Kentucky Republicans will cast their votes for Republican candidates for president at a caucus on Saturday, March 5, approximately two weeks away. The caucus, which is run by the state Republican party and county parties, replaces the usual presidential primary in May. By holding a caucus on March 5, Republican voters in Kentucky will have an earlier impact on the presidential race, at a time when candidates are still competing to win more states and their delegates to secure the presidential nomination. On March 5, Adair County Republican voters will come to caucus at Adair Co. High School anytime between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. to vote for a Republican candidate for president by secret paper ballot. The voting process will be similar to a Kentucky election--voters will show identification, sign in, and vote by secret ballot--but the voting locations are different. Eleven presidential candidates filed to participate in the caucus, all of whom will remain on the ballot. Voters will be notified at caucus locations about which candidates have dropped out of the race. The Republican presidential nomination is the only race that will be voted on at the caucus. Primary elections for local, state and Congressional races will still occur in May. Voters who were registered as Republicans by December 31, 2015, are eligible to vote in the caucus.

LEXINGTON, Ky. -- The Mid-South Conference and The Sun Conference are merging to form the largest football conference in college sports.
Conference officials announced Thursday that beginning with the 2017 season, the Mid-South Conference will include 20 teams which will compete in three divisions. The new, expanded football conference will allow three teams to earn an automatic bid to the NAIA Football Championship Series. “The expansion of the Mid-South Conference provides strength and stability to one of the best NAIA football conferences,” said Willis Pooler, Lindsey Wilson College athletics director. “Commissioner Ward did an outstanding job creating a 3-division structure that allows our institutions to maintain their identity in our regions, while creating an opportunity for our student-athletes to have experiences that will potentially lead to new rivalries. Our football program will undoubtedly benefit from expanded recruiting possibilities as we play games and are seen by high school students in the south. Lindsey Wilson College is excited about the direction of the MSC.” Others, including Dr. Michael Carter, president of Campbellsville University and chair of the Mid-South Conference board of directors, share in Pooler’s excitement. “I could not be more excited about the expansion to create the largest football conference in the country. This opportunity to promote student athletes who are learning how to be Champions of Character and the importance of values based education is important to each school in the Mid-South Conference,” shared Dr. Carter. The new conference will include the Mid-South Conference’s 13 members: Bethel (Tenn.), Bluefield (Va.), Campbellsville (Ky.), Cincinnati Christian (Ohio), Cumberland (Tenn.), Cumberlands (Ky.), Faulkner (Ala.), Georgetown (Ky.), Kentucky Christian, Lindsey Wilson (Ky.), Pikeville (Ky.), Reinhardt (Ga.), and Union (Ky.). They will be joined by six teams from The Sun Conference: Ave Maria (Fla.), Edward Waters (Fla.), Point (Ga.), Southeastern (Fla.), Warner (Fla.) and Webber International (Fla.). St. Andrews (N.C.) is scheduled to begin football in 2017. “This merger strengthens our commitment to our football institutions and their student-athletes,” said Mid-South Conference Commissioner Eric Ward. Ward said the expanded football conference will make it easier for schools to schedule football games, as well as bring together institutions with similar values. “While the driving force behind this venture is to alleviate the difficulty of scheduling, there are a number of other benefits that will be realized by expanding this football conference,” Ward said. “This merger will also increase our football footprint with like-minded schools who share our mission to provide a competitive experience to all student-athletes.” The Sun Conference Commissioner, Mark Pope, echoed Ward’s sentiments in creating the new football conference. “Throughout our discussions, Eric and I realized that our respective member institutions were remarkably similar in values, character and strategic vision with regard to football,” said Pope. “We were impressed with the Mid-South’s focus on football as its core product.” Pope continued, “I see this new merger as the beginning of a remarkable new chapter in college football. Given the tremendous interest in football in the Southeast, I expect that several other institutions will consider adding this sport, now that they know they will have a conference which guarantees a full schedule of games.” Football coaches in the expanded MSC are equally as excited about the 2017 season. “We are already fortunate to be part of one of the top NAIA football conferences in the nation,” said Lindsey Wilson football coach Chris Oliver, chair of the Mid-South Conference football coaches. “This merger will only strengthen and expand the reputation of MSC football.” Founded in 1987, the Mid-South Conference split into East and West football divisions in 2005. The expanded football conference’s divisions will be called the Appalachian, Bluegrass and Sun. Each division will have its own identity, producing a division champion that will earn an automatic bid into the NAIA Football Championship Series. When the new football arrangement takes place in 2017, teams will play each school within a division once and play four non-division games against other Mid-South Conference teams. The Mid-South Conference’s new football divisions are: Bluegrass Division: Bethel (Tenn.), Campbellsville (Ky.), Cincinnati Christian (Ohio), Cumberland (Tenn.), Georgetown (Ky.), Kentucky Christian, Lindsey Wilson (Ky.). Appalachian Division: Bluefield (Va.), Cumberlands (Ky.), Point (Ga.), Pikeville (Ky.), Reinhardt (Ga.), St. Andrews (N.C.), Union (Ky.). Sun Division: Ave Maria (Fla.), Edward Waters (Fla.), Faulkner (Ala.), Southeastern (Fla.), Warner (Fla.), Webber International (Fla.). Today, Feburary the 25th , it became a little safer to be in the 8th grade at Adair County Middle School. Lou Ann Carter, Practical Living Teacher at ACMS, collaborated with Roger Cundiff from Adair County Emergency Services to provide students with a live demonstration and lesson over CPR, provided by a professional from their own community. This type of engaged learning is becoming the standard throughout the Adair County Schools. And the bonding between community and school continues to grow and strengthen. One can only imagine where we will be in another year from now.

