Letter: Saving water when handwashing

Peggy Fudge writes:
In healthcare we are taught to leave the water running while washing (unless you are using an automatic on/off faucet.) Turning the faucet on and off recontaminates your hands. If you need to save water while scrubbing, use a clean paper towel to touch the faucet handle. When you've rinsed, use another paper towel to dry your hands and use that towel to shut off the water. IMO, In a setting where there's a lot of handwashing, automatic faucets will pay for themselves eventually. --Peggy

Update on NTI Packets

By Phyllis Curry
March 25, 2020

Adair County students, parents and guardians,

Thank you so much for the cooperation you have shown during these extraordinary times as we do school and education a whole lot differently. We understand some of your challenges, but you are being great partners. In order to meet the deadlines given to the district by the Kentucky Department of Education and to submit documentation of your child's work, we are beginning the collection of the work for the first 14 days of non-traditional instruction (March 16-April 3).

Paper copies of work currently in the possession of all Adair County students will be due April 7, 2020. Completed packets may be given to a person delivering food, beginning Thursday, March 26 or be dropped off at the receptacle located outside the central office at 1204 Greensburg Street, Columbia, KY 42728. This receptacle will be available Monday-Friday from 8:30-3:30 March 26-April 7, 2020.

Please return work in the original packets so your child will get credit for their work. Please do not take packets directly to schools and do not leave packets in the rack after 3:30pmCT on the designated days. The receptacle is not available on weekends.

"We are very blessed and willing to be able to assist in any way to meet the needs of our community and healthcare providers in the wake of COVID-19," Dr. Michele Dickens, interim dean of the School of Nursing and associate professor of nursing at Campbellsville University, said.

In addition to the items donated, Dickens said the School of Nursing also provided a list of volunteer faculty and students who are willing to help should the need arise. Also, several nursing students have registered online to volunteer for an emergency response effort that was shared by the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services Department for Public Health yesterday.

ACSO: Millerfield collision critically injures two

By Sheriff Josh Brockman
Adair County Sheriff's Office

On Tuesday, March 24, 2020, at 11:42amCT, the Adair County Sheriffs Office was dispatched to a head-on collision with possible entrapment on KY 76, 15 miles east of Columbia.

Sheriff Brockman arrived on scene to find that two occupants had been ejected from their vehicles, and one female was pinned underneath a van where it had landed on her after she was ejected from the vehicle.

When Adair County EMS and the Columbia Adair County Fire Department arrived on scene, the Fire Department was able to dig the ditch line out manually with shovels before lifting devices arrived on scene, making it possible to remove the trapped female from underneath the vehicle.

Letter: Hemp toilet paper

Marie Freeman writes:
Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be much toilet paper of any source. United States has now ranked number three in hemp production. However there's been little advancement in using the processed plant.

During World War II the plant was very valuable to the country perhaps that's returning. It is a valuable resource. The use of hemp are endless. As building material known as hempcrete, food for livestock and ourselves. Even plastic can be derived and made from hemp. As well as oil. And it doesn't even have to be refined like crude oil. Henry Ford actually designed his cars to run with hemp oil. He even designed part of the body of the car from hemp. Just do a search Henry Ford hemp car. Hopefully life will return as we know it, and so will the toilet paper. Wishing everybody toilet paper soon :-) --Marie

Letter: concerns over water treatment plant capability

Joyce Coomer writes:

It may have appeared somewhere, but I've not seen anything about the need to conserve water. Yes, Kentucky has had plenty of rain the past few months and the water table is high. I am more concerned with the people who work at water treatment plants. What if they get sick? What is the minimum number of employees needed to efficiently operate water treatment plants?

Not only is water needed for day to day life, but at times like these, it must be kept flowing to our homes and -- very important -- the hospitals. We need to be as aware of water conservation now as we are during times of drought.

I remember singing this little ditty when I was a kid -- "The toe bone's connected to the foot bone, the foot bone's connected to the leg bone . . ." Everything is connected, some way, some how. - JC

Thank you for your questions, Joyce. I've also been concerned about water waste where videos, even on educational television, demonstrate hand washing but they leave the water running for 20 seconds while they lather up, rinse off and towel dry. As much as we've expanded proper hand washing in this season of the Coronavirus, it could amount to a lot of water. I hope everyone who can will turn off the water while lathering their hands, then again after rinsing. - LW
