Carol Perkins: My Purse

Previous Column: The Piano

By Carol Perkins

Guy and I often go to Sam's Club for lunch because we can buy two hot dogs, a large piece of pepperoni pizza, and two drinks for $5. Add a large cup of vanilla yogurt for around a dollar, and the drive was worth the effort.

Are we fugal? No, it's just that the food is good. Obviously, we shop while we're there, buying bulk items we won't use in a year. We have enough ketchup for a food truck on Pumpkin Festival Day.

As we got out of Guy's truck to go into Sam's last week, I reached for my purse.

"What are you going to do with that?" Guy asked. "Since when have you bought anything when I'm with you?" he said sarcastically.

He has a point. Why take my purse when he's around?

KSP: Fatal Collision on Lone Valley Road in Taylor Co

From Trooper Jonathan Houk

Campbellsville, KY - Kentucky State Police (KSP) Post 15 Troopers responded to a two-vehicle injury collision at the intersection of Lone Valley Road and Robin Road in Taylor County that occurred at 7:48amET on August 8, 2025.

The preliminary investigation revealed that Wesley Burton, 23, of Campbellsville, was traveling south on Lone Valley Road in a 2011 Chevrolet Silverado. Mr. Burton attempted to make a left turn onto Robin Road. Due to limited visibility created by a sharp curve at the intersection, Mr. Burton failed to see an oncoming 2024 Yamaha motorcycle, operated by James Austin, 32, of Campbellsville, traveling north. The vehicles collided in a head-on manner on Lone Valley Road.

James Austin was pronounced deceased at the scene by the Taylor County Coroner. Wesley Burton was not injured during the collision.

2025-08-08 - Columbia, KY - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com.
The partners who are making three restaurants work in New Columbia gathered at the Chamber of Commerce Awards Banquet after being put in the spotlight by voters.

Since then, they have developed strong relationships, and brought more jobs, in the Columbia community through a commitment to local service. -- From introductions by Ellen Zornes, Executive Director, Chamber of Commerce.

New website, initiatives to protect Kentuckians from scammers

From Scottie Ellis/Kristin Voskuhl

Frankfort, KY - On Thursday, August 7, 2025, Gov. Andy Beshear announced that Team Kentucky has launched a new website, StopScams.ky.gov, and other initiatives to further help protect Kentuckians from scams. The efforts build on Gov. Beshear's work as Attorney General and focus on preventing scams through awareness, reporting and education.

"Scams are mean and cruel, and they cost Kentuckians of all ages their hard-earned savings that should be going toward rent, groceries, retirement and more," said Gov. Beshear. "While we've made progress in stopping scammers, a 2024 FBI report showed Kentuckians are losing more than $74 million each year to online scammers - something we won't tolerate. Through this new website, educational events and more, we're going to help protect Kentuckians by equipping them with the tools they need to stay safe."

The new website, StopScams.ky.gov, will serve as a one-stop resource on how to spot scams, ways to report and resources for recovering what was lost should someone fall victim. The website also offers Kentuckians the option to sign up for scam alerts through email or text message, offering direct updates on the latest emerging scams.

Travel tip - bring along a charger of your own

Public USB stations, as in airports, are meant for charging your devices, but there are mixed opinions about whether these could be hacked.

The idea is that a bad actor can tamper with the USB charging ports, according to TSA. When you plug your device into a hijacked port, the bad guy can put malware on your phone, potentially stealing your identity.

Travel expert Gary Leff says this 'juice jacking' has little to no well-documented cases. It's possible, just not probable. If this worries you, bring your own charger and plug directly into a standard outlet. You could also carry a power bank backup battery.

Hart County farmers honored with Leopold Conservation Award

Frankfort, KY - Father and Son duo Randy and John Seymour, who own Riders Mill Farms and Roundstone Native Seed LLC in Upton, are the recipients of the 2025 Kentucky Leopold Conservation Award. The award honors farmers, ranchers, and forestland owners who go above and beyond in the management of soil health, water quality, and wildlife habitat on working land.

