Share the Road during National Pedestrian Safety Month From Marla Marrs/Naitore Djigbenou Frankfort, KY - October is National Pedestrian Safety Month, and Team Kentucky is reminding all travelers to stay alert and practice safe habits as they share the road. "Staying safe on the road is a shared responsibility," said Gov. Andy Beshear. "Kentuckians can help save lives by looking out for one another. When traveling, please give yourself time, stay focused, and make safety the priority." Safe walking and driving habits are especially important at night, which comes earlier through the fall and winter months. Last year in Kentucky, 76% of the 89 pedestrian deaths occurred after dark. So far this year, there have been 57 pedestrian deaths, 40 of which occurred after dark.

Silent City Tour is Monday, October 12 From Mike Watson The Annual Silent City tour of the Columbia Cemetery--the 20th anniversary--is scheduled for 5pmCT on Monday, October 12, 2026. We have a great lineup for this Tour with the following individuals portraying interesting residents of the cemetery. The presenters at the six stops on this amazing tour will be:
The first Silent City Tour was organized by the Adair County Genealogical Society with assistance of the Adair County Public Library in 2007, and we have not missed a single year--including during the pandemic era. There is no charge for any of our tours--the public is always encouraged to attend. We ask that guests park at the Adair County Public Library parking lot [307 Greensburg Street], or along the route to the cemetery. We traditionally meet, sign in, then stroll as a group to the beginning point of the Tour. For those with mobility issues, park at the Justice Center parking lot or the Farmer's Market lot and walk up to the Old Section of the cemetery with those who walk from the library. The Tour usually lasts about an hour. We then invite everyone to return back to the Research Center from whence the procession began and enjoy refreshments and take an opportunity to converse with the presenters. For more information, call 270-380-1024. 2026-10-11 20:03:00 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Mike Watson - History
