Old Fort Harrod State Park festival August 13-15

A stop at Old Fort Harrod State Park in Harrodsburg, KY leaves a vivid impression. The 15 acres feature a reconstruction of Fort Harrod, the first permanent American settlement in the state of Kentucky.

The fort's construction tells its own story of frontier ingenuity. Sharpened points topped the log fencing that encircled the compound, designed to slow down -- if not stop entirely -- anyone attempting to climb over.

Sleep better by moving the body, staying social

If you are sleeping less than you used to, you are not alone and you are not necessarily doing anything wrong. According to the National Institute on Aging, sleep changes with age in predictable, biological ways. The deep sleep phases that restore the body become shorter.

These are normal changes, not signs of disease. The challenge is that the body still needs roughly the same amount of sleep it always did, around seven to eight hours, according to the National Sleep Foundation. The need doesn't shrink, but the ability to get there does.

Phillip Coffey - Hang on

By Phillip Coffey

Hang on in the bitter cold with burst of squalls of icy snow
The glow of sweaty brows, sun beating down the heat - just short of a bleeding soul.

Dare not let go, battle onward against the most dangerous of livid, foul-mouthed angry foe.
Rest between the faintest breaths within your heaving breast.

Carry onward among the mightiest of angry blows-seething for reasons never known.
Light a candle for widows and orphans lost among the worlds most beautiful people - immeasurable cost.
Look up to him that loves us most - dying on a rugged cross.

Football: This Kool Aid tastes different

By Ryan Hoots
Sports Director, UntdWeStnd.com

Lexington, KY - Unlike Men's Basketball, hope doesn't spring from eternal optimism surrounding the Kentucky Football program. In fact, some might call the word "hope" a curse word if you've watched enough Wildcat Football over the years. We've all been in this position before. Every offseason has the buzzwords that fill social media and newspapers weekly. Phrases like "new energy", "culture change", and dare I say it "explosive offense" are thrown around to get clicks up and hype fans up before the first ball is kicked off of the tee. Then, by the time the leaves turn color -- so does the Big Blue Nation.

You're lying if you can't say you've stood in the Kroger Field parking lot playing the "what if" or "if only this happened" game after a deflating loss.

That is the reason I've tried to stay away from drinking too much of the Will Stein Kool-Aid. But darn it, the man has me excited.

Adair Marching Band members seen modeling success

By JR Thompson, ACHS Assistant Principal

Hard work, determination, a good attitude -- all components of successful individuals. Do you know who I have seen modeling these qualities consistently this summer?

The Adair County Marching Band. Each morning when I arrive to the campus, they are often already on the pavement preparing for their season. When I leave after 3pm -- they are still there. Even after practicing in 100 degree heat, they are smiling and cheering. All that said, I just wanted to express how much I admire the hard work of these incredible students and of their directors.

Please know we see you, we definitely hear you (it sounds so good), and I'm proud of your dedication to the talents you continue to develop. #RollTribe

Travel: Shepperds call Iceland extraordinary land

April Yurcevic Shepperd and husband Guy Shepperd are home from an adventure in Iceland. She shares some of her family photos before sifting through the 20K+ frames shot during the trip. She wrote, "We spent 14 days and traveled 1,800 miles exploring this extraordinary land.

"Although we were lowered into a volcano, hiked glaciers, explored ice caves and lava tunnels, kayaked amongst icebergs, scrambled up basalt columns, soaked in hot springs bursting into pools at the base of mountains, hiked to the most magnificent waterfalls in the world, dug our toes into the black sand beaches, and waddled with the puffins, it just simply wasn't enough.

"There is still so much in Iceland to see, explore, and experience. I plan to return. I have fallen in love with this wild land and have seen the power of God." Find all the pictures on her Facebook page at April Yurcevic Shepperd.

New College Info Road Show to debut at Kentucky State Fair

From Crystal Dempsey-Gillum

Kentuckians attending the state fair in Louisville August 20-30, 2026, can pick up free student financial aid information at the new, updated College Info Road Show booth in the South Wing of the Kentucky Exposition Center.

The College Info Road Show is a mobile classroom sponsored by the Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority (KHEAA). The new vehicle includes iPad stations, seating for presentations and a large presentation screen for students to learn more about available college and career resources.

"I urge anyone interested in continuing their education after high school to take this opportunity to stop by the College Info Road Show at the fair to find out more about their options," Executive Director Jo Carole Ellis said. "Improving college access statewide will only boost Kentucky's economic progress in the years to come, and KHEAA's mobile classroom helps envision a brighter future."

Carol Perkins: Up the Water Spout

Previous Column: Harvey and Me

By Carol Perkins

When the Itsy Bitsy Spider climbed the waterspout, he certainly didn't expect a flood to sweep him away. Yet when the sun came out, he returned and started climbing again. In many ways, that mirrors how people respond to setbacks.

Consider the homeowners whose houses flood repeatedly. Time after time, they rent dumpsters, remove damaged belongings, clean up the mess, and rebuild. Businesses do the same, pushing inches of water out the door and setting up large fans to dry their buildings. I have witnessed this happen several times, and each time, once the sun returns, people get back to work. I'm not sure I would have the confidence to start over after losing so much.