"Some of the world's best conservationists are farmers," Agriculture Commissioner Jonathan Shell said. "This award is given to those who show the great stewardship for our agricultural lands. Randy and John Seymour not only showed an enthusiasm for conservation and restoration, but a passion for restoring our lands with native seeds. It is this dedication and forethought that will inspire and help generations of farmers to come. Congratulations to them on an honor well deserved."

Magnolias and Pine Cones: LWU Mural Blossoms on Campus

Jamestown, Kentucky, artist Dani Ford creates a mural that reflects the university's heart and soul.

By Duane Bonifer

Artist Dani Ford of Jamestown, Kentucky, has transformed one of the oldest spots on the Lindsey Wilson University campus into one of the more picturesque.

And she hopes it will also become a "timeless," picture-perfect location at the university.

Ford has painted a mural on a western side of Phillips Hall, a residence hall that is one of Lindsey Wilson's two oldest buildings. The mural, painted in rich and vibrant colors, measures 18 feet by 14 feet and covers about 250 square feet on a wall that faces the L.R. McDonald Administration Building, the university's other remaining building from when Lindsey Wilson opened on Jan. 3, 1904, with three buildings.

Robert Palmer has big plans for the Blue Raiders Band

By Shelby Burton

The Lindsey Wilson University Blue Raider Band is entering an exciting new chapter under the leadership of its new director, Robert Palmer.

"Sometimes when a program needs to reinvent itself, it's OK to completely start over," Palmer, the Lindsey Wilson director of bands, told a group of students, faculty and community members at an August 1, 2025, reception in the updated Blue Raider Band Building. "What's most important to me as your band director is giving you the opportunity for a great experience -- one that includes campus involvement, community involvement, traveling, exciting shows and, most importantly, making sure your voice as a student is heard."

The August 1 event highlighted several upgrades Palmer has already made to the program since taking over less than a month ago -- a reorganized uniform closet, a renovated music library and copy room, and the addition of a recording studio. Palmer said those changes are just the beginning.

"I've been a band kid my whole life," said Palmer. "Band is not an 'I' program. It's a 'we' event. A successful band program is one where students are having a great experience, making great music and creating lasting memories."

Palmer said he wants students to help shape the band's direction, from choosing show themes to suggesting ways the ensemble can engage with the Columbia-Adair County community. He also emphasized the importance of service and outreach.

All Adair students to receive free breakfast and lunch

From the Adair County Food Service Program

Every student eats breakfast and lunch at no charge all year! The Adair County Food Service Program is participating in the Community Eligibility Provision (CEP) that allows all students to receive free breakfast and free lunch for the 2025-2026 school year. Your child's participation in breakfast and lunch will be essential to continue to offer all school meals free for our children.

All students must take the required food components to make a reimbursable meal or they will have to pay for each item and will not qualify for a free meal. Your child may continue to purchase extra food items or a la carte items at a set price.

Board Policy states that students are not allowed to charge extra food items, so please inform your child of this policy, as cashiers will not allow charging of any items, with no exceptions. For your convenience, use My School Bucks to deposit money into your child's lunch/breakfast account and erase the agony of lost money for these items.

For more information regarding school nutrition, contact Dayna Parnell, Food Service Director, at dayna.parnell@adair.kyschools.us or 270-384-2476.

Antioch Church to celebrate 160 years in September 2025

From Judy Reliford

Antioch began around 225 years ago when a group of people who believed in Christ meet as a congregation at a location that became known as "The Antioch Meeting Place" in the Sparksville community of Adair County, Kentucky.

In 1865 (160 years ago), the first church was built on the present location. In 1945, the present building replaced the original building at the same location. The 1945 sanctuary remained much the same as it was when first built. There were Sunday School rooms added around 20 years later. A fellowship hall was added years later, and in 2016, the sanctuary was remodeled.

The 160 Year Celebration will be at Antioch Church on Sunday, September 7, 2025, with a morning service beginning at 10amCT, with a meal to follow around NoonCT. Anyone with ties to Antioch as well as others interested in this event are invited to join us. This milestone event will include worship, fellowship, and sharing many precious memories. Join us as we honor our history and look forward to the future together!

Antioch Church is located at 3324 Wheeler Hill Rd., Columbia, KY. Correspondence can be mailed or sent by e-mail to antioch3422@gmail.com.
