Raggard named LWC Flag Football Head Coach

Chris Raggard has been named the first head coach of the Lindsey Wilson women's flag football program, athletics director Willis Pooler announced on Wednesday. Lindsey Wilson kicks off its inaugural season in the spring of 2026.

Raggard comes to Lindsey Wilson after leading Pace High School girls' flag football to a 70-22 record over his six seasons.

"Chris was an obvious choice to lead our women's flag football program," Pooler said. "His attention to detail and his vision for our program made an immediate impact on our hiring committee. However, his passion for growing the sport of flag football while sharing the Lindsey Wilson mission with our future student-athletes was the deciding factor in Chris becoming our coach.

Travel: Hohenzollern Castle in Germany

By Veronica Arnold

Hohenzollern Castle is a popular site to visit in Germany. Definitely worth checking out, download the app before visiting, so you can scan the rooms and listen to the audiofile about the rooms that are open.

The family still owns it, so most of the castle is closed off. Around this time of year, they had a Santa and Elves, they sang Christmas carols, lights and trees decorated.... We got there there while sun was up, by the time we exited the castle, the sun had set and it was getting dark.

This place reminded me a lot of the Biltmore estate, the size and scale of the castle, the remote setting. The level of opulence was similar. The Peles Palace in Romania was fancier, so this level was like that of the American Vanderbilts.

Besides the fun snacks we could eat outside, the castle had cannons you could touch, the crown jewels of this family, a dungeon to go down down inside... draw bridges! If there is something that would make you think "castle," this place had it!

For more pictures from the Arnolds' latest trip, see Travel: Exploring Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany. You can see Veronica's other travelogues at Travel: From Fairplay to far Romania, and Travel: A trip to the Biltmore

Tips on how to avoid holiday weight gain

From November to New Year's, we are likely to be socializing and, according to both conventional wisdom and even some science, we are going to gain weight.

How much weight do people put on? One National Institutes of Health study of 195 participants found that people put on about one pound and, more importantly, they didn't lose it over the following year. Over time, those holiday pounds can really add up.

Home Tour to be held Sunday, December 8

By Richard Swartz

The First Annual Adair County Chamber of Commerce Christmas Home Tour will be held Sunday, December 8, 2024 from 1-4pmCT after a ten year hiatus.

Tammy Stotts and I, along with the Adair County Chamber of Commerce, would like to invite everyone to join us. There will be five beautiful residences on the tour this year.

I have always dreamt of having a home on the tour since moving to Columbia in 2008. The nostalgia of Christmas in Columbia at that time was so warm and inviting when the Adair County Womens Club hosted the event annually.

Isie Adams, 89, Russell County, KY (1935-2024)

Mae Isolene "Isie" Adams, of Russell Springs, passed away Tuesday, November 26, 2024. She was 89 years of age.

Born November 21, 1935, in Liberty, Kentucky, she was a daughter of the late Ernest and Rosie Ridner Dunham. Mae was no stranger to hard work. From working with her beloved husband Jack, on their dairy farm, to working at Russell Sportswear, and over 20 years at Fruit of the Loom, she did what was needed to raise her children. Even after leaving the sewing factory, she was a familiar face behind the counter at Adam's Bait and Tackle. Mae was a faithful member of French Valley Church. She was a loving mother and grandmother and will be dearly missed by her family.
