Carol Perkins: Burton Ridge

Previous Column: Date Night

By Carol Perkins

The address was a Columbia one. My mistake was not knowing how far a Columbia address would take me. By the time I arrived, I was in spitting distance of Liberty. At least I felt like I was, but I didn't care; the day was beautiful, and the drive was gorgeous...for me. However, Guy was driving.

"Do you have a clue where we are?" This was foreign territory for him.

Once we headed toward our destination, I knew exactly where I was, but I hadn't driven this route since the 1960s, when it took me through the wilderness (at the time) to Eastern Kentucky University. Long before roads were much nicer and more traveled.

The long drive through here felt really empty and quiet. While driving, I'd often feel trapped and afraid that if I went missing, no one would come looking for me. I recall pulling over and calming myself down. It was a panic attack, but at the time, I didn't know what was happening to me.

"You would buy a sack of manure if it were on sale," he said, ever so dramatically.

I didn't comment that I could use a good sack of manure for my new bushes we were going after. I had found three hydrangeas on Marketplace that would have cost me much more money at a greenhouse than I was going to pay to the person on Burton Ridge.

Kentucky Color: Sun Dogs


2026-10-09 - Columbia, KY - Photo by Billy Joe Fudge.
Billy Joe writes, "According to the 'Old Folks' when I was growing up in the Great Wooded South, Sun Dogs were an indicator of 'falling weather'! Most said it would rain or snow, depending upon time of year, within 36 hours. Do you think it will play out that way this time?"

WKU News: Remembering Jim Richards (1936-2026)

Jim Richards ('59, '60, '61), former Coach, Director of Athletics, and Executive Director of the WKU Alumni Association, died on Friday, October 9, 2026. He was 90 years old.

There are very few people more identified with WKU than Richards. He was a notable figure on and around campus for most of the past seven decades as an athlete, Basketball Coach, Golf Coach, Athletics Administrator, Alumni Engagement staff member and dedicated fan.

Richards came to WKU from his native Adair County in 1956, where he became a standout baseball player for Coach E.A. Diddle. He lettered all four years in Baseball, leading all four Topper diamond clubs in batting and serving as team captain his last three seasons.

After a successful coaching career at Auburn and Glasgow high schools--where his 1968 Scottie Basketball Team won the state championship--he returned to the Hill as an Assistant Basketball Coach in 1968. Richards was promoted to Head Coach in 1971 following Western's run to the NCAA Final Four and Coach John Oldham's retirement from coaching. He was named the OVC Coach of the Year in both 1974 and 1976. During this time, he also served as the Golf Coach from 1978 to 1986.

He also served as Coordinator of Men's Athletics from 1978 to 1986. Richards served as Executive Director of the WKU Alumni Association from 1986 to 1993.

Sad word of passing of Adair native Jim Richards

From Missy Renfro, daughter of Jim and Annette Richards

It is with a heavy heart that I have to share the news of my father's passing. He was surrounded by family and I know for sure he felt all of the love that has been poured over him.

There will definitely be a void in our family as he was our rock but the comfort will come in knowing that he is going to be in heaven looking down on those that he cares and loves for so dearly and cheering on the Tops!

Thank you for your continued prayers for our family as we morn. We will share the details of his visitation and funeral as we get them.

LWU English class learns important lessons at ACPL

By Duane Bonifer

Lindsey Wilson University students in English professor Sara Loy's "Writing & Culture" class commemorated the American Library Association's Banned Books Week by learning how the Adair County Public Library navigates book challenges.

The good news: the library has not had to do much of that over the years because, during the last four decades, only one title has been questioned, and that was a children's book.

A big reason for that impressive record is because the library and its staff members remain closely connected to the community it serves. And as Library Director Leeann Jessee told the students, the first step for a library to be firmly connected to its community is to have a lot of conversations with patrons.

"You don't really know what a person wants until you sit down with them and have a one-on-one conversation with them about their interests," said Jessee, who recently completed her 40th year as the library's director.

Creating those connections with patrons helps forge a bond between them and the library so that people become more than a bibliophile who checks out titles -- they also become friends and supporters of the library.

"Public libraries are about choices," said Jessee. "I shouldn't tell you what your choice is. I just want you to have the choice" when you visit the library.

LWU students enjoy Couch Night, multiple soccer wins

By Duane Bonifer

For a few hours on the evening of Thursday, Oct. 8, the hillside at Lindsey Wilson University's Walter S. Reuling Stadium was transformed into an outdoor living room.

At least that's how Lindsey Wilson student Kamilah Nana '29 saw it.

Nana was among several hundred Lindsey Wilson students who took to the hill for the university's annual "Couch Night" at Reuling Stadium. Nana was joined by classmates Mugisha Constance '30, Kammora Gaston '30 and Jenesis Bowling '29 on a couch that Bowling borrowed from her boyfriend, graduate student Alexis Santamaria, to watch the Lindsey Wilson-Campbellsville (Kentucky) University women's-men's soccer doubleheader on Ray Wells Field.

"It's like I'm sitting at home on a couch watching a big-screen TV," said Nana, a human services and counseling major from Louisville.

Travel: Make some noise at TDECU Stadium


2026-10-09 - Houston, TX - Photo by Trey Stephens.
Trey writes, "The scene is TDECU Stadium, the home of the Houston Cougars, as the Coogs defeated the University of Central Florida (UCF) on Saturday, September 3, 2026.

TDECU Stadium, despite having a brutal name, is one of the nicest small stadiums I have been to, featuring much greater premium seating and club space than the near-90,000-capacity Jordan-Hare Stadium I visited a couple of weeks ago.

Even on a hot Texas day, a decent amount of people still braved the sun to cheer on the Coogs, which showed the crowd-noise design of TDECU Stadium to be quite good as well. The University of Houston generally wears red when at home, but this day was their annual 'Built by Houston' game, where they featured a beautiful Space City Blue throughout game day."

Cora Bell Compton is focus of five-year journey

One photograph was enough. It showed a woman named Cora Bell Compton, a woman who had once called this part of Kentucky home before leaving Adair County in 1926.

Nearly a century later, the photograph landed in the hands of Cora Bell's great-granddaughter, writer, photographer and artist Leslie Lindsay. And something about it would not let her go.
