42-win CU baseball season falls short of NAIA World Series 42-win CU baseball season falls short of NAIA World SeriesCumberland (TN) advances to its 11th NAIA World Series By Chris Megginson News from Campbellsville Sports Information JOLIET, IL - For 6 1/3 innings in the NAIA Baseball Tournament Opening Round championship, Campbellsville University sophomore pitcher Rusty Devitt was perfect against Cumberland (TN) University. Unfortunately for the Tigers, Devitt's 12-strikeout, three-hit performance was outmatched by Cumberland University's Aaron Wilkerson, who fanned a 2010 Tournament record 17 batters in a 3-0 Tiger loss. With the win, Cumberland (53-9) advances to the Avista-NAIA World Series for the 11th time in program history, and the first time since 2007, while Campbellsville falls just shy of its second trip and finishes the year 42-22.

How one Concord became known as New Concord About: Query: Needs information on distinction of the Concords Old and New For years confusion has been realized regarding the identities of the two Concord communities of Adair County. I am familiar with one of them because my mother, Katherine Louise Grider Lepiarczyk, was born there. Today this community is known as New Concord.

BJF suggests expanded Assimilation Academy curriculum About: Conjecture on new plant wanting CACEDA to help it expand here To Columbiamagazine.com: It is quite apparent that we need to expand and or refine our Adair Assimilation Academy criteria to cover more state-wide materials and information. It is quite apparent that these deficiencies have caused Mr. Mashburn to erroneously assume that whiskey can be made in Kentucky. We all should apologize for not informing him that only Bourbon is made in Kentucky. s/Billy Joe Fudge Probably a good idea, though in all matters academic, we defer and refer to Dr. Johnny Vaughn, our learned Academic and Most Else Dean. -EW 2010-05-21 08:32:01 | Comments | Printable version

Oil boom on Crocus Creek sharp contrast to Gulf Coast catastrophe Herbert Turner brings in latest Chowning well May 6, 2010 I think a drive down Highway 704 and through Hopewell Acres will prove that contrary to the ongoing catastrophe in the Gulf, with proper planning and a desire to do the right thing we can provide for our nation's energy needs without negatively impacting our environment. -BILLY JOE FUDGE By Billy Joe Fudge Chattin and Libby Chowning raised their two sons, John and Joe Chat, to reverence the land and our natural resources. This was, I am sure, an easy lesson to learn given that the classroom was beautiful Hopewell Acres on scenic Crocus Creek just over in Cumberland County down Highway 704. I would like to apologize to the eldest son, Joe Chat for always putting his younger brother's name first but I knew John for several years prior to meeting him, plus it just sort of rolls off the tongue easier. Over the last 150 or so years there have been three or more oil booms on Crocus Creek and each were on or near Hopewell Acres. As with any business ventures there were some good experiences and some bad experiences.