Flooded basements require enormous effort to restore. We have been fortunate to avoid that problem so far, but it could happen at any time. We have also seen roads wash out, isolating families for days, and bridges collapse under floodwaters. Yet as soon as conditions improve, repairs begin. Like the spider, people keep climbing.

Compared to many others, we suffered only minor damage from the last severe storm. A large tree fell onto our empty lot, but my husband, Guy, was most upset about the cantaloupe patch it crushed.

Adair Co. Schools: Start date moved to Aug 24

By Jason C. Faulkner, Superintendent
Adair County Board of Education

Adair County Schools has amended its academic calendar, moving the first day of school for students to Monday, August 24, 2026.

This decision was made after carefully evaluating the final preparations associated with opening the new Adair County Middle School. While construction is substantially complete and significant progress continues to be made, several final items remain in progress. Rather than rushing the transition, district leadership believes it is in the best interest of our students, staff, and families to allow additional time to ensure that all schools are fully prepared for a successful opening.

It has been my goal to open this facility the right way. Although this decision was not made lightly, our priority is to provide a safe and welcoming environment and to ensure our staff are fully prepared to see students on the first day of school.

The additional time will allow district staff to complete final preparations, receive and install remaining materials, conduct comprehensive safety and operational checks, and ensure classrooms are fully ready for instruction.

Families will receive updated information regarding the revised school calendar and any adjustments to student and staff schedules in the coming days. Adair County Schools appreciates the patience, understanding, and continued support of our students, families, employees, and community as we prepare to begin what promises to be an exciting school year in our new middle school.

Famous Adair Countians: Miss Xantippe (Tip) Saunders


Reminder: Adair County Genealogical Society meetings are a great place to learn about Adair County History. The ACGS will be in regular session at 5pmCT on Monday, August 3, 2026, in the Adair Genealogy & History Research Center, 307 Greensburg Street, Columbia, KY.

By Mike Watson

Mary Ann Xantippe 'Tip' Saunders was born 1838 in Adair County, and died in 1922 at Louisville, Jefferson County. An artist of note in Louisville, she is known for her portraits and landscapes, some of which were painted in Adair County. Much might be told of Miss Tip, but the following from the newspapers upon her death will give an idea of her importance and connection to this county:
Mark Twain's Cousin Dies
Miss Xantippe Saunders, 85, for many years one of the leading artists of this city, died at 10:45 o'clock last Tuesday morning at her home, 3128 Western Parkway [Louisville]. Miss Saunders first began her serious work as an artist under professor Pering, of Louisville, continuing her studies in New York under Professor Eaton and Professor Wilmorth. Later she was associated with Carnelia [Cornelia] Pering, of this city, for over twenty-five years, the art school here being known as Pering & Saunders. She was a cousin of the late Mark Twain and...was known particularly as a portrait painter. After the funeral services the interment was in Cave Hill Cemetery [Louisville].

Miss Saunders was a native of Adair County, her mother being a Miss Hancock, and there are yet many of her relatives living in the surroundings of Columbia. She was a very popular young woman, and especially was she the favorite of the young people of this community...

Aglow Lighthouse enjoys Back to School Bash

By Rhea Allinson

I'm thankful my group, Aglow Lighthouse Columbia, got to participate in the City of Columbia's Back to School Bash on Wednesday, July 29, 2026, at the City Park on Fairground Street. We had all kinds of desserts we were able to give to kids of all ages.

Michelle Young made some brownies and put candy eyes in them. One of my friends, Tanesha Wilham came by and grabbed one of the brownies that had an eye on it. She told her son Wyatt (the one getting his face painted), "Here you want a brownie?

He says, "No that's got somebody's eye on it!"


The Columbia Lighthouse Aglow International functions as a local gathering place for ministry and for women and men to fellowship, worship, and grow in deeper intimacy with God the Father, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit. Aglow meets at different locations, depending on the event. Find more on facebook or by emailing aglowcolumbialighthouse@gmail.com.

Blue Raider Band members show off new uniforms

By Duane Bonifer

The Lindsey Wilson University Blue Raider Band won't perform in their new uniforms until the football team's August 27, 2026, season-opener at Parnell Family Stadium. But a select group of people got to see some members of the Blue Raider Band show off the new musical outfits on Sunday, August 2, 2026, in the Blue Raider Band Building.

"I'm super excited to have them, and I'm really thankful we have new uniforms," said Dante Eads '29, a biology major from Russell Springs, who plays saxophone in the band. "I'm glad to be part of it."

The Blue Raider Band's new uniforms, which were voted on by the band members, feature the colors blue, white, gray, silver and black. The Lindsey Wilson Blue Raider logo is emblazoned on the uniform's left breast, and it is topped with a cavalier hat trimmed with a feather, which connects band members to the Lindsey Wilson athletics mascot, Blue Raider Bob, whose cavalier also includes a feather.

In addition to the hats, the new uniforms also include rain jackets. Members of the color guard and the drum major also received new uniforms.

"This is an amazing investment the university has made in you all," Lindsey Wilson Director of Bands Robert Palmer told the band members who attended the Sunday event.
