For Father's Day, I want to hear Dad tell that story By Tom Waggener Someone posted a question on Facebook yesterday prompting father's favorite quotes. I immediately thought, "...practically no one were driving the car..." Obviously this will sound random for people who didn't know Ed Waggener nor the defendants. The quote was the last line, or rather the punchline, of one of Dad's favorite stories about a group of intoxicated locals who wound up in court for bad behavior in a moving vehicle while under the influence. As the story went, at the trial, the gentleman on the witness stand was asked who was driving the car at the scene of the crime. The man being questioned responded, "practically no one were driving the car, your honor, but Buckham Frankum were feeding the gas."

Governor's Sunday Update By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Frankfort, KY - Gov. Andy Beshear on Sunday updated Kentuckians on the commonwealth's ongoing efforts to defeat the novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19). "Team Kentucky, we can do this," the Governor said. "Keep getting tested, keep wearing masks, keep answering the call if our contact tracers reach out to you. We have the tools we need to slow the spread of COVID-19 significantly until we get a vaccine." The Governor also wished all Kentucky dads a happy Father's Day. "My dad worked tirelessly to show up for my brother and me, no matter what challenges he was facing," said Gov. Beshear. "I always want to do the same for Will and Lila. They are my greatest joy. Happy Father's Day to all the dads and father figures out there who are giving their kids their very best even during such a difficult year." Case information As of 4 p.m. June 21, Gov. Beshear said there were at least 13,750 coronavirus cases in Kentucky, 117 of which were newly reported Sunday.

April 13, 1978 Around Adair with Ed Waggener The article below first appeared in the April 13, 1978 edition of the Daily Statesman. Topics included continued appreciation of the Miss Lake Cumberland Beauty Pageant, a spontaneous bluegrass concert by Oswald Stotts and Bill Spears outside the Alpine in Burkesville, and an update on Mayor Squaredeal Downey's Dogwood Project. --Pen By Ed Waggener Lake Cumberland keeps winning friends Sue Stivers, Director of the Miss Lake Cumberland Beauty agent, shared a note she received from Edward A. Schellhous, Associate Director of Admissions, the University Cincinnati, in which he said, "If I had the authority and-or power, I would certainly nominate Columbia, Ky, as America's most hospitable and friendly city." Mr. Schellhous was a judge in the contest. That's pretty strong language, but I know the people of Columbia will be highly appreciative of the note. It seems that Mrs. Stivers and the Pageant just keep winning friends for Columbia. And now, what next? The June Dairy Day is the next major event in Columbia, with the Adair County Fair following shortly after. Nobody has asked for my opinion, but I'm hoping that mother mini-super event might be squeezed in in May. One thing that is being thought about is to get a Bluegrass band in here one Friday night, Saturday, or Sunday afternoon. Bluegrass bands aren't too plentiful in Adair County, though the makings of some good ones are here. Steve Doss and Ben Gordon Berley had an excellent one, Wolf Creek, in Columbia for the Mark Twain Festival one year. But it has since disbanded. Then there's Oswald Stotts, the Bill Monroe of Independent Ridge.
