Electricity blinked and then went off in New Columbia

From Vicky Pike

3:30pmCT UPDATE: Electricity is back on so Sunday afternoon activities can get back on track.

2:15pmCT Sunday -- Electricity in New Columbia/Greater Bliss flicked on and off a few times and then went down. Checking now - it appears to be off in the Pinewood Center, service stations and Walmart Center.

If you're thinking of going shopping, you might want to hold until we have a response from Taylor County RECC. We'll report as soon as we know.

New tech at Adair Co. Genealogy and History Research Center

The Adair County Genealogy and History Research Center has acquired and installed an Epson V600 document, photo, negative, and slide scanner at the public computer adjacent to the front entrance to the building. This goes beyond the typical scanner that scans photos and documents, adding the ability to scan black and white negatives, color negatives, and slides.

We want to give you the opportunity to digitize and preserve your old slides, negatives, photos, and letters. Computer and Epson software allows you to improve the quality of old, faded letters, documents, photos and slides.

Phil Hanna can show you how to use it and to convert it from a document/photo scanner into a negative, slide and film scanner.

Soccer: Blue Raiders successful in Pikeville

Pikeville, KY - On Saturday afternoon, the Lindsey Wilson women's soccer team bounced back from its first conference loss of the season, defeating hosts Pikeville in shutout fashion, 2-0. The win helps the Lady Blue Raiders keep pace in the Mid-South standings, and is the program's sixth consecutive shutout against the Bears and 19th all-time in 21 meetings.

On Saturday evening, the Lindsey Wilson men's soccer team rattled off three unanswered goals to handle the upset-minded Pikeville men, 3-1. The homestanding Bears broke through after just 90 seconds, but that's all they would get past Pablo Costa and the Blue Raider defense for the rest of this affair.

Saturday's outing was the final road contest of the regular season for both men and women. Next on the docket, Lindsey Wilson hosts Bethel University (TN) on October 19, 2022.
