LAUGH - My abbreviated Philosophy

By Phillip Coffey

Laugh with the ease of the low-level pain-relieving.
Laugh though flowers with their beauty, soon tossed - with the sunshine fading cost. So much toil with only life lessons gain.

Soldiers March with sores on their feet - widows morn, children weep, others scorned, kneeling - fervently they pray.
Rise above all those daily blues - laugh - reflections in a gentle breeze.

Opinion: Adair Co. does have the resources datacenters need

By Robert Morrison Ph.D, Ph.D, MBA, MSc, MSc, MSc.

After reading the submission by Mig Feuser of the Adair Progress while doing my morning check of my hometown news, I felt the need to interject about what I find to be a major analytical gap leading to the conclusion of the article, which is that Adair County is not a good candidate for a datacenter. Actually, Adair County is an outstanding candidate for a datacenter location. On a comical note, I asked some datacenters via three different AI chatbots, and all three agreed with my assessment that Adair County is a good location for a datacenter. However, I applaud county and city officials for being proactive and discussing these impacts.

My intent is not to pick a fight with Mig Feuser, but to provide some insight from the Texas experience, hoping Adair County takes that into account if the need should arise. Although datacenter engineering is not my professional expertise, I have gained some reliable insight from a close family member who is a mechanical engineer and has been building datacenters for the past few years. However, my personal expertise is business management, finance, technology management, information systems, accounting, and industrial technology, the majors of my graduate degrees, and I have consulted on international industrial development projects, so it is not completely outside my wheelhouse.

The error in the conclusion results from ignoring some obvious resources somewhat unique to Adair County that make it attractive. Those are abundant water, two natural gas pipelines, and a fiberoptic backbone running down the Cumberland Parkway.

Opinion: Green River priceless!

By Marie Freeman

There needs to be a projection on our water sources. Water is life. Green River is priceless for our county, Taylor County. And the interest in a data center in Cave city. It's been put on a 12 month hold if that project takes course 300,000 gallons of water will be used that will affect the Green River, Mammoth Cave!

People in Kentucky need to stand up now to protect our water if we want to shower, hydrate, and have our livestock tomorrow, the projection is already there! We better look far outside of today, outside the box now! These data centers will ruin our State. And they are not for the device in your hand your computer. Theyre for military, surveillance and corporate easement on labor. Just my humble opinion.

For our children yes we need water conservation and protection of our ONLY water source, Green River!

Water concerns for our counties continue

After Casey County declared a water emergency last month, they have arranged to purchase water from Adair County. A pipeline was constructed so that water from Green River Lake could be pumped to Lake Liberty. How will this affect Adair County's supply?

This brings up water concerns for all the counties in the region. Should we begin to live on less water use now? With water shortages in the news daily in western states, what will we face when there will likely be water refugees who have to give up their farms and move because they can no longer earn a living with crops and cattle? To reply with thoughts on changes we might make now please click "comments" below and share ideas.

Adair Co. Ambulance Service awarded $438K Rural Health Grant

Adair County Ambulance Service is proud to announce it has been awarded a Rural Health Transformation Crisis to Care: EMS Training Equipment Grant in the amount of $438,418.00. This significant investment will strengthen emergency medical education in south-central Kentucky and position the service to become a regional leader in EMS training.

The grant will fund the purchase of advanced EMS training equipment, including high-fidelity patient simulators (mannequins) and high-fidelity patient simulation technology. These systems provide realistic, immersive training experiences that allow EMTs, paramedics, nurses, and other healthcare professionals to practice complex medical emergencies in a safe learning environment before responding to actual patients.

Director Chad Wheet said the award represents more than an investment in equipment--it is an investment in the future of rural healthcare.

"This grant gives us the opportunity to build something that will benefit not only Adair County but our entire region," said Wheet. "Our vision is to establish Adair County Ambulance Service as a regional EMS training site where first responders and healthcare providers can receive advanced, realistic simulation training close to home. Rural agencies often face challenges accessing this level of education, and we want to help bridge that gap."

Wheet also credited the dedication of the agency's employees for helping make the grant award possible.

Carol Perkins: Vehicles and Mowing the Yard

Previous Column: The Celebration

By Carol Perkins

It was all Guy's fault, and I made sure he knew it. Carla, our daughter, and I had gone to St. Augustine for a few days at the beach and a few more visiting my niece Sarah and her family. I usually park at an off-site lot at the airport, but to save time, we used the airport parking garage. Thankfully, Carla snapped a picture of our location, or we might still be wandering around looking for my car.

Her husband was meeting us at a nearby location when we returned, and he was already waiting by the time the "catastrophe" occurred. The longer he waited, the less patient he became, though, to be fair, he was working that day.

As I reached my SUV and pressed the unlock button on the fob, nothing happened.

