ACHS ends best football season in history By Trey Stephens, Columbia Magazine Staff Writer The Adair County Indians went on the road Friday night to face the Braves of Union County in the second round of the Class 3A 2024 UK HealthCare Sports Medicine Football Finals and fell 17-6 in a game that was marked by poor offensive production. The Indians struggled to move the ball on the ground, with just 26 rushing yards on 13 attempts. The pass game struggled as well, with frequent drops which compounded to completion on just 10 of 26 pass attempts.

Adair Co. Schools recognized for workplace safety From Janet Creech Lexington, KY - The Destiny Awards are presented annually by KEMI to policyholders best exemplifying KEMI's motto, "Control your own destiny." The awards symbolize what can be accomplished when organizations work together to improve workplace safety. Policyholders earning the KEMI Destiny Award effectively demonstrate to KEMI their ability to manage a formal safety program, provide on-site training and regular safety meetings for employees, and display an ongoing commitment to safety from all levels throughout their organizations. Adair County Schools, a three-time recipient, was selected after meeting a stringent set of criteria set forth by KEMI. According to Administrative Assistant to Superintendent/Human Resource Director Carolee Lloyd, "Safety plays a fundamental role in shaping the culture of the Adair County School District by fostering an environment where students, staff, and the community feel secure and supported. A strong safety culture promotes physical, emotional, and psychological well-being, allowing students to focus on learning and personal development. Lloyd continued, "It includes proactive measures like safety protocols, regular drills, and mental health resources to ensure that the school is prepared for various challenges. When safety is a core value, it encourages trust, respect, and accountability, reinforcing a positive and inclusive educational atmosphere where everyone feels valued and protected."

CAUD asking customers to help identify lead pipes From Ashley Bennett Columbia/Adair Utilities District Many of you have received a card in the mail stating that "Your water service line has been identified as being made of an unknown material," and are wondering what it is all about. By this we are hoping to help you understand a little bit better. Basically, the EPA office is requiring that we collect some type of proof of what type of water line is coming into the home or establishment. A photo would be the best form of proof. If a photo could be taken of the line/pipe that comes into the home and emailed to ashley.bennett@caud.net, that would be much appreciated. If you are unable to send an email, please contact our office at 270-384-2181 for further instructions.

Record number of apprentices active in training programs From Jill Midkiff/Kevin Kinnaird Frankfort, KY - On November 18, 2024, Gov. Andy Beshear announced that a record number of Kentuckians are actively pursuing pathways to good, high-paying jobs across the commonwealth through registered apprenticeship programs. As this week marks the 10th anniversary of National Apprenticeship Week, Gov. Beshear touted statistics from the Kentucky Center for Statistics (KYSTATS) and the Office of Employer and Apprenticeship Services that show Kentucky logged 6,639 active apprentices during federal fiscal year 2023 - a record high for a single year. That number exceeds the previous year's total by 15% and more than doubles the number of active apprentices recorded a decade earlier. "Kentucky's economy is on fire, and the demand for highly skilled workers right now is surpassing anything we could have ever imagined," said Gov. Beshear. "I encourage any Kentuckian who's just starting out or maybe searching for a new career to consider enrolling in a registered apprenticeship program, which allows you to cash a paycheck while learning a marketable new skill."
