Birds will be extra happy with these food gifts Make these little gifts just like a wedding rice bag except substitute bird seed for rice. Purchase some net material and fill it with any kind of bird seed. It is helpful to add some finely crushed eggshells to the seed mixture to supplement the birds diet with calcium. Tie a red or green ribbon at the top and hang it from the tree. From the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service Christmas Tree for Wildlife.

Basketball: Indians host Marion Co. for Homecoming game By Trey Stephens, Staff Writer The Adair County Indians Boys Varsity Basketball team returns to the court today as they host the Marion County Knights (12-7) in a homecoming battle. The night is a doubleheader in reverse of typical order, with the boys opening the night at 5:30pmCT, followed by the battle between the Lady Indians and Lady Knights. The Indians come off a rough 60-57 loss to Bardstown on the road last night, where they struggled to shoot the ball, going just 46% from the floor. Marion County is led by junior Gabriel Washington and senior Eli Washington, who average 15.5 and 11.8 points per game respectively. Adair County will look to rebound from that tough road loss last night and look for a similar result to when they last faced the Knights, where they bagged a 70-56 win. Come out and support your Indians tonight! Play will get underway at 5:30pmCT, before Homecoming Ceremonies, on Wednesday, February 4, 2026, in John Burr Memorial Gymnasium, 526 Indian Drive, Columbia, KY. Tickets are available at hometownticketing.com. 2026-02-04 14:10:31 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Sports
Basketball: Lady Indians return to court on Wednesday By Trey Stephens, Staff Writer On Wednesday, February 4, 2026, after a long, snow-filled sabbatical, the Adair County High School Lady Indians Basketball team is finally back on the court, to host the Marion County Lady Knights (5-10). The Lady Indians come off a 56-68 home loss to Campbellsville all the way back on January 23, 2026, while Marion County comes off a 55-76 home loss to Taylor County on the same day. Tonight's matchup will be the second meeting of the two teams this season. They met back in mid-December, when the Lady Indians won 46-29 in Lebanon. The long break will undoubtedly affect how both teams show up and perform tonight. The leading scorers for Adair County to watch for from Marion County are juniors Kyra Smith and Patience Staples, who are averaging 14.1 and 10.1 points per game respectively. Come out and support your Lady Indians tonight. Play will get underway at 7:30pmCT, right after Homecoming Ceremonies, on Wednesday, February 4, 2026, in John Burr Memorial Gymnasium, 526 Indian Drive, Columbia, KY.

LWU scholarship celebrates Adair Co. family's deep roots By Duane Bonifer The roots of Lindsey Wilson University run deep in the family of Prudence Hutchison '69 Westholm. And now her family's legacy will benefit future generations of Lindsey Wilson students, thanks to the Robert and Prudence Hutchison Westholm Endowed Scholarship. The scholarship honors Westholm's late mother, Anna Pendleton '38 Hutchison. "Lindsey is really a big part of me," said Westholm, who lives in Elizabethtown, Kentucky, and started the scholarship with her husband, retired Army Col. Robert Westholm. "This scholarship means a lot to me because Lindsey Wilson is in my heart. Lindsey Wilson gave me a good foundation to pursue my professional goals." Recipients of the scholarship, which is open to all undergraduate students on the A.P. White Campus, will be required to work in the university's Katie A. Murrell Library in the Holloway Building. Westholm began her library work at Fort Knox, Kentucky, schools and went on to have a distinguished career as a school and public librarian in various locations during her husband's military career.
