Roundab-out-reach by Pen Roundabouts are all the rage with new transportation projects in Kentucky, with dozens planned or installed in recent years. The US Department of Transportation confirms what Columbians have known all along: "Roundabouts are not only a safer type of intersection; they are also efficient in terms of keeping people moving. Even while calming traffic, they can reduce delay and queuing when compared to other intersection alternatives." The three recently completed roundabouts on Highway 555 offer a greatly reduced commute time through the outskirts of Springfield, on the way to metropolitan Willisburg, or maybe the Bluegrass Parkway. But that's only if all the drivers understand how they work, and on recent trips through the area I've seen some blatant unfamiliarity with the concept. Since Adair County has had a roundabout as our central transportation hub from maybe the late 1800s, it's easy to take for granted our community of drivers' ingrained understanding of the finer points of roundabout use and etiquette. It might be time for a marketing push to capitalize on our homegrown expertise. We could invite drivers and officials from "new roundabout towns" to come observe for a while before embarking on a few "practice runs" through our historic downtown on their way back and forth from Adair County points of interest like Lindsey Wilson University, the Adair County Genealogy & History Research Center, and out Highway 55 for a slice of homemade pie at Betty's. Use the CM comment form if you can offer a good suggestion for a "four points" tour of the area. 2026-01-18 21:55:32 | Comments | Printable version
Basketball: Indians fall to tough Bell County team 70-46 By Trey Stephens, Staff Writer On Friday, January 16, 2026, the Adair County Indians fell to Bell County 70-46 in the first round of the H&W Dukes Kentucky 2A State Championship. The game was not close from start to end. The Tribe fell behind 21-6 by the end of the first quarter and things never really improved. Bell County shot the ball very well, going 52% from the floor on the game and 47% from three point range. The leading scorer for the Indians was Matthew MeJean with eight, followed by Tylin George and Landon Blakey, who both had seven. George led the team in rebounds with five, followed by Dawson Gilbert with four and Landon Blakey with three. Blakey was named to the All Tournament Team for his performance in the game. The Indians will look to get back on pace as they face a tough Pulaski County team at home at 7pmCT on Tuesday, January 20, 2026, in John Burr Memorial Gymnasium, 526 Indian Drive, Columbia, KY. 2026-01-18 20:56:28 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Sports Birthdays and Anniversaries for January 18 Happy Birthday, Andrea Curry (1978) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Brandon Curl (2006) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Charles Greer | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Chris Bauer | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, David Begley | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Donald Hare | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Dylan Scott Neal (2007) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Jeff Hadley (1961) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Josephine Wilson | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Kathy DeRossett (1965) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Krystal N.
