Gov. Beshear provides update on COVID-19

By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen

Frankfort, KY - On Friday, Gov. Andy Beshear announced the number of tests completed for the novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) at five different sites this week and encouraged Kentuckians to fill up all available appointments throughout the commonwealth.

Gov. Beshear said, "Let me mention, especially yesterday we're having no-shows at some of our Kroger locations. It is really important that we use every one of these tests. So if you sign up, please make sure you go and get tested."

At many of the sites, anyone can now sign up for the free COVID-19 testing. A few sites still have qualifying criteria for getting tested. For the latest information on drive-through testing, visit kycovid19.ky.gov.

"We're going to get through this together because we're going to be strong, because we're going to be resilient," said Gov. Beshear.

There will be no Kentucky Derby today

By Mike Watson

Kentucky has been the center of the universe on the first Saturday in May for decades more than a century. Rarely has the 'most exciting two minutes in sports' been delayed or canceled. Not since 1945 have we experienced this no-horse first Saturday.

Well, in keeping with the horse racing spirit, here are a few items on the importance of the 'sport of kings' from right here in Adair County. Our ancestors loved their horses and, of course, the horse and mule made the world go round. Travel was by horse power alone for so long. Adair County has been known as a center of horse breeding since the earliest settlers.

The Kentucky Gazette, premier newspaper from the earliest days of the Commonwealth, published at Lexington, often spent at least twenty-five percent of the column inches of any given issue to horse sales, horse races, lost horses, stolen horses, and stray horses found.

In the issue of 12 May 1825, and several subsequent issues, a large advertisement appeared concerning Adair County and the Race Course here:
