From Hostage Crisis to Winner's Circle: They Got Curry

By Mig Feuser and Chris Melton / Adair Progress

Sometimes there are coincidences -- events nearly 14 years apart, both highlights in their own time, connected in the strangest of ways. One of them happened just a few weeks ago. So, without further ado, let's get into the story.

Part I: The Race

It was a sunny day on January 22 around Philadelphia. Forty-eight degrees and barely a cloud in the sky. At Parx Race Course in Bensalem, Pennsylvania, a three-year-old filly owned by Super C Stables of Mike Coombs was ready to run.

And it would not just be her first race -- it would immediately become the first win of her young career. By 4 1/4 lengths, the filly defeated the field, and on the big board her name stood at the top: Winner: They Got Curry!

They Got Curry - the backstory about the guy


2026-03-16 - Columbia, KY - Photo by Mig Feuser, Adair Progress.

Nearly 14 years later, Mike Curry still works at the Campbellsville Street branch of United Citizens Bank where a robber entered United Citizens Bank branch at 1582 Campbellsville Road. Eugene Earl Gentry, then age 63, allegedly brandished a black semi-automatic handgun while robbing the Highway 55 branch.

After getting around $90,000 in cash, Gentry decided that taking a hostage -- and the hostage's vehicle -- would be the best way to escape. He proceeded to take branch manager Mike Curry -- and yes, I know what you're thinking now -- at gunpoint and forced him to flee the scene in Curry's 1998 Ford Ranger pickup.

This is just part of the story! Click read more for all the details!

New art exhibit showcases strength, memory and identity

Natalie Jackson's 'Baroque Beauties' to be featured through April 10, 2026, in Lindsey Wilson Lucretia C. Begley Art Gallery.

By Duane Bonifer

Works that explore timeless beauty by a nationally renowned artist from the Midwest are now on display in the Lindsey Wilson University Lucretia C. Begley Art Gallery.

"Baroque Beauties" features 14 images by artist Natalie Jackson of Peoria, Illinois. Her works are on display through April 10, 2026.

"Through digital photography and collage, I seek to honor the depth of spirit that endures beyond the fleeting and the fashionable," said Jackson. "These images are not only portraits of subjects, but reflections of strength, memory and identity -- woven with textures and layers that echo the stories we carry. In every frame, I challenge the narratives imposed upon us, redefining how we are seen and, more importantly, how we see ourselves."

Patrons will be able to meet Jackson at a virtual event at 5pmCT on Tuesday, March 24, 2026, and at 2pmCT on Wednesday, March 25, 2026, in the W.W. Slider Humanities Center. A reception with refreshments and music will be held following the March 24 reception. All events are free and open to the public.

LWU beats CU 40-13 in first Women's Flag Football meeting

By Duane Bonifer

The Lindsey Wilson University women's flag football team made history in a big way on Friday, March 13, 2026, with a 40-13 win over rival Campbellsville University in the Battle of Highway 55 at Parnell Family Stadium. It was the first home women's flag football game in university history.

Lindsey Wilson, playing their inaugural season, improved to 4-1 with the win. Campbellsville fell to 3-7.

The Blue Raiders never trailed in the game. Lindsey Wilson scored a touchdown on their first possession, the game's second, to take a 7-0 lead. Campbellsville narrowed the deficit to six points with a 13-7 halftime score, but the Blue Raiders scored the first 27 points of the second half to seal the win.

Lindsey Wilson travels to Rockford, Illinois, to play four games March 20-21, 2026. Lindsey Wilson's next home game is April 1, 2026, and Lindsey Wilson will play Campbellsville again at 6pmCT on April 3, 2026, at the Tigers' Finley Stadium in Campbellsville.

Basketball: Beaten on the boards, beaten out of Nashville

By Ryan Hoots
Sports Director, UntdWeStnd.com

Nashville, TN - Kentucky's stay in the SEC Tournament didn't last past Friday afternoon. Florida saw to that.

71-63. Gators. Wildcats headed back to the Bluegrass early. Tails tucked.

Ugly game. Ugly box score. Ugly feeling walking out of Bridgestone Arena. Only thing uglier are the fans clad in orange hanging around for after the game.

Columbia Police Department Crime Tip-Line: Cally's Line

Note: For emergencies, always dial 911

From Evan Burton, Chief of Police
Columbia Police Department

The Columbia Police Department operates an anonymous Crime Tip-Line known as "Cally's Line" at 270-378-2259. This secure and confidential phone number is available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and accepts phone calls, voicemails, and text messages from citizens in Adair County, Kentucky who wish to report criminal activity.

Criminal activities that can be reported include drug trafficking, wanted fugitives, burglary or theft information, and any other criminal activity you wish to report.

It was recently brought to my attention that at a local meeting an individual stated that anonymous information from the Columbia Police Department Crime Tip-Line "Cally's Line" was not being shared with other local law enforcement agencies. I want to assure the community that this statement is incorrect.

When you report an anonymous tip, the information is taken seriously and shared with the appropriate law enforcement agency within your jurisdiction to ensure the best possible response.

The Columbia Police Department officer who manages the Crime Tip-Line shares information with other agencies, including the Adair County Sheriff's Office, Kentucky State Police, Dispatch, and surrounding county law enforcement agencies.

Strengthen Kentucky Homes application portal now open

From Kristin Voskuhl

Frankfort, KY - On March 12, 2026, Gov. Beshear announced the Strengthen Kentucky Homes (SKH) Program is open and taking homeowner applications. The new program provides qualified Kentucky homeowners with grants up to $10,000 to help fortify their roofs and protect against extreme wind and hail events.

In April 2024, Gov. Andy Beshear signed House Bill 256, creating the Strengthen Kentucky Homes Program and appropriating $5 million in grant funds for Kentucky homeowners.

"In just six years, Kentucky has faced 15 federally declared weather disasters and we're working hard to build back stronger and to protect our people from future events," said Gov. Beshear. "This program will help Kentuckians strengthen their homes, providing families peace of mind when the next severe weather hits. Even better, it will also help them save money at a time folks need it most."

The SKH application portal opened on March 1, 2026, and is accepting applications from qualified homeowners. Since opening the program, the Department of Insurance has received more than 150 applications from all over the state.

Letter: Beaver Residents

James Roberts writes:
Pen, these are definitely signs of beavers. You can tell by the long chisel taper cut of the trees. They only cut a tree from the height that they can reach while sitting or standing up. They have razor sharp teeth that bring down an average size tree in record time.

If you'll look around either direction on the waterway, you should be able to locate their beaver den/beaver dam. They can move an average size log fairly long distances from the use of their strong flat tail. Hope this helps, James Roberts.

Carol Perkins: Pick Me, Pick Me

Previous Column: Wednesday Afternoons

By Carol Perkins

When I am sitting in my chair, sewing eyes on teddy bears or making necklaces from beads, I often watch The Wall and Press Your Luck. If I were in California, I'd apply to be on both games since it takes no brain cells.

Some of those questions from The Wall are so off the wall that no one would know the answers, so I would pick B.

At the end of that show, the "isolated" person can take the original money or risk it for what might be left on the wall. Last week, a contestant signed for the original money and lost $800,000.

I would risk what might be rather than what is guaranteed. Easy to say when I'm not deciding.

Game shows are addictive. "The Price is Right" is another show I could be on without thinking deeply.

LWU students learn valuable conservation lessons in Belize

Among howler monkeys and scarlet macaws in a Central American rainforest, students explore conservation in a global context.

By Duane Bonifer

Five Lindsey Wilson University students spent their spring break in one of the planet's most biologically diverse ecosystems, where they studied, observed and learned about conservation and land management.

The students, who were led by two Lindsey Wilson faculty members, spent February 28-March 8, 2026, in the Central American nation of Belize, thanks in part to a special university grant.

Six of the students' days were dedicated to learning about ecology and conservation efforts on a 1,153-acre privately protected area in the foothills of the Maya Mountains in southern Belize along the crystal-clear Bladen River.

A former British colony, the nation of Belize is the equivalent of scattering the 300,000 people who live in Lincoln, Nebraska, across the U.S. state of New Hampshire. In addition to having a great deal of cultural and linguistic diversity, the tropical nation houses some of the most biologically diverse ecosystems on earth.
