Daily News for Friday, June 27, 2025
Preparing to register your Street Legal SPV According to the Kentucky Association of Counties, Senate Bill 63, which passed during the 2025 Regular Session, gives counties and cities the authority to adopt an ordinance and allow street-legal special purpose vehicles on highways within their jurisdictional boundaries. The new law takes effect June 27, 2025, although most local authorities are waiting for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet's regulations for implementation of SB 63 before passing local ordinances. Adair County Clerk Lisa Greer says that, "In the meantime, you can be preparing for your Sheriff Inspection by making sure your ATV meets the minimum requirements set by law for registration."

Chicken Math, or, Be responsible for your animals By Miss Donna Rieder Clifty Creek Farm There's a term people use when they find their animal "collection" starting to grow, whether it's one goat having triplet kids, or going to Tractor Supply and coming home with 20 more baby chicks: Goat Math, or, Chicken Math. Or Cat Math, or Dog Math...you get the idea. Unfortunately, Cat or Dog Math is usually multiplication. That's obviously what happened to the people who dumped a dozen or more dogs off near my farm a few weeks ago. The dogs were obviously all related, because they were all colored the same and most had bobbed tails. It seems like a case of one dog not being spayed and then having litter after litter of puppies, until the owners became so overwhelmed that they felt they had no choice but to take them all out to the country and dump them off. But where their problems ended, mine began. While my neighbor and I were able to trap 9 of the dogs, the others became wary of the trap and refused to be caught. That Sunday I came home from church to find one of the dogs in with my chickens, with several killed, several mauled to the point where I had no choice but to kill them, and several more missing. I was heartbroken because I love my chickens and get a lot of joy from just watching them do their thing. I was also devastated because I sell eggs to supplement my income, and that loss hit me where it hurts. So, I learned a new kind of Chicken Math.

Basketball: Indians 3-1 in KABC Bluegrass Shootout By Trey Stephens, Staff Writer The Adair County Indians Boys Varsity Basketball team wrapped up their 2025 summer ball season with a 3-1 run in the KABC Bluegrass Shootout. On Saturday, June 21, 2025 the team defeated Westfield High School out of Ohio 60-44. The team then went on to face Seneca High School later that day and fell to the Redhawks 49-34. On Sunday, the team matched up against Paul Lawrence Dunbar, a team that had a very rough 3-27 season last year. The Indians defeated the Bulldogs of PLD 58-55. The KABC Bluegrass Shootout and the entire summer season came to a close as the Tribe defeated Whitley County 64-59. The Colonels of Whitely County come off a 19-11 season last year and did not graduate any of their top six scorers. All in all, the summer of 2025 was a major growth opportunity for the Indians, a lot has changed since last season, but after this summer there is little doubt in my mind that the 2025-2026 season will be another exciting season for the Tribe! 2025-06-27 10:27:40 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Sports
