Carol Perkins: Harvey and Me

Previous Column: Vehicles and Mowing the Yard | Ticket info for Harvey at end of article

By Carol Perkins

Like so many occasions, I jumped right in and then later thought, "What have I done?"

When I auditioned for the role of Veta Louise in the award-winning play (movie starring Jimmy Stewart), I didn't consider the time, talent, and dedication that this part would entail. I should have.

I had played this part years ago when Barnlot performed it with Richard Duncan as Elwood Dowd, the man whose best friend was a six-foot rabbit. My only certainty was a renewed desire for acting; this character was "right up my alley."

Veta is a wonderfully peculiar woman who has returned home to live with her eccentric brother, Elwood P. Dowd, played by Wesley Waddle, a familiar face at Barnlot. The role appealed to me because Veta feels like a blend of Carol Burnett's comic flair and my own personality.

My age never crossed my mind. Never once did I consider the physical stamina my character endures. Fearlessly, I signed up and we began to practice and practice and more practice.

Thankful for a harvest

By Veronica Arnold

As many farmers feel the pinch and squeeze of costs, there is also the anxiety while the harvest is on the ground waiting to be brought in. When it finally is in the barn, there is a joy and thankfulness that fills our hearts.

As Farmers, we know God sends the rain and sunshine. We pray for good weather and offer prayers of thanksgiving during harvest. It is a beautiful sight to see. I am sure many readers can smell the picture of the hay in windrows.

In Fairplay,
Springhead Farm

Kentucky Color: Golden Raintree

By Billy Joe Fudge

Sometimes referred to as the Chinese Lantern Tree, the Golden Raintree, is a great urban landscape tree. It is tolerant of heat and urban pollutants and at best only gets 30 to 40 feet tall.

It has huge, beautiful, golden clusters of flowers in early Summer and develops showy clusters of paper-lantern-like seed pods that can be quite attractive in summer urban landscapes.

However, as you might imagine, they can be quite messy with the falling seed pods. They are considered an invasive and will scatter into surrounding landscapes. But remember, there are drawbacks to all plants in urban landscapes and they require a little care and management to add value, beauty and comfort to your home and community.

Tommy Druen: The cabbages were never the point

Previous Column: Determination changes everything

By Tommy Druen

History tends to remember leaders for the battles they fought or the territories they conquered. We think of Napoleon, Alexander the Great, Genghis Khan. But the Roman Emperor Diocletian is remembered for something far more unusual.

When he became emperor in 284 AD, the empire was teetering on collapse. Decades of political instability and economic decline had left Rome vulnerable to forces both internal and external. Over the next twenty years, Diocletian imposed reforms that restored order and fundamentally reshaped the empire. By any measure, he had become the most powerful man in the known world.

Then, at the age of 62, he did the unthinkable. He voluntarily walked away from it all.

Opinion: Food Is Medicine initiative changing lives

By Commissioner Jonathan Shell and Melanie Landrum

Frankfort, KY - Kentucky faces a chronic disease crisis. More than 40 percent of our adults live with at least one chronic illness such as diabetes, heart disease, hypertension, and obesity. Together, these diseases cost our state more than $29.4 billion in health care spending annually.

These challenges affect not only individual patients, but also entire communities where access to healthy, nutritious meals is often limited. This is why Kentucky's growing Food Is Medicine initiative matters.

Earlier this year, Kentucky became the first "Food Is Medicine" state in the nation following passage of Senate Joint Resolution 23. The initiative, led by the Kentucky Hospital Association and the Kentucky Department of Agriculture, is helping connect patients with healthier foods while also supporting Kentucky farmers, strengthening local food systems, and improving long-term health outcomes.

The concept is straightforward: healthier food can help improve health outcomes, prevent chronic disease, and support recovery. But its impact extends well beyond hospital walls. Food Is Medicine programs create opportunities to support local agriculture, expand markets for Kentucky farmers, and keep more food dollars circulating within local communities.

Adair County Fiscal Court July 2026 report

By Mig Feuser / The Adair Progress

At its regular meeting Tuesday evening, the Adair County Fiscal Court handled a lengthy agenda that ranged from routine financial business to road funding and personnel matters, but the discussion was dominated by two issues: the continuing backlog of fiscal court minutes and the hiring of a new part-time 911 dispatcher.

The court approved routine business, including departmental reports, the treasurer's monthly and quarterly reports, budget transfers and the first reading of a budget amendment before turning to a series of action items that generated extended discussion.

ACSO: Two-vehicle collision investigated on Hwy 55S

From Sheriff Gary Roy
Adair County Sheriff's Office

On Thursday, July 30, 2026, at approximately 6:20 a.m., deputies with the Adair County Sheriff's Office responded to the 4000 block of Highway 55 South in reference to a two-vehicle collision.

The preliminary investigation determined that Dustin McGuffin, who was traveling southbound on Highway 55 South, crossed the centerline into the northbound lane of travel. Shawbtae Giftee, of Indiana, was traveling northbound toward Columbia when she observed McGuffin's vehicle in her lane. Ms. Giftee sounded her horn multiple times, reduced her speed, and attempted to move into the southbound lane in an effort to avoid a collision. Mr. McGuffin then overcorrected, and the vehicles collided.
