Football: Indians hang on for win over McCreary Central By Trey Stephens, Staff Writer On Friday, September 11, 2026, the Adair County Indians Varsity Football team defeated the McCreary Central Raiders 26-21 in a back-and-forth contest at home. The Tribe led on the scoreboard throughout most of the night, but they were unable to pull away from a very physical Raiders team that refused to go down easily. The Tribe looked like they were going to escape without an extreme close call, until the Raiders managed to move the ball from inside their own 20 all the way across the field to inside the Adair County 20 with less than 20 seconds left. Down just five with seven seconds left, McCreary Central failed to connect on two passes to the end zone.

Dining with the Dead on October 5 From Mike Watson October is the 20th anniversary of Silent City programming. ACGS will be hosting four programs--one each Monday evening in October--in celebration of this anniversary and to bring together those who love local and family history. This is America250! and Adair County Genealogical Society's 40th year as well. The first October event, "Dining with the Dead" will be held at 5pmCT on Monday, October 5, 2026, at the Columbia Cemetery, the same location of the Silent City programs and Lanterns & Tombstones Tours. This will be a pot-luck "bean soup" dinner, set up on the cemetery drive, on the main loop near the "big blue barn". Those who bring food please arrive by 5pm so we can set up for the event which will begin at 5:30pmCT. There will be soups, chili, bbq, soup beans, and the fixings that go along with those items, as well as desserts. Water, tea, and lemonade will be provided. Serving tables will be on site; bring your chair and enjoy this time of fellowship much as our ancestors would have when reunions, singings, and cemetery working days were the norm. Dave Thomas and Mike Watson will speak about the cemetery's history and a few of the permanent inhabitants. We invite you to bring a dish and be a part of our history! Parking at the Justice Center parking area and/or the Farmer's Market parking lot. Walk up the drive between the Justice Center and Fire Department--the same route we take to Silent City from the Research Center and on Lanterns & Tombstones Tours. If the weather is foul, do not despair, we will convene at the History Center, 307 Greensburg Street, and proceed just the same.

Health goal met - consistency beats excuses By Amy Brockman It's been two years, and my husband has officially reached his goal weight! Josh made the decision to prioritize his health and change his life - and what an incredible journey it has been. He has lost over 70 pounds, but what impresses me most isn't the number. It's the discipline. The early mornings. The meal prep week after week, month after month. The strength training, endurance workouts, the miles we've hiked, and the countless choices he's made every single day to become the healthiest version of himself.

After 33 months, Archer comes home By Mig Feuser, The Adair Progress For most children, "going home" is something that happens just a few days after they are born.

Archer, the son of Terra Huddleston of Columbia, is coming home for the first time after spending the first 33 months of his young life in hospitals and specialized medical care. It has been a journey that began Dec. 13, 2023, when Archer entered the world 12 weeks premature. He weighed just 1 pound, 12 ounces.

Moving to Kentucky: Cornhole By Donna Rieder I closed on my property on January 2, 2008, found a rental house just five miles away, and hauled the last of my belongings up, including my cats, on March 19th. That afternoon I was walking around the property, just checking things out, when a couple guys on 4-wheelers stopped by and introduced themselves as my nearest neighbors. They said they were having a cookout later that afternoon and invited me up. "We're going to play cornhole," they informed me. "Really," I said. It wasn't a question. My mind was racing. I came from Georgia, and I had watched Deliverance. I thought, maybe they're just teasing me...

Carol Perkins: The St. Jude House Previous Column: Mama's preacher By Carol Perkins We drove to Lake Wylie, South Carolina, last week to visit Guy's sister, Carolyn Berry. Carolyn moved from her home in Barren County six years ago. After the passing of her husband and her sons, her granddaughter Nicole urged her to move across the street from her home. She'd never lived anywhere but a farm, so having houses so close was totally new to her, but she adjusted quickly. The idea of no yard to mow, no trees to trim, and a new house sounds appealing, but moving would take the last breath out of me. "Where did all this stuff come from?" I ask.

KY General Fund and Road Fund receipts for August 2026 Frankfort, KY - State Budget Director John Hicks reported on Thursday, September 10, 2026, that General Fund receipts fell 1.7 percent in August compared to last year. Total revenues for the month were $1,088.6 million, compared to $1,107.7 million last August. So far this fiscal year, General Fund receipts have increased 13.8 percent. The official revenue estimate for FY27 calls for General Fund revenues to fall 0.5 percent compared to FY26 actual receipts. Based on Augusts' results, receipts can fall 2.8 percent for the remainder of the fiscal year and still meet the official estimate. Director Hicks remarked that "August is usually one of the lowest months of each fiscal year for General Fund revenues receipts. Through the first two months of FY27, sales and use taxes have risen 6.5 percent and major business taxes are more than $300 million higher than last year. Individual income tax collections declined by 10.1 percent due mainly to the 12.5 percent rate reduction effective January 1, 2026, from 4.0 percent to 3.5 percent. The Consensus Forecasting Group will meet later this month to revisit the FY27 and FY28 General Fund revenue estimates in light of the FY26 revenue surplus and the 13.8 percent growth thus far in FY27."
