Covid-positive person at Tuesday Fiscal Court meeting By Gale B. Cowan Adair County Judge Executive It has come to our attention this afternoon, Friday, August 13, 2021, that an attendee of Tuesday's Adair County Fiscal Court meeting has tested positive for the COVID-19 virus. We have been in contact with the Adair Co. Health Department and anyone we feel was within 6 ft of this person, we have tried to notify directly and should quarantine for 7 days with no symptoms. You would be allowed to return to normal activity on Tuesday with no symptoms and a negative test on Sunday or Monday of next week. If you have been fully vaccinated, you are not required to quarantine as long as you show no symptoms. It is highly recommended that anyone who attended the meeting watch for symptoms and use all precautions necessary to keep family and friends safe. 2021-08-13 18:47:45 | Comments | Printable version

Commentary: Build a Wall By an Adair County resident (name on file) That phrase was associated with building a border wall two elections ago, and many supported that plan. But have you considered how important it is to build a wall against the Covid Virus? The only way we will defeat the virus is to build a solid wall of vaccinated persons. The vaccination rate for Adair County has hovered between 29% of eligible persons, up slightly to just under 31% in the most recent Lake Cumberland Health District Report. That is an improvement, but is a long way from a solid wall. To defeat the Covid virus and its variations, we need a solid wall, an impenetrable wall, but with vaccination rates as low as they have been, the virus will only get through the wall and become stronger. And that is what has been happening with the new Delta variant. Case numbers are going up and hospital beds are filling up, with a growing number of children testing positive. I urge all residents of Adair County to get vaccinated. That is the only way we will defeat the virus. Gaps in the wall will only let the virus get stronger. For whatever reasons you have for not getting vaccinated, please reconsider, and do your part for your town, county, and country in the war against the Covid virus by helping to build a solid wall against the Covid and its variations. Building a wall of vaccinated persons is essential to defeating the virus. 2021-08-13 15:02:17 | Comments | Printable version

Letter: Armadillos in Kentucky? Susan Rarey writes: Tonight around 9 o'clock I was coming home from my brother's house and had just gotten on 704 headed towards Fairplay. I saw an animal in the road so I slowed down. I first thought it was a 'possum, but I was able to safely come to a full stop. I put my brights on and it was actually an armadillo. I even got out of my van for a closer look. It was indeed an armadillo. 2021-08-13 07:01:20 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
