LWU Hall of Fame: In memory of Coach Stoner By Duane Bonifer Jamaine Gordon '07 made history twice at Lindsey Wilson. He won the Blue Raiders' first NAIA individual track and field national title, and on Saturday, September 13, 2025, he became the first track and field athlete to be inducted into the LWU Athletics Hall of Fame. Gordon's national championship story of how he turned tragedy into inspiration is worthy of its own place in the LWU Athletics Hall of Fame. In April 2005, a little more than a month before that year's NAIA men's outdoor track and field national championships, Lindsey Wilson cross country and track and field coach Gary Stoner was found dead in his Columbia home. Stoner died of natural causes. Gordon was among the track team's athletes who helped guide their Blue Raider teammates through the remainder of the season.

Letter: Water taste and smell issue Bryan New writes: A few years ago I contacted the water company with the same concern about the water. I was told that it happens at this time of year when the water turns over. I told them I have lived all across Kentucky and in multiple other states and have never encountered this issue before.The Columbia Magazine Senior Water Tasting Panel has sampled the summertime waters of Bowling Green, Edmonton, Campbellsville, Murray, Louisville, Owensboro, Shelbyville, Russell, and Columbia, and the issue seems to have been a common occurrence in late summer in all the locations that pull water from a reservoir and not a river. 2025-09-17 10:22:16 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Letters and Reader Feedback
