The first Earth Day was celebrated on April 22, 1970. Fifty-two years later, members of the Campbellsville University community came together with Dr. John Chowning who began the tradition on campus, to commemorate Earth Day recently at the Turner Log Cabin.

"One thing growing up on a farm in rural Kentucky, we were taught to be good stewards of the soil and God's creation," Chowning, executive assistant to the president for government, community and constituent relations, said.

Brittany Smith introduced Kirby Hancock at banquet

By Brittany Smith
I am forever grateful and honored to have this opportunity to present Mr. Kirby Hancock with the Adair County Chamber of Commerce Agriculturalist of the Year award.

In the fall of 2000 (I'll let you do the math there), I stepped foot inside a classroom that, little did I know, would change the trajectory of my life. As a freshman, I was looking for my niche in the walls of Adair County High School, and I found it in Mr. Kirby Hancock's classroom.

Alongside the numerous other students in my class, on the first day of school, we were presented with the assignment of memorizing and reciting the FFA Creed. Unlike many others, this was a task that I actually enjoyed and I worked hard to develop and perfect my ability to speak through this assignment over the next 5 weeks in his class.
