LWU Honors students showcase graduate-level research By Shelby Burton From the economics of jiu jitsu to the effects of ASMR on short-term memory, 13 Lindsey Wilson University Honors students explored a wide range of topics during the R.V. Bennett Honors Program spring symposium on Tuesday, April 14, 2026, in the Katie Murrell Library. Held in the Thomas D. Clark Reading Room, the symposium featured student presentations spanning healthcare, business, communications, psychology, literature and more - turning the space into a daylong academic conference that highlighted the depth and diversity of undergraduate research at Lindsey Wilson. The symposium is a cornerstone of the R.V. Bennett Honors Program, where students spend a semester, and sometimes up to a year working closely with a faculty mentor to expand a course project or independent study into a more in-depth research presentation. "The students spend a semester working one-on-one with a faculty mentor to take a project wider and deeper," said Lindsey Wilson associate professor of history and R.V. Bennett Honors Program director Beth Tapscott. "We want them to find something they're passionate about and have the opportunity to really dive into it and take things beyond the expectation."

Baseball: Adair defeats Green Co. 9-4 By Trey Stephens, Staff Writer The Adair County Baseball team currently sits at 8-7, recently off a 9-4 win at home over Green County. Prior to the win over the Dragons, the Indians fell 0-6 to Frankfort last Wednesday, defeated Henry County 6-1 last Thursday, and lost to Muhlenberg County 10-12 on Friday. In the win over the boys from Greensburg, Jasper Kemp did six innings of work on the bump, giving up five hits and two earned runs while striking out 12 batters on 98 pitches. Bryce Russell would come in on relief for the final inning, giving up two hits and one earned run while striking out one batter on 26 pitches. Russell lead the team offensively, with three hits on three at bats He also posted five of the team's seven RBIs. Kemp also did well at the plate, posting two hits. Bentley Petty and Alex Martin also posted a hit each for the Tribe. Martin posted an RBI, joining Russell and Dax Conn to be the only three Indians to bat in runs in the game. The long ball was key to Russell and Martin's hitting. Russell sent two scorchers over the fence and Martin sent one. The team now turns its attention to South Warren (8-4-1) who will host the Indians on Wednesday, April 15, 2026. The Indians faced the Spartans twice last season, and each team took a game during the month of May. Adair County will host Clinton County on Thursday. On Friday, they're away to face a team the Tribe has not beaten since 2013, the Lakers of Russell County.

Spring brings baby wildlife to backyards and farms From Clare Rose Frankfort, KY - Spring is here, and with it comes an abundance of young wildlife across the commonwealth. Newborn wildlife can be found in a variety of habitats, including urban neighborhoods. The Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources urges the public to leave young wildlife undisturbed, even when they appear to be alone, and reminds landowners to watch for vulnerable wildlife when working on their properties. Wildlife parents often leave their nest or young in a location they consider safe while they forage or hunt nearby, including places that are more developed. Young wildlife may appear to be left alone, but a parent is almost always nearby and will come back as needed to feed and take care of them. It's normal for them to be away for hours, so don't be alarmed if you come across a baby animal by itself. It is important to remember that human intervention can cause unnecessary harm to young wildlife. Touching a baby animal can transfer human scent and draw attention to their location, potentially making the young more noticeable to predators. "Every year, well-meaning people often step in to 'rescue' a baby wild animal that is alone and appears to be abandoned," said Dr. Christine Casey, wildlife veterinarian with Kentucky Fish and Wildlife. "In reality, they were fine before someone with good intentions stepped in, trying to help in the wrong way." Instead, people can help baby wild animals thrive by: Article continues... click here to read the whole article, or to share, print, or bookmark it. 2026-04-14 16:11:35 | Comments | See topic Ky Afield Outdoors

KY General Fund and Road Fund receipts for March 2026 Frankfort, KY - The Office of State Budget Director reported on Friday that March's General Fund receipts grew 6.2 percent compared to March of last year. The March revenue growth is compared to March of 2025 which was when the initial implementation of the Department of Revenue's new information technology system went into production. Due to the timing of the go-live date for the new system, a portion of March receipts were processed in the month of April; therefore, revenues were partially understated in March 2025 and slightly overstated in April 2025. Total revenues for the month were $1,128.8 million, compared to $1,062.6 million during March 2025. Receipts have now fallen 0.4 percent for the first nine months of FY26. For the just completed quarter, total General Fund collections grew 0.2 percent. Growth rates for the first three quarters of FY26 were -2.8, 1.4 and 0.2 percent.

Letter: we are in unprecedented times in America By Rodney White Tip O'Neill supposedly said, "All politics is local," but maybe there are certain circumstances in which that is not true. It seems to me that we are living in unprecedented times in America when too many are unaware, too busy with the challenges of life, or simply apathetic to the events of the day. This is not an indictment of the good folks of Adair County, but a reality all across the nation, and it is not only a recent occurrence in our civic life.
