson Basketball. --Pen By Ed Waggener Take it easy this time, please Marshall Rowe says that this really happened in Adair County. He says that a woman died and the funeral was held and the body was being transported to the cemetery. The hearse was one of the old horse-drawn ones. The road to the gravesite was rough and rocky. The driver hit a chug-hole in the road and he heard a scream. It was the corpse, come back to life. Apparently, the woman had just been in a coma. She returned to live a full life, for several more years. When she finally died, the process was repeated again. There was the funeral and the trip to the cemetery. As the driver of the hearse was approaching the place where the woman had come back to life, her husband ran up and stopped the drivers of the hearse. He warned the drivers this time, "Now men," he said, "y'all remember what happened the last time we got to this place. Take it easy or it might happen again." There may be a reason for "casket bearers" In several communities where we have newspapers, the funeral directors call pallbearers, "casket bearers," instead. Some of the reason may be in situations like the one Roy Owen, who operated Owen's Mens Wear, where Russell Holmes has his store today, found himself in years ago. A woman came by his store at 10:00 a.m. one morning, very insistent on getting a new suit for her son. After a quick but thorough search was made, Owen said, the lady decided on a dark suit which needed just a few alterations. "We'll have to have the suit by 12:30 today," the customer said.

Governor, family to quarantine after potential exposure By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Frankfort, KY - Gov. Andy Beshear issued a video statement on Sunday to tell Kentuckians that he and his family are committed to setting a good example by following state and federal quarantine guidelines after they were potentially exposed to a person with COVID-19 late Saturday afternoon. To watch the video message, see the end of this story. The Governor and his family were potentially exposed through a member of his security detail who drove with the first family on Saturday and learned of a positive test later Saturday. The first family was not in contact with anyone else following exposure. The Governor said his family and the trooper all wore facial coverings, but the federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Kentucky Department for Public Health (DPH) recommend quarantine if an individual is within six feet of a positive person for more than 15 minutes. Quarantine is used to keep someone who might have been exposed to COVID-19 away from others to limit possible spread. The Governor and his family have tested negative, are feeling well and have no symptoms.
