Governor's Monday update: Mask usage slowing new cases By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Frankfort, KY - Gov. Andy Beshear on Monday updated Kentuckians on the state's continuing efforts to fight the novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) in the commonwealth. "July was the toughest month, with the largest number yet of overall positive cases. Unfortunately, that will have negative ramifications for August," the Governor said. "We find we often lose Kentuckians several weeks after they test positive. That means we are likely to have a larger number of deaths in August." Despite this, Gov. Beshear said, there is reason for optimism. "The numbers are telling us that facial coverings and masks are working," he said. "We were facing what looked like exponential growth. In order to see our cases go down, we had to slow the increase. That's why the mask mandate was necessary. If we had done nothing, by now, we would have been seeing 1,000 new cases every day, but instead we are seeing the increase drop off."

History Monday: Big events locally, 1976 By Mike Watson The year of the Bicentennial of the United States, 1976, was a huge year for our nation and celebrations took place everywhere three people came together. Columbia and Adair County had several events, but one of the noteworthy happenings of that year came at the beginning of November--the opening of Columbia's first franchised fast-food restaurant, Burger Queen! During the hottest part of the summer in 1976, construction began on the site of a coming phenomenon, at least for our part of the world, a fast-food restaurant, with drive-thru window and all the trimmings. Burger Queen was coming to Columbia. McBY formed to make this happen. Clifton McGaha, Gaylon Yarberry and James Brock formed a corporation that provided Queenie Bee and her burgers to the population, near and far. There was a BQ in Campbellsville, so we were not strangers to the tasty beef morsels and fries, but as of late October-early November we would no longer have to sojourn out of the county to enjoy one or two...or three. The building went up in July and August and finish work was completed in October with the opening one of the largest events of the year.
