Water slowed school construction a bit 2012-09-08 - Adair County School District Campus, Columbia, KY - Photo by Terry Loy. One wing of the new elementary school on the Adair County School District is rising out of the ground, but, as this photo taken Thursday, September 6, 2012, by Mr. Terry Loy, site foreman/superintendent for Branscum Construction shows, construction was slowed a bit by the otherwise badly needed rains. A lot of the day Thursday was spent pumping water from the site, but by Friday things were moving along better, Mr. Loy said. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Driftwood Artistic: Beauty along the shores of Green River Lake 2012-09-08 - Green River Lake, Adair Co., KY - Photo by George Rice. Green River Lake has it, for Beauty - While enjoying the beauty of upper Green River Lake on a lazy summer afternoon cruise this (you name it) caught my eye. There is so much beauty to see from the waters of Green River Lake. I have cruised most of Lake Cumberland and also Barren River lakes but Green River has far more beauty and also much history to observe from the water tours. - George Rice Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

Spirit of innovation, invention alive and well in Adair Co., KY 2012-09-07 - 336 Gen. John Adair Drive, Columbia, KY - Photo by Shamarie Claiborne. Six year old Jetson Grant took matters into his own hands when he needed a drum like his brother, Joshua Grant, was playing. Jetson took the headrest off his mother's, Denise Grant's van and used it for a drum, and played very well, thank you. The drumsticks were commandeered from his brother, who wasn't needing them at the time. Joshua Grant is in the Adair County Marching Band bassline which also includes Dusty Claiborne, Chad Scholl and Harrison Knifley. Jetson is the son of Denise Grant and Andy Grant and the grandson of Joe and Annabelle Pyles, and Beth and Richard Grant. Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.
