United in our Thanksgiving

By Phillip Coffey

Doofus looking in the shower - 'sure is a-raining'
Blessings upon us - everyone is receiving
Gathering and cooking - chef is distressing
The best to everyone -safely traveling.

Pilgrims and Indians exchanging in first feasting
Union and 'Rebels' divided in the suffering
'Ole Abe' makes it an official National blessing
Now we are all united in our Thanksgiving.

LWC Women's Basketball secures 58-56 Upset victory

By Brady Budke

Crestview Hills, KY - A game that came down to the final seconds of action proved to favor the (RV) Lindsey Wilson women's basketball team on Friday evening at the Julie Costello Memorial Classic, as the team upset No. 3-ranked Marian (IN) by a final of 58-56. The Blue Raiders now move to 5-1 overall on the season, while the Knights drop to 6-3. The finish of play had fans and players of both squads on the edge of their seats.

The competition was a back-and-forth battle early, as a 16-16 stalemate was what the scoreboard read after one quarter. LWC held onto a slim 31-29 lead going into the halftime locker room, but was eventually able to control a 49-39 upper hand heading into the fourth. Despite trailing by as much as 12 in the final quarter, Marian made a final push to try and avoid the upset loss.

Gov. Beshear: Thursday highest day ever for new COVID cases

By Crystal Staley/Sebastian Kitchen

Frankfort, KY - Today, Gov. Andy Beshear announced case information for Thursday and Friday, including the highest number of new daily cases ever reported in the state and the second highest number of newly confirmed deaths.

The Governor asked families to avoid busy shopping areas to prevent a further escalation of COVID-19 cases. He reminded Kentuckians that many retailers are extending Black Friday deals to limit crowds.

"These new case reports are truly alarming. Please be careful when you're shopping and consider safer options, like purchasing gifts online for delivery or curbside pick-up," said Gov. Beshear. "Wash your hands, stay six feet apart from other shoppers and wear a mask at all times. Now is the time we need everyone to buckle down, stay strong and stop this surge in cases."

Smyzer speaks at CU Thanksgiving Worship Service chapel

By Scarlett Birge

Campbellsville, KY - "One of the biggest things that we can be thankful for in this day and time is our relationship with God," the Rev. Matthew Smyzer, a member of Campbellsville University's Board of Trustees, pastor of Beargrass Missionary Baptist Church in Louisville and a 2014 graduate of CU, said at the university's Nov. 18 Thanksgiving chapel service.

He spoke of staying on the course given by God as he read from Genesis 26:1-6. Staying the course in following God throughout all the hardships of life is what allows for us to appreciate and give thanks for the blessings of life he said.

"Stay the course means that we have a plan, and we have a purpose," Smyzer said. "That would take us from where we are right now to the next step in our lives."
