Adair Co. students enjoy All In for Ag Education Week From Robin Hancock All In for Ag Education Week was a big success in Adair County! It started the week before with a presentation at the Adair County Board of Education monthly meeting, where Adair County FFA Officers Abby Maulden and Katie Kean explained to the board members and audience what agricultural education activities were offered to Adair County Students. In addition, ACMS students produced a video about Kentucky agriculture facts persuading teachers to use the materials provided by the Kentucky Department of Agriculture, Ag Education and Outreach to teach students about where their food comes from and how it gets to their plates. The video was shared with all Adair County teachers and published on Facebook. These past few weeks, middle school agriculture classes have been learning about how pumpkins are cucurbits, the pumpkin life cycle, and the 4 P's of marketing- product, price, place, and promotion!

A weekend to remember a pair of LWU Legends By Duane Bonifer They were known as everyone's best friend and the swimming program's dad. Working mostly behind the scenes, the late Brady Button and Scott Dillery both quietly influenced scores of Lindsey Wilson University students -- Button as a development officer, Dillery as a mathematics professor. But those were their day jobs. They spent their spare time heavily involved with the university's athletics program -- Button with basketball, Dillery with swimming. And over the weekend, their contributions to students were celebrated by the Lindsey Wilson community at events that now bear their names -- Button's at the fifth edition of a golf scramble started in his memory, Dillery's at a swim meet that was recently renamed in his memory.

Calling gardeners and book lovers By Veronica Arnold Hey community, the Adair county library is going to be the special location for the 4H Garden Club project. The 4H Youth and myself will work with the library at planting some fall bulbs to beautify the grounds for everyone in the community to enjoy. So whether you enjoy the outdoors or enjoy the quiet library, this project is one we can all work together for everyone on October 5, 2026. October 5th is the next 4H Garden Club and we will be meeting at the library to plant these bulbs! How you can help: If you have flowers which grow by bulbs--like tulips or daffodils--consider digging up a few, splitting them, and sharing them with your community. You can drop them off this week at the Adair County Extension Office, 409 Fairground Street, Columbia, KY. If you do not have any bulbs to share, consider grabbing just 1 package from a store this week, or ask a neighbor if they have any bulbs you could have. We truly wish to make this a community-based garden, by our community bringing a piece of their gardens to share! Thank you for your generosity and your support of our community, our public library and the 4H program. For questions about 4H you can contact the Adair County Extension Office.

Carol Perkins: I've Fallen and Can't Get Up Previous Column: When you need help By Carol Perkins When the commercial with the tagline, "I've fallen, and I can't get up," became a household slogan, I didn't realize how anyone could get down and not get up--until it happened to me. I wasn't wearing an alert necklace. Two o'clock in the morning and I'm sitting in my recliner, reading. The need to go to the bathroom snuck up on me, and I made my way to the nearby utility room at a speed much faster than my normal gait. Just as I neared my destination, my feet flew up from under me, and I fell straight back, hitting my head on the floor but not knocking me out. I lay there for a bit between the washer and dryer and the wall...a narrow room...trying to decide how to get up. There was nothing for me to grab.

Air cleaner tips - what they will and won't do An air cleaner can be a big help for people with allergies, but there are some things it won't do. It will not lower the radon in your basement, according to the Environmental Protection Agency. It will not fix a mold problem, and it will not do much about the fumes from fresh paint or a new carpet. No air cleaner removes everything. What a good one will do is pull particles out of the air: pollen, dust, pet dander, mold spores, wildfire smoke.

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. Click here to share, print, or bookmark this article. 2026-09-25 09:57:31 | Comments
