Kentucky Color: Eastern Cottonwood By Billy Joe Fudge Libby and I recently celebrated our only Great-granddaughter Hazel Dettlinger's first birthday in Peoria, Illinois. Peoria sits on each side of the Illinois River about 160 miles North of its confluence with the mighty Mississippi at Saint Louis, Missouri. The floodplain the River creates across the Tallgrass Prairie of Central Illinois in many areas is a marshy, bottomland hardwood forest. Bottomland hardwoods typically love deep, rich and moist soils and can usually withstand temporary flooding. Most of these bottomland species can live and grow on upland sites but do not thrive there. Eastern Cottonwood is a typical anchor species in many bottomland hardwood ecosystems including the upper Cumberland, Barren and Green Rivers right here in the Great Wooded South. When my family moved to Harvey's Ridge in 1956, there were two large Eastern Cottonwoods in our front yard. They were most likely brought transplanted from Rock Lick Creek or Pettit's Fork Creek. 2026-08-18 09:54:05 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Kentucky Color by Billy Joe Fudge

New food items at Cranmer Dining & Conference Center By Duane Bonifer Lindsey Wilson University's Welcome Week will be held August 21-28, 2026, and one of the biggest changes returning students will likely notice on campus is a new menu at the Roberta D. Cranmer Dining & Conference Center. Five dozen new items have been added to the meals. New items that will be featured alongside the tradition of serving mashed potatoes and gravy include green chili queso potatoes, sweet and spicy Thai chicken, skillet corn, Korean barbecue pork and Beef vindaloo. The additions and changes to the menu were made based on student responses at last spring's food show, according to Lindsey Wilson Director of Auxiliary Services Jeff Willis. "That's the trend of young adults -- they're all gravitating toward international menus," said Willis. "These changes to our menus reflect these new tastes among students." Many of the 60 new menu items are more labor intensive and involve more complicated recipes than the traditional comfort-food items they replaced, but Willis said the changes were worth it. "Serving the students is what we are all about, and the students have expressed a desire to have these food items added to our menus," he said. 2026-08-18 09:42:16 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Lindsey Wilson University
