Carol Perkins: Frog Legs Previous Column: Fat Free By Carol Perkins When the Friday lunch ladies go to a restaurant that serves frog legs, two of the girls leap out of their seats! "Don't you like them?" one friend asked when I turned up my nose. "I bet you've never tried them," I assured her. Every time my brother brought in a sack of frogs and prepared them (cut off their legs; I never looked), we had frog legs for supper. "All I remember," I said, "was the way they jumped in the skillet like they were being tortured. I considered eating one of them to be torture, too." My mother cooked whatever my brother killed because he was proud of his kill and wanted to be rewarded for his effort. That meant we ate squirrels, rabbits, frogs, and deer.

Baseball: May Madness leads to June Sadness By Ryan Hoots Sports Director, UntdWeStnd.com Lexington, KY - For a program that has spent post-COVID establishing themselves into one of the SEC's most consistent post season teams, the ending of the 2026 season will sting for a long time. Not necessarily because Kentucky lost, but because of the opportunity that was right there for the taking. West Virginia wasn't some vastly superior team. Were they better? Sure. But the gap wasn't as wide as many believed. What slipped away?

KSP: Pursuit ends in arrest of Barren Co. woman From Trooper Jonathan Houk Tompkinsville, KY - Kentucky State Police (KSP) Post 15 Troopers arrested a Barren County woman on multiple charges after a vehicle pursuit. On June 3, 2026, just before 3pmCT, a KSP trooper attempted to perform a traffic stop on a 2016 GMC Terrain on KY 163 at the Metcalfe/Monroe County line for speeding. The vehicle did not stop when the trooper activated his emergency equipment, and a pursuit ensued. Another trooper, positioned ahead of the pursuit, deployed a tire deflation device on KY 163 in an attempt to stop the vehicle, which successfully hit a front tire. However, the pursuit continued on KY 163 until it reached the Tompkinsville city limits, where the trooper terminated the pursuit. The vehicle continued traveling recklessly and at a high rate of speed south on KY 163 (North Main Street), and the trooper lost sight of it. At that time, the Tompkinsville Police Department (TPD) was notified to observe for the vehicle. A short time later, TPD notified KSP that the vehicle had been involved in a collision at the intersection of KY 163 and Columbia Avenue near the Valero gas station. Troopers then responded to the area and launched an investigation into the collision.
