Daily News for Wednesday, August 28, 2024
Sheriff Brockman announces plan to retire By Sheriff Josh Brockman I write this to inform that I have filed my intent to retire effective 10-01-24. This has been a difficult decision, however I have been eligible to retire for almost 3 years now and have pushed it off and continued to serve. It comes to a point where an individual can no longer ignore the matter. It comes to a point where you are moving backwards in your retirement and not forward. My family has asked me to slow down and come home and that's what I intend to do. I am going to do my best to give back to them as much time as I can because I've taken so much from them. I can only pray that the people of Adair County understand and feel that my family and I have given enough.

Mediation for Adair Fiscal Court - a second call By Linda Waggener This is a second call for mediation to bring the focus of leaders of Adair County, KY government to the table to get agreement on budget and personnel issues. We are in an emergency situation as evidenced by actions in meetings, filmed and posted on Facebook yet again. A simple appeal sent members of the court off into tangents, no results for the people, no help for employees. Morale sounds like it is at an all time low. This cannot continue. 2024-08-28 15:43:14 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Local Government

KY welcomes Dolly Parton to celebrate Imagination Library From Crystal Staley/James Hatchett Frankfort, KY - Gov. Andy Beshear and First Lady Britainy Beshear welcomed Grammy Award-winning artist, actress and philanthropist Dolly Parton to the Bluegrass State on Tuesday, August 27, 2024, to celebrate Kentucky's success in getting free books into the hands of children in every county in the commonwealth. More than 500 local Imagination Library program partners, library staff, literacy advocates and others who helped expand Dolly Parton's Imagination Library across Kentucky gathered at the historic Lyric Theatre in downtown Lexington to hear inspiring words from Dolly and recognize this milestone. Now, all Kentucky children can receive one free book per month, from birth to age 5, ensuring they can build their own at-home library before starting kindergarten. On the Lyric's stage, the Governor and First Lady sat down with Dolly to learn more about her inspiration for creating the Imagination Library, her advice on encouraging families to participate in the program, who had the greatest influence on her life and what she has planned for the future. In celebration of Dolly's visit, Gov. Beshear proclaimed August as Dolly Parton's Imagination Library of Kentucky Month in the commonwealth and named Dolly a member of the Honorary Order of Kentucky Colonels. Before departing the stage, Dolly wrapped up the visit by performing a few of her hit songs, including "Try" and "Coat of Many Colors."
