Letter: Question about US127 realignment in Casey Co.

Richard Raines writes:
Since last Saturday was the first time that I had heard about the realignment plans for Hwy 127 in the Dunnville area (I saw the posted map) is this new construction to "bypass" the little town of Dunnville (If you want to call that area a town)?

It seems to me that if memory serves me correctly, that when a lot of Hwy 127 between Liberty and Russell Springs was rebuilt in the early 1990s (using the areas of the road that appear to have been rebuilt when Green River Dam was built, and yes I remember the area flooding in 2024 with water being almost up to the road just north of Dunnville), local residents had requested that the road NOT be built to bypass the little town of Dunnville, so has someone else decided that now, 30-some years later that the road should bypass Dunnville?

Travel: Old Washington, Kentucky

If you drive to Campbellsville and hang a right on Highway 68, you can travel Northwest all the way to Ohio, crossing the Ohio River on the William H. Harsha Bridge outside Maysville, before KY 68 terminates at the intersection with Ohio Highway 52.

Just before you reach the river, you'll pass by Washington, Kentucky, one of the earliest settlements in Kentucky and also one of the earliest American settlements west of the Appalachian Mountains.

Washington was founded in 1786 by Arthur Fox, a Revolutionary War soldier from Virginia, and William Wood, a Baptist preacher, also from Virginia. The first trustees included Daniel Boone. The land on which it was laid out was purchased by Fox and Wood from Simon Kenton, the original explorer and settler of the area who at that time lived close by. The town was founded as Washington, Virginia since in 1786 Kentucky did not yet exist as a separate state. It is believed that Washington is the first settlement named for George Washington.

The town has grown little since the 1840s. Much of the old part of Washington remains as it did in the late 18th century and early 19th century, with many log cabins remaining. There are five museums including the Albert Sidney Johnson/Bull Nelson House, the Marshall Key House where Harriet Beecher Stowe stayed when she saw the slave auction and a 1787 log cabin called Mefford's Fort.

Adair County is now Bear country

By Mig Feuser / The Adair Progress

For the past several years, black bears have slowly gone from being a rare curiosity in Adair County to becoming occasional visitors. This summer, however, those encounters appear to be taking another step forward. We are now residential area for black bears.

This comes from the latest reminder from the Wolf Creek National Fish Hatchery, which shared a Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources advisory warning that young black bears are currently roaming across much of the Commonwealth.

What's In A Label?

By Narda Tate

A little while back, I bought a new set of sheets for our king bed. What a delightful surprise to find that inside the fitted sheet were little sewn in labels actually marking the top or bottom of the sheet. What a marvelous idea!

How many times had I previously gotten the bottom sheet placed on the bottom of the mattress only to find out I had put the side of the sheet on the bottom. Aaarrggh! Take it off, make a quarter turn and try again. Now before you think I am making a mountain out of a molehill, let me remind you that this was before the advent of fitted sheets with deep pockets.

The sheets back then needed a great deal of strength, stamina and determination to get them onto the mattress properly. In fact, I had often thought of suggesting that they make this activity one of the Olympic competitions. This would not be for the faint of heart!

But I had a revelation one time, that since I own these sheets, I could mark them with a magic marker and know before I started, which end was up -so to speak. I grabbed a marker of formidable size and marked my own label on the inside down at the elastic band. 3 cheers for me!

Until, not too long ago, our company had departed.

A conversation with Adair Supt. Faulkner

Adair County School Superintendent Jason Faulkner is nominated for a nationwide award. Mig Feuser, Adair Progress editor, talked with him about this honor and the state of the schools. This article shares Supt. Faulkner's goals and what they are based upon as he leads students pathways in our public schools.

Adair Progress: "You were recently nominated for the 2026 Excellence Award in Power Leadership and are one of only 16 superintendents nationwide selected. What was your reaction when you learned of the nomination, and what does this recognition mean to you personally and professionally?"

Jason Faulkner: "Honestly, I was both humbled and honored to receive such a nomination. We pride ourselves in the Adair County School District for serving our students and supporting our staff. I don't often spend much time thinking about personal awards. Any recognition that any member of our staff receives is a direct reflection on the collective work happening across our district.

Grandparents come to life in childhood memories

By Kyle Ballou
Honoring his grandparents, Hollis and Cressie Antle

Out delivering, I passed by a place that made my heart flutter with memories.

Homemade biscuits Grandma made with her rolling pin. Sausage and bacon from the hog they raised.

A place where circus peanuts and hard candy sat in glass dishes on the counter, and homemade chocolate pies cooled beside chocolate oatmeal cookies for eager hands where the goodies never lasted long.

Where the cold Mountain Dews waited in the bottom refrigerator drawer as a reward for a hard day's work.
