Through the Fire youth group helps people in need From Lisa Tucker Through the Fire Worship Center's 3-7 year old Sunday School Class has been working hard in November. They have such big hearts to be so young. They asked if they could help some people in need. It's not about what you have or don't have, it's about what you need. The Sunday School Class collected food for a few weeks and delivered to a local Blessing Box. They also stocked their own Blessing Box, located at our church at 24 Burnett Road, Columbia, KY, (off old Burkesville Loop Road near Walmart).

Carol Perkins: Santa and Junior Previous Column: Red or Gold By Carol Perkins Santa settled by the roaring fireplace and drank his hot chocolate. It had been a long day, and his work was grueling. Many kids now asked for technological gifts rather than trucks, cars, and dolls, so he had to work his tech elves over time, tiring out their little bodies. "I may have to retire," he proclaimed while blowing his drink to cool it. Mrs. Claus laughed. "You've been threatening that for years, but I haven't noticed you slowing down." He continued. "Yes, but I've got these bum knees now and a hip that kills me every time I hike my leg to get into the sleigh." Santa had been complaining more frequently over the last few years. She continued. "Why don't you stop falling down chimneys and stovepipes and go through doors? And what about all those kids sitting on your knees? No wonder your knees are shot. That huffing and puffing gets you back up, but it's the going down that kills you."

Bob Bell, "The Legend," honored for work in broadcasting By Amber Hobaugh, Editor Adair Progress Bob Bell has had an interest in radio for just about as long as he can remember, hanging out at his grandmother's store in Creelsboro listening to the music, news and radio programs. Then, one year he received a recorder as a Christmas gift and thus was a turning point for Bob's passion for radio. "I would sit by the radio at my Grandma's store and record songs, then when a song would end, I would turn down the radio and do my little spiel before introducing the next song," Bell said, "I would even do my own newscasts reporting on the happenings around Creelsboro." Eventually, Morris Gaskins hired him part-time, as WJKY was just starting out, to report the Creelsboro local news. This kicked off Bell's 20 plus year career in broadcasting.

Swimming: Hour of Power Relay raises funds for cancer research The Lindsey Wilson men and women's swim teams took to the Holloway Center Natatorium pool on Tuesday, November 28, 2023, joining thousands of fellow student-athletes across the nation to celebrate the 18th Annual Ted Mullin "Leave it in the Pool" Hour of Power Relay for Sarcoma Research, sponsored by the Carleton College swimming and diving teams. Despite a fierce rivalry, joining the Blue Raiders at the Holloway Center Natatorium was the Campbellsville University men and women's swim team. This season marks the 10th year the Blue Raiders have taken part in the Hour of Power Relay. "This is one of my favorite team traditions because it's a way for two rival teams to come together to give back to a cause that's bigger than we are," head coach Alicia Kemnitz said. "We've been doing this for a decade and I don't see us stopping any time soon. Two great teams teaming up for a wonderful cause--it's meaningful in multiple ways."
