Basketball: Indians host Cardinals on Friday

By Trey Stephens, Staff Writer

The Adair County Indians Boys Varsity Basketball team returns to the court tonight as they host the Taylor County Cardinals (14-3). Tipoff is scheduled for 7pmCT, following the Lady Cardinals game, on Friday, January 24, 2025, in John Burr Memorial Gymnasium, 526 Indian Drive, Columbia, KY.

In their last matchup in early December, the Indians cruised to 32-point win over Taylor County on the back of extremely accurate shooting. Taylor County has won 7 straight games heading into this one, and Adair Co. has won 5 straight games.

KHSAA's RPI system currently ranks the Cardinals 2nd in the 5th Region, and the Indians 4th, making tonight a highly watched matchup across the region and even the state. However, more than anything else, 20th District supremacy is up for grabs. If Adair County wins tonight they would be able to secure the Number 1 Seed in the District with a win over either Campbellsville on January 31, or Marion County on February 7, 2025.

17 games into the season, this will be just the fourth true road game for Taylor County, and the fourth home game for Adair County, because both teams have played on so many neutral floors.

Come out and support your Adair Co. High School Indians. Students get in free, and tickets for everyone else are $7. Click here to purchase advance tickets: hometownticketing.com.

Students try virtual welding at Adair Learning Academy

From Bradley Stephens, Head Teacher
Adair Learning Academy

Mr. Gordon Judd, from Kentucky Career and Technical Education, has been working with us over the past few weeks to incorporate a Virtual Welding Class for the students at Adair Learning Academy (aka the Adair Youth Development Center).

Students have been able to virtually simulate welding techniques like metal arc welding (stick welding) and mig welding to determine their interest in the occupation, as well as get answers to their questions about the career.

ALA staff would like to thank Mr. Judd for his time and his expertise in this vocational area. Many of the virtual welding mobile shields will remain at ALA for future student use.

Basketball: Lady Indians host Lady Cardinals on Friday

By Trey Stephens, Staff Writer

The Adair County Lady Indians Basketball team returns to the court tonight as they host the Taylor County Lady Cardinals (14-6). Tipoff is scheduled for 5:30pmCT on Friday, January 24, 2025, in John Burr Memorial Gymnasium, 526 Indian Drive, Columbia, KY.

Taylor County comes off a 51-47 loss on the road to Green County (to whom the Lady Indians also lost earlier this season). Adair County comes off a 60-46 loss to South Warren.

The Lady Indians and the Lady Cardinals faced each other back in the second game of the season on December 6, 2024, when the Lady Cardinals outlasted the Lady Indians 54-38. Adair County shot just 28% from the floor in that last matchup and still managed to battle to a tie at the half. If the team can shoot the basketball and limit turnovers compared to that December 6 game it would notch a big step towards securing a second straight district win.

Come out and support your Lady Indians. Students get in free, and tickets for everyone else are $7. Click here to purchase advance tickets: hometownticketing.com.

Adair Occupational Tax questions answered

By Sheila Blair, Adair County Occupational Tax Director

I'd like to ask all employees who work in Adair County to check their pay stubs and make sure the correct occupational tax amount is being withheld. Also, the employers, who outsource their payroll, if you would check with your payroll provider to make sure they have the correct amount of tax to be withheld from your employees gross wages.

The Adair County fiscal court amended the occupational tax ordinance in October 2024. The tax rate is to remain at the rate of .50% for 2025, as it was for 2024.

Volunteers needed for LTC Ombudsman Program

From Mandy Weston
Lake Cumberland ADD

There is a little known program in every state mandated by a 1978 amendment to the Older Americans Act. It is the Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program. Its goal is to help assure that long-term care facility residents live harmoniously and with dignity, feeling free to voice complaints or concerns without reprisal.

There's a tremendous need nationwide for volunteers to make this program work. The ultimate goal is to have one volunteer in each nursing home. After training, volunteers spend 6 to 8 hours a month visiting assigned nursing homes. They talk with residents and observe conditions. Interested volunteers please contact the District Long-Term Care Ombudsman.

To volunteer for the district that includes Adair, Casey, Cumberland, Green, Russell, and Taylor Counties, call 1-800-264-7093. To volunteer for the district that includes Metcalfe County, call 1-800-355-7580. More information is available at www.chfs.ky.gov.

