LWC Volleyball sweeps WV Tech in Sunday doubleheader

By Dan White, Asst. LWC Sports Information Director

COLUMBIA, KY - The Lindsey Wilson College volleyball team made quick work of visiting West Virginia Tech Sunday, winning both matches of the conference doubleheader 3-0. The Blue Raiders won the first match 25-10, 25-4, 25-6 and controlled the second 25-11, 25-5, 25-6 at Biggers Sports Center.

The story of the day was the Blue Raiders' advantage in service aces. The first match was the most lopsided with Lindsey Wilson (6-21, 5-4 MSC) recording 26 aces compared to none for the Golden Bears.

A Kindred Spirit: This nana prefers wrinkles over tattoos

The next earlier A Kindred Spirit: Starry Nights

By Teresa Bell Kindred

I just finished reading an article about a 64-year-old grandmother who got her first tattoo 19 years ago (a butterfly on her back) on a dare from her ex-son-in-law. Since then she has four more tattoos, and by the way, she prefers to call it "body art." It seems tattoos are no longer just for soldiers or the young. In fact, according to the article, one third of people getting tats these days are women and the age group that's growing the fastest is the 30 to 50 year olds.

Carol Perkins: The Bullfight

It was on a once-in-a-lifetime trip to Mexico that she saw the awful truth of the often romanticized "sport." The barbarity of the event had the writer cheering for the bull. She's just wired that way. She says.

By Carol Perkins

The Bullfight

The senors and senoritas, adorned in their bright reds and oranges and yellows, filed into the arena for the afternoon, bringing with them their grandmothers, grandfathers, and children. At one time there was a law that an eighteen-year-old was banned from attending, but there was such an uproar by parents that the law was rescinded.

Cussing with Imagination

Once in a while I reach into the grab bag of the past and pull out a column, dust it off, fluff it up and run it again. Such is the case this week. Here goes!

Just as World War Two was ending, our father started on a major renovation of the house we lived in at the corner of Main and Yancey in Horse Cave. We lived in the house all during the work, at one point moving into just one room with all the furniture.
