Governor: Changes to vaccine eligibility, nursing home visitation By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Frankfort, KY - On Thursday, Gov. Andy Beshear said cases and deaths from COVID-19 continue to moderate as more Kentuckians receive the safe and effective vaccines. "The positivity rate ticked up a little bit, to 3.95%," the Governor said. "We like to see that below 5%." Dr. Steven Stack, commissioner of the Kentucky Department for Public Health, said the eligibility requirements for receiving a vaccine will change slightly next week based on U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidance. "As of March 15, the Kentucky COVID-19 vaccination eligibility phase is 1-C," Dr. Stack said. "1-C is now expanded to include all persons ages 16 or older with any medical or behavioral health condition or conditions that the CDC reports 'are' or 'might be' at increased risk of severe COVID-19 illness."

Sheriff and County Clerk warn of phone scam By Sheriff Josh Brockman Adair County Sheriff's Office On Thursday, March 11, 2021, I was contacted by Adair County Clerk Lisa Greer about a potential scam. This morning, Greer was contacted by a resident of Adair County who stated that she was contacted by a male subject who claimed they represented the Adair County Clerk's Office and that her credit card wasn't working correctly and she had to pay a sum of cash immediately or her driver's license would be revoked. The County Clerk's Office would never ask you for your bank information over the phone and they do not have the authority to cancel your operator's license, as they deal with vehicle licensure. In addition, the Clerk's Office does not have any men employed at this time. Clerk Greer and I would like to remind everyone to be mindful of these scams. No government entity is going to ask you what your personal identification is as they already have access to it. If something seems off it usually is. 2021-03-11 13:45:02 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Police and Fire Reports
Parnell and Coleman heading to national tournament By Maggie Coleman Adair County homechoolers Dillion Parnell (Senior) and Gabe Coleman (6th grader) are playing for the Cumberland Christian Home Educators based out of Somerset. The team has two Kentucky Christian Schools Athletic Association state championships already and hopes for a third in two weeks under the leadership of volunteer Head Coach Mark Coleman. Mark coached the Middle School team, including his son Gabe, to a winning season of 11-3. In December, the head JV and Varsity coach had to step aside due to a family member who was at very high risk for Covid, so Mark accepted the role as head coach for all three teams. Senior Dillion Parnell was the standout player on his Senior Night this week at home against Clay Mill Christian Academy, shooting 6 three-pointers for an average of 75% from the 3-point line and ending the game with 24 points, 2 rebounds, and 3 assists. The Hawks brought home a victory against Clay Mill, making their record 10-3 overall as they gear up to attend the National Homeschool Basketball Championship Tournament next week in Gatlinburg, TN, then the Kentucky Christian Schools Athletic Conference State Tournament the following week. 2021-03-11 12:16:19 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Sports
