Co-op Champions spark voter registration across Kentucky From Joe Arnold Louisville, KY - As Kentucky prepares for the 2026 general election, high school students across the Commonwealth are getting involved before they ever step into a voting booth. Through Kentucky Electric Cooperatives' Co-op Champions program, the association representing all 26 electric cooperatives in the Commonwealth, students led voter registration drives in their schools this fall, encouraging peers to take the first step toward participating in the upcoming election. This year, fourteen high school seniors, including John Zottman of Campbellsville, took part in the leadership initiative after serving as delegates on the weeklong Electric Cooperative Washington Youth Tour. Rooted in the cooperative principles of Kentucky's member-owned electric cooperatives, the Co-op Champions program challenges students to bring what they learned on Youth Tour back to their schools and communities, giving them opportunities to lead, engage in civic life and put their experiences into practice. As part of their commitment to their schools and communities, each Co-op Champion hosted a Co-ops Vote registration drive at their high school.

Football: Adair Co. hosts Hart Co. Friday By Trey Stephens, Staff Writer The Adair County Indians Varsity Football team is back in action tonight as they host the Hart County Raiders (5-1). After a hot 4-0 start, the Indians hit a bit of a slide as the competition has hardened. The Tribe certainly doesn't get a break with Hart County, as the Raiders' only loss is to Glasgow, who also defeated Adair County earlier in the year. Hart County is a heavy rushing team, with Jayden Chancelor and Darius Anderson being the names to watch for the Raiders carrying the ball. Both have posted over 600 yards rushing on the season. The rushing attack is the main weapon for Hart County, with their passing game accounting for just 210 yards on the season. One player to watch on the Raiders' defense is Tyren Anderson, who has been tormenting opposing offenses this year, posting six sacks and 12 tackles for loss on the season. Tonight's game will get underway at 7pmCT on Friday, October 2, 2026, at ACHS Indian Field, 526 Indian Drive, Columbia, KY. Tickets are $8 each and can be purchased at hometownticketing.com. 2026-10-02 16:31:02 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Sports

12th annual Tractor Show at Knifley By Patty Bunch Tractor afficianadoes from across the state convened in Knifley, KY, on the second Saturday of September, as they have been doing for the past twelve years, for the annual Knifley Tractor Show. The tractor show started in 2015, and was originally hosted by Paul Dixon and Larry Davis. It continued for several years in conjunction with the Revisit Knifley Festival. While the festival has been discontinued, the tractor show continues because of the huge amount of interest. Larry Davis died as a result of a farming accident shortly after the tractor show in 2022, but the tradition has been carried on by Paul Dixon. Since Larry's death, Paul has hosted the tractor show with the help of his wife, his son, and his son's family, along with his sisters. This year, forty-four tractors and one Mack truck participated in the show. There was inclement weather until afternoon, but everyone gathered under a large tent to enjoy a lunch of grilled burgers, hot dogs, chips, cookies, pinto beans and corn bread and drinks. After the rain stopped, the tractors took a ride of eight miles along the country roads and back to the tent. Sponsors for this year's event were the Bank of Columbia, United Citizens Bank, Forcht Bank, Community Trust Bank, Citizens Bank and Trust, Gaskins Fertilizer, Jeffries Feed and Seed, Craig's Farms, and Day and Day Feed. 2026-10-02 11:48:11 | Comments | Printable version
