Governor urges vigilance as KY passes 200K COVID-19 cases By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Frankfort, KY - On Sunday, Gov. Andy Beshear asked all Kentuckians to redouble efforts to fight COVID-19 as Kentucky surpassed 200,000 reported cases of coronavirus in the commonwealth - exactly nine months since the state's first reported case. "These are difficult numbers, having passed 200,000 cases and earlier this week passing 2,000 deaths. And now this is our highest week to date. However, in the data there is some potentially good news: While this is our highest week ever, the rate of growth does appear to be slowing. In other words, our increase from the last couple of weeks is less than what we have been seeing. Certainly, our hope is that we are slowing down this train and are moving at least to a new plateau," the Governor said. "We'll have to watch in the coming week if we do have that Thanksgiving surge or if the majority of our families kept it small this year. So even on a tough day, possibly some good news. That should make all of us want to work that much harder knowing that we can impact this thing, that it is within our control and that a vaccine - two vaccines - are just around the corner."

LCDHD: All 10 counties very much in the red LCDHD COVID-19 Public Information Brief 12/5/2020 By Amy Tomlinson Lake Cumberland District Health Department This has been the worst week of the outbreak so far for both Lake Cumberland and the state. We experienced 21 deaths in Lake Cumberland this week. We have near-record numbers of hospitalizations while hospitals locally and state-wide report a significant surge in COVID-19 hospitalizations. Hospitals, health departments, EMS agencies, and long-term care facilities area-wide and state-wide are experiencing staff shortages due to the surge in cases and the loss of staff who have either become infected with COVID-19, or are quarantined as a close-contact. Our active cases are 155 more today than last Saturday (1,177 vs 1,022). And, we added 1,331 new cases this week compared to 945 last week. And, to top it all off, at our present growth-rate, our total cases will double in 32 days. Imagine going through everything we have gone through over the last 262 days in only 32 days!

December 28, 1977 Around Adair with Ed Waggener The article below first appeared in the December 28, 1977, issue of the Adair County news. Topics included Fairview Church Road, an update on the Inaugural Chili plan, the bypass at Glasgow, and Hughes Walker's plan for an Adair-County-built toll road to Louisville. --Pen By Ed Waggener A New Year's Resolution: Get Adair Countians out of the mud When you take a look at a map of Adair County which has little square black dots for houses, you can readily see that the most concentrated population outside Columbia is up Highway 206 and along its connector roads. It is surprising to find that even the concentration of people has not meant that all the people live on hardsurfaced roads. Perhaps the greatest inequity is on the Fairview Church Road at Ella. There, at least 17 families live on a 1.2 mile stretch between Ella and the drybridge on Sulphur Creek, according to Greg Redford, one of the residents. The stretch is in Adair County Magisterial District Number 1. It would have been a good road to have blacktopped, so far as Democratic politics are concerned. But it wasn't done. "They aren't even talking about it," Redford says. The families which live on the road are the Jack Holts, Hollis Morrisons, the Paul Goodins, Charles Neat, Bertha Hardwick, Bonnie Grant, the Johnny Hitches, the Robert, Biggerstaffs, the Dan McClisters, the Morris Pikes, the Edward Roberts, Mary Ellen Dillingham, the Joe Goodins, the Jim Whiteds, and Florence Pike. A good New Year's Resolution for those with the power of yea or nay on blacktopping would be that they make 1978 the year which gets all Adair Countians out of the mud. A good place to start is with the Fairview Church Road. It's a pretty road The road is one of Adair County's prettiest, despite the gravel and mud. The homes are neat and well kept. Old Fairview Church, which used to house a Brethren in Christ, or "Whitecap" church, is a stately old frame building, now owned by Hollis Morrison. The old Fairview School is now a residence. On the creek hill are two of the finest modern homes ever built. And Sulphur Creek runs as clear and as clean as the mountain streams in the Smoky Mountains.
