Letter: Seeking copy of Long Hunters history Stephen Collins writes: I would like to know if anyone has a copy of the book "The Long Hunters of Skin House Branch." I would be willing to purchase a copy. Does the Adair County Library have a copy?Lee Ann Jessee at the Adair County Public Library said "We only had two available for sale at $25 each, and both sold today.

Brian Patrick Ferry, 40, Taylor County, KY (1980-2020) Brian Patrick Ferry was born December 15, 1980 in Taylor County, Kentucky to Patrick Ferry and Judith Wacker Ferry. He departed this life Monday December 21, 2020 after a brief illness, surrounded by those he loved. He attained the age of forty years and six days. Brian was born with the gift of charm and the most beautiful eyelashes, which certainly did not hurt his cause. In his relatively short time on earth, Brian touched so many lives, many of those on the waters of Green River Lake and in the woods throughout south central Kentucky. He lived for the outdoors, spending countless hours in boats, on shores, and in every kind of blind you can imagine.

CU graduates 1,027 students in first virtual commencement By Ariel C. Emberton Campbellsville, KY - "Be bold, be courageous and be yourself," Parish Howell Jr., a Bachelor of Science in Health and Physical Education graduate of Norfolk, Va., said during his speech for Campbellsville University's December 2020 commencement ceremony. Howell was asked to speak on behalf of the graduating class in the first virtual commencement ceremony which aired on Campbellsville University's Facebook page Dec. 18. He said during his time at Campbellsville the campus community taught him how to be three things: bold, courageous and himself. "Something else they taught me was that wherever you go, whether it be tomorrow, the next day or a couple years down the line, go there with all your heart -- 100%," Howell said.

LCDHD COVID-19 Public Information Brief 12/22/2020 By Amy Tomlinson Lake Cumberland District Health Department On an exciting note, the COVID-19 vaccine is starting to flow into our district. The process of vaccinating nursing home residents and staff has begun and will hopefully be continuing over the next few weeks. The Local Health Departments have started receiving vaccine and will begin vaccinating medical staff and support staff of medical practices. The hospitals are also expected to receive vaccine and will vaccinate their staff and other identified priority groups. Getting the nursing home staff and residents vaccinated will help tremendously. Despite being only about 8% of our total cases, this group makes up about 65% of our total deaths and 27% of our total hospitalizations. Getting area medical and medical support staff vaccinated will ensure our medical infrastructures can continue to function. Keep in mind, all of this is in Phase 1a of the vaccination plan. Vaccination opportunities will be expanded as more vaccine becomes available. Please be patient and watch our Daily Brief and social media posts for breaking information. Until the vaccine is widely available, 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.
