Governor's Sunday update: 425 new cases By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Frankfort, KY - Gov. Andy Beshear on Sunday updated Kentuckians on the state's continuing efforts to fight the novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19). "Some good news and some bad news in today's COVID-19 report," the Governor said. "In good news, we're ending the week with about 330 fewer cases than we had last week. That's directly attributable to people wearing their facial coverings or masks. Please keep it up, wear them even more, especially when you're inside. On the bad side, our positivity rate, which won't be official until tomorrow for this week, will be higher meaning that the virus continues to spread aggressively." Case Information As of 3 p.m. Aug. 9, Gov. Beshear said there were at least 34,982 coronavirus cases in Kentucky, 425 of which were newly reported Sunday. Nine of the newly reported cases were from children age 5 and younger. "We've got a number of counties that have 10 or more new cases - Jefferson, Fayette, Pulaski, Taylor, Hardin, Madison, Casey, Warren and Wayne - and a number that are really close there. So remember no matter where you are in the commonwealth, COVID-19 is spreading," the Governor said. "Nine new kids under 5 have tested positive, so again let's make sure we're protecting each other."

November 23, 1977 Around Adair with Ed Waggener The article below first appeared in the November 23, 1977 issue of the Daily Statesman. Topics included the best Adair County films, the missing exits on the then-Cumberland Parkway, Hunter Durham's working lunch in Philadelphia, Adair County's High Standard of Happiness, and a comparison of tobacco prices in Greensburg and Lebanon. --Pen By Ed Waggener AFI missed it I watched the American Film Institute's tribute to the 50 greatest American films on TV Monday night. It astounded me, how little the critics know. They left out the three best ones, at least as far as Adair County is concerned. First, the classic American film of all times, "Your Cheatin' Heart." I have seen it, I guess, at least six times. It makes me cry every time. What a sanger, Hank Williams. He could make you see the light. Then, "Moses," or as some call it, "The Ten Commandments." I'll never forget the scene where Aaron brings down the Golden Calf. It was a scene never duplicated until Jerry Lee Lewis attacked Miss Frances Russell's piano at Adair County High School in the late 1950's when he gave a concert here. And the other truly magnificent film, "Thunder Road,"--it was omitted. Of course, it had the greatest actor, Robert Mitchum. Must have played here 50 times, in the Rialto, the Columbian, and the Adair Drive-In Theaters. Funny, but they did something to improve it each time it returned. And it really helped our driving. Lonnie and Raymond were The Law then.
