Families should review insurance coverage before college

From Kristin Voskuhl

Frankfort, KY - As students prepare to move into residence halls and off-campus housing this fall, Team Kentucky is encouraging families to review their insurance policies to help avoid unexpected costs during the school year.

"College is an investment in your student's future. As families get ready to send their kids to a college near or far, it's also a good time to have a conversation about insurance," said Gov. Beshear. "The right insurance policies match your family's needs and protect you from unexpected expenses."

From health insurance and renters insurance to auto coverage, a few conversations before move-in day can help students understand their coverage and make informed decisions if they need medical care or experience a property loss.

Old Fort Harrod State Park festival August 13-15

A stop at Old Fort Harrod State Park in Harrodsburg, KY leaves a vivid impression. The 15 acres feature a reconstruction of Fort Harrod, the first permanent American settlement in the state of Kentucky.

The fort's construction tells its own story of frontier ingenuity. Sharpened points topped the log fencing that encircled the compound, designed to slow down -- if not stop entirely -- anyone attempting to climb over.

Sleep better by moving the body, staying social

If you are sleeping less than you used to, you are not alone and you are not necessarily doing anything wrong. According to the National Institute on Aging, sleep changes with age in predictable, biological ways. The deep sleep phases that restore the body become shorter.

These are normal changes, not signs of disease. The challenge is that the body still needs roughly the same amount of sleep it always did, around seven to eight hours, according to the National Sleep Foundation. The need doesn't shrink, but the ability to get there does.

Phillip Coffey - Hang on

By Phillip Coffey

Hang on in the bitter cold with burst of squalls of icy snow
The glow of sweaty brows, sun beating down the heat - just short of a bleeding soul.

Dare not let go, battle onward against the most dangerous of livid, foul-mouthed angry foe.
Rest between the faintest breaths within your heaving breast.

Carry onward among the mightiest of angry blows-seething for reasons never known.
Light a candle for widows and orphans lost among the worlds most beautiful people - immeasurable cost.
Look up to him that loves us most - dying on a rugged cross.

Football: This Kool Aid tastes different

By Ryan Hoots
Sports Director, UntdWeStnd.com

Lexington, KY - Unlike Men's Basketball, hope doesn't spring from eternal optimism surrounding the Kentucky Football program. In fact, some might call the word "hope" a curse word if you've watched enough Wildcat Football over the years. We've all been in this position before. Every offseason has the buzzwords that fill social media and newspapers weekly. Phrases like "new energy", "culture change", and dare I say it "explosive offense" are thrown around to get clicks up and hype fans up before the first ball is kicked off of the tee. Then, by the time the leaves turn color -- so does the Big Blue Nation.

You're lying if you can't say you've stood in the Kroger Field parking lot playing the "what if" or "if only this happened" game after a deflating loss.

That is the reason I've tried to stay away from drinking too much of the Will Stein Kool-Aid. But darn it, the man has me excited.

America's 'unofficial largest' Osage Orange Tree welcomes visitors at Old Fort Harrod State Park. The Osage Orange Tree (Maclura pomifera) is most commonly called the Hedge Apple Tree with fruit that makes great throwing balls. The sign at its base reads, "Circa late 18th Century, Tree crown is 76', Tree height is 88', Circumference of tree standing 12' 4", Diameter at breast height 56". The Harrodsburg tree is taller and broader than the National Champion, but remains the Unofficial National Champion due to the split trunk."

Adair Marching Band members seen modeling success

By JR Thompson, ACHS Assistant Principal

Hard work, determination, a good attitude -- all components of successful individuals. Do you know who I have seen modeling these qualities consistently this summer?

The Adair County Marching Band. Each morning when I arrive to the campus, they are often already on the pavement preparing for their season. When I leave after 3pm -- they are still there. Even after practicing in 100 degree heat, they are smiling and cheering. All that said, I just wanted to express how much I admire the hard work of these incredible students and of their directors.

Please know we see you, we definitely hear you (it sounds so good), and I'm proud of your dedication to the talents you continue to develop. #RollTribe

Travel: Shepperds call Iceland extraordinary land

April Yurcevic Shepperd and husband Guy Shepperd are home from an adventure in Iceland. She shares some of her family photos before sifting through the 20K+ frames shot during the trip. She wrote, "We spent 14 days and traveled 1,800 miles exploring this extraordinary land.

"Although we were lowered into a volcano, hiked glaciers, explored ice caves and lava tunnels, kayaked amongst icebergs, scrambled up basalt columns, soaked in hot springs bursting into pools at the base of mountains, hiked to the most magnificent waterfalls in the world, dug our toes into the black sand beaches, and waddled with the puffins, it just simply wasn't enough.

"There is still so much in Iceland to see, explore, and experience. I plan to return. I have fallen in love with this wild land and have seen the power of God." Find all the pictures on her Facebook page at April Yurcevic Shepperd.

Carol Perkins: Up the Water Spout

Previous Column: Harvey and Me

By Carol Perkins

When the Itsy Bitsy Spider climbed the waterspout, he certainly didn't expect a flood to sweep him away. Yet when the sun came out, he returned and started climbing again. In many ways, that mirrors how people respond to setbacks.

Consider the homeowners whose houses flood repeatedly. Time after time, they rent dumpsters, remove damaged belongings, clean up the mess, and rebuild. Businesses do the same, pushing inches of water out the door and setting up large fans to dry their buildings. I have witnessed this happen several times, and each time, once the sun returns, people get back to work. I'm not sure I would have the confidence to start over after losing so much.

Flooded basements require enormous effort to restore. We have been fortunate to avoid that problem so far, but it could happen at any time. We have also seen roads wash out, isolating families for days, and bridges collapse under floodwaters. Yet as soon as conditions improve, repairs begin. Like the spider, people keep climbing.

Compared to many others, we suffered only minor damage from the last severe storm. A large tree fell onto our empty lot, but my husband, Guy, was most upset about the cantaloupe patch it crushed.

Adair Co. Schools: Start date moved to Aug 24

By Jason C. Faulkner, Superintendent
Adair County Board of Education

Adair County Schools has amended its academic calendar, moving the first day of school for students to Monday, August 24, 2026.

This decision was made after carefully evaluating the final preparations associated with opening the new Adair County Middle School. While construction is substantially complete and significant progress continues to be made, several final items remain in progress. Rather than rushing the transition, district leadership believes it is in the best interest of our students, staff, and families to allow additional time to ensure that all schools are fully prepared for a successful opening.

It has been my goal to open this facility the right way. Although this decision was not made lightly, our priority is to provide a safe and welcoming environment and to ensure our staff are fully prepared to see students on the first day of school.

The additional time will allow district staff to complete final preparations, receive and install remaining materials, conduct comprehensive safety and operational checks, and ensure classrooms are fully ready for instruction.

Families will receive updated information regarding the revised school calendar and any adjustments to student and staff schedules in the coming days. Adair County Schools appreciates the patience, understanding, and continued support of our students, families, employees, and community as we prepare to begin what promises to be an exciting school year in our new middle school.
