Governor urges action as weekly cases again hit record high By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Frankfort, KY - Gov. Andy Beshear on Sunday asked all Kentuckians to recommit to following safety guidelines as Kentucky again set a record for cases reported in one week.

"Coronavirus is present in every corner of the commonwealth and it's spreading at a truly alarming rate," the Governor said. "This is not a drill; this is a health emergency that we all need to take seriously. Let's come together as Team Kentucky to defeat this virus." Gov. Beshear reminded community leaders, schools, businesses and residents in the state's hardest hit areas to follow the Red Zone Reduction Recommendations. Thursday's red zone counties should follow the recommendations Monday, Nov. 16, through Sunday, Nov. 22.

The Grocery Store on the Corner, 1914-1942 By JIM By 1914, the venerable Creel Building had stood on the exit corner of Campbellsville Street and the Square for nearly a century and had housed myriad business operations, including the Adair County News in its infancy, the short lived Citizens Bank, and perhaps most (in)famously, the Winfrey Hotel, ground zero of the 1873 cholera outbreak in Adair County. In the summer of 1914, the Garrison Bros. moved their grocery store from the west corner of the public square to "the brick building in the north-east corner of the square, owned by Mr. Jas. T. Page and formerly occupied by Mr. Henry Ingram." Bert Epperson bought out the brothers Garrison toward the end of 1916, and almost exactly three years later, ads began appearing for the firm of Keene & Hoy (sic; should be Hay), "successors to Bert Epperson," stating they were "doing business at the same stand" as Mr. Epperson had. The two new proprietors were Clarence Elmer Keen(e) and James T. Hay.

Kentucky Color: Late Autumn and Early Winter By Billy Joe Fudge Then there is that drooped eyelids, lifted chin, toothy smirked, I'm smarter than you, sardonic grin of that waskly wabbit, Bugs Bunny which brings back memories of late Autumn and early Winter Saturday mornings. As an only child, farm boy growing up on a dairy farm in the midst of The Great Wooded South, I remember getting to sleep in and have some much needed R&R on some Saturday mornings. After the tobacco was stripped, Dad and Hollis Gilpin, Murrell Reed, Frank Paxton, Garon Parrish, Allen Phelps, Rollin Coomer or some other local hunter would be "bird hunting" on Saturdays and I would get a little cartoon time in on some of those mornings. Of course, Bugs Bunny was one of a historic lineup on Saturday morning in the late 50's and early 60's! Can you name some of them? 2020-11-15 08:43:22 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Kentucky Color by Billy Joe Fudge

LCDHD: Difficult week, Adair still Red-Critical LCDHD COVID-19 Public Information Brief for 11/14/2020 By Amy Tomlinson Lake Cumberland District Health Department This has been our most difficult week since the onset of the outbreak. As of today, we have a record number of active cases, 985. This is 234 more than last Saturday. At both the state on the local level we experienced a record number of new cases. We add 866 new cases this week, compared to 631 last week. We also experienced 11 deaths this week. Also, our hospitalization rate of 6.79 means that about 1 out of every 15 cases will become hospitalized. The surge is so great at the moment, the health department is falling behing on case investigations and contact tracing. As of today, we are 2 to 4 days behind. We are also behind in entering data into the state system causing the numbers the new cases the Governor reports and the number of counties he reports as being in the "red-critical" range of community-spread is off. Even still, with the numbers we can verify locally we have nine of our district's ten counties in the "red-critical" range of community-spread: Adair, Casey, Clinton, Cumberland, Green, Pulaski, Russell, Taylor, and Wayne. This leaves only McCreary in the "orange-accelerated" range. We call upon our citizens and community leaders to step-up your efforts in regards to COVID-19. Please don't wait until one of your loved ones dies or is hospitalized to take this seriously. Please, let's all do our part in slowing the spread of COVID-19 by wearing our face coverings, avoiding crowds (especially in confined spaces), social distancing when around others, increasing our hand hygiene, increasing our general sanitation, and by avoiding the touching of our faces.

The Pastor's Blog: Holidays in the midst of COVID-19 "...In our disappointments in not being able to do Thanksgiving and Christmas in the same way "we've always done them," we will discover new and fulfilling ways of putting the "eyes and ears, hands and feet of Jesus" to our faith during this very special season. By Dr. John E. Chowning Senior Pastor, Saloma Baptist Church, Campbellsville, KY The months of November and December in the year 2020 promise to be very challenging and different than what most of us have experienced. These months feature two of the primary holidays of the year. First, we come to the annual celebration of the secular holiday of Thanksgiving - scheduled for November 26 this year. On Sunday, November 29, we move into the Advent Season when we begin our annual time of preparation for the annual celebration of the coming of the Messiah - a time of preparation and anticipation to remember his first coming as a baby in a manger in Bethlehem more than 2,000 years ago.

COVID-19: how long are we contagious COVID-19: The Lake Cumberland District Health Department representatives regularly answer questions from the communities in Adair * Casey * Clinton * Cumberland * Green * McCreary * Pulaski * Russell * Taylor and * Wayne Counties in regular Zoom meetings. One Q&A follows: Q: ...On determining isolation based on symptom onset - I have read research that indicates a person is more likely to be contagious early on (even prior to showing symptoms, one reason to wear masks), but everything I have read suggests that a person may no longer be contagious 10 days after symptoms are resolved... A: It has been ascertained from several studies that most people with mild to moderate disease are no longer contagious after the 10th day from symptom onset, providing they have not had a fever for 24 hours and their symptoms are improving. Severe disease may prolong viral shedding and hence the CDC recommends a 20 day isolation period - and of course the person has to be improving. 2020-11-15 06:22:31 | Comments | Printable version
