Basketball: Lady Indians win again in Kelly Holiday Classic

By Trey Stephens, Staff Writer

On Monday, December 29, 2025, the Adair County Lady Indians Varsity Basketball team wrapped up their time in Bourbon County with a 67-53 win over Fleming County in the Kelly Holiday Classic.

The team ended as the third place finisher overall in the Holiday Classic, behind Lyon County and Boyd County. The Tribe ended the tournament ahead of host Bourbon County, Johnson Central, Montgomery County, East Carter, in addition to Fleming County.

The Lady Indians accomplishments at this tournament are impressive as they fished towards the top of a very tough field. Coming into the tournament, the Indians' opponents had a combined 32-18 record.

The team will have gained valuable experience from their time in Bourbon County, which should help them as they face district rival Taylor County (7-1) at 5:30pmCT on Friday, January 2, 2025, back at home in John Burr Memorial Gymnasium, 526 Indian Drive, Columbia, KY. Tickets are available at hometownticketing.com.

Kentucky reports first pediatric influenza death this season

From Kendra Steele/Beth Fisher

Frankfort, KY - On Tuesday, December 30, 2025, state health officials with the Kentucky Department for Public Health announced that a Kentucky child has died from influenza (flu). This is the first pediatric flu death this season. The child, who lived in Kenton County, had not received this season's flu vaccine. The flu vaccine is the best way to protect against influenza.

"Team Kentucky is deeply saddened by the loss of a child to influenza," said Dr. Steven Stack, secretary of the Cabinet for Health and Family Services. "Our hearts are with the family during this incredibly difficult time. This is a heartbreaking reminder that the flu is not always a mild illness, especially for young children and people with high-risk medical conditions."

Seasonal influenza is increasing across the commonwealth, especially among children. The Kentucky Department for Public Health reports that emergency department visits and hospitalizations for the flu among children younger than 5 are higher than they were a year ago. The Kentucky Department for Public Health shares data on respiratory virus activity in Kentucky through its Respiratory Disease Data Dashboard and other resources available at chfs.ky.gov/agencies/dph/Pages/RespiratoryDiseases.aspx.

"While flu activity is increasing across Kentucky, there are proven steps families can take to protect their loved ones," said Dr. John Langefeld, commissioner of the Kentucky Department for Public Health. "The flu vaccine is safe, effective and widely available. It is the best way to reduce the risk of severe illness, hospitalization and death."

Red-throated Loon spotted at Corbin's Bend

According to e-bird's rare bird alert for Kentucky, birder Jeffery Sole reported a Red-throated Loon (Gavia stellata) at Corbin's Bend this morning, Tuesday, December 30, 2025. The location link for the sighting is maps.google.com.

According to the All About Birds entry for the Red-throated Loon, they are sometimes spotted in the Great Lakes region during migration, but are not frequently seen in Kentucky.

In addition to the Red-throated Loon, Sole's lengthy checklist today included two flocks of sandhill cranes, plus grebes, common loons, bald eagles, and dozens of other species.

Boy Who Fell Off the Mayflower - local ties

Annita Dial of Columbia shared a fascinating historical and personal presentation titled, “The Boy Who Fell Off the Mayflower—John Howland—and His Adventure from the Old World to the New,” at a recent Adair County Genealogical Society meeting - and the fact that John Howland is connected to her own family.

Dial, now a member of the Mayflower Society, presented research tracing her family lineage more than 400 years back to Mayflower passenger John Howland, the subject of that book.

Basketball: Indians defeat Mustangs, host Somerset next

By Trey Stephens, Staff Writer

On Saturday, December 27, 2025, the Adair County Indians defeated the Muhlenberg County Mustangs 78-56 in the Bethlehem Christmas Classic. The Tribe got rolling quickly, going ahead 24-9 by the end of the first quarter and 43-22 by halftime.

