Softball: Adair Co. to host Clinton Co. on Tuesday By Trey Stephens, Staff Writer The Adair County High School Softball team currently sits at 2-4, coming off a 5-9 loss to Russell County, a 7-2 win over to Metcalfe County, and a 4-10 loss to LaRue County. All of those matches were away for the Lady Indians, who have been wearing out the road over the past week, traveling a combined 177 miles. In the 7-2 win over the Lady Hornets, starting pitcher Jazalynn Young did three innings of work for the Tribe, giving up just 2 hits and walking one batter while striking out two. The team did give up an unearned run during the period though. Young was relieved by Keylin Bergin, who would close out the game doing four innings of work giving up 3 hits and one earned run while striking out three batters. Bergin also lead the way for the team in hitting, posting three hits in four attempts and scoring one run. Young followed with two hits, Braylee Corbin, Ashley Loy, Callee White, Hayley Parnell, and Allee Campbell would also post a hit each to round out the team's 10. The Indians will return to the diamond on Tuesday, March 31, 2026, to host the Clinton County Lady Bulldogs (4-3). They host Somerset on Thursday, and hit the road again to face the Hart County Lady Raiders on Friday.

LWU student designs new Presidential Medallion By Duane Bonifer When Lindsey Wilson University holds its 123rd commencement ceremonies on May 1-2, 2026, LWU President William T. Luckey Jr. will preside over the commencement ceremonies while wearing a new presidential medallion, which was designed by Lindsey Wilson student Tezon Mitchell '27 of Greensburg, Kentucky. The new presidential medallion, which is made of brass, features "Lindsey Wilson University" below elements of the crown of the university's iconic John B. Begley Chapel. Below the school's name are the lamp of wisdom and book of knowledge taken from the university's new seal, which appear inside of the the words "every student, every day," a phrase that is the essence of the Lindsey Wilson mission. The year 1903 -- when the school was founded -- appears at the bottom. The lower half of the medallion is framed by a pair of new icons -- two swords, which refer to the university's Blue Raiders nickname.

Writers' Day: The Werewolf of Elizabethtown By Mig Feuser / The Adair Progress Who forgot it? Surely nobody! Although... usually my stories start with these words. But not this time. Because in this case nobody remembers. Except the files, deep, deep in the shelves. To be exact: the chronicles of several towns and villages, which can be found in the Kentucky Department for Libraries and Archives in the capital, Frankfort. Because they report about incidents in the year 1778, which admitted only one conclusion then: a werewolf haunted the region of Elizabethtown. Basically, it was pure coincidence that history student Milly Bookworm from Tulsa, Oklahoma, enrolled at the University of Kihei, found the story in 2015. For a seminar paper, she was researching at the Department for Libraries and Archives in Frankfort when she got into a conversation with an employee of the department.

Letter: thanks for posting about the siren test Galen Gray wrote today after two alarms downtown: Thanks for posting about the siren test. I had to do a Google search and it took me right to that page. Columbia Magazine prints the notices from Grant Loy, Director Adair County Emergency Management, who is working to assure all sirens across Columbia are in good condition before the next need. This was only a test. There was no emergency, however, it's hard to be sure, especially when there's more than one alarm as was the case today.

Protecting Livestock by using Guardians By Donna Rieder For thousands of years, people have depended on guardian animals to alert them of danger and to protect their livestock. Livestock predators come in all shapes and sizes, with the coyote being the most prevalent. Other predators, depending on where you live, are wolves, bears, foxes, and even birds of prey such as eagles and hawks. A large bird can easily swoop down and snatch a chicken or duck, or even a small lamb or goat kid. One of the biggest threats to smaller livestock such as poultry or goats and sheep is the domestic dog. I've had livestock and poultry for decades, and every loss I've had was because of someone else's dog. They have no fear of humans, and sadly, they kill for sport, not for food. Guardian animals come in many different forms, and each have their pros and cons; the farmer will choose the one that best suits their particular situation.

Writers Day 2026: Meddlesome Jack All the writers and readers were invited to share their Writers' Day presentations. Here's mine. Meddlesome Jack Written and Read By Linda Waggener Oh, the places you’ll go! said the wonderful Dr. Seuss. And oh, did I want to go places and see everything! As a child, my grandmother had a name for me. She called me… “Meddlesome Jack.” I was curious about every one of Grandma Marcum's Boxes. Trinkets. Secrets. Sometimes she’d catch me exploring one of her personal spaces… maybe studying a beautiful pearl necklace like it was museum treasure. And she’d give me a smart pinch and say, “Get out of that, Meddlesome Jack.” Article continues... click here to read the whole article, or to share, print, or bookmark it. 2026-03-30 08:47:34 | Comments
