Basketball: Indians lose tight games at RCHS

By Trey Stephens, Staff Writer

On Monday, June 16, 2025, the Adair County Indians Boys Varsity Basketball team played their latest bit of summer ball action, this time at Russell County High School. The Indians fell in their opener 57-54 to the Warriors of Southwestern, and 75-73 in the second game to the host Russell County Lakers.

In the game against Russell County, the Indians trailed the majority of the game, but took their first lead of the second half 73-72 with under a minute to go. The Lakers unfortunately were able to pull it out, thanks to some free throws with less than a second to go. The leading scorer for the Tribe was Landon Blakey with 27, followed by John Shehan with 19.

The team will wrap up summer ball action as they head to the KABC Bluegrass Shootout beginning this Saturday, June 21, 2025.

Lightning danger begins at first sound of thunder

If you are outdoors when you first hear thunder, seek shelter. The best shelter is indoors or in a hard-topped car. The worst shelter is under a tree, by a utility poll or any isolated tall structure. Even standing near a tree is dangerous since lightning travels along the ground surface.

Never wait to take shelter until it starts raining or you hear thunder. By the time it starts to rain, lightning can already be operating up to 10 miles from the rain area. When you hear thunder, the danger is imminent.

Tornado history for this region 1974-2024

In light of the heavy rains and the long stormy spring of 2025, the weather remains at the top of our thoughts. This article collects and categorizes tornado activity over the past 50 years.

By Daniel Wilson, Storm Alert Center


There has been a LOT of discussion concerning the shifting of "tornado alley" to include a large part of Kentucky, mainly along and west of Interstate 75.

I have taken data from 1974 and ran it until 2024. In 1974, the year of the Super Outbreak Tornado of April 3rd, we experienced 59 tornadoes! Three of those tornadoes were F-5 (261-318 MPH), 20 were F-4 (207-260 MPH), 15 were F-3 (158-206 MPH) and only three were EF-1 (73-112 MPH).

This was a rare weather event and it is likely there were more F-0 to F-1 tornadoes that night that were never reported so, that total could be well above 59.

As we continue, there are years when we only had single digit tornado reports.

Writers Day: Darlene Campbell changes genre

At the Adair County Arts Council Writers Day 2025, Darlene Campbell shared that she has changed genres and read from her newest book.

By Darlene Franklin Campbell


Enter the world of The Zhandarian Chronicles when you visit my author page at https://whisperingwind.blog/ The poetry will soon get a link to its own page, and there are links to my other books but the site has primarily become the landing page for the world of my epic fantasy/sci-fi series.

You can read excerpts from the story there, meet the characters, explore the map and investigate a few of the nations in the story. I hope to make it more and more interactive as I progress along (and as I am able to hire people who know what they're doing to help me!) #amazonfinds #sciencefiction #sciencefictionart #fantasybooks #epicfantasy

Stay away from high risks in thunderstorms


2025-06-18 - Photo from news service.
When you hear the first thunder, make sure you are in a safe place - and stay away from windows, doors and porches. Avoid washing dishes or taking showers during a lightning storm. Stay off corded phones. Unplug electronics. Protect your pets. Dog houses are not safe shelters. Dogs chained to trees are at risk.
