Electric vehicle update: Fast charger open in Campbellsville By Tom Waggener A DC fast charging station for electric vehicles is now available at Don Franklin Chevrolet, 915 Meader St, Campbellsville, KY, with an EV Connect charging station in their back parking lot. It has two CCS chargers compatible with most non-Tesla EVs. (Teslas can use the charger if they have the required adapter.) Charging does require the EV Connect app on a smart phone, and payment may be made via Google Pay, Paypal or credit card. Aside from downloading the app, hook up and charging was pretty seamless on a recent visit, and my max charge rate was 75kwh. A full top off would take 40 minutes to over an hour depending on vehicle and battery size, but a quick top up could see 40-80 miles of range in under 20 minutes depending on the vehicle. This is a great addition for the southern Kentucky lakes region's charging infrastructure, as the next nearest fast charging location is in Bowling Green. Level 2 charging (typically 15-40 mile an hour recharge rate) continues to grow throughout the state of Kentucky, with new level 2 stations at Don Franklin Ford Columbia, the Lebanon Farmers Market and most state parks. A map of available charging stations nationwide is easily accessible through PlugShare. 2023-07-27 12:30:12 | Comments | Printable version

Genealogy Class was a Success By Mike Watson The recent Saturday Session at the Adair Genealogy & History Research Center presented by the Research Center and the Adair County Genealogical Society seems to have been a great success! From noon until 2 p.m.--actually almost 3:30--on July 22, 2023, a total of 29 participants from all over the area, and Illinois, and, by transplant, from Washington state, attended this beginning genealogy class. Mike Watson and Phil Hanna presented materials and techniques of various types for all levels of experience. Handouts were available on many topics including: vital statistics--births, deaths, marriages; land records; on-line databases that facilitate family tree building; Find-A-Grave; local, regional and national newspaper searching; best practices in documentation and organizations of searches and what to do with that information when it is located. We certainly did not have enough time in the day to be as thorough as we wanted or needed to be. So, a second session will be offered on Saturday, September 22, 2023 at the same location and times.

Opinion: Payroll Tax By Mary Bardin I travel most of Adair county on weekly basis. I was taught by my brother, Bob Marshall, to stop in at the country stores. He said to make your presence known because you never know what you will see or hear. Also you never know when you may need help. I do visit country stores. The payroll tax is often a subject of conversation. From what I hear, most people were in favor of .75 because of the financial status of Adair County. There are some, of course that are against the thought of payroll tax. Some of these people are not employed and really wouldn't impact them.
