DUO Broadband showcases fiber future at Chamber News of a state of the art company, locally owned and locally operated By Mig Feuser / The Adair Progress For most people, high-speed internet simply works.

That invisible world became the focus of the July Columbia-Adair County Chamber of Commerce luncheon, where representatives of DUO Broadband pulled back the curtain on the technology that now connects thousands of homes and businesses across south-central Kentucky. The presentation combined a look at the cooperative's 72-year history with a live demonstration of one of the most delicate jobs in the telecommunications industry: repairing a broken fiber optic cable.

LWU English class prepared students to enjoy The Odyssey By Duane Bonifer Few audience members are better prepared to see Christopher Nolan's blockbuster adaptation of Homer's "The Odyssey" than Lindsey Wilson University students who have taken English professor Karolyn Steffens' "Mythology & Folklore in Literature" class. "The Odyssey," which tells the story of Odysseus, the Greek king of Ithaca, on his 10-year journey home after the Trojan War, is one of the ancient texts students read in Steffens' class, which she last taught in the spring. And thanks to the 2017 translation of the 3,000-year-old epic poem by classicist scholar Emily Wilson, "The Odyssey" has been one of the more popular books in the class. Wilson's translation of "The Odyssey" was also the core text that informed Nolan's film, which opened nationwide on July 17, 2026.
