CU Athletics to broadcast from new Mass Communication Center By Jordan Alves Campbellsville, KY - The familiar voices of Jim Freeman and Matt Payton will be on the radio air waves Friday afternoon as Campbellsville University Football travels to the University of Pikeville for the second game of the season. To the listeners around the world, it will sound just like any game, but to the broadcast duo entering their 8th year together on the CU Sports Network it'll have a different feel. Freeman enters his 15th year broadcasting Tiger football, while Payton joined him in 2013. The two have called 71 games together including Campbellsville's run to consecutive NAIA Playoff appearances and the last two Mid-South Conference Championships in 2014 and 2015, and the NCCAA Victory Bowl Championship in 2017. During those runs, Freeman, Payton and long-time statistician Kevin Burkhead -- who has kept stats for the Tigers for 342 straight games - were all at the stadium bringing the game to radios, smart phones, and computers across the world. In a COVID-19 pandemic year, that is changing this season as the duo will be housed in the newest addition of Campbellsville University's academic buildings, the new Mass Communication Center.

LCDHD COVID-19 Public Information Brief 2/25/2021 By Amy Tomlinson Lake Cumberland District Health Department For the district, we added fewer cases today than last Thursday, so our 7-day average incidence rate went down slightly.

The Governor announced some more vaccine sites in our district. Tomorrow, we will confirm some information and then add them to our "Vaccination Sites" section on the webpage. Please, let's all do our part in slowing the spread of COVID-19 by wearing our face coverings, avoiding crowds (especially in confined spaces), social distancing when around others, increasing our hand hygiene, increasing our general sanitation, and by avoiding touching our faces.

Carol Perkins: Getting a second opinion Previous Column: Snow brings memories of childhood By Carol Perkins "Your phone's been dinging." Guy stood in the bedroom doorway holding my cell phone. I was not fully awake. "I think it's Connie." She would never call this early. I assumed it was a "butt" dial (as it's called) or a "sleeping pill" dial, but I had to be sure. Rather than saying, "Hello," she said, "Did you call me?" Her tone was one of panic. "No, you're the one who called me!" I replied. "What's wrong?" "I didn't call you. You called me." This went back and forth. Article continues... click title or click here to read whole article. 2021-02-25 09:58:46 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Carol Perkins
