Carol Perkins: All the plans I need Previous Column: What's for Supper? By Carol Perkins Plans. It's nice to have something to look forward to doing. Our Samaritan's boxes are ready for shipping crates (this week), and the drop-off week for others (if you have any to share) will be in November. We've finished our county boxes, thanks to so many people who helped with donations and labor. Now we need to raise money for shipping. We'll have our annual bake sale the Friday before Thanksgiving, and so many people donated last year that we hope will continue. What a wonderful cause it is to spread the word about Jesus at Christmas to underserved children around the world. Plans: I've noticed Halloween has become a highly decorated holiday, even among adults who are dressing up with their children. My Florida niece says it is her family's favorite (fun) holiday. This year, her mother and I are flying to St. Augustine a few days early to trick-or-treat with her family and the kids on Saturday.

Sitting is best interrupted every 30 minutes Getting out of the chair is not quite the same as moving. In studies that interrupted long stretches of sitting in adults, short bouts of easy walking outperformed simply standing up, according to research published in Sports Medicine. Standing still beat sitting. A lap around the room beat both. A reasonable target is to break up sitting every 30 minutes, even briefly. Stretching while lying down or reclining is not a cop-out either -- it takes the hips and shoulders through their full range without asking the back to hold up body weight. 2026-10-23 12:11:02 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Health Care

LWU community honors legacy of the Rev. Ed Henry By Duane Bonifer One of the more popular rooms on Lindsey Wilson University's A.P. White Campus was named in honor of one of its most loyal alumni on Thursday, October 22, 2026. The Rev. George Edward "Ed" Henry '46 Student Lounge was dedicated at a ceremony held by university officials and members of the Henry family in the Sumner Campus Ministry Center. "We honor the Rev. Ed Henry's lifetime of commitment to the ministry and to Lindsey Wilson by naming the student lounge in his memory for a lifetime of faithful and generous support," said Lindsey Wilson President William T. Luckey Jr. The son of V.P. Henry, who was Lindsey Wilson's third president from 1942-54, Ed Henry was a fourth-generation ordained Methodist minister who served Kentucky churches with his wife, the late Martha Belle Ammerman, in Beaver Dam, Brandenburg, Campbellsville, Hawesville, Irvington, Louisville, Owensboro and Sebree, as well as secretary and treasurer of the Louisville Annual Conference of The United Methodist Church. When Henry died at the age of 99 in August 2025 in Louisville, he was Lindsey Wilson's oldest living graduate. That distinction now belongs to his 98-year-old sister, Martha Henry Berry, who graduated from Lindsey Wilson in 1948 and attended Thursday's dedication service.

Football: Indians travel to Morgantown Friday By Trey Stephens, Staff Writer On Friday, October 23rd, 2026 the Adair County Indians Varsity Football team is back in action as they travel to Morgantown to face the Butler County Bears (5-3). The Tribe comes in on a four-game skid, having not notched a win since September 11 of this year. Butler County, meanwhile, comes in off a 40-0 rout of Hart County at home last week, which was their second win in the last three games. They lost to Glasgow in blowout fashion and defeated Edmonson County in that span. Bears QB Brody Dockery has been slinging the ball with consistency, passing for almost 160 yards per game on the season, with 11 touchdowns and four interceptions. He has been helped out in a big way by receiver Carson Davis, who has led the Bears with 542 receiving yards and four touchdowns on the season. Running the ball, Butler County has been very solid. Two rushers, Kevin Robins and Kaiden Richardson, are both averaging 70+ yards a game and combining for some 20 touchdowns. In addition, the Butler County defense has been very tough to tame this season, holding their opponents in the single digits four times. The Tribe will need to somehow break through that brutal Bears defense to get points on the board, and if they can do that they have a shot at this one. In games where the Bears have given up over more than 15 points they are 1-3 on the year. The Bears and Indians get underway at 7pmCT at Butler County High School, 1852 S Main St, Morgantown, KY. Tickets are $8, and can be purchased online at gofan.co. 2026-10-23 10:03:25 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Sports Birthdays and Anniversaries for October 23 Happy Anniversary, Cortez & Ruth Butler | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Anniversary, Larry and Patricia Goodin | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Anniversary, Nick and Diana Roy (1982) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Anniversary, Roger and Virginia Garner | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Anniversary, Tommy and Lisa Edwards (1981) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Aaron Gaskins (1998) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Arraya Phelps (2006) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Bubby (1994) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Carl Lewis Burris (1922) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Dick Scholl | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Donna McKinley | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Dorothy VanArsdale | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Dustin Pegg (1994) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Geneva Kemp | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Kali Ann Irvin (1994) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Lacey Helm (1988) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Lali Ann Irvin (1994) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Nathan Dickey | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Renee Garmon Kemp | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Ricky Daryl Huckaby, Jr. (1978) | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Sharon Ray Marshall | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, Susan Coomer Willis | (Updates/Corrections) Happy Birthday, William (PeeWee) Butler | (Updates/Corrections) In Memoriam, Ellis Pickett (-1981) | (Updates/Corrections) In Memory Birthday, Dr. Arthur J.
