Retired teachers say thanks for generosity 2022-10-11 - Adair County, KY - Photo by Mayor Pam Hoots. Each year the retired teachers have a booth during Friday and Saturday of Downtown Days.

Max Wise; LWC football tickets set of four for rest of their season, thank you LWC Athletics; set of two season passes for Adair County High basketball, thank you Craig Biggs. The money is used each year to provide a $500 scholarship for an Adair County LWC Junior majoring in the Education (teaching) field.

Henry ready for new home where he can run and play 2022-10-11 - Adair County, KY - Photo by Nicole Ruthven. Columbia, KY: We rescued Henry after we found him skinny and wandering. He's a three-year old beagle/hound mix who is neutered and rabies vaccinated. He is a great watch dog who barks at trucks and strangers and would love to be your trail buddy. He chases cats and chickens, which is why we are looking for a new home for him. Would love to be able to run and play. Contact Nicole at 931-505-1185.

Phillip Coffey - In the Midst 2022-10-11 . IN THE MIDST (To Mom) Seeing a lone rose in the distance, moistening, soothing the manic In the raging storm. Removing the top hat before entering, paying tribute to a close friend. Tossing the outer garment to those feeling no warmth in the chill In the midst of the grieving. While every day much ado is made about the insignificant - all seems lost. Others taking a stand for the freedoms of so many-sacrificial loss a - plenty. Over there are the simple smiles, chuckles of the innocence of children. Walking through all, protected by family members - breaking their fall. Tired and weathered still laughing, rejoicing though left with no family In her generation. Grip each day ever so gently, never tightly - releasing the joy of living to all.
