Basketball: Indians back in tournament action on Friday Day 3 Tickets for the 2024 King of the Bluegrass Tournament are available at gofan.co for $15 plus fees. Your phone acts as your ticket, and there are no cash sales. By Trey Stephens, Staff Writer On Friday, December 20, 2024, the Adair County Indians Boys Varsity Basketball team returns to action in the second round of the Chad Gardner Law King of the Bluegrass Tournament, as they face the Shamrocks (Rocks) of Trinity High School. The Indians come off a 9 point loss to North Oldham High School on Wednesday afternoon, while the Rocks come off a 49-51 Overtime loss to South Laurel High School. That game was marred by offensive struggles through and through, especially early on, as the score at the end of the first quarter was just 5-4, within one point of breaking the all-time King of the Bluegrass record for the lowest scoring quarter, the halftime score at 19-11 also came within one point of breaking the lowest-scoring record in a half, set all the way back in 1983. Trinity shot just 34% from the floor and 26% from three on the combined game. If the Indians want to walk away with a win tonight they need to continue forcing the shooting struggles the Shamrocks showcased last night. The game tips at 8pmCT/9pmET tonight, and will be in Fairdale's East Gym which is located to the right as you walk into the athletic complex at Fairdale High School, 1001 Fairdale Rd., Fairdale, KY.

That's exactly what TeachingBooks is all about." She also shared "Winnie's Christmas Book Club," a list of picture books that would make great gifts for Kentucky kids this Christmas season. These include holiday books, Kentucky books and some of the Beshear family's all-time favorite stories. They are all featured on TeachingBooks here, with book cover jigsaw puzzles, videos, discussion questions and more.

Letter: Billy Joe's photo of town branch By Vonnie Kolbenschlag The town branch waterway first brought animals to seek water; hunters followed the animals, campsites and housing for hunters and settlers, who needed water, helped develop Columbia as a town. Waterways provided access to areas before there were roads... early addresses gave directions as a waterway before there were roads. Even now, water is a very important reason for a company to consider for locating. Springs along the way of the town branch furnished water. One such dependable heavily producing spring, with a stone spring house, is now paved over, but there is a depression forming where it once was. Check it out at Lynn's Service Station next to the town branch rippling along beside it. Stones from the historic springhouse, after it was removed, were taken to the Trabue/Russell House and used as a border for a garden (not the main garden). These stones were never identified as to their source. The spring house provided refrigeration for perishables. The blacksmith position morphed into Cole's Tin Shop located near-by. A blacksmith was a very important trade to have at one time.

LWC Bonner Scholars donate winter coats to Head Start students By Shelby Burton Public Relations A group of Lindsey Wilson College students helped ensure that area children will keep warm this winter. LWC students in the college's Bonner Scholar Program delivered 50 winter coats to Adair County Head Start on Monday morning. Members of the LWC community and Columbia-Adair County residents donated coats and money to purchase coats for the LWC Bonner Scholar Program. This year's drive, in its 14th year, was led by LWC Director of Civic Engagement and Student Leadership Kisha Burton and Bonner Scholar Assistant Director Yayi Sonnabend. Along with two LWC Bonner Scholars, Burton and Sonnabend presented the coats Monday to Adair County Head Start. Collin Pike, a middle grades education junior from Columbia, and Makaylah Hadley, an elementary education junior from Campbellsville, Kentucky, gave each child a coat that was specially chosen for them. "It was so fun just seeing all the kids' faces light up when you go in there and give them their coats and they smile and they act so excited to get it," said Pike. "The dedication and love that we have for service and giving back to the community and giving these kids their coats really shows them that we care and that we love them."