The Indians were led in scoring by senior Landon Blakey with 25, followed by Tylin George with 16. Dawson Gilbert and Samuel Feese also scored in double figures, posting 12 and 10 respectively.

The Tribe out-rebounded the Mustangs 34 to 18. John Shehan led the team in rebounds with 9, followed be Blakey, who pulled down 8. The team as a whole shot the ball well, going 59% from the floor and 29% from three point range.

A low point on an otherwise good night for the Indians was when Tylin George was called for an elevated foul in the second half, which saw him head to bench for the rest of the game. Many unverified reports state he will serve a two-game suspension for this foul, which would see him miss Adair County's home matchups against Somerset and Taylor County this upcoming week.

With or without star transfer George, the team will now set their sights on a home game with Somerset (5-3). Tipoff is scheduled for 3:30pmCT on Monday, December 29, 2025, in John Burr Memorial Gymnasium, 526 Indian Drive, Columbia, KY. Tickets are available at hometownticketing.com.

Basketball: Lady Indians fall to Boyd Co., face Fleming next

By Trey Stephens, Staff Writer

On Sunday, December 28, 2025 the Adair County Lady Indians Varsity Basketball team fell 47-34 to the Boyd County Lady Lions in their second game in the Kelly Holiday Classic at Bourbon County High School.

The Lady Indians struggled to get the ball through the hoop the entirety of the game, despite some good looks. Coming into this game, the Lady Lions were averaging over 67 points per game and had yet to be held to less than 60 in a game.

Kinzlee Akin was named Player of the Game for Adair County with a team-leading 15 points, followed by Reese Bardin with 10. Ila Loy, Ella Brown, and Anika Jennings rounded out the scoring for the Lady Indians with five, two, and two respectively. The team was out-scored consistently from the beginning with a 12-8 deficit after the first quarter, going to 14-22 by halftime and 23-33 by the end of the third quarter.

Boyd County is a very talented team with an explosive offense, and Adair County should take pride in holding them to just 47 points. Adair County will look to keep up the same defensive intensity, and perhaps combine it with a few more made baskets, as they face Fleming County (6-2) in the third and final day of the Kelly Holiday Classic. The Lady Panthers of Fleming County come off a 73-55 loss to Lyon County in their second game in the Kelly Holiday Classic.

Tip off is scheduled for 3:30pmCT on Monday, December 29, 2025, back at Bourbon County High School in beautiful Paris, KY.

What's inside a squirrel's nest?

Looking out at bare tree limbs whipping around in today's high winds, the question came up of how those nests squirrels make actually hold on to those limbs. A little research provided the architectural details. Inside a squirrel's nest, called a drey, you'll find a cozy, hollowed-out chamber lined with soft materials like fur, moss, dried grass, shredded bark, and feathers, creating a warm, insulated home, while the exterior is a messy, spherical ball woven from twigs, leaves, and even vines for protection against predators and weather, often with stored food like acorns inside.

Exterior Construction (The Shell) - Twigs & Branches: A sturdy outer layer is built from interwoven sticks and green twigs for structure.

Old Christmas Trees Can Benefit Wildlife

Don't throw away your old Christmas tree-use it to feed wildlife in your yard. Remove all lights and ornaments but leave any strings of popcorn and cranberries. Add table scraps and other treats and watch as wildlife is attracted to your yard.

Old Christmas trees can also be used to build brushpiles which will furnish cover for rabbits and other small animals. Place the brushpile near other thick cover to encourage animals to use it.

Discarded Christmas trees can be used to improve fishing. Weight the tree and sink it in deep water. This artificial reef will soon attract crappie and other panfish. More information from Piedmont National Wildlife Refuge, 912/986 5441.

Lady Indians defeat Johnson Central, face Boyd Co.

By Trey Stephens, Staff Writer

On Saturday, December 27, 2025, the Adair County Lady Indians Varsity Basketball tam defeated Johnson Central 49-44 in the Kelly Holiday Classic at Bourbon County.

