Phillip Coffey - Seasons SEASONS - By Phillip Coffey 'All is fickle ", said he in the dead of Winter in mostly jest. No cloud burst of laughter - no effusion of Hot seasons sweat. Another log on the fire - this he must go out and fetch. No 'lolly gagging' in the pathway of cold-powdered snow. Then up, approaching the first of Spring - buds of a peach tree. This began the emotions of less lingering beside the blackened gray Of the warmth of the Ever-present Winter Stove. Leaves of green-snow and chills in the seemingly distant past.

Lindsey Wilson University freshmen excited for next phase From Duane Bonifer Lindsey Wilson University's first official event for the Class of 2029 was an "exciting" time of "excitement."

More than 350 incoming students and family members were on the university's campus July 10-11 for the second installment of New Student Orientation.

KSP: 197 arrested in Operation Summer Heat 2.0 From Sherry Bray Frankfort, KY - On July 11, 2025, Gov. Andy Beshear announced that a New Kentucky Home is being created with fewer illegal drugs on the streets harming our families. The Kentucky State Police completed a successful Operation Summer Heat 2.0, targeting suspected drug networks operating in the commonwealth and leading to 197 arrests. "Every Kentuckian should be safe and feel safe, and no Kentucky family should feel the pain of losing a loved one to addiction," Gov. Beshear said. "Because of the Kentucky State Police, we are accomplishing both of these goals, and we are thankful for the agency's dedication to every single one of our commonwealth's communities." All 16 posts participated in Operation Summer Heat 2.0, and preliminary results indicate 197 arrests and 490 charges issued, along with the combined seizure of 3,002 grams of fentanyl, 1,176 grams of cocaine, 6,046 grams of methamphetamine, 408 grams of heroin, 600 fentanyl pills, 97 hydrocodone doses, 127 oxycodone doses and 67 doses of hallucinogens. Additionally, troopers confiscated 82 firearms, $181,381 in cash, and $200,000 worth of stolen property and also recovered a stolen vehicle. The estimated street value of the drugs collected exceeds $640,000. The investigation remains active, and more arrests are expected in the coming weeks.

Carol Perkins: Guy the Gardener Previous Column: The Fourth of July By Carol Perkins "I planted two packages of seeds and not one of them came up. You'd think that at least one would pop up, but no, not a one," Guy said as he lamented over his favorite vegetable, okra. "That's why I planted a garden to start with." He sulked. Early in the spring, Guy decided to try his hand at gardening again. He'd attempted it when we built the house in 1980, tilling a small plot, but the lack of topsoil yielded nothing worth preserving. Now, some forty years later and recently retired, he was giving it another go, though this time he limited himself to okra, tomatoes, cucumbers, and peppers. The peppers were for me, a fact he pointed out while reminding me--with a whine--that we could buy them more cheaply. On a slanted hillside, he planted watermelon and cantaloupe seeds. He was so proud as the vines emerged, but one day he discovered they had washed away.

Shaker Village travel photos by Robert Ellis Contributing photographer Robert Ellis made a trip to Shaker Village at Pleasant Hill, just outside Harrodsburg, KY, in late June 2025, and we've posted a number of photos from that trip. This article will offer a way to see them all in one place. Robert writes about the trip, "Originally I travelled to Shaker Village on Friday, June 13, 2025, (the Vintage Dad's Day event was scheduled for Saturday) thinking I could get ahead of the rain in the forecast for Saturday. I surmised the antiques would be setup on Friday for the Saturday festival. I was wrong...so I spent Friday focusing on photographing the numerous buildings of the village grounds. Checking the forecast Saturday morning, I saw that the rain would hold off until later in the day, so off again to Shakertown!" Click headline to view all the photos from Robert's trip.

GED mobile testing coming to area From Jill Midkiff Frankfort, KY - On July 9, 2025, Gov. Andy Beshear announced Team Kentucky is taking GED testing on the road, traveling to 25 areas in the state lacking access to brick-and-mortar buildings with in-person adult education services. Local counties where the mobile unit will travel include Adair, Green, Metcalfe, and Taylor. "As an education-first administration, we believe that access to education - from pre-K to postsecondary and beyond--is the key to a brighter future for all Kentuckians," said Gov. Beshear. "Early in my first term, we made GED testing free, and this new traveling unit is our latest effort to remove barriers to educational access. Thanks to the extraordinary work of our local providers, we are taking testing directly to Kentuckians in need, improving people's lives and enhancing their future employment opportunities."
