ACSO: Holiday traffic enforcement with a twist By Sheriff Josh Brockman Adair County Sheriff's Office Over the past week, patrols have been stepped up, with deputies focusing on aggressive driving, impaired driving, and seatbelt usage for the busy week before Independence Day. The Adair County Sheriff's Office also teamed up with TJ Health Columbia as they sponsored a community project. Drivers that were stopped for seatbelt violations were asked to buckle up and be safe, and then were met with a 50 dollar gift card for gas instead of a citation. We are thankful that Mr. Randy Burns with the T.J. Community Mission Foundation reached out to us to help with this project. With soaring gas prices the cards came in quite handy, and getting drivers to buckle up was even better. TJ Health sponsored $1,000 worth of gift cards. 2022-07-08 15:32:38 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Police and Fire Reports

Carol Perkins: The Front Room Previous Column: Father's Day By Carol Perkins In the 1940s and 1950s (and before), the "front room" of a house was for daily living and the parlor was for company. That's what I remember about my grandmother's house. The parlor was for the preacher, relatives who had not visited in years, and for special occasions. The parlor seemed so distant from the rest of the house because it was not connected to any other room. How spooky it was! The front room, as we called it, was overflowing with furniture. Add the wood stove sat very close to the middle of the room, and it is a wonder if anyone could have survived when the fire was roaring. There was a "big" bed in one corner and a twin bed in the other, plus a chest for the TV, a couch, and an easy chair (recliner). A dresser against one wall finished the decor. I can hear the antique shelf clock ticking during the night when I grew homesick in the feather bed.

Kentucky Grown Cut Flower Month celebrated in July From Kirk Hilbrecht Frankfort, KY - Fresh flowers can brighten up any summer day by bringing a little bit of the outside, inside.
