Area actors join cast of new detective series Production is scheduled to begin this October in Savannah, Georgia, for the upcoming "Detective Rose Thorne" TV series, and area actors Don Overstreet and Emmy Gonzalez have both been named to the cast. The television series is based on the book series written by Dawn Kirby and R. Kyle Hannah, published by Jumpmaster Press. The Detective Rose Thorne Series follows a brilliant, but damaged, Savannah detective as she tracks a sadistic serial killer who leaves victims wrapped in custom rose-patterned sheets -- a personal message aimed squarely at her. Don Overstreet, the son of Joyce M. Coomer and Donald M. Overstreet of Columbia, has been adding steadily to his acting credits since 2017, most recently in the Gus Van Sant film Dead Man's Wire. Emelita "Emmy" Gonzalez, who moved to Columbia from Atlanta, GA in 2019, has worked as actor or stuntperson on a number of movie projects dating back to 2016, including Special Op: Rent-a-Cop, which filmed in Louisville in 2024. Overstreet will play Brian Simpkins, and Gonzalez is set to play Diane Simpkins, in the new TV series. 2026-09-25 09:57:31 | Comments | Printable version
Football: Indians host Larue Co. on Friday By Trey Stephens, Staff Writer On Friday, the Adair County Indians Varsity Football team (4-1) returns to the gridiron to host the LaRue County Hawks (5-0). The Tribe comes off a loss on the road to Glasgow last week, while the Hawks come off a 41-14 win over Butler County on the road. The lone mutual opponent for these two teams is Russell County. Adair County defeated the Lakers 37-13, and the Hawks rocked the Lakers 45-7.

Abell has passed for just over 1,000 yards on the season, with 10 touchdowns and three interceptions, while Bartolomei has carried the ball 53 times for 381 yards and five touchdowns. Catching the ball, LaRue is led by Les Colvin and Braylon McDowell who have posted 341 and 400 yards respectively this season and have combined for eight receiving touchdowns. On defense, the Hawks have been experts at forcing turnovers this season, posting nine takeaways on seven interceptions and two fumbles. The game will get underway at 7pmCT tonight, Friday, September 25, 2026, at ACHS Indian Field, 526 Indian Drive, Columbia, KY. Tickets are $8, and available at hometownticketing.com.
