Child Abuse Prevention Month opens with KY Capitol tradition

From Jill Seyfred

Frankfort, KY - Prevent Child Abuse Kentucky (PCAK) marked the start of Child Abuse Prevention Month on March 31, 2026, with its annual Pinwheel Planting Ceremony at the Capitol in Frankfort. Joined by PCAK staff, board members, and community partners, Governor Andy Beshear delivered remarks and launched the Pinwheels for Prevention campaign. Each April, the initiative brings silver and blue pinwheels to communities across the Commonwealth to raise awareness about child abuse and neglect.

Held in the English Garden, the event brought together hundreds of advocates and community leaders for the ceremonial planting. Each blue and silver pinwheel planted, the national symbol for child abuse prevention, represents a commitment to protecting Kentucky's children, supporting families, and ensuring every child has the healthy childhood they deserve.

"This event is critical to raise awareness. There is far too much child abuse in this country, and in this world, and as responsible adults, we all have a duty to stop it," Gov. Andy Beshear said. "Somewhere out there is a child who needs our help, and we need to make sure that people know the warning signs."

Place Names in Adair County: families memorialized

Place Names - How communities got their names By Michael C. Watson
Adair County Genealogical Society

Family names are memorialized in communities throughout Adair County: Absher community and post office for Rev. William Henry Harrison Absher.

The community and existing church were known as Egypt at least in the 1840s and 1850s well before the post office was created.

Bliss was a post office and community in the 1890s. It was named for Professor James L. Bliss--or Mrs. Bliss, nee Nannie Frances Shephard--who operated a school locally in the Turk community.

Breeding community and post office were named for George Breeding, a Revolutionary veteran and ancestor of most of that name in the area.

Letter: Removal needed, not pruning

Billy Joe Fudge writes:
Pruning is not an option for mature trees that are suffering from chronic urban blight. The asphalt covers their roots on one side and looks like a pasture field which means the soil is compacted on the other side. Compacted soils cannot readily absorb rainfall and since there are few spaces in the soil to store the moisture, the tree limbs are dying which means the trees are dying.

So, if it is a county road, I would suggest talking to your magistrate about getting the old and sick trees removed.

Lyme Disease on the rise, especially in spring

Softball: Adair Co. to host Clinton Co. on Tuesday

By Trey Stephens, Staff Writer

The Adair County High School Softball team currently sits at 2-4, coming off a 5-9 loss to Russell County, a 7-2 win over to Metcalfe County, and a 4-10 loss to LaRue County. All of those matches were away for the Lady Indians, who have been wearing out the road over the past week, traveling a combined 177 miles.

In the 7-2 win over the Lady Hornets, starting pitcher Jazalynn Young did three innings of work for the Tribe, giving up just 2 hits and walking one batter while striking out two. The team did give up an unearned run during the period though. Young was relieved by Keylin Bergin, who would close out the game doing four innings of work giving up 3 hits and one earned run while striking out three batters. Bergin also lead the way for the team in hitting, posting three hits in four attempts and scoring one run. Young followed with two hits, Braylee Corbin, Ashley Loy, Callee White, Hayley Parnell, and Allee Campbell would also post a hit each to round out the team's 10.

The Indians will return to the diamond on Tuesday, March 31, 2026, to host the Clinton County Lady Bulldogs (4-3). They host Somerset on Thursday, and hit the road again to face the Hart County Lady Raiders on Friday.

Business filing scam reported by Sec. Michael Adams

Frankfort, KY - Secretary of State Michael Adams is warning business owners to avoid being hustled, as letters notifying them to file their annual reports hit mailboxes across the Commonwealth. Annual reports must be filed between January 1 and June 30 each year and can be submitted online or by mail for $15.

However, some business owners are being charged upwards of $160 in addition to the actual $15 filing fee by unofficial parties sending solicitation letters to file reports on their behalf.
