July 24, 1979 Around Adair with Ed Waggener The article below first appeared in the July 24, 1979, issue of the Adair County News. Topics included the unpopularity of Joe Califano in tobacco country, a suggested slate for the upcoming City Council elections, Dad's plans for "frugaling," and yours truly as an 8-year-old, trying to tell a story about slushes. --Pen No tears for Joe There are no tears in Tobbaccoland for Joseph Califano, the lately unlamented, departed' Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare. He waged a holy campaign against the use of tobacco and against tobacco research. Burley farmers in Adair County will surely not mourn his leaving I overheard a coffee drinkers discussion club in Jamestown, Tennessee, Sunday, and the consensus was that Califano was the worst in Washington. They weren't too high on the President. (They weren't favoring his re-election.) One said, "I'm for that fellow, that general, Nixon had in the White House. What's-his-name?" Another answered, "Alexander Haig." But a third said, "No general. No way. Eisenhower, for a do-nothing president, was alright, I guess. He didn't mess anything up, but he didn't help anything either. I still say, no generals." I agree with their opinion about Califano. (And reserve comment on the generals.) Except I always thought it would have been a real attention-grabber to have, located in Columbia, a "J. Califano, Tobacconist," store. Now, with his demise, the idea has less appeal.

LCDHD COVID-19 Public Information Brief 12/26/2020 By Amy Tomlinson Lake Cumberland District Health Department Though we know our numbers are very likely skewed due to the holidays since fewer testing sites were open on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, we are thankful our numbers are lower. The weekly total of new cases is down for the third week at the state level and for the 2nd week for Lake Cumberland. This week we added 791 new cases, last week, 1,172. Last week on Saturday we had 1,138 active cases, today, 887. We did experience 14 deaths this week, and our hospitalizations are higher compared to last week (91 vs 80). The biggest news of the week was that vaccinations started becoming available in our District this week. Area nursing homes have began being vaccinated via a federal contract with CVS and Walgreens pharmacies. Area hospitals and local health departments have received limited supplies of vaccine to vaccinate medical personnel and medical support staff. Watch our Daily Brief and social media posts for breaking vaccination information. Unitl the vaccine is widely available, 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.
