The Life and Legacy of Shannon Rowe Estate gifts include one to the Adair County Fair and an equal one to the Crusade for Children. Shannon Rowe's life was a profound testament to resilience, community service, and the quiet power of personal integrity. Born in March 1975 with a severe spinal condition - spina bifida - Shannon faced physical challenges from birth. Yet he lived a life marked not by limitation, but by purpose. He was a lifelong member of the Jaycees, beginning as a junior member before becoming a vital contributor to many of the organization's efforts. Most notably, his dedication to the Adair County Fair was unwavering. Even in the face of intense physical adversity, weather, terrain, and long hours, Shannon participated actively, often seen navigating the grounds on his scooter, helping however he could.

Kentucky taps the brakes on speeding this summer From Marla Marrs Frankfort, KY - As travel increases this summer, Kentuckians are encouraged to slow down, obey posted speed limits and help keep everyone on the road safe. Speed limits are not merely suggestions; they are in place to protect everyone on the road. Driving over the speed limit greatly reduces a driver's ability to react to unexpected situations, such as stopped traffic, road debris or encountering vulnerable road users such as highway workers, pedestrians, bicyclists and motorcyclists. Speeding and aggressive driving are major contributors to roadway fatalities. In fact, approximately one-third of all traffic fatalities in Kentucky involve a speeding or aggressive driver. In response, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet's Office of Highway Safety (KOHS) is partnering with law enforcement agencies statewide to implement the "Not So Fast, Kentucky" speed awareness campaign through July 31, 2025. "We want families to have a great time exploring all the beautiful things Kentucky has to offer this summer," said Gov. Andy Beshear "But to keep everyone safe on the road, I'm asking all Kentuckians to slow down, stay focused and be patient with each other on the road. Together, we can prevent crashes and make sure everyone gets home safely."

Great Wooded South, Chapter I By Billy Joe Fudge The Nascence As a Forest Ranger with primary duties of wildland fire prevention and fire suppression, I discovered and developed an affinity with that which I named the Great Wooded South. The Great Wooded South is a place; a place of a people and a culture without borders. A place that wraps itself around each of its inhabitants as one's skin envelops sinew, bone and breath. At the same time, a place enveloping all its community of citizens in a life giving forest of hills; of hollows; of rivers, creeks, streams and springs; of bogs; of plateaus; of desert dry ridge tops; of rocky outcroppings, boulders and bluffs; of trees young and old; of clearings both large and small! We all live in this forest and this forest lives in us. It is our home. Yes, your forest, our forest, my forest is the Great Wooded South. South Central Kentucky, South Eastern Kentucky and Northeastern Middle Tennessee are the center of the Eastern Appalachian Foothills and are the heart of the Great Wooded South. I began my career with the Kentucky Division of Forestry on August 1, 1972. Little did I know that it would become much more than a career. It became an identity that would follow me way beyond the 30 years of my employment and indeed would do so for the rest of my life.
