Narda Tate: A Matter of Perspective

By Narda Tate

Once upon a time, in a state that shall remain anonymous just in case the statute of limitations on stupidity has not expired, I was involved - no, I caused - what could have been a fatal incident on the roadway. Thankfully, we all survived. But let me explain. I want you to know the truth, not the truth as known by the other party.

Being raised in the southern part of Miami, Florida, I was exposed to a lot of bright, direct sunshine. This, in turn, gave me cataracts at a very young age. After my first surgery, I was delighted with being able to see again. However, after just a couple of years, the cataract in my other eye developed quite nicely and the lens tissue in the already corrected eye started growing back and was covering my vision again. It wasn't too long before I was too blind to see and voluntarily gave up driving until I could have more surgery.

The fateful day came when we arrived at church for a music rehearsal and the music was not with us. It was back home. It wasn't a very far distance from church to house and knowing that I shouldn't, I still volunteered to brave the driving world and retrieve the recalcitrant papers.

I only had to go down one road, cross 2 lanes of oncoming traffic, regroup in the median and cross 2 more lanes and I would be on our road and almost there. This much, I accomplished safely. It was the journey back that caused the problem!

No gentle breeze here

By Kathy Parker

While downtown Columbia received a gentle breeze and light rain Friday evening, the Holmes Bend area around Robertson Road received either ferocious straight line winds or a small tornado.

We were sitting on the porch during a good summer shower as the sun was setting when we heard a roar coming from the west. Normally I would have gone to the basement but it came so fast and furious I didn't have time to go down the outside back stairs. We thought the cabin was gone, with us in it.

When it finally slowed down at dark, this was left. We lost 2 giant trees, patio furniture strewn, and tree tops on neighbor's house. There was no warning and radar showed a light green space over our location. Rain gauge only showed .75 of an inch, but the torrential rain was all sideways. We are blessed we didn't have more damage. Johnny Vaughn said he has never seen or heard anything like it.

CPD: Drug enforcement operation results in 6 arrests

From Evan Burton
Columbia Chief of Police

The Columbia Police Department conducted a drug enforcement operation on Friday, September 18, 2026, as part of ongoing investigations into illegal drug activity in the City of Columbia and throughout the Adair County area.

The investigations were conducted by Columbia Police Department HIDTA Detective Ethan Pike and Columbia Police Officer Travis Bell.

Columbia Police Department personnel, along with members of the Kentucky State Police DESI West, and the ATF served indictment warrants on individuals identified through these investigations.

Additional arrests are expected to be made in the Adair County area, as well as surrounding counties, as these investigations continue.

The Columbia Police Department would like to thank the Kentucky State Police DESI West, ATF, and Commonwealth Attorney Brian Wright for their continued partnership and assistance in addressing illegal drug activity in our community.

The Columbia Police Department also reminds citizens about the department's anonymous crime tip line, "Cally's Line," at 270-378-2259. Information received through Cally's Line contributed to the identification of some of the individuals taken into custody in connection with these drug-trafficking investigations.

SKED/SBDC Partnership funds new playground equipment

From Cheryl Meadows
Southeast Kentucky Economic Development

Savannah Wisdom and Jessica Willis share a mutual passion for providing childcare that feels like a second home.

The business partners, related by marriage, have merged their passions and existing early childcare experience to invest in Graceful Beginnings Daycare. Their combined hands-on experience and licensing knowledge have given them the foundation needed to take on an existing daycare and make it their own.

"As a team, we are dedicated to creating a warm, supportive environment that feels like a second home for every child in our care," Willis said. "Our passion for early childhood development drives everything we do, and we look forward to growing alongside the families we serve."

Being onsite and actively working daily with the children in their care is important to the partners.

"We are blessed to be able to do this as it allows us to spend time with the kids and get to know each of them individually," added Wisdom. "I think our passion sets us apart. We love each of these kids as our own and have developed a personal relationship with both them and their families."

Lindsey Wilson University community celebrates the Constitution

By Duane Bonifer

On the 239th birthday of the U.S. Constitution, one of the secrets of the oldest government blueprint's longevity is its ability to be flexible.

That was one of the observations made by three Lindsey Wilson University professors during an afternoon roundtable discussion about the Constitution on Thursday, September 17, 2026, in the Thomas D. Clark Reading Room of the Katie A. Murrell Library.

The discussion about the Constitution was part of a day celebrating America's living document at Lindsey Wilson, which included a bell-ringing ceremony at the Alumni Victory Bell. The events were sponsored by the Lindsey Wilson History Club in partnership with the Jane Lampton Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution in Columbia.

Football: I'm Gonna Say It

By Ryan Hoots
Sports Director, UntdWeStnd.com

Lexington, KY - Okay, I was busting at the seam with the Week 1 Kool Aid and convinced myself Kentucky was beating Alabama in the sport of football. I was as wrong as wrong could be, lambasted for it on social media (deservedly so), and had to take it on the chin.

But, I did develop my first real on-field take of the Will Stein era.

Now, putting the nail in the coffin on Will Stein would be like getting fired on your first day. Only reserved for the worst of actions, of which losing to Alabama in football does not fall into that category. However, it doesn't mean that I am going to let Stein off without giving a few thoughts either.

And boy, do I have a thought.

Carol Perkins: When you need help

Previous Column: The St. Jude House

By Carol Perkins

When you need help, you can always find someone. It may take several stops and several people before finding the right one, but when you do find that person, he's a life-saver, so to speak.

When we went to South Carolina to visit Guy's sister, we stayed in a hotel six miles from her house. Her granddaughter led us to the site when we arrived to unpack, then we followed her to Carolyn's house, but we relied on our GPS to find our way back that night.

