Snow can't be ruled out

The National Weather Service in Louisville issued the following Special Weather Statement this morning, Friday, January 14, 2023, for an area that includes Adair and surrounding counties:

"Scattered snow showers are expected through late evening across much of southern Indiana and central Kentucky. Although many locations will see a dusting or less, some narrow swaths of more persistent snow could lead to light accumulations between a half an inch and 1 inch. The most likely locations for the higher totals would be toward the I-75 corridor, but a few localized areas of up to 1 inch snow accumulations can't be ruled out anywhere east of a French Lick, Indiana to Bowling Green, Kentucky line.

Snow showers are expected to begin by the end of the morning commute. Although air and road temperatures should be above freezing, use caution if traveling today in case of minor accumulations due to moderate snowfall rates."

Carol Perkins: Title IX

Previous Column: A Long Winter's Nap

By Carol Perkins

The Metcalfe County High School celebrated fifty years of Title IX recently during Homecoming 2023 and invited former girls' basketball players and coaches to attend. Girls from the first team in 1974 until last year lined the sides of the gym.

What a grand night of celebration and a thrill to see former students. The first girls' basketball coach was Gary Richardson, affectionately referred to by his teams as GL. Beside him was his first assistant coach, Mary Alice Yokley. Both received standing ovations.

The onset of Title IX called for equal rights in all schools for girls and boys without sex-based discrimination. This would mean for every boy sport, there would need to be one for girls. It would be ten years after I graduated from MCHS that the first team was formed. Finally, when the gates opened, athletic girls (and some not so athletic) embraced this chance to play ball, and later softball, tennis, golf, track and field, volleyball, etc.). Until that time, a girl could be a cheerleader, but that was the only "sport" granted her. She could otherwise be a "fan" and cheer for the boys.
