Happy Father's Day 2025

We wish all fathers a joyous day! There's more to being a dad than earning a living and being an advisor to teenagers. According to researchers in the Fatherhood Project at the Families & Work Institute, interacting with dad is crucial for child development.

Researchers now know that even interactions with your infant or toddler influence how your kids will relate to other people later in their lives and how they will view the world at large. Every day of contribution to a child's physical and mental health and welfare is vitally important.

Travel: Vintage Dad's Day at Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill


2025-06-15 - Harrodsburg, KY - Photo by Robert Ellis, robertelliswoodworking.com.
Robert writes, "Originally I travelled to Shaker Village on Friday (the Vintage Dad's Day event was scheduled for Saturday) thinking I could get ahead of the rain in the forecast for Saturday. I surmised the antiques would be setup on Friday for the Saturday festival. I was wrong...so I spent Friday focusing on photographing the numerous buildings of the village grounds. Checking the forecast Saturday morning, I saw that the rain would hold off until later in the day, so off to Shakertown!

I was able to capture numerous photos I was pleased with, some of just the buildings and a few 'street' style photos like this one. For me with all the juxtaposition/contrasts going on in this photo; it quickly became my favorite."

Basketball: Indians finish Lindsey Wilson Shootout 4 and 2

By Trey Stephens, Staff Writer

In their first game on the final day of the Lindsey Wilson Shootout, Friday, June 13, 2025, The Adair County Indians Boys Varsity Basketball team fell to the Caverna Colonels 78-48. The game was never close, as Caverna ripped off a 15-0 run to begin the game. The Indians offense struggled mightily against a high pressure Caverna defense.

Adair County would eventually get their feet under them and start making shots, but they were never able to slow down the Caverna offense enough to threaten the lead the Colonels had built. Dawson Gilbert led the scoring for the Indians with 16, followed by John Shehan with 14, no one else for the Indians posting double digits.

The team faced Bowling Green High School later in the day. Last year's Indians squad split games with Bowling Green, beating the Purples in the regular season and losing in the postseason.

In the Lindsey Wilson Shootout, the Tribe was able to get the win 57-54 over Bowling Green. The Bowling Green team, much like Adair County, is searching for production after a mass exodus of players, thanks to graduation.

Adair County compiled a 4-2 record in varsity matchups in the Lindsey Wilson Shootout and a 2-1 record vs 5th Region opponents. The Indians will continue summer play on Monday, June 16, 2025 at Russell County.

Basketball: Lady Indians improve to 4-0

By Trey Stephens, Staff Writer

The Adair County Lady Indians Basketball team remains undefeated in summer ball action. On Tuesday, June 10, 2025, they knocked off Leslie County 52-32 to improve to 4-0.

The Leslie County Lady Eagles came off a 10-17 season that ended in the first round of the 54th District Tournament. However, they are a team that only graduated two seniors, neither one of whom were massive scoring contributors, combining to make up just 5% of the scoring and 12% of the rebounding from last season.

With this win, the Lady Indians have now outscored their summer opponents a combined 217-168, for an average margin of victory well into double digits. The Lady Indians will keep rolling and keep improving as summer goes on and they work towards the season.

Taking a few minutes

By Veronica Arnold

While cutting hay or brush hogging, many farmers take extra time to protect wildlife. Yesterday while I was cutting I noticed a little fawn. I managed to stop and move the fawn to the fence line in teller grass. Of course, the baby kept running into the brush. This meant several stops to remove the fawn. I didn't mind, as the baby deer was so sweet and called his momma.

Taking a few minutes to preserve life, totally worth it. I then left a small pile of grain near the fawn for momma when she comes back. Does seen in the field this morning leads me to believe all reunited and ok.

LWC Alum named one of top medical school students in USA

From Duane Bonifer

Graduating at the top of your medical class is very impressive. But being named one of the top medical school students in the country is remarkable.

That's what 2019 Lindsey Wilson graduate Dr. Bethany Harting achieved this year when she received an honorable mention for the Student Doctor of the Year Award from the Council of Osteopathic Student Government Presidents, a council of the American Association of Colleges of Osteopathic Medicine.

Harting had already been named the Campbell (North Carolina) University 2024 Student Doctor of the Year. In the spring, she was one of three students who received an honorable mention for the national award, which is presented to students who demonstrate excellence in service to their medical school, leadership and research experiences, and dedication to the osteopathic profession.

