Governor: Schools should remain closed to in-person instruction Says move is in-line with health professionals' advice, White House guidance By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen Frankfort, KY - Gov. Andy Beshear on Monday advised the commonwealth's education leaders to keep facilities closed to in-person instruction for the rest of the school year. "Every health care professional has advised us that this is the right course of action to take," the Governor said of the state's continuing efforts to stop the spread of the novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19). Gov. Beshear noted that same advice was being followed in many states, including Ohio, Indiana and Tennessee. He said the move is in line with newly released guidelines from the White House as well as Kentucky's own newly announced benchmarks that the commonwealth must meet in order to start reopening the state's economy while keeping Kentuckians safe from the novel coronavirus.

Community Helping Community By Corey Patterson, Health Environmentalist III Adair County Health Department Adair County has a longstanding reputation of coming together to meet needs within the community. With the growing number of COVID-19 cases in Adair County, we have seen a need arise. You see, when a person tests positive for COVID-19 or are a direct contact of a positive case, they are asked to isolate or self-quarantine so they do not spread the virus to others. While under this quarantine/isolation, many persons are unable to obtain needed food and supplies for themselves or their family. The Adair County Health Department in collaboration with Adair County Judge Executive Gale Cowan, Adair County Emergency Manager Mike Keltner, Adair County Ministerial Association, Columbia Mayor Pam Hoots, 3Trees Church and J.O.Y. Ministries has developed a plan to help those confirmed cases and contacts in need. J.O.Y. Ministries (and other partners as needed) will task themselves with obtaining what is needed for each identified case. The case must meet the criteria of being under direction of isolation or quarantine by the Lake Cumberland District Health Department. How can the community help? The Adair County community can help by donating money to J.O.Y Ministries for the aid of these specific cases. How can a person donate? They can do so by mail (J.O.Y Ministries, P.O. Box 114, Columbia, KY 42728) or via PAYPAL at www.joy-ministries.org (please designate COVID-19 on your donation in notes section). This need exists presently, as we are already fulfilling requests. We want to help those that are staying isolated or quarantined so that the spread of this virus does not happen. 2020-04-20 14:40:53 | Comments | Printable version

By Jenna Rodgers Ever since my 6th grade year I have had a board labeled ‘senior year’ with the following things pinned to it: the perfect prom dress, wildflower bouquet, senior baseball poses, DIY graduation caps, senior prank ideas, senior skip day activities, spirit week outfits, and the perfect gifts for graduation parties.

History Monday: In Times of Need By Mike Watson Our town and county, along with the state and nation, are struggling with the dread virus that strikes the old, infirm, and compromised among our citizenry. We can only take proper precautions and distance ourselves from the possibly infected, and continue to pray for deliverance. There are many, however, who are literally on the front line in this war with disease. In recent weeks we have seen many step up to help provide protections, as much as is possible, from the spread of the corona-virus, by crafting masks to be distributed to those in need. For this, we should all be thankful, for it is to aid each and every one of us, almost certainly in indirect ways; and for some, such as medical workers, clerks, and so many more, it is a direct benefit that may very well save lives. Citizens have always been in the fore-front offering support and material supplies in times of great need. There are many examples including: During the Revolutionary War those who could not fight on the front lines often supplied material for the troops. Farmers and merchants were the greatest among these. Food, forage for horses, manufactured goods, and clothing were the most sought after supplies, in addition to money. Many early settlers of Adair County provided Patriotic Service to the Continental Army and the Cause for Liberty; thus becoming the United States.
