Plan for a safe ride home from Superbowl parties By Erin G. Eggen Frankfort, KY - Football fans across the country are gearing up for America's most-watched sporting event, Super Bowl LVI, on Sunday, February 13, 2022. While celebrations may look different this year, the dangers of drunken driving remain the same. "We want everyone to have a good time watching and celebrating the Super Bowl, but we can't afford to let our guard down," said Gov. Andy Beshear. "Keep yourself and others safe by getting vaccinated for COVID-19, masking up if you're indoors with people outside of your household and planning a sober ride home if you plan to drink. Together, we can avoid preventable tragedies on Kentucky roads." The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet's (KYTC) Office of Highway Safety is teaming with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration for a "Fans Don't Let Fans Drive Drunk" reminder urging football fans to drive unimpaired and avoid a major fumble. "Drunken driving crashes are 100 percent preventable," said KYTC Secretary Jim Gray. "Drivers must understand that drugs and/or alcohol not only hinder your ability to drive but also affect your judgment about whether you can or should drive. You may think you're fine, but impairment slows judgment, coordination and reaction times."

ACJE: State of the County Address - 2022 Adair County Judge Executive Gale Cowan gave her State of the County address at the Columbia-Adair Co. Chamber of Commerce meeting held on Tuesday, February 8, 2022, in the Fellowship Hall at Columbia Baptist Church. She addressed the impact COVID had on County government over the last two years, before covering upcoming budget plans, recycling, and accomplishments such as new vehicles for the Sheriff's Office and updates at the Jim Blair Center. Judge Cowan also taled about the more than $1.3M in grants the County has received over the last 3 years. By Gale Cowan, Adair County Judge Executive Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to speak to you today. The state of the County address......I could just say, so far, we have survived COVID. That is the number one thing we have dealt with since I gave this address two years ago. As of last night, Adair County has had over 5,000 cases of COVID-19 since the pandemic began in 2020. We have lost 95 Adair County Citizens. That is 95 loved ones that have been taken away from us too early. We have had multiple family members, employees, staff, and elected officials that have fought this virus, and some have had to fight hard to survive, just like some of you have. We have had employees in the hospital and out of work for weeks. I came in early many mornings and mopped floors, cleaned toilets, and disinfected doorknobs and handrails. I'm not going to ask my employees to do something I wouldn't do myself. And it wasn't just me. All the elected officials and staff stepped up and did whatever was needed. Whether it was in their job description or not. We did, what Adair County has done so many times before, we pulled together, worked together and got the jobs done. COVID caused us to have to shut down some of our buildings to the public. Notice I said, our BUILDINGS... not our offices.