Scenic Adair County - along Town Creek


2025-06-15 - Downtown Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com.
Trees and limbs downed by recent storms provide new cover for deer to travel greater distances in the middle of town. This one is heading along Town Creek through my yard to greener pastures on Missy and John Arnold's acres next door. What I didn't know, until they frolicked out on the bank, was that she had two little babies with her. - LW

Carol Perkins: A valuable legacy

Previous Column: The new rug

By Carol Perkins

My father, Henry Sullivan, passed away in 1977 at the age of 62. I thought he was old, but I now realize how young he was. I've written about him before, but occasionally I'll think of something special and want to share, especially near Father's Day.

A good friend told me about how she and her husband took their TV to my dad to have it repaired. He owned Sullivan's TV and Repair, which was the shop next to my mother's house. "I liked your dad," she said. "We'd talk and then he'd play the fiddle." My dad could do both very well.

His musical talent, a gift from God inherited from both the Sullivan and Acree (my grandmother's) sides, blessed the entire family. My dad played string and horn instruments, favoring the saxophone and fiddle. These instruments are now in our son's possession.

I was thinking about what a musical and artistic legacy he left behind.

Letter: Extended internet/phone outage in Oak Grove

By Jacquelyn Montgomery

Several Windstream customers in the Oak Grove area of Adair County have been without internet and phone service since May 16, 2025.

The automated message sent out every one to three days references "an area wide outage" that is expected to be resolved by tomorrow or the next day. No other explanation has been forthcoming via the Go Kinetic App, live text or phone.

Understanding the cause and reasons for the delay would be much more helpful than the automated message with promises we no longer believe.


Use the CM Comment Form if you are also experiencing this outage, or have more information about the cause or expected duration.

Flag Day: 14 June 2025

Columbia and Adair County have the wonderful tradition of flying the American flag on city streets and at businesses. I doubt that you can stand anywhere within the Columbia city limits and not see an American flag flying. The same goes for homes out in Adair County. We are a community who gives honor to the symbol of our country.

From Russell Lunsford, Commander
VFW Post 6097 Columbia

Flag Day is a celebration of the American flag that occurs each year on June 14, the anniversary of the flag's official adoption. What we know fondly as the "Stars and Stripes" was adopted by the Continental Congress as the official American flag on June 14, 1777, during the Revolutionary War.

Colonial troops had been fighting under many different flags with various symbols--rattlesnakes, pine trees, and eagles. The early flags had inspirational slogans; "Don't Tread on Me," "Liberty or Death," "Conquer or Die."

On that 14th of June, Congress made the Flag Resolution of 1777, stating: "The flag of the United States shall be thirteen stripes, alternate red and white, with a union of thirteen stars of white on a blue field ..."

Governor lauds 2024 as best year on record for KY Tourism

Louisville, KY - On Wednesday, June 11, 2025, building on the New Kentucky Home initiative, Gov. Andy Beshear announced that 2024 marked a new record year for Kentucky tourism, with $14.3 billion generated in economic impact supporting 97,394 jobs, as tourism remains a key piece of the commonwealth's booming economy.

According to the state's full list of economic impact and jobs by county at www.kentuckytourism.com (PDF), tourism directly results in more than 800 local area jobs, generating more than $19 million in labor income and over $100 million in spending in the 7-county area.

The Governor joined state tourism leaders at the Louisville Slugger Museum & Factory on Wednesday to celebrate the third straight record-breaking year for tourism in Kentucky.

"Kentucky's tourism industry is experiencing the biggest historic winning streak we've ever seen. Thanks to the hardworking people in this industry and Team Kentucky's ongoing investment in tourism, we're welcoming more people to our New Kentucky Home and celebrating three straight years of record-breaking economic impact," said Gov. Beshear. "This win is more than just numbers; it's about families creating lasting memories and our communities thriving. Together, we will keep this momentum going and showcase what makes Kentucky so special."

Letter: More memories from the Tasty Freeze

Mary Bardin writes:
In response to Phyllis Curry, I remember when Mr. and Miss Pendleton owned the Tasty Freeze. However I remember most when Arvin Burris and family owned it.

We all gathered there. We had the best times there. I would even sometimes get dressed up just to go hang out there. They had a jukebox. Sometimes we got free food depending on who was there at the time. The whole family tolerated a whole bunch of teenagers that didn't spend a lot of money there, but "shore" had good time.

One memory is when Butch Lewis let me drive his little Bridgestone motorcycle. As as I was crossing over Fairground Street, I hit a patch of gravel and wrecked. I think I gave Miss Burris the scare of her life when she realized I was the hooligan on the motorcycle. Good times for sure.
