Non-Traditional Instruction resumes April 13, 2020 By Phyllis Curry Adair County students will return to non-traditional instruction Monday, April 13 and continue through Friday, May 1, or until Governor Beshear and Commissioner of Education Kevin Brown make a decision on the remainder of the 2019-20 school year. The first phase of NTI was for 14 days. The district was able to collect 94% of the completed student packets for those 14 days, ensuring those days will count as instructional days and will not have to be made up at the end of the year. The second phase will look a bit different, but will still require students to complete all assignments in either a digital or paper format. All Adair County Primary Center students will have a paper packet. Those packets may be picked up Monday, April 13, 2020 at the school between 9amCT and 3pmCT. All students in the district will receive work for core subjects (reading/English, math, science, social studies) on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and all other related subjects on Tuesday and Thursday. Students at ACES, ACMS and ACHS have the choice of doing online classes or paper packets. All online classes will be available at 9amCT Monday morning. School websites will have instructions on how to access the digital content. Paper packets may be picked up at all schools from 9amCT to 3pmCT on Monday, April 13. Students do not need to complete both. The choice depends on personal preference and available technology. The biggest difference in the 15 days of NTI from April 13-May 1 is that work must now be documented daily by teachers and weekly reports made that show completion rates.

Letter: Pen's photos and Linda's stories Mary Knight writes: Linda--When I turn on my computer, I go to News from Columbia first. And you NEVER disappoint. Pen's food shots are always appreciated, but his family shots take the cake. Hailey in the tree, and her dog waiting, is a winner anywhere.Comments re: Waiting Patiently Mary, thank YOU!! It's just awesome when we can share and connect and know when it happens - your letter is deeply appreciated. As to the name for Moose, that innocent looking puppy, I will yield to Pen and Amy and Graham and Evan and Hailey to say exactly why they chose it for him. My thoughts would be that it may be because he is like a moose in a china shop - he can 'innocently' wreak havoc within the confines of their home just by being his puppy self. 2020-04-12 15:12:02 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback

April 12th Easter By JIM In the past sixscore years (1900 - 2020), Easter Sunday has fallen on April 12th five times, more often than on any other date. Curiously, however, four of the five instances were 1936 and earlier; the only time since was 1998. Easter won't fall on April 12 again until 2150. 2020-04-12 14:43:38 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Jim: History

May 1978 Around Adair by Ed Waggener The article below first appeared in one of the May 1978 issues of the Daily Statesman. Topics included Founder's Day, Woozles, a Tennessee Sheriff's campaign, and memories of the Mark Twain Festival. --Pen By Ed Waggener The world's largest traffic jam? Thursday, May 4, 1978, may have seen the world's largest traffic jam. For sure, it was the largest crowd seen in Columbia, ever, by those with whom I talked. The jam was alleviated some time late in the day when the police started directing traffic. I thought at first that the jam was caused by visitors to Columbia for Founder's Day at Lindsey Wilson. That did contribute to the congestion, but it later occurred to me that it was check day at the banks. Most of the government checks arrive around the third day of each month. Wednesday, May 3, the banks were closed, which meant that the people receiving government checks had to wait until Thursday. The traffic wasn't all bad. Elaine Bennett, proprietor of a downtown restaurant, reported that Thursday was a record day for her business. The Woozle speaks Editorializing on the "Wagner boards" at local restaurants has become a high art. I have heard individuals threatened by telling them that they would be the target of the next Wagner board message. Moreover, everybody is trying to get into the act. At the Burger Queen, Kenny Dyer, known as "The Woozle," has suggested this message: Death is still the number one killer. This week the Burger Queen Wagner board offered this message, "We honor National Woozle Week." I have since learned that there are more than one woozle. And that there is more than one Woozle.
