Daily News for Sunday, December 28, 2025
What's inside a squirrel's nest? Looking out at bare tree limbs whipping around in today's high winds, the question came up of how those nests squirrels make actually hold on to those limbs. A little research provided the architectural details. Inside a squirrel's nest, called a drey, you'll find a cozy, hollowed-out chamber lined with soft materials like fur, moss, dried grass, shredded bark, and feathers, creating a warm, insulated home, while the exterior is a messy, spherical ball woven from twigs, leaves, and even vines for protection against predators and weather, often with stored food like acorns inside. Exterior Construction (The Shell) - Twigs & Branches: A sturdy outer layer is built from interwoven sticks and green twigs for structure.

Old Christmas Trees Can Benefit Wildlife Don't throw away your old Christmas tree-use it to feed wildlife in your yard. Remove all lights and ornaments but leave any strings of popcorn and cranberries. Add table scraps and other treats and watch as wildlife is attracted to your yard. Old Christmas trees can also be used to build brushpiles which will furnish cover for rabbits and other small animals. Place the brushpile near other thick cover to encourage animals to use it. Discarded Christmas trees can be used to improve fishing. Weight the tree and sink it in deep water. This artificial reef will soon attract crappie and other panfish.

Lady Indians defeat Johnson Central, face Boyd Co. By Trey Stephens, Staff Writer On Saturday, December 27, 2025, the Adair County Lady Indians Varsity Basketball tam defeated Johnson Central 49-44 in the Kelly Holiday Classic at Bourbon County. Ila Loy, who led the Indians' in scoring with 18, was named Player of the Game. Kinzlee Akin followed with 15 points. This was a solid win for the team over a good opponent in the Lady Eagles of Johnson Central, who are just one year removed from a state tournament appearance. The Lady Indians will have little time to enjoy this win though, as they are right back on the court today, Sunday, December 28, to face Boyd County (5-2) in the next round of the Kelly Holiday Classic. Boyd County comes off a 61-50 win over Montgomery County yesterday, and prior to that a 1-2 performance in the Smokey Mountain Classic Christmas Tourney. Boyd County, much like Johnson Central, is a young team, with three of their top four leading scorers being in eighth grade, and featuring no seniors at all. The Lady Indians and Lady Lions of Boyd County tip off at 3:30pmCT back at Bourbon County High School's Russ Day Gym, 3341 Lexington Rd, Paris, KY. 2025-12-28 12:51:27 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Sports Birthdays and Anniversaries for December 28 Happy Anniversary, Gerry and Martha Lacy | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Anniversary, Joyce and Alvin Denton | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Anniversary, Raymond and Viola Benaitis | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Adalee Bell Martin (2008) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Allison Mae Caffee | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Bob Jenkins | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Brian Kemp | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Fayrene Denton | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Janet Burton Pelletier | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Janie Wilson Edwards | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Jeanetta Holmes | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Jeff Karnes | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Jon Lacy | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Karen Burton | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Kathy Grant | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Kathy Keith (1957) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Margaret Taylor | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Mark Young | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Michael Hinkle (1976) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Ronald Garrison | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Susan Brummett Miller | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Teras Childers | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, William Larry Calhoun, Columbia, KY (1947-2020) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Estelle Farris Bault, Adair Co., KY (1915-2007) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Floyd (Buddy) Price, Taylor Co., KY, (1959) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Tommy Ray Nunn, Green Co., KY (1942) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Hazel Marie Clements Brooks, Casey Co., KY (1948) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Marshal Lee Barlow, Casey Co., KY (1928) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Helen Keith Eskins, Adair native (1941 | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Lily June Poff, 33, Russell County, KY (1978) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Richard Singleton, Russell County, KY (1966) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Vertie Brown Goode Picking, Casey Co., KY native (1926-2013) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Herbert A.
