On July 3, 2001, the terrorists came through the park using a credit card to pay their entrance fees and other items. The ring-leader, Mohamed Atta, came to my gift shop and demanded drinks and was exceedingly arrogant and nasty to me! His eyes were evil looking!

Scenic Kentucky: A visit to Red River Gorge By Veronica Arnold We wanted to see more of the natural beauty in Kentucky before we venture farther out. Of course a must-visit is Red River Gorge in the Daniel Boone National Forest. Pictured are some of the Arnold family from Fairplay at Sky Bridge trail, Auxier Branch trail and Double Arch trail. Lovely vistas, and there was a break from the heat down in the gorge, but the humidity definitely made it more difficult. We enjoyed it and can't wait to see where we will hike next! Looking forward to cooler temps to make it more enjoyable. Click title for photos from the trip. Click here to share, print, or bookmark this article. 2026-09-10 09:51:09 | Comments

Football: Indians dominated Casey, next host McCreary Central By Trey Stephens, Staff Writer On Friday, September 4, 2026, the Adair County Indians Varsity Football team defeated the Casey County Rebels at home 69-18. The Tribe dominated this game throughout, posting over 400 yards of total offense, scoring 10 touchdown, and turning over the Rebel offense twice. In the passing game, Braxton McKinney went 10 for 11 for 165 yards and two touchdowns. Madden Moye led the way receiving for the Tribe, posting four receptions for 55 yards and a touchdown, followed by Jaden Wooten who had three receptions for 41 yards. Callum Darnell posted the other receiving touchdown on a 50 yard TD reception, as part of the some 268 all-purpose yards and seven touchdowns Darnell posted on the game. For perspective, the Indians' leading scorer last season posted just 15 touchdowns on the whole year. Darnell posted nearly half of that in one game on Friday. On the defensive side of the ball, Hunter Held was Adair County's leading tackler with five tackles. He was followed by a slew of Indians with four tackles each. Held also posted the team's lone interception, while Brody Karnes posted the lone fumble recovery off a force by Cooper Brock. Moye also house called a kickoff, as if the offense and defense for the Tribe weren't doing enough already. Lastly, on special teams Matthew MeJean was nine of ten on extra points for the game. His nine made PATs comparatively make up half of all the PATs made all of last season. The Indians will next turn their attention to McCreary Central (2-1). They will host the Raiders at 7pmCT on Friday, September 11, 2026, at ACHS Indian Field, 526 Indian Drive, Columbia, KY. Tickets are $8 and available at hometownticketing.com.

KY drivers encouraged to sign up for myDrive accounts From Naitore Djigbenou/Allen Blair Frankfort, KY - On September 9, 2026, Gov. Andy Beshear announced that more than 30,000 Kentuckians have completed creating a myDrive online account, unlocking convenient drivers licensing services that can save them time and trips to a driver licensing office. "We've made improving licensing a priority so that Kentuckians are spending less time waiting in line and more time getting where they need to go," said Gov. Beshear. "By completing their myDrive registration, Kentuckians can save themselves trips to the licensing office and we can continue to see those average wait times drop even further." Team Kentucky encourages all drivers to sign up or complete account verification to access eligible online services, like changing an address, replacing an ID or renewing a license. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet's (KYTC) new, modernized driver licensing system, Kentucky Information Network for Driver Licensing, replaced the state's 40-year-old backend system in June and expanded online service options available to Kentuckians at myDrive.ky.gov.
