Adair Co. Marching Band takes the field Saturday By Tony Streeval The wait is over. The work has been done. Now, it's time to take the field. This Saturday, the Adair County High School Marching Band heads to Elizabethtown for the Governor's Gold Cup Marching Band Festival, carrying months of preparation--and the pride of an entire community--with them. But they won't just arrive ready to compete. They'll arrive with "Eyes With Pride." For Adair County, those words are more than a slogan. They represent confidence, focus, determination and pride in the school and community the students represent. Every rehearsal has led to this moment. Every correction has made them stronger. Every student has a role to play. When the band steps onto the field, they will have one opportunity to put it all together. One band. One sound. One goal. We invite the Adair County community to come out, support these talented students and cheer them on as they represent our school and our community in Elizabethtown. Come be part of the moment. Come show your support. Come with Eyes With Pride! The band is scheduled to perform at 11:15pmCT/12:15pmET on Saturday, September 12, 2026, at Elizabethtown High School, 620 N Mulberry St., Elizabethtown, KY. 2026-09-08 17:34:59 | Comments | Printable version

Malvina Farkle Day 2026 shirt celebrates Lindsey Wilson By Duane Bonifer When members of the Lindsey Wilson University community participate this year in Malvina Farkle Day, they will sport a T-shirt that commemorates more than a day of service -- it will celebrate the entire university. Held every year since 1996, Malvina Farkle Day is an annual fall celebration of a mythical Lindsey Wilson alumna and staff member who lived a life of service and fun while raising a pet opossum. On the A.P. White Campus in Columbia, classes are dismissed for the day so students can spend the morning working on community-service projects in the region. The afternoon includes campus games and activities. Lindsey Wilson students and employees are given a special T-shirt commemorating the day, which is traditionally announced early on the morning of the day it is held.

Reminder: CAIP Education Program on Sept 15, 16, and 18 From Nick Roy Adair County Extension Agent for Agriculture & Natural Resources Weather, volatile markets, and health events all pose threats to the family farm. Over the past year, we have witnessed many of our neighboring counties experience severe impacts from drought, flooding, and tornadoes. Farmers also face unpredictable markets and fluctuating input costs. In addition, the success of every family farm depends on the health and well-being of those who operate it. While we may not be able to predict or prevent every challenge, we can prepare our families and farms for the risks we know exist. Join us for a one-hour overview and discussion on developing plans to help your farm navigate disasters, unfavorable market conditions, and unexpected health events. Having a plan in place can help your family farm endure whatever challenges arise and could make a difference in keeping the farm for future generations. The program will be offered on the following dates at the Adair County Extension Office, 409 Fairground Street, Columbia, KY.

Football: Stein sees success in first game on UK sideline By Ryan Hoots Sports Director, UntdWeStnd.com Lexington, KY - Kentucky kicked off a new era from Kroger Field on Saturday. Excitement around Lexington was tangible as the Big Blue Nation was ready to turn the page on the Mark Stoops era and welcome the new sheriff to town. Kentucky won the game decisively, 45-13 in the blistering bluegrass heat on Saturday. It was so hot in fact, that over 100 heat related calls were made to first responders at the game from fans that underestimated the power of the sun. Ultimately, this game will be forgotten. This will just be a small part of the Will Stein story at Kentucky. No one knows if it is going to end well or poorly yet, but alas the story has begun after a long offseason. A few things stuck out to me in Kentucky's commanding victory.

LWU Spanish Dept builds community with food, conversation By Duane Bonifer The tastes and sounds of Spanish culture were on display during the Thursday, September 3, 2026, lunch hours in Lindsey Wilson University's Roberta D. Cranmer Dining & Conference Center Board Room. The university's Spanish program hosted a lunch with homemade Spanish food, compliments of Spanish professor Lorena Andueza. While appealing to students' culinary cravings, the purpose of the event, which is held a couple of times each semester, is to encourage students to mix together while conversing in Spanish. And the event is not held exclusively for the university's Spanish majors and minors or students enrolled in Spanish classes. "The idea is getting students together who don't normally interact with one another," said Spanish professor Derek Kotter. "It's open to Spanish majors, people in Spanish classes and people interested in Spanish. And everyone is encouraged to bring friends." Andueza said the event is a great way for new Lindsey Wilson students, especially those whose native language is Spanish, to discover a support community.
