Lindsey Wilson students get close-up view of Frankfort By Duane Bonifer A group of Lindsey Wilson University students recently met with Kentucky communication professionals and observed state government in action on a recent trip to Frankfort. The students -- members of the "Political Communication and Public Affairs" class taught by communication faculty member Katelyn Brooks -- observed a meeting of the Tobacco Settlement Agreement Fund Oversight Committee and got to know communications staff members of the Kentucky State Senate President on an October 9, 2025, trip to the state capital. For the four students who made the trip with Brooks and communications professor Zachary Isaacs, it was their first time touring the Kentucky state capitol. And they said they were impressed with what they saw and heard -- especially from Angela Billings, who is communications director for the Senate Republicans, and Miles Huff, who is communications manager for the Senate GOP.

Shot, Stabbed, Hanged and More on the Public Square By Mike Watson A unique walking tour of the Public Square in Columbia will highlight a few of the many incidents that have occurred on--and off--the Town Square, illustrating its rich history. Just as the title states, there will be incidents of our varied past illustrated, some in graphic detail. The tour will be led by Mike Watson and Dave Thomas--fresh off the Lanterns & Tombstones Tours and Silent City Tours. The group will form at the Annex steps, corner of the Square and Greensburg Street, and proceed around the Square at 7pmCT, on the evening of Friday, October 24, 2025. This is an educational, historical walk back into the wild years of early Columbia, the Civil War, and more. It is not intended for small children, as it can be a bit gory.

Lindsey Wilson University Career Week 2025 is Nov 3-7 By Duane Bonifer Lindsey Wilson University students will get a sneak peak at what might be at the other end of their college education during the week of November 3-7, 2025. That's when the university will bring more than three dozen guests to campus as part of "Career Week 2025." Sponsored by the Lindsey Wilson Office of Career Services, the five days will include panel discussions about a myriad of career possibilities opened because of a Lindsey Wilson education, a graduate and professional school fair, and a business etiquette dinner. Lindsey Wilson Director of Career Services Annissa Crewe-Brown said she came up with the idea for the weeklong event after hosting successful law school panel discussions on campus for Lindsey Wilson students. "I liked how those events went much deeper than a normal career fair," said Crewe-Brown. "Students not only heard from law school officials, but they also had numerous opportunities to interact with them and ask questions."

Letter: Visiting graves of ancestors in Adair Co. By Bill Powell My name is Bill Powell of Wheat Ridge, Colorado. I recently visited Adair County to see the graves of my ancestors. I am the grandson of Jesse Peter Powell and Cinda Jane Powell. The are interred in the Buelah Chapel cemetery with my father's three brothers, Joe, Woodruff and Edwin. I also went to Bearwallow cemetery and found the graves of Cyrenus and Julia Burton, my grandmother's parents. Nearby was my other great-grandfather, WH Powell, a Civil War veteran of the 13th Kentucky Infantry. I'm 76, so this may have been my farewell tour, but I brought along my son Chris, who says he will return someday.
