Daily News for Monday, October 30, 2023
Administration Building, Scarier Than You Think By Morgan Bryant The Campus Courier, Lindsey Wilson College It is 8:46 PM, you are behind a curtain covered in shadow on a stage that is placed inside of the V.P Henry Auditorium at Lindsey Wilson College. The curtains are a deep blue, and the only light that is apparent is seeping through the cracks from the outer stage. You are fumbling with the various props, ropes, and portions of curtains that stick to your feet, aching to leave at a decent time. That is when you see it, or rather, that is when you see her, standing in the corner in a white dress, watching. Ghosts are something that is, oftentimes, a hard subject to discuss due to their debatable nature. For some, ghosts are an important part of spiritual life, for others, it is a bunch of hullabaloo.

No-Excuse Early Voting Runs Nov 2-4, 2023 From Michon Lindstrom Frankfort, KY - Secretary of State Michael Adams is calling on gubernatorial candidates Andy Beshear and Daniel Cameron to promote early voting in the November election. "The best way to avoid lines at the polls is to take advantage of our early voting days, this Thursday through Saturday," said Adams. "I ask Governor Beshear and Attorney General Cameron to encourage their supporters to vote early and help ensure a smooth election for both our voters and our poll workers." In 2021, Adams successfully worked with both Republicans and Democrats to enact three days of no-excuse early voting. Kentuckians can vote early on Thursday, November 2 through Saturday, November 4. Voters can find their early voting locations and times at govote.ky.gov. 2023-10-30 17:25:17 | Comments | Printable version

Thank you to those who came out Friday night By Mike Watson Dave Thomas and I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who braved the mist and drizzle on the evening of October 27 to attend the first--we hope of many--down town walking tours. This one, "Shot - Stabbed - Hanged - and More on the Columbia Public Square," seems to have been a success. Our "people counters" who try to determine the turnout at such events had a difficult time deciding how many came out, but we have concluded that between 130 and 140 were in attendance. We could not have pulled this off without many who encouraged us, those who assisted in gathering information, and our behind-the-scenes wives--Amy and Renea! Also a big thank you to Merle and Karen Burton for allowing us the use of their mobile speaker system.

Letter: Question about bridge at Swan Pond Bottom Joe Curtis writes: I'd like to know if the elevation of planned roadway and bridge will be above the flood plan should there ever be a catastrophic loss of the Wolf Creek Dam? From pic it looks questionable unless there is a massive amount of more fill applied to what's in the pic. Sometimes there more forethought applied to costs rather than safety.Please use our Comment Form if you have info to share.