Ila Loy, who led the Indians' in scoring with 18, was named Player of the Game. Kinzlee Akin followed with 15 points. This was a solid win for the team over a good opponent in the Lady Eagles of Johnson Central, who are just one year removed from a state tournament appearance.

The Lady Indians will have little time to enjoy this win though, as they are right back on the court today, Sunday, December 28, to face Boyd County (5-2) in the next round of the Kelly Holiday Classic. Boyd County comes off a 61-50 win over Montgomery County yesterday, and prior to that a 1-2 performance in the Smokey Mountain Classic Christmas Tourney. Boyd County, much like Johnson Central, is a young team, with three of their top four leading scorers being in eighth grade, and featuring no seniors at all.

The Lady Indians and Lady Lions of Boyd County tip off at 3:30pmCT back at Bourbon County High School's Russ Day Gym, 3341 Lexington Rd, Paris, KY.

We can still roast chestnuts on an open fire

In The Christmas Song, Nat King Cole waxed nostalgic about chestnuts roasting on an open fire. Do you think of it today as just an quaint memory of an obscure tradition? Most likely, except here where we have an Adair County Chestnut tree.

Roasting chestnuts wasn't an obscure tradition. It was the fragrance of Christmas in the 18th and 19th centuries. But, by the time Cole sang that line in 1946, the roasting chestnut was, in fact, just a memory. The chestnut tree fed humans and forest animals for at least 9 thousand years.

Squirrel nest or something more nefarious, 2 of 2


2025-12-29 - Fairplay, KY - Photo by Veronica Arnold.
Veronica writes, "Hanging from this tree, on the right side I thought I saw a large squirrel nest. Now I think it is some more nefarious ... Like a giant wasp or hornet nest. If that is true, one of this size likely needs more than a can of spray to safely remove. With livestock nearby and dogs running these woods, I would like it removed to protect people and animals. Thoughts?"

City of Columbia Christmas wrap up

From Trey Stephens
City of Columbia | Assistant to the Mayor

Wherever you spent your Christmas, whether it be at home with family or on the road somewhere, we at the City hope it was a good one. As the holidays begin to wind down, lets look back at all Christmas activities undertaken by the City of Columbia during the month of December.

For starters, beginning right after Thanksgiving, the City was glad to offer the largest Christmas lights display in our history by lighting up Veterans Park, Citizens Park, The Trabue Russell House, Joe Johnson Little League Park, and Downtown Columbia.

The City was also extremely pleased to have the City Police have their latest running of Operation Christmas Spirit, which, in cooperation with several local businesses and organizations, was able to collect and give out gifts to residents at our local nursing home and children all across our community.

Letter: A story over time

Roldcat writes:
In my experience, I found that the twisted looking effect is caused by vines wrapping themselves around the tree trunk or branches when the tree is young and then the growth of the tree squeezes out between the vine wrapping and causes the twisting effect. I've made walking sticks out of twisted looking branches and have actually pulled the vines off of the branches.

Silent Night first heard on battery power

Addie Turner was part of the Turner family from Crocus Creek in southern Adair County, whose father Joseph moved them to Metcalfe County, Cave Ridge, where she met a young man named Walter Scott Leftwich and claimed him. Geniece was the youngest of nine children born to Addie and Walter. Their sons, Geniece's big brothers, star in this memory.

By Geniece Marcum

I never hear the song Silent Night without seeing mama standing at the old dining room door drying her hands on her apron ... crying. Russell, one of her nine children, had bought one of the first radios to be had in our neighborhood and set it up in the family room.

There was no electricity in our home then so all four of my brothers, Russell, Robert, Ed and Rondyl, worked the long, late fall afternoon wiring it up to a pole set up in the front yard with an aerial wire run to the radio. It took three batteries to get it in operation - a big one like a car battery, and a couple of round ones that were pretty good size.
