Reilly Wells earns L3 Award at Lindsey Wilson College From Duane Bonifer Lindsey Wilson College student Reilly Wells '26 is rarely speechless. But the student leader recently found herself searching for the right words to describe the feelings of receiving one of the college's top student leadership awards this spring. Known as the L3 Award -- which stands for live, learn and lead -- the award recognizes Lindsey Wilson students and employees who exemplify the spirit to live, learn and lead through in their daily work. The award is presented annually to three members of the Lindsey Wilson student body. Wells said "it was quite astonishing (to receive the award) because I wasn't expecting it at all." "As I have gotten older, I've been more focused on school rather than on extracurricular activities," said Wells, the daughter of Chris Wells and Amy Thompson-Wells of Columbia. "I really haven't had many leadership roles lately outside of class. But I was pleasantly surprised."

CU hosts panel discussion featuring local pastors at chapel By Simon Baker "You have a gift that is valuable to the church, and the church has gifts that are valuable to you. And if you unplug, you're robbing the church of that benefit and yourself of the benefit of those gifts," Pastor Kent Ashley shared at a recent Campbellsville University chapel. Ashley was part of a panel of pastors in the Campbellsville community, who discussed what legacy means, the role of the church, the challenges of walking with God and how to share faith and lessons with the next generation. The panel was led by Senior Pastor Dwayne Norman, who preaches at Campbellsville Baptist in Campbellsville. The panel consisted of Ashley, pastor of Friendship Baptist Church in Campbellsville; Tyrone Johnson, pastor of First Baptist Church in Campbellsville; Blake Jessie, who serves at Campbellsville Baptist Church; and Brian Rafferty, senior pastor of Elkhorn Baptist Church in Campbellsville.

Garden Tour 2025: Farm to Table Living at Home From Sheila Willis "Farm to table" is the perfect way to describe the primary gardens at our home. While fruits and vegetables receive the most attention, our love for planting and managing crops has expanded into additional spaces filled with a wide variety of plants. Gardening has always been a part of our lives. We pick our produce fresh and either enjoy it right away or preserve it through canning and freezing. Over the past five years, we've added a strawberry patch, raspberry bushes, a blueberry patch, an asparagus bed, and several Concord grape vines. We also created a dedicated pollinator garden to support our beehives. Article continues... click here to read the whole article, or to share, print, or bookmark it. 2025-05-12 02:16:35 | Comments
Outdoor burning restrictions effective now Frankfort, KY - May marks the beginning of ozone season in the commonwealth. To protect families and improve air quality, outdoor burning in many counties is restricted until Sept. 30. Ozone is protective when it occurs high in the stratosphere, but ground-level ozone is a summertime health risk, created when pollutants chemically react in the atmosphere in the presence of heat and sunlight. Ground-level ozone irritates breathing passages and can trigger asthma attacks. Asthma affects more than 380,000 Kentuckians. Open burning contributes to ozone pollution.
