Commentary: Seeing with Both Eyes What Emerson -- and a Mule at a Gate -- Can Teach Us About the Government Shutdown By David Goguen Two old farmers were leaning on a fence one afternoon, watching a mule stare at a closed gate. One of them said, "That mule's too stubborn to push it open." The other spat, shook his head, and said, "Nah, he's not stubborn--he's just thinkin' about the meaning of the gate." They both laughed, and then went quiet for a bit, just watching that mule stand there in the sun. Funny thing is, both of them might have been right. One saw a problem that needed fixing. The other saw something to think about. That story says a lot about how people see the world.

Adair County FFA Land Judging Team is heading to Nationals! On Thursday, November 6, 2025, the Adair County FFA competed in the State FFA Land Judging & Homesite Evaluation contest in Hardinsburg. Team members were Ethan Wooten, Addie Baker, Isabella Harvey, and Katie Kean. All team members performed exceptionally. The team earned 6th place in Land Judging and 2nd place in Homesite Evaluation. Isabella Harvey placed 3rd in the state in Homesite Evaluation as an individual. The state contest is much more difficult than the previous regional contest. In addition to evaluating land for its use in crop production, students at the state level have to assess a site for aspects of home construction. They have to determine how the soil qualities could affect a future basement, home foundation, septic system, and lawn. The information gained through this contest makes these students much more knowledgeable as future home and land owners. Due to their performance at the state level, the team has earned the right to represent the state of Kentucky at the national contest, which will be held in Oklahoma in the spring of 2026. This is the first time that Adair County has advanced to this level since 2023. The success of this team would not be possible without the many supporters of Adair County FFA. The students would like to thank the many farmers and agriculturalists that allowed them to practice on their land or provided soil cores to study.

LWU Students discover many paths lead to a successful career By Duane Bonifer Lindsey Wilson University students received a lifetime of invaluable career advice during the week of November 3-7, 2025. It came during the university's inaugural "Career Week," sponsored by the LWU Office of Career Services and Alumni Office and held in the Norma and Glen Hodge Center for Discipleship. The week brought together a diverse range of more than four dozen campus guests who shared lessons learned from their professional triumphs, struggles, failures, secrets and reflections. The speakers were from a myriad of professions that included allied health, business, communication, education, entrepreneurship, finance, healthcare, media, ministry, public service, sport and social science. Although the speakers' professions, majors and experiences varied, a few themes emerged, including the benefits of having a mentor, the value of grit and asking for help. Dentist Dr. Andrea Owens '09 recalled that when she reached dental school, it was the first time she needed assistance from a tutor. "Working hard only made me better and stronger," she said on her panel, which focused on allied health and healthcare professions.

Phillip Coffey: Nature's Song By Phillip Coffey The falling leaves gasped momentarily, drifting with the gentle breeze from the mighty Silver Maple tree that gave them life, but now they join so many more with their last Hurrahs of seasons glory. So many heaped oh so high for children and kindred to laugh and toss for future stories. Nature's song and dance of rain and chills has all but stolen the gaiety of restful pleasure - with but a moment's notice. The mightiest in my nearsighted view harbors only a dull grey now. The remaining leaves beneath - upon the forest floor shall soon decay returning to its mother - much life support during the winter season. Then with Father Time shall return with beauty for my homeplace in Springtime once more. Click here to share, print, or bookmark this article. 2025-11-09 21:12:46 | Comments

Brockmans sharing a journey to health By Josh Brockman I started smoking when I was 15 years old. For nearly 30 years I smoked. Many never knew I smoked because I tried to never smoke in public or my uniform. When I retired one year ago I decided my health was gonna take a front row seat. I quit cold turkey as they say. Today I celebrate one year free of cigarettes. I still crave them from time to time but I'm hanging on. Amy started an additional journey with me for my physical health.
