State of Emergency declared ahead of 4-day storm

Governor activates emergency response, price gouging laws to protect Kentuckians

Frankfort, KY - (April 2, 2025) - Today, Gov. Andy Beshear declared a state of emergency ahead of the first round of severe storms that are expected to last for four days. The storm is especially concerning for far Western Kentucky, which is going to see potentially historic amounts of rain, and strong winds with the possibility of tornadoes are in the forecast for much of Kentucky.

In a video message, the Governor said far Western Kentucky is facing a severe weather risk at a Level 5, which means there could be widespread severe storms that are intense and long-lived. Across the state there are concerns about tornadoes, hail, flooding and strong winds. The Governor is urging all Kentuckians to find a safe place to stay tonight.

Artist reception for Dorothy Cowan at Highland Station

Highland Station Gallery is proud to announce their next Gallery exhibition, Dorothy Cowan ~ Life Of An Artist, to run April 3 through April 12, 2025. An Artist Reception will be held at 4pmCT on Thursday, April 3, 2025.

Dorothy Cowan was born in 1936 in Sparksville. She went to school in a 1-room schoolhouse, learning from favorite teachers Brooks Coomer & Meral Brown. Dorothy got married at 16, and raised three children. She didn't know she could draw or paint anything until after all her children were grown.

One day a visiting friend left a book behind with a picture of a horse and she drew it. The drawing was good, and she became interested in art. One day she was wandering in the creek and found a slick rock and thought she could paint that. She then took an art class and painted her first picture. She drew and painted pictures of buildings, flowers and birds, selling some, but keeping most of them. Dorothy is now retired.

Highland Station Gallery is located at 3292 Wheeler Hill Road, Columbia KY. More information and exhibit hours are available at www.HighlandStationGallery.com.

LWC English students present, connect at national conference

From Duane Bonifer

A group of Lindsey Wilson College students recently made a big impression on the national stage. The seven students were among a 10-member delegation from Lindsey Wilson that participated at the 2025 convention of Sigma Tau Delta, the international honor society for students of English, held March 19-22, 2025, in Pittsburgh.

The students and professors presented their work, sat on panels, and exchanged ideas with students and professors from other colleges and universities throughout the United States.

"I was so impressed and proud of all of our students, because not only did they do an amazing job presenting but they were also very impressive during the question-and-answer sessions," said Lindsey Wilson English professor Karolyn Steffens, one of three faculty members who attended the conference. "The Q&A is the unscripted part - you can't really prepare for that, because you don't know what kind of questions you're going to get. Our students blew that segment out of the park."

As a result, Steffens said the Lindsey Wilson students "consistently received some of the tougher questions from faculty members at the convention, because they saw the rigor of their argumentation."

April 7 Genealogy Meeting: Solomon Baker and His Long Rifle

From Mike Watson

Survival in the early years of settlement on the American continent was dependent upon the ability to protect one's self and family and to successfully hunt for food for the table. The long-rifle, as it became known, was the best and most accurate weapon to do both these vital tasks.

The Long-Hunters were some of the first to penetrate the dense forests of Kentucky Territory of Western Virginia and the long-rifle made the first trek with them. Makers of each unique firearm were prized citizens and much sought after. There were several gun makers in early Kentucky and their handiwork can still be seen in museums and private collections.

Early settlers in Adair County were impacted by the same needs and threats and the need for defense was just as real as ever.

Richard Phelps will bring this period of our history to life with a program on gun maker Solomon Baker of Adair County. Learn more about the influence of the Baker Rifle at the next meeting of the Adair County Genealogical Society at 5pmCT on Monday, April 7, 2025, at the Adair Genealogy & History Research Center, 307 Greensburg Street, Columbia, KY.

ACHS Asst. Principals launched education careers from LWC

From Duane Bonifer

Anthony Darnell and Trent Hadley took different paths to enter the education profession. But one experience they have in common is that their careers were launched at Lindsey Wilson College.

Darnell and Hadley, who are the assistant principals at Adair County High School, also share a passion for educating young people and helping them discern their life calling.

LWC Business and Technology faculty study AI in coursework

From Duane Bonifer

Few topics are more divisive in higher education than the role of artificial intelligence in the academy.

That's what led three Lindsey Wilson College professors to study the role AI might play to increase and enhance student learning.

"In talking to students, especially international students, they say, 'We use it, but we use it to try to do better,'" said Helen MacLennan, who is a professor and dean of the Lindsey Wilson School of Graduate Business and Technology.

Along with fellow Lindsey Wilson business and technology professors Hermano De Queiroz and Charles Malka, MacLennan surveyed 157 students to better understand how they use AI in their work. De Queiroz and MacLennan presented their findings at the Society for Advancement of Management national conference, held in March in Tallahassee, Florida.

McGowan named LWC Criminal Justice Professor

From Duane Bonifer

A lot of people don't land their dream job until they have labored for decades in their profession.

That's one reason why Casey Hardy McGowan is excited to be back at Lindsey Wilson College.

McGowan was recently named a Lindsey Wilson criminal justice professor and director of the college's Title IX compliance, where she serves as the college's Title IX coordinator. She also will serve as public defender for the Columbia region in nearby Taylor County.

"I'm really excited to be back here," said McGowan, who grew up in Jamestown, Kentucky, and graduated from Lindsey Wilson in 2014 with a degree in English and criminal justice and a women's studies minor. "Lindsey Wilson is so special to me . . . I feel like I was able to achieve what I did after I left here because of what I got while I was here. Throughout the years, I have realized how special the Lindsey Wilson student experience is."

KSP pursuit ends in armed robbery suspect arrest

By Trooper Jonathan Houk

COLUMBIA, Ky. (March 31, 2025) - Kentucky State Police (KSP) Post 15 Troopers arrested a Muhlenberg County man early Sunday morning on numerous charges after a vehicle pursuit.

On March 30, 2025, at 2:06 A.M. CST, KSP Post 15 received a call that a Wayne County Sheriff's Office Deputy was pursuing a vehicle suspected of being involved in an armed robbery of a convenience store in Monticello. The vehicle was a 2008 Ford F-150 traveling west on KY 90 through Clinton County and into Cumberland County, where KSP Post 15 Troopers located the vehicle and continued the pursuit. The vehicle continued north on KY 61 into Adair County, where a tire deflation device was deployed successfully. The vehicle was stopped near the intersection of KY 61 and KY 55 Bypass in Columbia. Upon termination of the vehicle pursuit, the operator exited the vehicle and was taken into custody.

Wigginton challenges let Jesus into your situations

By Simon Baker, student news writer,
Office of Campbellsville University Communications

When do you call on Jesus? When you are anxious, need help on an exam or when life is going wrong? At CU's chapel on March 19, Madison Wigginton, a CU alum, suggested students should welcome Jesus into all areas of their lives, not just when life is going bad.

Wigginton opened by telling students about the invitation that Jesus offers - an invitation that requires a response. Jesus lived, went to the cross, laid His life down and rose from the grave to offer salvation to anyone who believes and calls on His name.
