Letter: Adair Schools enrollment question Billy Joe Fudge writes: Where does the total number of students fit, historically speaking? Are the numbers increasing, decreasing or remaining relatively static? --BJFThanks for writing. We got the following information from Robbie Harmon, Dean of Students/Director of Pupil Personnel at Adair County Schools. It looks like enrollment has been fairly stable over the last 7 years, with a peak occurring in the 2014-2015 school year.
We've asked him about recent previous decades for comparison, and we'll update if the information can be tracked down. We did find in an old issue of the Adair County News that enrollment in the 1960's was as much as 2,998 when Wallace Coomer was Superintendent (1966).

Matt Bevin today recognized the sacrifice of a Kentucky sailor who died in World War II, but whose remains have just been positively identified.

On Dec. 7, 1941, Steely was assigned to the battleship USS Oklahoma, which was moored at Ford Island, Pearl Harbor, when the ship was attacked by Japanese aircraft.

Letter: Find and use a trash can J. writes: AMEN! It's not only the IGA parking lot. Have a look across the road too. However, sadly I do see too many yards that look like this and worse. I also see many toss their trash out their vehicle windows driving down the road! Pretty sad when I have a child in my car who gets angry when we see this and has more respect for personal and public property than many adults!! The cycle will continue too as those adults are teaching their young to not have any respect for their own or others property either. It's just sheer laziness and lack of morals that those doing this can't find and use a trash can. Or at least leave it in their own vehicles until they do. --J.
