Labor Day - a brief history of the holiday

By Katelynn M. Molesky
Disclaimer - This is the previously unpublished product of my very first attempt at an article from back in 2023. I apologize in advance for the writing quality and for any potentially outdated information - I was fifteen!
Labor Day comes around once a year on the first Monday of September. As it is a federal holiday, most businesses, schools and workplaces are closed in observance. But what exactly is Labor Day, where did the idea come from, and why is it important?

The origins of the holiday can be traced back to the 1800's. At that time in history, industries in the United States were growing and developing rapidly.

Blue Raider Band, LWU Singers collaborate on alma mater

By Duane Bonifer

Lindsey Wilson University's Jennifer Bersaglia and Robert Palmer are working to revive a Blue Raider tradition. During Saturday night's pregame activities before the Blue Raiders' football game against Ave Maria (Florida) University at Parnell Family Stadium, Bersaglia took the Lindsey Wilson Singers onto the field to perform the school alma mater, "On the Hill of Lindsey Wilson," with the Blue Raider Band, which is directed by Palmer.

It was the first time the two musical ensembles have performed "On the Hill of Lindsey Wilson" together. Palmer had the idea of performing the song together, but what he didn't know is that both he and Bersaglia, both of whom arrived at Lindsey Wilson in summer 2025, had been searching for a copy of the school alma mater, which was written more than 80 years ago.

The climb of 200 feet begins with help from dad


2026-09-05 - Quinault, WA - Photo by Robert Ellis, robertelliswoodworking.com.
Photographer Robert Ellis and his Navigator, Tammy, recently paid a visit to the world's largest* Sitka Spruce tree, located on Washington's Olympic Peninsula in the Quinault Rainforest at Rain Forest Resort Village. Robert says the little girl on the tree in the photo got stuck and was hollering for an assist from her (nearby) dad.

*The Big Spruce is nearly 200 feet tall, and approximately 1000 years old. According to the Resort's web page, there is some controversy about exactly which Spruce holds the world title, which may explain the vandalism to their sign.

Phillip Coffey - Rear Window View

By Phillip Coffey

Memories from my home southern upstairs window often reappear - so very dear as I first tiptoed to view above its lower seal, first traversed by European settlers on my Father’s side in the early 1800s.

Hardships a-plenty endured by my Rogers, Keltners, Coomers and Coffey ancestors. Now I cool myself not far away with modern inventions including air conditioning.

Yet, I also recall so very well in youth of sweat, Dampened sheets of Summer so very hot and piles of cover in dead of Winter With my little sister nearby to gather warmth Beside the chimney in a movable cot.

Beauty returns swiftly in my thoughts of Forested hills and small pastures of green and broom sage well hidden from my Rear Windows Southern View.

Carol Perkins: Mama's preacher

Previous Column: Fluffy and the Pill

By Carol Perkins

On the Fourth of July this year, Skypac in Bowling Green hosted a free concert. I've written about how wonderful it was, but what I didn't write about was what happened beforehand.

As we gathered in the lobby, talking to old friends who enjoy attending the way we do, I saw a small crowd gathering around what must be, I concluded, a famous person. I can spot a celebrity like a hunter spots a deer.

I eased toward the crowd and soon recognized the person they'd circled. He wasn't a celebrity as in Hugh Jackman, but he was a local person of obvious influence; a man who influenced me and, over the years, my mother, too. I edged closer. I had something I needed to say.

Those shaking his hand were smiling as if they had touched a close relative they hadn't seen in years and adored. I understood. He had an air of calm approachability.

I made my move and reached for his outstretched hand. "You don't know me, but I know you."

From Trey Stephens
Assistant to the Mayor | City of Columbia

The City of Columbia is extremely excited to announce that we are a recipient of the 2026 Transportation Alternative Program Grant. This program provides funding for non-motorized transportation projects for communities across the nation.

The City of Columbia will be receiving almost $1.4 million in funding for a sidewalk extension and improvement project in the vicinity of the Adair County Schools Campus. The sidewalk will go down Greensburg Street to the school's furthest entrance, down Walker Street, and back up Hudson Street.

The grant also includes repair of a section of sidewalk directly in front of the United States Post Office along Burkesville Street.

"The City of Columbia is excited about this project and the opportunity to improve connectivity in our community. This project continues a priority of mine to improve Columbia's pedestrian infrastructure and pedestrian safety, to ensure that mobility is available to everyone across our great City in a safe and accessible way," said Mayor Hoots. "Special thanks go out to the Lake Cumberland Area Development District, the Commonwealth of Kentucky, and Governor Andy Beshear who contributed greatly in the receiving of this grant," added Mayor Hoots.

After all funding is received, the City will be responsible for less than $10,000 of the total project. Further details on the time frame of the project will be available in the near future.

Football: Indians vs Casey Co. preview

By Trey Stephens, Staff Writer

The Adair County Indians Varsity Football team will be back in action at 7:30pmCT on Friday, September 4, 2026 as they host the (0-2) Casey County Rebels at home on ACHS Indian Field, 526 Indian Drive, Columbia, KY. The Indians come off a 14-6 win on the road against Metcalfe County last week, while Casey County comes off a 22-36 loss to McCreary Central at home last week.

The Rebels found some offensive success both passing and rushing against McCreary Central, but mostly through the air, with QB Owen Willoughby finding the endzone three times. Two of those were to receiver Ethan Strong, who cut up the McCreary Central defense for 123 receiving yards. With that in mind, pressuring Willoughby and keeping Strong covered will be a high priority for the Tribe defense on tonight. Strong will also need to be watched on the defensive side of the ball - he posted two interceptions last week, Casey County's only takeaways.

Adair County has won just three of their last 10 matchups with Casey County, but two of the last three. They will seek to keep that recent success going as they open up the home campaign of the 2026 season. Tickets to the game are $8 each, and can be purchased online at hometownticketing.com.

Lessons Learned on the Diamond

Lindsey Wilson University President William T. Luckey Jr., Adair County Athletic Director Tyler Maskill '21 reflect on how playing baseball helped shape their careers outside the lines.

By Duane Bonifer

If wins and losses -- and championships -- stick with a student-athlete for life, so do the life lessons they learn through competition.

That was one of the messages two former college baseball players told a room full of Lindsey Wilson University students and guests on Thursday, September 3, 2026, at the Roberta D. Cranmer Dining Center.

At the inaugural "Lunch & Learn," sponsored by the university's sport performance program, Lindsey Wilson President William T. Luckey Jr. and Adair County School District Athletic Director Tyler Maskill '21 discussed how they have applied some of the lessons they absorbed as college baseball players to their present jobs.

Courtney Murray Carter, who is coordinator of the sport performance program and professor of sport management, served as the event's moderator. A new major this fall at Lindsey Wilson, sport performance is an emerging academic discipline that transforms the athletic experience into a rigorous form of academic study by giving student-athletes a way to turn competition into deeper learning.

The purpose of "Lunch & Learn" is to focus on how skills developed in the experience of playing sports can transfer to careers beyond the competition.
