Depression/anxiety advice: You are not alone

By Holly Jo Evans, student news writer/photographer, Office of University Communications

CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky. - In chapel Jan. 29 Dr. Scott Wigginton, associate director of Campbellsville University's Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy Program and professor of pastoral ministries and counseling; Dr. Ken Hollis, associate professor and director of marriage and family therapy at CU; and Whitney Brainard, a licensed marriage and family therapist, answered questions from students about anxiety and depression.

The first question was, "when in a relationship with someone who struggles with depression and suicidal thoughts, what are practical ways to help and support them?"

Wigginton said to normalize those thoughts with friends, to encourage them and remind them that many people struggle in the same way and they are not alone.

Jail-crowding bill advances, but bail reform stalls

By John Cheves, Lexington Herald-Leader

The House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday approved a bill that would make it easier to transfer state inmates serving felony time in dangerously overcrowded jails to other jails that have open beds.

However, discussion on a second bill proposing reforms to Kentucky's broken bail system was delayed for a week. Judges, prosecutors and defense lawyers continue to argue behind the scenes over language in House Bill 410, said House Judiciary Chairman Jason Petrie, R-Elkton, who is one of the bill's sponsors.

Carol Perkins: Yo-Yo triggers fond memories

Previous Column: Romance sells

By Carol Perkins

As I was going through boxes in my office closet, I found a yo-yo. Why it was among unrelated items, I don't know, but there it was. The size was more a mini yo-yo than the size of the yo-yos my friends and I once enjoyed on the playground during recess. This one probably came in a box of trinkets for the grandchildren. What would be the normal reaction to finding such a jewel? Wind the string and give it a try.

A good yo-yo has a strong string, but this one was more related to thread, but I wrapped it around the inside, made a loop for my finger, and stood back away from the closet door.