I was almost sure I remembered how to get there, but I missed my turn and decided I could take the next right. That didn't work out. We were on a busy four-lane highway headed to downtown Charlotte, NC, only ten miles from her house. I pulled off and plugged in the address. The problem began when the GPS didn't recognize the address. I tried to remember nearby places, but all I could recall was a Publix, and I didn't have an address. There are dozens in the area.

"Stop at a service station," Guy said, reverting to the days when service stations offered maps and directions.

More than 2,500 donors go All In for Lindsey Wilson University

By Duane Bonifer

In 48 hours, more than 2,500 alumni and friends were "all in" for Lindsey Wilson University as they combined to donate $874,211 for the 2026 fundraising campaign. That's an increase of more than $36,000 over the 2025 All In campaign, which raised $838,252, on September 15-16.

"I want to thank each and every person who took the time to be 'all in' for Lindsey Wilson, especially the students who participated in the process and the work by Vice President for Development Kevin Thompson and his incredible staff," said Lindsey Wilson President William T. Luckey Jr.

The theme of this year's All In campaign was "The Power of Us," and "us" certainly rallied to support the university's students. The money raised will be used to benefit numerous student needs, including academic programs and scholarship aid.

PCAK: Upstream Academy expanding Child Abuse Prevention

From Janna Estep-Jordan

Lexington, KY - Prevent Child Abuse Kentucky (PCAK) is continuing its work to build a statewide network of child abuse prevention advocates through Phase Two of Upstream Academy, supported by $500,000 in funding from Kentucky's 2026 legislative session.

The investment supports PCAK's continued efforts to advance prevention across the Commonwealth, while expanding access to the training and resources communities need to support children and families. Building on the $500,000 in state funding that supported Upstream Academy's first phase, the additional investment will help PCAK expand the program to even more Kentuckians and strengthen communities' ability to address challenges before they become crises.

Former PCAK Executive Director Jill Seyfred gave an update on Upstream Academy to the Kentucky Interim Joint Committee on Families and Children.

"Upstream Academy Phase Two is where we take the momentum we have built and turn it into even greater action across Kentucky," said Seyfred. "We focus on the power of one, and we have seen what happens when advocates are given the confidence and knowledge to step up for children in their own communities across more than half of Kentucky's counties, and we are excited to see how that ripple effect continues to grow across all counties."

Meet the writer/photographer Katelynn Molesky


2026-09-17 - Adair County, KY - Photo from personal collection.
Katelynn Molesky and her family moved to Adair County from the northeast in 2021. Through 4-H she discovered a love of writing and taking pictures. Her first published article came out of a spontaneous idea at a state 4-H conference in June of 2025. She wrote it and sent it to the Adair County Extension Office (home of 4-H), who then posted it on their Facebook page and distributed it to three other local news media, including ColumbiaMagazine.com. Since then her byline has been seen in many places in Adair County and on social media.

Governor signs order providing funding to Undue Medical Debt

From Scottie Ellis

Frankfort, KY - On Sept. 15, 2026, Gov. Andy Beshear signed an executive order establishing the Team Kentucky Medical Debt Relief Program, which will provide relief to more than 130,000 Kentuckians from $250 million in medical debt.

"Medical debt isn't a choice - it's what people are faced with after a serious accident, cancer diagnosis and more. Relieving this debt is the right thing to do to help Kentuckians who are overwhelmed by these extreme costs, which can cripple families for years, if not a lifetime," said Gov. Beshear. "That's especially true when medical debt results in bad credit, which can prevent families from securing the American Dream of owning a home. Unpredictable challenges shouldn't be a barrier for a better future, and today we're taking steps to help make sure that isn't the case."

Through his executive order, Gov. Beshear directed $2.5 million to Undue Medical Debt, a national nonprofit that has erased more than $49 billion in debt nationwide. The nonprofit acquires medical debt from participating hospitals and collection agencies, relieving debt for a fraction of the cost. For Kentucky, the breakdown equals $100 erased for every $1 spent.

September KSP initiative focuses on felons with firearms

From Trooper Jonathan Houk

The Kentucky State Police (KSP) Post 15 is participating in a multi-state initiative aimed at reducing crime and keeping illegal firearms out of local communities. From September 17-20, 2026, state troopers from Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia join forces for the 6-State Trooper Project.

Each of the 6-State Trooper Project's enforcement periods targets a specific traffic or criminal safety concern. September's effort concentrates on criminal patrol operations, specifically on identifying illegal firearms carried by felons traveling on Kentucky roadways. Troopers will use traffic enforcement to detect and disrupt illegal activity while also ensuring compliance with state and federal laws prohibiting certain individuals from carrying firearms.

KSP encourages citizens to play a role in keeping communities safe. If you see suspicious or illegal activity, contact your local KSP Post or dial 911 in an emergency.

Malvina Farkle Day energizes Lindsey Wilson University campus

By Duane Bonifer

The 2026 edition of Lindsey Wilson University's Malvina Farkle Day was a study in the legacy of service across generations of Blue Raider alumni along with a way to thank the community for its support.

This year's annual day of service, which was held on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, included several legacy students, whose parents participated in the three-decade-old day of service when they were Lindsey Wilson students.

One students' parent even taught her how to properly celebrate the day in song.

Macey Poindexter's mother, Kristy, who is a 2003 Lindsey Wilson alumna, rang her up this week to teach her the "Malvina Farkle Day" song, which is sung to celebrate the start of the day under the direction of former communication professor Susan Minton.

"My mom had to sing the song for me last night to get me prepared," said student Poindexter, who is an education freshman from Burkesville. "Mom prepared me for it. She said it's going to be one of your favorite days."
