Carol Perkins: On the Road Again Previous Column: Trying to leave By Carol Perkins Six ladies flew from Louisville, went on a cruise out of Port Canaveral, and returned to the Orlando airport eight days later for a flight home. We arrived early only to learn our 2 PM flight had been delayed two hours. We groaned, but what could we do? Some read, some slept sitting up, and some talked to fellow sufferers. A later update announced another two-hour flight delay. I had been in this situation before and feared the worst. The worst happened. The airline canceled our flight.

Thanks from Coach Breeze By Coach Deron Breeze ACHS Head Boys' Basketball Coach Adair County fans, community, and family...thank you again for your support at the 5th Region tournament. I am so honored to lead a team and community with such passion and fight. Once again, this championship is yours. We do it for you! Some other area schools did their best to self-anoint themselves as the new champion of the 5th region. In the end, three things stood true. We are the champs of this region, and the road to Rupp in the 5th Region runs through Cane Valley, Knifley, Casey Creek, Coburg, Breeding, Columbia and all of Adair County. Lastly, you better be careful when you mess around and pick a fight with an Indian! See you at Rupp and ROLL TRIBE! 2025-03-20 07:57:40 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Sports Birthdays and Anniversaries for March 20 Happy Birthday, Jane Akin Keltner | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Jane Reed | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Jeff Thomas | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Lila Jo Upchurch (2009) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Richard Dean Bledsoe | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Stanley Rich (1925) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Vickie Johnson | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Roger Abell, Liberty, KY (1949-2019) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Kristi Dabney Peterson, Campbellsville, KY (1965-2019) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Evelyn Faye Henderson Wright, Greensburg, KY (1929-2019) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Jo Ann Fair, Casey Co., KY (1961-2019) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Rev.