Within our small-town are agencies and organizations which add enrichment to our students lives and walk hand-in-hand with our ideas and philosophies. One such agency is the Adair County UK Ag Cooperative Extension Office. Our community and school district are so lucky to have Tony Rose and Kelli Bonifer striving to accomplish many of the same goals as our school district. One such example would be on February 24th and 25th the 4-H Leadership group along with Mr. Rose, the programs coordinator, traveled to Frankfort to serve as pages for Senator Max Wise and Representative “Bam” Carney who both support and understand the importance of education in our area, and are always willing to support our local youth. A huge thank you to them both. While in Frankfort, the children will tour the capital and visit the Vietnam Memorial. So we have a local organization supporting and reinforcing both Leader in Me and Social Studies/History. The new environment within our schools is one not only of collaboration within the walls of our buildings but expanding to our town, county, and state. It is an exciting time to be a part of the Adair County Schools.
Members of the Adair County Middle School 4-H Leadership Group include: Carli Ann Carter, Lindsey Taylor, Elizabeth Marcum, Chloe Grider, Reilly Wells, Hannah Brown, Hannah Burton, and Emily Farmer.

The team continued its winning tradition on February 20 at South Warren High School in Bowling Green during the 4th Region Championships, finishing 2nd in the overall standings only slightly behind the defending State Champions. The Future Problem Solving team earned runner-up honors and advanced to State Finals for the 11th time as well.
In the Science written assessment, the team set a school record by finishing 1st and 2nd respectively in the category. Sophomore Benjamin Hancock took home the Regional Championship trophy in the event, and teammate Eli Jackson finished in 2nd Place. Hancock's 1st Place score was just one question shy in the statewide results of being among the Top 10 individuals in Science. The team's legacy of strong Language Arts finishes was once again on display as Adair took 1st and 2nd place in the event. Rebecca Montgomery capture the Regional Championship in the competition while teammate Treyton Grant finished as runner-up. Montgomery, now a Senior, has finished in the top 5 in Region since her Sophomore year. Grant finished as Regional runner-up last year, making this his second time qualifying for the State Championships. Like Hancock in Science, Montgomery is among the running for Top 10 students across the state in her respective area of competition. Since 2010, the team has finished 1st or 2nd in Language Arts at Region and has only once finished outside of the top 2 since 2007. Montgomery also competed in English Composition for the first time. She has been a State Finalist in Arts and Humanities in the past, but this year, Montgomery showed her versatility by finishing in 2nd Place in Region as a first year competitor in the event. Teammate Zane Sanders was switched into competing in Arts and Humanities this year to fill Montgomery's slot, and he qualified for the State Championships by finishing in 4th Place. Sanders also advanced to State in Social Studies with a 4th Place finish in that category as well. Overall, the team had 7 individual qualifications for State. This was the best finish in written assessment events since 2009 for the team, tying what was then the school record. Coach Brett Reliford commented, "The competition in our Region is well above average when compared to the 15 other Regions across the State. To pull this off once again this year is a testament to the hard work of our students and the effectiveness of the kind of program we try to run here at ACHS. I have said this in years past, but the records continue to show that no other program in the State gains as much ground on other teams as we do during a four-year graduation cycle. I am super proud of the devotion poured into this by students and the results they continue to get year in and year out. " The Future Problem Solving team faced the task at Region of dealing with Recovery from Natural Disasters. After weeks of preparation for a scenario they would not encounter until the day of the competition, team members Wes Stone, Trevor Cowan, Noah Ollery, and Brandon Harp worked together on recognizing Challenges, creating Solutions, and developing a Plan of Action to impress evaluators enough to be one of only two teams that get to advance to the State Finals from the 4th Region. Governor's Cup State Finals will take place on March 19-21 at the Galt House in Louisville, Kentucky. Members of the Quick Recall and Written Assessment team include Rebecca Montgomery, Zane Sanders, Courtney Green, Eli Jackson, Austin Bradshaw, Treyton Grant, Benjamin Hancock, Dylan Pendleton, Erwin Ruczienski, Trevor Smith, Jaiden Taylor, Samuel Willis, Arabella Caldwell, and Christina Kessinger.
