Adair Co. Academic Team Results from Governor's Cup State

Adair County Academic Teams were in competition at the State Championships over the weekend of March 17-20, 2023. The Future Problem Solving team from Adair County Middle School took 7th place overall in the State, competing on the topic of A Throwaway Society. The ACMS FPS team consisted of Hannah Kotter, Natalea Kaylor, Sarah Goforth, and Suzy Kotter. In addition, Christopher Armenti accomplished the colossal task of ranking among the state's best individual competitors by capturing 8th overall in the State in the Social Studies competition. For perspective on the level of team and individual achievement at this event, the first rounds of competition at the District phase kick-starts Governor's Cup with well over 1000 competitors statewide.

The FPS team was also represented in the Alternates competition, pairing up with other individuals from qualifying teams across the state to compete on the same topic as the team competition. ACMS student Riley Andrew and her team earned 3rd Place in the division.

Carol Perkins: Sticky Mess

Previous Column: I'm Finished

By Carol Perkins

Rarely do I find fudge bars with only 100 calories, so when I did, I popped a box in my cart. I should have waited closer to check out, but I didn't plan to browse through every piece of fabric in the store. By the time I loaded my groceries, I noticed my box of fudge sickles was soft. Nothing to do but put the box in the front seat and eat at least one of them on the way home. Surely, I could salvage the rest.

I pulled back the wrapper before leaving the parking lot and the wooden ladle pulled away from the ice cream. I used it as a spoon and devoured it. By then, my hands were a little sticky. On the way down the parkway, I pulled out another, which was so soft I knew I couldn't hold it by its stick, so I ate it straight off the paper. Another mess. By the time I exited, I had eaten all four of them and had ice cream on the seat and the steering wheel. I forgot to mention I was in Guy's car.

Gov. Beshear takes step to stop sale of tianeptine

From Crystal Staley/Scottie Ellis

Frankfort, KY - On March 23, 2023, Gov. Andy Beshear signed an emergency regulation classifying all products containing tianeptine, an unregulated drug known as "gas station heroin" that produces opioid-like effects, as a Schedule I controlled substance.

Tianeptine, which is available online and in convenience stores and gas stations, has no known medical use. It has been linked to serious harm, overdoses and death according to the Federal Drug Administration (FDA). The drug is approved for use in other parts of the world, where it is marketed as Coaxil or Stablon. In the United States, tianeptine is known as ZaZa, Tianna, TD Red and Pegasus.

Side effects from abusing or misusing tianeptine by itself or with other drugs, like antidepressants or anti-anxiety medications, include agitation, drowsiness, confusion, sweating, rapid heartbeat, high blood pressure, nausea, vomiting, slowed or stopped breathing, coma and death.

Letter: On finding a child's gift through the arts

"...making art is really just solving 1,000 tiny problems..." - LS

By Lyn Stanton, Director, Homeplace on Green River

Thank you for initiating this conversation in the community. I fully share your belief in the infusion of the arts into a child's development. I could wax poetic for pages (and have) about not only the enrichment created through the expression and exploration of emotions through development, but also of developing the senses, bodily coordination, planning and problem-solving, critical thinking, the ability to accept criticism and to work in a feedback loop, and on and on.

When I taught art, I told kids that making art is really just solving 1,000 tiny problems, where only they know the right answer. Exposure to the arts is nothing short of a necessity for a child's education and development as a human being. So, that said, I have some rambling ideas/thoughts for folks to consider.
