Campbellsville Middle School students are expanding their math skills. In Ms. Grider's class, students are learning about absolute value, how far a number is from zero. After the lesson, students were quizzed to see how well they understand the concept.

Kel Stotts late 3 pushes LWC past Harris Stowe 58-57

By Christopher Coombs

The Lindsey Wilson men's basketball team defeated Harris Stowe (Mo.) 58-57 after Kel Stotts cashed in on a clutch corner three with 3.2 seconds left in the game. The Blue Raiders would trail by nine points at 49-40 with nine minute left in the game but would go on to outscore the Hornets 18-8 to pick up their eighth win of the season.

Shakaris Laney scored a game-high 16 points for Lindsey Wilson (8-6) as Mathew Eldridge tallied 12 points and Jalon Perry scored 11 in their first game as Blue Raiders. Eldridge picked up a double-double as he also managed to grab a game-high 13 boards.

The Blue Raiders managed to pick up the win despite shooting just 37.7 percent from the field. Harris Stowe (7-3) shot 41.8 percent from the floor as LWC dominated the glass grabbing 44 rebounds to the Hornets 33, including an 18-8 advantage for offensive rebounds.

90 years ago: Christmas trees, clearance sales, and other topics

By Jim

Amelia Earhart, then the aviation editor of Cosmopolitan magazine, pushed for more and better aviation schools and higher standards. And, on the day after Christmas, Mark Twain's childhood sweetheart, immortalized by Twain in "Tom Sawyer" as Tom's best girl, Becky Thatcher, died in Hannibal, Missouri, age 91 years and 25 days.

Serious matters roiled Europe. In Munich, Germany, a play in which the Deity was presented as wearing golf clothes and knickerbockers inspired patrons to pelt the stage with vile objects, empty the theater, and create quite the disturbance in nearby streets. Meanwhile, in Londinium, Rev. P.Y. Knight, vicar of the village of Ryehope, declared artificial legs displaying silk hosiery in shop windows constituted "a menace to public morals."

Opinion: Legislators Must Address KY's Pension Crisis

by Governor Matt G. Bevin

The plan was ambitious and unapologetic in its call to change government, grow our economy and enact policies that would modernize education, healthcare and our tax code. Above all, however, I noted that no matter what we accomplish in any of these areas, our long-term success runs the risk of being undermined if we do not address the single greatest threat facing Kentucky's financial future, our public employee pension crisis.
