Gov. urges Kentuckians to take advantage of COVID-19 testing

By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen

Frankfort, KY - On Sunday, Gov. Andy Beshear urged Kentuckians to be ready to fill all available slots as the state undertakes more testing for the novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) than ever before.

"There are still, coming up this week, spots available in our Kroger partnership," the Governor said. "For this week, Ashland and the entire area around Ashland, you have a bunch more spots you can sign up for. We want to fill every one."

Gov. Beshear noted that, despite the Ashland area being hit relatively hard by the coronavirus, there were still hundreds of available slots for testing this week.

"Please take advantage of it," the Governor said. "Local leaders: Please reach out and push people to come and get tested."

Gov. Beshear also highlighted other testing options around the state. Information about all coronavirus testing options is available at kycovid19.ky.gov.

May 5, 1978 Around Adair with Ed Waggener

The article below was first published on May 5, 1978. It didn't actually run as an Around Adair then, but we're designating it one for the digital age, for the very scientific reason that a photocopied version was preserved in a box of Around Adair articles, and it seems to fit. Plus, the Depression-era recipes may prove handy in 2020. In addition to the great write-up on Mr. Giles, there's a recounting of a meal in Spout Springs with cousin Henry and Janice. --Pen

Johnny Giles loves to pick poke. From early May to the end of the month, Giles hits the poke patches and picks it by the bushel.

In the four week period, he will pick about $600 worth of the stuff, some 150 bushels at $4 per bushel on the Cincinnati produce market.

He sells the stuff in three trips to the Queen City. They know Johnny Giles up there and they know he picks good poke.

You can sell anything
Johnny Giles lives in the Knifley area. He's semi-retired from the fruit peddling business, but he has never got produce selling out of his blood.
