ACSO: Two-vehicle accident on Blue Ridge Circle By Sheriff Josh Brockman Adair County Sheriff's Office On Wednesday, July 22, 2020, The Adair County Sheriff's Office responded to a call of a two-vehicle accident around the 500 block of Blue Ridge Circle Road in Adair County.

The trailer was being pulled by a 2004 GMC pickup, operated by Nathan Dickey, 41, of Columbia. This collision caused Morrison's vehicle to flip and come to a rest on its top. Adair County EMS responded and provided first aid on scene. The Breeding Volunteer Fire Department assisted and provided traffic control.

KHEAA: Students should check KEES accounts for accuracy Frankfort, KY - Kentucky high school students and Class of 2020 graduates should check their Kentucky Educational Excellence Scholarship (KEES) accounts to ensure they accurately reflect rewards for their academic accomplishments. KEES allows students to earn money for college by achieving good grades in high school and for qualifying scores on the ACT or SAT. KEES is administered by the Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority (KHEAA) and is funded by Kentucky Lottery proceeds. "It is important for students to check their KEES accounts each year to make sure they will receive all the awards they have earned when they enter postsecondary education," Governor Andy Beshear said. "KEES awards can help many students reduce the amount of student loans they need for college, particularly when they are coupled with other academic or need-based scholarships." To check their awards, students need to sign into their account on www.kheaa.com. If they don't already have an account, they can set one up.
