Wethington announced on Wednesday.
It is with great regret we must confirm our inability to move forward with the July 4th fireworks event this year. I truly understand the concern and disappointment, however, due to changes with the individual we have worked with in the past (who had graciously volunteered his time, expertise and building space), the unresolved issue of ownership of the fairgrounds for that time period and other problems affecting the ordering and delivery we were unable to make timely commitments to the fireworks company. Many calls have been made and many attempts and inquiries to find an alternative solution but without success. We look forward to the issues being resolved for the 2017 year, to a new place for this event and an even greater reason to celebrate!! I wish all of you a great and safe summer!!
Michael Lee Stephens Adair County Judge/Executive CAMPBELLSVILLE, KY (06/22/2016)(readMedia)-- "A lot of them don't want to go home, they ask me if they can do another week," Curtis Flaherty, director of Kentucky Law Enforcement Explorer Academy (KLEEA), said. About 60 explorers from six different states and 12 different police agencies participated in the program June 12-18 at Campbellsville University. Explorers are young men and women from 14 to 20 years old who have an interest in law enforcement. Part of KLEEA training consists of simulations, which include active shooting scenarios based on a real-life situation. The simulation prepares young explorers for irrational acts and how to deal with them the best way possible, according to Det. Jim Clark, primary instructor at KLEEA. "This is a very real scenario," Clark said. "It's not the first time that this has happened to this country, and it won't be the last time." Shootings are "something that we need to be cognitive of, aware of," Flaherty said. An active shooter can be a domestic terrorist, foreign terrorist, a mentally ill individual or a combination of these, Flaherty said. He said sometimes there is no explanation for a shooter's behavior -- the shooter could just be mentally ill. The simulation illustrated to the explorers how to neutralize the threat so the paramedics and emergency medical technicians can do their job. "Overall, explorers did really well," Flaherty, said. "We tried to make it as real as possible. We used the simunition rounds, which are basically blanks." The Kentucky Law Enforcement Explorer Academy was a weeklong program where explorers woke up at 6 a.m. for both intensive classroom instruction and practical training exercises. Practical training involved exercises like a non-emergency vehicle operation course, a burglary-in-progress simulation, defensive tactics, disturbance exercises and riot control. "The explorers enjoy, and they get a lot out of their training. They are tired by the end of the week, but they go home with smiles in their faces," Flaherty said. This is the fourth consecutive year Campbellsville University has hosted the KLEEA.
COLUMBIA, Ky. – Lindsey Wilson baseball standout Scott Sebald has signed a free agent contract with the Arizona League Rangers, a minor league affiliate of the Texas Rangers.

Winners work while others are not watching and that’s what Scott is, he’s a winner.” The female that was found dead in her home on Hays Lodge Road in Warren County has been identified as 51 year old Dealynn O’Connor of Smiths Grove.
