Time changes as we spring forward Sunday Sunday, March 9, 2025, our area springs forward to daylight saving time! We won't get that hour of time back until November 2nd, when our clocks fall back to standard time for winter. Neither is a help for those of us who have the daily time keeping challenge of CT vs ET. Here in south central Kentucky those of us who live in one county that goes by central time, like Adair, and travel across the Taylor County line, lose an hour as they go by eastern time. That's why Columbia Magazine lists event times, for example, as 9amCT, 9pmCT and 9amET, 9pmET. Click here to share, print, or bookmark this article. 2025-03-09 09:17:34 | Comments

Carol Perkins: The Recipe Previous Column: It never dawned on me By Carol Perkins I try to find new recipes to satisfy Guy's diabetic desire for sweets. From chocolate sugar-free pies to orange sugar-free pies to chocolate sugar-free cakes and a few sugar-free cookie recipes, he never goes without dessert. Recently, I found a new one I couldn't wait to try. This one was more complicated than the others. I was making six small lava cakes.

Ag Tags: $10 donation benefits KY agriculture youth From Madison Pergrem Frankfort, KY - Kentucky Commissioner of Agriculture Jonathan Shell is making rounds across the state as he visits with FFA members, 4-H members, and Kentucky County Clerks spreading the word about the Ag Tag Program. Every year, when owners renew their farm license plates, or "ag tags," which depict the Kentucky Department of Agriculture's Kentucky Proud logo, along with the 4-H and FFA emblems, they can make a $10 donation. That money goes into a fund divided equally among Kentucky 4-H, Kentucky FFA, and the Kentucky Department of Agriculture (KDA) to support Kentucky's agriculture youth and other organizations and programs benefiting Kentucky's farm families. Last year, donations to the Ag Tag program reached a record high of $931,201.81. From that total, each group received $310,400.60 to invest back into their communities for youth development and promotional programs.

LWC Swimming Duo earn national titles Elkhart, IN - Maaike Broersma and Kirsten de Goede each claimed national championships for the Lindsey Wilson women's swimming team on day three of the NAIA Swimming and Diving National Championships. Broersma claimed her second individual title of the week in the 100-yard backstroke as she finished over two seconds ahead of second place and two places ahead of teammate Natalia Gorska, who garners All-American status in the event for the first time in her career. Broersma's championship is the third of her Lindsey Wilson tenure in the 100-yard backstroke. She and Gorska are the only women's swimmers in school history to earn All-American honors in the race. De Goede made NAIA history during the morning session, coasting in her preliminary heat of the 200-yard freestyle and clocking and national-record time of 1:47.34. Despite adding just over a second to her finals time later in the evening, de Goede still dominated from start to finish to win her first individual national championship and become the women's program's first ever national titlist in the 200-yard freestyle.