Scholarship honors legacy of Lindsey Wilson University Singers

By Duane Bonifer

Bill Straus '70 did not come to Lindsey Wilson College to sing. But singing became a big part of his Lindsey Wilson experience after he joined the Lindsey Wilson Singers shortly after arriving on campus in the spring 1968 semester.

Straus wants future Lindsey Wilson students to enjoy the benefits of being part of the school's selective choral program, so he created the Bill Straus Endowed Scholarship to support members of the Lindsey Wilson Singers.

"Being part of the Singers played a very significant part in my life while I was a Lindsey Wilson student," said Straus, who lives in Lexington, Kentucky. "I want the Singers to continue to have an impact on students' lives at Lindsey Wilson."

Pre-K Pilot Programs expand to Frankfort and Glasgow

From Scottie Ellis

Frankfort, KY - On Tuesday, June 14, 2026, Gov. Andy Beshear announced the expansion of the Pre-K Pilot Programs to Franklin County Schools and Glasgow Independent Schools, bringing the total school districts served through the program to four. Since May, the Governor and his administration have increased childcare access for nearly 3,000 additional children across the commonwealth through two major announcements.

"Kentucky's children deserve the very best start, and Pre-K for All will deliver that and more by also helping parents save money, boosting our workforce and supporting businesses," said Gov. Beshear. "I am proud that, through this program and our Team Kentucky Early Learning Center, we're expanding access for nearly 3,000 children across our state. This is progress we intend to build on, because we know our families and businesses need it."

After receiving approval from the local school boards on Monday, Franklin County Schools and Glasgow Independent Schools will join Robertson and Rockcastle counties in the Pre-K Pilot Program. These full-day pilots serve as a first step in a phased, responsible path toward every Kentucky child having access to pre-K, with curricula beginning for the 2026-2027 school year.

Data Center moratoriums under discussion in Adair

By Mig Feuser / The Adair Progress

Data centers have moved back into the public spotlight in recent days after both the City of Columbia and Adair Fiscal Court began discussing temporary moratoriums on such developments. While the issue may appear new to many residents, it is one that has been building across Kentucky as communities attempt to balance economic development opportunities with concerns about infrastructure, utilities and long-term community planning.

Earlier this spring, The Adair Progress examined whether Adair County would even be a realistic location for one of the massive computer server facilities that increasingly power cloud computing, streaming services and the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence.

Photos from Old Washington, KY

By Mike Watson

Pen, after seeing your terrific photographs of Old Washington in Mason County, I had to deep dive into some of my research. My wife, Renea, has ancestors in old Mason County and the neighborhood of Old Washington. I have attached one example photo from about twenty years ago taken in the Old Baptist Cemetery in Old Washington. These are from a project I worked on for the Kentucky Genealogical Society's Blue Grass Roots, their quarterly publication, on pre-1800 marked graves in Kentucky.

Notice the inscription: "In Memory of Alfred Johnston, who died Nov. the 30th 1796 aged 3 days." This is a slate stone, locally sourced, and was likely carved within a few weeks or months after the death of this infant. Also note the almost total lack of deterioration and damage to a stone that dates back--at the time of the photo--about 210 years! Another item of interest to me--the month and day on the stone--that is also a birthdate (not year) shared with Mike Watson and Samuel L. Clemens!

LWU TheatreFest! to present Crimes of the Heart

By Duane Bonifer

Members of Lindsey Wilson University TheatreFest! hope that lightning will strike twice when they present Beth Henley's "Crimes of the Heart."

The award-winning play will be presented at 7pmCT July 30-31, 2026, and at 2pmCT on August 2, 2026, at Lindsey Wilson's V.P. Henry Auditorium.

Two summers ago, TheatreFest! presented Henley's 1984 play, "The Miss Firecracker Contest," to wide acclaim.

This year, the summer theatre company is presenting Henley's first play to reach Broadway -- the tragicomedy "Crimes of the Heart."

"A lot of the cast members of 'Crimes of the Heart' were in 'Firecracker' two summers ago," said Lindsey Wilson theatre professor Robert Brock, who is directing the play. "They wanted to do another play by Beth Henley because they enjoyed 'Firecracker' so much and audiences also really liked it. So I thought this would be a perfect fit for the cast and our audience. It's a great play."

Scenic Cumberland County - appreciating water


2026-07-15 - Cumberland County, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com.
Even in high temperatures, water is flowing over the falls at the little roadside park just off Hwy 61, north of Burkesville, and everything around it is green and healthy. We have much to be thankful for. After Casey County declared a water emergency last month, they were able to purchase water from Adair County. A pipeline was constructed from Green River Lake to Lake Liberty. This fix doesn't take care of the long term needs of our region of south central Kentucky.
