Governor's Sunday Update By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Frankfort, KY - Gov. Andy Beshear on Sunday updated Kentuckians on the state's continued efforts to fight the novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19). As of 4 p.m. June 28, Gov. Beshear said there were at least 15,232 coronavirus cases in Kentucky, 67 of which were newly reported Sunday. "We see states in the South like Florida and Texas with rising cases and know it could happen here in Kentucky," the Governor said. "It wasn't anything magic that lead us to our early success. It was us truly coming together as a people and showing that the lives of other Kentuckians is more important to us than anything."

September 1977 Around Adair with Ed Waggener The column below *probably* first appeared in one of the September, 1977 issues of the Daily Statesman. Topics included the tiny community of Keltner, KY, a visit from a genealogist, the law career of Cousin Billy Willis, and one-year anniversaries for Convenient Food Mart and Burger Queen. --Pen By Ed Waggener There is nary a Keltner in Keltner anymore, although some quite famous ones, including former Columbia Mayor John Hollis Keltner, are from there. Keltner is the main metropolis along Highway 768, after Milltown, so far on the edge of Adair County that it is almost in Metcalfe--or Green. According to the sign by Elroy Coffey's house on the eastern approach of Keltner, the population is nine. "But that isn't so," Clarice Coffey, who runs the Kellner general store, Ural Coffey General Merchandise, with her husband, says. "There's Elroy (Coffey) and his wife Vinnle, and their son Phillip, that's three," she says. "Then there is Ural and me. That's five. And Amos Willis and his wife Tina. That's seven. And then there's the Bennetts-Bobby and Geraldine, and their children, Mike and Gail. That's 11," Mrs. Coffey calculates. There is just the one store in Keltner. Coffey's serves the western tip of Adair County, from over around Morris Chapel, the Metcalfe County area around Bridgeport, and a little of Green County up around Mell. The store carries everything, from food and drinks to clothes, shoes, and hardware. It's a good thing, too, because it is 16 miles into Columbia, and that 16 miles is among the crookedest road in Adair County, whether one travels along Weed Ridge or comes down through Milltown.

LCDHD COVID-19 Public Information Brief 6/27/2020 By Amy Tomlinson Lake Cumberland District Health Department Despite your local health departments' faithful fight to slow the spread of COVID-19 via Case Investigation and Contract Tracing, and the issuing of isolation and quarantine orders, mother nature is winning the battle. Except for the week when we had the outbreak in the Nursing Home, in terms of new cases and active cases, last week was our worst week since the outbreak began. Also, in terms of new cases, this was our state's worst week since the outbreak began. If the new cases rate continues to grow as it has over the last two weeks, we are not far from our capacity being overwhelmed - meaning, we will not have enough staff available to investigate every close contact. Additionally, we are already starting to see hospital bed capacity become a concern at some locations around our nation. It is foolhardy to think that cannot happen in Kentucky. If this were to happen - once the hospital capacity is overwhelmed or once too many medical staff are off sick with the disease - it will not matter what your health care need is, the hospital will be overwhelmed. Now is our window of opportunity to prevent this eventuality. Now. Not a month from now, not a week from now. Now. If the public waits too long to shake off its complacency with the public health guidance, the disease will be so embedded within our communities it will be nearly impossible to slow its further spread. Our best chance for slowing the spread is for everyone to wear a mask when out in public, to avoid crowds, to social distance (stay 6-feet from others), to wash their hands with soap and water often and thoroughly, to stay home if they have a fever or are coughing, to increase sanitation, and to avoid touching their faces.

Governor's Satuday Update By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Frankfort, KY - Gov. Andy Beshear on Saturday updated Kentuckians on the commonwealth's ongoing efforts to fight the novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19). He also reminded Kentuckians that on Friday, the Kentucky Department for Public Health (KDPH) Commissioner Dr. Steven Stack warned Kentuckians that air quality in the state may be poor this weekend and into next week. An enormous cloud of dry and dusty air that originated over the Sahara Desert will move across the southern United States over the next three to seven days. "We absolutely need to be cautious this weekend and next week, monitor the air quality index in our area, and if needed, limit our time outside," said Gov. Beshear. "We've already shown that we can come together to fight a global pandemic for months, so I know we can take the steps needed to protect ourselves and our loved ones over one week." Case Information As of 4 p.m. June 27, Gov. Beshear said there were at least 15,167 coronavirus cases in Kentucky, 316 of which were newly reported Saturday.
