Duke and Hazzard grazing


2026-08-02 - Adair Co., KY - Photo by Pam Capozziello.
Pam writes, "Duke and Hazzard grazing in our back yard... was all fine until they got into some weeds not good for donkeys to eat. Now they stay in their own pasture safe from weeds of all kinds. It's good to know your weeds before setting farm animals free to roam. I did discover their love for graham crackers. Beats eating poisonous weeds by a longshot!"

Letter: A lovely walk down memory lane

Narda Tate writes:
Tommy Druen wrote absolute truth in his article. We each have our own path and no one else should ever feel compelled to walk the same way. Great article!

As a side note, my husband and I lived and worked in post-war Bosnia, often traveling to Split, Croatia, the home of Diocletian's palace. We have walked through it - at least, what remains of it, and marveled at the steps that are worn down in the center from thousands upon thousands of feet using them. The beauty of the country is amazing and history is just around every corner.

And if you ever are fortunate enough to visit this beautiful land, you too can testify that the cabbages and Brussels Sprouts are amazingly sweet and tasty. If you order a hamburger at a restaurant, you get shredded cabbage instead of lettuce on it. But that's OK. The cabbage is just that good.

Thanks, Mr. Druen. You gave everyone a lot to ponder and I had a lovely walk down memory lane.

KSP: Trooper plays pivotal role in rescue of injured bald eagle

From Trooper Corey Jones

London, KY - A Kentucky State Police (KSP) Trooper played a pivotal role in the rescue of a bald eagle. On June 30, 2026, the Kentucky State Police Post 11 London received a call about a juvenile bald eagle that was in distress and unable to fly near Collins Ln. in Corbin, KY. Trooper Trey Lovins responded, located the animal, and was able to capture the bald eagle.

After being able to effectively capture the animal, KSP Post 11 made contact with Lake Cumberland Wildlife Refuge Liberty Nature Center, out of Somerset, KY, who specialized in rehabilitating raptors and birds of prey. Trooper Lovins transported the bald eagle to the nature center and released it into their care.

Lake Cumberland Wildlife Refuge cared for the eagle, was able to rehab him, and on July 31, 2026, they were able to release him back to the wild. The young eagle was named "Trooper" in honor of the role that Trooper Lovins played in his rescue. KSP Troopers, along with Lake Cumberland Refuge employees and volunteers, were present at "Trooper's" release on Laurel Lake near the Holly Bay beach.

TJ Health Columbia celebrates 10 years service

By Mig Feuser / The Adair Progress

Employees, community leaders and guests gathered last week to celebrate a milestone that many in Adair County once feared might never come. T.J. Health Columbia marked its 10th anniversary with an open house and community celebration, recognizing a decade of expanding healthcare services while reflecting on the hospital's remarkable transformation since joining the T.J. Regional Health system in 2016.

For many of those attending, the anniversary was more than a birthday celebration. It was a reminder of how much healthcare in Columbia has changed over the past decade.

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.

Deer are plentiful this year


2026-08-01 - Central Kentucky - Photo by Pen.
I've been seeing deer on nearly every drive lately, and most walks too. I rounded a bend in a grassy trail last week to find these three deer grazing. Momma stomped her foot to let me know she was in charge, and I left them to feed after taking a quick photo.

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.

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.

Governor announces $1.7M for Green River Commerce Park

From Scottie Ellis/Brandon Mattingly

Frankfort, KY - On July 30, 2026, Gov. Andy Beshear announced further investment in the state's site and building development efforts as more than $5.2 million was approved to support future investment and job creation in Adair, Ballard, Clinton, Floyd, Madison, Magoffin, Monroe and Montgomery counties through the Kentucky Product Development Initiative (KPDI).

"Team Kentucky is continuing to invest in site and building development to lay the groundwork for continued economic momentum and future job opportunities," said Gov. Beshear. "Congratulations to these eight communities. I am excited to see how you will use these investments to create a brighter future for our people."

The Adair County Fiscal Court, on behalf of the Columbia-Adair County Economic Development Authority, is planning to construct a 40,000-square-foot speculative building within its Green River Commerce Park. The project was approved for nearly $1.7 million in state support.
