Travel: A visit to Port Townsend


2026-09-15 - Port Townsend, WA - Photo by Robert Ellis, robertelliswoodworking.com.
Robert writes, "Our itenary pre-planning had us circumnavigating 3/4 of the Olympic Peninsula and exiting on the eastern side, with Mt Ranier being the ultimate destination.

Having watched some videos of Port Angeles and Port Townsend in helping to decide which of the two ports to visit, we chose Townsend. While Port Townsend was a little out-of-way, it was selected due to some of the Victorian homes and other old architectural buildings that made up for part of the port.

Unfortunately not enough time was allotted for a relaxing, proper visit...Mt. Rainier was calling, and still hours away."

Adair Co. FFA places 8th in National Competition!

From Gabby Barnes

The Adair County FFA placed 8th in the nation in the National Crop Scouting Contest! Team members were Ethan Wooten, Lane Kelsay, Braxton Irvin, and Hudson Hancock. After winning the state contest in July, the team spent the next two months preparing to represent Adair County at the national level in Champaign, IL.

After driving up to Illinois before the contest, the students spent the two days meeting with agronomists to prepare for their event. We had the opportunity to learn from some of the best in the nation, including Kris Ehler from Ehler Brothers Company, Jeffrey Reeks and Andrew Laughrey from Sunrise FS, and Jerry Lighty from United Prairie.

In their visits, the students were able to learn about advanced technology, including getting a tour of a sprayer with state of the art "See and Spray" technology. They also learned about genetics from popular seed developers, such as Corteva, and were taught about how a producer evaluates different genetic options in their seed selection based on their soil quality and personal goals. We received a lesson on the management of seed corn crops as well. We were also able to do some scouting at the test plot managed by the Rantoul FFA.

International students connect with region through host families

By Duane Bonifer

For Columbia resident Glen Hunt, being a host family for Lindsey Wilson University international students has broadened his linguistic skills.

Hunt is one of nearly four dozen families in the region who serve as host families to Lindsey Wilson's international undergraduate population. On Friday, September 11, 2026, some of the host families and LWU international students gathered at a meet-and-greet at the university's International Student Program House.

Lindsey Wilson has 196 international undergraduate students from 51 countries this school year on the A.P. White Campus. Host families play an important role in many of those students' lives.

While students live in university housing, host families agree to meet with them a couple times a semester to make sure they are adjusting to life in a new country. Host families often invite the students to celebrate holidays and other special days in their homes. International students are also introduced to American culture through a myriad of activities and events coordinated by the Lindsey Wilson International Student Programs.

Businesses are growing here with help of SBDC

Two local businesses - one owned by Alexis Jennings and the other by Audriana and Austin Bradshaw - are among those entrepreneurs growing businesses with help from the SBDC

By Mig Feuser / The Adair Progress

Sometimes economic development begins with attracting a new company to town. Sometimes it begins with helping the business already down the street take its next step.

Dr. Kyle Mann, Columbia native and business coach with the Kentucky Small Business Development Center (SBDC), told members of the Columbia-Adair County Chamber of Commerce last week that both approaches are important - and that local entrepreneurs have opportunities available to them that many may not even know exist.

Football: Indians hang on for win over McCreary Central

By Trey Stephens, Staff Writer

On Friday, September 11, 2026, the Adair County Indians Varsity Football team defeated the McCreary Central Raiders 26-21 in a back-and-forth contest at home.

The Tribe led on the scoreboard throughout most of the night, but they were unable to pull away from a very physical Raiders team that refused to go down easily. The Tribe looked like they were going to escape without an extreme close call, until the Raiders managed to move the ball from inside their own 20 all the way across the field to inside the Adair County 20 with less than 20 seconds left. Down just five with seven seconds left, McCreary Central failed to connect on two passes to the end zone.

Dining with the Dead on October 5

From Mike Watson

October is the 20th anniversary of Silent City programming. ACGS will be hosting four programs--one each Monday evening in October--in celebration of this anniversary and to bring together those who love local and family history. This is America250! and Adair County Genealogical Society's 40th year as well.

The first October event, "Dining with the Dead" will be held at 5pmCT on Monday, October 5, 2026, at the Columbia Cemetery, the same location of the Silent City programs and Lanterns & Tombstones Tours. This will be a pot-luck "bean soup" dinner, set up on the cemetery drive, on the main loop near the "big blue barn".

Those who bring food please arrive by 5pm so we can set up for the event which will begin at 5:30pmCT. There will be soups, chili, bbq, soup beans, and the fixings that go along with those items, as well as desserts. Water, tea, and lemonade will be provided. Serving tables will be on site; bring your chair and enjoy this time of fellowship much as our ancestors would have when reunions, singings, and cemetery working days were the norm.

Dave Thomas and Mike Watson will speak about the cemetery's history and a few of the permanent inhabitants. We invite you to bring a dish and be a part of our history!

Parking at the Justice Center parking area and/or the Farmer's Market parking lot. Walk up the drive between the Justice Center and Fire Department--the same route we take to Silent City from the Research Center and on Lanterns & Tombstones Tours. If the weather is foul, do not despair, we will convene at the History Center, 307 Greensburg Street, and proceed just the same.

Health goal met - consistency beats excuses

By Amy Brockman

It's been two years, and my husband has officially reached his goal weight! Josh made the decision to prioritize his health and change his life - and what an incredible journey it has been.

He has lost over 70 pounds, but what impresses me most isn't the number. It's the discipline. The early mornings. The meal prep week after week, month after month. The strength training, endurance workouts, the miles we've hiked, and the countless choices he's made every single day to become the healthiest version of himself.