The student section from the Indians' last game against Taylor County. Trey says the upcoming games are "about much more than just the rivalry, as both your Indians and Lady Indians can get a leg up for post-season competition, while also beating their rivals!

So I ask you, let's bring back that Adair County Indian Energy, let's bring back the energy we brought to Green County and Lexington last year, let's bring a packed and loud house for your Indians and Lady Indians!"

Time to pack the house for Indians and Lady Indians

By Trey Stephens, Staff Writer

During my time as a staff writer for Columbia Magazine I have seen many highs and lows for Adair County athletics, specifically Adair County Basketball. I have sat through disappointing losses, like the Indians trip to Burkesville earlier this season, or the Lady Indians unsuccessful bid to mount a second half comeback against Campbellsville the last time they faced the Lady Eagles. On the other hand, I have been blessed to cover some amazing moments, such as our incredible state tournament bid last season, and the Lady Indians crowning a new program leader in various statistical categories. (Also, last season).

During my time covering Adair athletics, I have sat in some electric gyms and also some pretty empty ones; I watched our Lady Indians defeat Holy Cross in a neutral site game where I likely would have been able to hear if one of the players dropped a pin on the court. On the other hand, I have experienced capacity or over gyms, such as seen at Green County High School for last year's 5th region boy's tournament, and a very rowdy Cumberland County High School during Adair County's visit there this season.

The point of this is to say that environment matters, it matters for players, it matters for coaches, it matters for our team. This year, Adair County has seen district opponents Taylor County and Campbellsville do their best to pack the gym against both our Indians and Lady Indians. Now, it is time for us to do the same.

The Cardinals and Lady Cardinals come to our town on Friday night, and John Burr Memorial needs to be electric! This game will likely determine our seeding come district tournament time for both the boys' and girls' teams.

Carol Perkins: A Face with the Voice

Previous Column: Sounds of Aging

By Carol Perkins

I closed my eyes as the hairdryer warmed my scalp on that frigid day that I had my hair done. That's what I call it: "Having my hair done."

With my back to the hairdresser's station beside me, I listened to her and her client's conversation. It was unavoidable. The lady asked the hairdresser interesting questions, which led to whether or not she went to church. I've never had the nerve to witness to a stranger.

The girl said she didn't, so she continued asking about her faith. The conversation continued. I learned the customer had made a career in the military and lived with her mother. She was seventy years old but sounded much older, I thought, as I gauged the way she sounded to my age.

LWC plans new Residence Hall, Regional Performing Arts Center

It will be a busy 2025 at Lindsey Wilson College as two buildings will be added to the A.P. White Campus - a residence hall and regional performing arts center.

The two projects, which will be a combined $24 million investment in the campus, will help "transform this college so that it can continue to meet our students' growing needs," said Lindsey Wilson President William T. Luckey Jr.

"A big reason we are able to undertake these two major projects is because Lindsey Wilson has never been stronger in its 122-year history," said Luckey, who noted that the college enrolled more than 4,000 students last fall. "During a time when many colleges and universities are contracting, Lindsey Wilson is expanding. With a record number of students and an outstanding faculty, the timing is right for Lindsey Wilson to add these two important buildings to our campus."

The residence hall, which will feature apartment-style living, will be ready for the 2026-27 school year. The regional performing arts center, which will include two performance spaces, will also be opened during the 2026-27 school year. Groundbreaking ceremonies for both projects will be held in March.

LWC Arts Administration major prepares future arts leaders

The curtain went up this school year on one of Lindsey Wilson College's latest undergraduate majors, and the early reviews about it are quite positive.

Lindsey Wilson's arts administration major enrolled its first students this school year, with the mission to prepare graduates to be leaders in arts organizations. Lindsey Wilson's program is one of only three undergraduate arts administration programs offered in Kentucky.

"There are scores of arts organizations throughout Kentucky and our region who need strong leadership, and this major will prepare our students to meet those organizations' needs while also teaching them how to be advocates for the arts in their community," said theatre professor Robert Brock, who helped create the major.

One of the interdisciplinary major's strengths is that it draws from other Lindsey Wilson programs, including the college's robust business, communication and English majors, as from courses in art, journalism and music. That well-rounded education will make arts administration graduates even more appealing to prospective employers, according to Brock.
