Washington, DC - On May 12, 2026, Congressman James Comer (R-Ky.) proudly announces Elyda Hicks of Metcalfe County High School as the winner of the 2026 Congressional Art Competition for Kentucky's 1st Congressional District. Her drawing, titled "The Great Comforter," will be displayed in the U.S. Capitol alongside other artists from across the United States.

"The incredible creativity, talent, and hard work of high school artists from across Kentucky's 1st Congressional District were on full display in this year's competition. With more than 50 original pieces submitted by students from high schools across the district, selecting this year's top artwork was more difficult than ever.

Thoughts around Independence Day events

The quote below comes from one who said the average age of the world's greatest civilizations has been 200 years. We're preparing to celebrate 250 years in July. How are we doing?
"Nations have progressed through this sequence:
- From bondage to spiritual faith;
- From spiritual faith to great courage;
- From courage to liberty;
- From liberty to abundance;
- From abundance to selfishness;
- From selfishness to apathy;
- From apathy to dependence;
- From dependence back into bondage."
Alexander Fraser Tytler, advocate, judge, writer, and historian

Conover served at scene of deadly UPS crash

By Katelynn M. Molesky / The Adair Progress

On November 4, 2025, an unexpected tragedy unfolded that left many in shock: A cargo plane, UPS Airlines Flight 2976, departing from Louisville's Muhammad Ali International Airport to Honolulu, crashed due to a catastrophic failure during takeoff. The devastating incident claimed the lives of 15 people, caused extensive destruction, and left a profound and lasting impact on those involved.

Just minutes after the crash, a team of courageous first responders raced to the scene, battling flames and doing everything they could to aid victims. One such individual was Columbian John Conover, who has dedicated just over two decades to Louisville Metro EMS.

Conover, here well known as drummer of Green River Band, was one of the first to respond to the disaster. For him, it all began during the last hours of his shift when he was interrupted from his paperwork by a phone call requesting a mass casualty bus. Confused, he asked for more information, thus learning about the crash.

Adair Co. FFA Land Judging & Homesite Team at Nationals

From Gabby Barnes
Agriculture Educator, FFA Advisor

The Adair County FFA Land Judging & Homesite Team had an Excellent Time at Nationals! On Monday, May 4, 2026, the Adair County FFA began their journey to compete in the National FFA Land Judging & Homesite Evaluation contest in El Reno, Oklahoma. The team qualified to compete in the homesite division of the contest based on their outstanding achievements at the state level. Team members were Ethan Wooten, Addie Baker, Isabella Harvey, and Katie Kean.

All team members performed well. Adair County was the 3rd-highest-ranked team from the state of Kentucky in the homesite division.

The national contest is much different from what the team is used to here in the bluegrass state. Students are expected to evaluate four unique sites, complete with soil pits and slope markers, to assess an area for aspects of home construction. They must determine how the soil qualities could affect future foundations, septic systems, lawns and even sewage lagoons, which were a brand-new concept to the Adair county students. This contest does an excellent job of preparing students to be future home buyers that know how to predict issues before investing in a home. In addition to that, students learn how to read a landscape and prepare for life far beyond the classroom. They are gaining skills related to soil conservation that will benefit them in multiple career pathways.

While preparing for and participating in the contest, we made room in the schedule to visit historic sites along the way. Students were able to visit the Oklahoma City Bombing Memorial, Stockyard City, and Express Ranch in Oklahoma. On the way home, we made time to stop by Big Springs, Missouri and even spent a night in historic Branson, Missouri before returning home from a week of hard work and competition.

The success of this team would not be possible without the many supporters of Adair County FFA. The students would like to thank the many farmers and agriculturalists that allowed them to practice on their land or provided soil cores to study.

Carol Perkins: The Oldest

Previous Column: Don't These People Work?

By Carol Perkins

Some days I wake up "blue," and some days I wake up with the sunshine on my shoulders when the sun hasn't come up. I'm finding out that others have that same story.

On those "blue" days, I feel sad before my feet hit the floor. When Guy asks me why, I can't answer him. "It's just a feeling." One example that happened this week was on the day of my oldest grandson's birthday. Luke turned twenty-three. I'll explain.

A return to Windmill Farms

Photographer Robert Ellis spent an afternoon earlier this month checking out all the new arrivals at Stacie Bennett's Windmill Farms.

Robert writes, "It was a number of years ago, when I happened around this corner for the first time and my eyes were introduced to the Bennett place and the mind-boggling collection of antiques Stacie had on display. I've been back numerous times; always fun (and a challenge) to do photography. So much stuff it's hard to focus on just one thing!"
