Hopkinsville, KY - The Adair County High School Marching Band gave its hometown plenty to cheer about on Saturday, October 17, 2026, delivering a championship-winning performance at the 2026 Western Kentucky Tournament of Champions.

Basketball: It wasn't pretty, but I'm not panicking

By Ryan Hoots
Sports Director, UntdWeStnd.com

Lexington, KY - Kentucky took down Little Rock on Friday night in Rupp Arena, 69-49, to mark the open of their three game exhibition season. I don't know how much we can really tell as fans from a game like this, but I did think a few things stood out against Travis Ford's newest team.

Kentucky might be better on defense than originally thought

All offseason the narrative that this team would be able to score the basketball in bunches but couldn't defend anyone with a pulse was shoved down the BBN's collective throats.

However, with watching tonight, the opposite was almost true. Kentucky recorded eight blocks and nine steals as a team. They also held the Trojans to just 31% shooting on 18-for-58 shooting from the field.

By Tony Rose
Adair County Extension Agent for 4-H Youth Development

We are looking for people or businesses that would be interested in bidding on and purchasing the ham gift baskets at this year's 4-H Country Ham Auction. If you are interested in potentially attending as a buyer, contact Tony Rose at 270-384-2317 or by email at trose@uky.edu.

The Adair County 4-H Program will be holding its 15th 4-H Country Ham Auction starting at 5:30pmCT on Thursday, October 29, 2026, at the Adair County Extension Office, 409 Fairground Street, Columbia, KY.

This year, 33 4-H Youth will be auctioning off their hams. Each youth will design and create a ham gift basket that will be auctioned off along with the ham they produce. The hams have been produced by the youth as part of their 4-H Country Ham project.

Proceeds from the ham auction will be divided as follows:
  • 90 percent of the total proceeds will be equally divided among the youth who auction off hams.
  • 10 percent of the total proceeds will go to a Country Ham scholarship. Each year, a graduating senior who participates in the ham project may apply. Up to three $300.00 scholarships will be awarded.
We hope you will help support our local 4-H youth by participating in our 15th 4-H Country Ham auction. Just show up just before 5:30pmCT on October 29 to participate. Rumor has it that the hams are very tasty this year, so don't miss out.

Smooth sailing ahead

George writes, "The sailors on the old sailing ships had a saying, 'Red sky at night, sailor's delight; Red sky's in the morning sailors warning.' (I expect they would have claimed this evening's sky red, since orange rhymes with neither night or morning.) This photo was taken in my back yard."

Gov. Beshear appeals FEMA decisions on June 2026 Storms

From Scottie Ellis

Frankfort, KY - - On October 16, 2026, Gov. Andy Beshear sent a letter to David Arnot, acting associate administrator for the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), appealing President Donald Trump's denial of Public Assistance for five counties affected by widespread flooding and severe weather that took place in June of this year.

In the letter, the Governor also urged FEMA to reconsider its sweeping denial of the state's inclusion in the Hazard Mitigation Grant Program; asked for additional counties to be added to the Individuals and Households Assistance Program, including Cumberland County and Marion County; and requested an adjustment of the incident period time from just five days to June 17-30, per the National Weather Service report.

From Scottie Ellis

Frankfort, KY - On October 16, 2026, Gov. Andy Beshear announced that medical cannabis is now available across all 11 of Kentucky's dispensary licensing regions following the opening of Sunnyside Dispensary in Floyd County.

"Kentuckians suffering from PTSD, cancer, terminal illnesses, sickle cell anemia and more deserve a safe, non-addictive option for relief, and medical cannabis provides that," said Gov. Beshear. "With this week's opening of Sunnyside Dispensary, we now have dispensaries open in all 11 licensing regions throughout the commonwealth. Every step of this process has put patients first, and I'm proud of the progress we've made."

From friendly canine to local drug enforcer

By Duane Bonifer

Two classes of Lindsey Wilson University students learned about drug enforcement on Thursday, October 15, 2026, from one of the Columbia Police Department's most tireless and successful crusaders against illegal narcotics.

Students in counseling professor Mahalia Cain's "Substance Abuse" and "Abnormal Psychology" classes watched Cally, an 8-year-old blonde Labrador Retriever of the Columbia Police Department's K9 unit, demonstrate how she ferrets out drugs in various settings and situations.

No matter the location or where contraband was hidden during a demonstration in a parking lot behind the university's Biggers Sports Center, Cally correctly informed her handler, Sgt. Trevor Foster, where narcotics had been placed. He rewarded her each time by allowing her to play with a nearly indestructible ball for a few minutes before Cally seemed to blithely move on to the next challenge.

Cally has been trained to locate cocaine, marajuana and methamphetamine. Foster said that lately methamphetamine has been the most common drug Cally has helped uncover. But he noted that the deadly fentanyl "is making a comeback" in the region. He aims to keep Cally away from fentanyl because even a trace of the synthetic opioid drug can be lethal to humans and dogs.

"Cally is a single-purpose dog, trained for article search," said Foster.

Moles: what works to get rid of them

If moles have invaded your yard, you have probably tried repellent sprays, pellets, and those vibrating stakes from the garden center. Here is the hard truth: according to university extension programs from Purdue to Penn State to Michigan State, most of those products do little or nothing. The moles are still there because the products that dominate the store shelves are largely ineffective.

The first surprise is what moles are actually after.

Rose Morgan's Legacy Lives On

Residents of Breeding recently found something unusual in their mailboxes. It was a letter, but more importantly, it was a reminder of a little girl whose short life left a lasting mark on her family, her school and her community.

The letter told the story of Rose Morgan and introduced the "What Would Rose Do? Foundation", a new nonprofit organization created in memory of the 7-year-old Breeding girl who lost her life in a December 2024 automobile collision.

Its mission is as simple as the question in its name: What would Rose do?
