Letter: Square Signage

James Roberts writes:
I have in the past mentioned putting the directional signs across the crosswalk on the square. That went nowhere. Put them on the grass section around the courthouse on all sides. They won't get run over there. Not as likely!

Full Moon Over the Ridge



2024-04-24 - Adair Co., KY - Photo by Roldcat.
Roldcat writes, "Although each month's full moon has a unique name, the name doesn't really have anything to do with the actual moon.

April's full moon which occurred last night, on the 23rd, is called the 'pink moon'. With the thin layer of clouds that we had in Crocus (Southeastern Adair County) the moon did project a pinkish glow in the sky."

LWC to hold three commencement ceremonies April 26-27

By Venus Popplewell
LWC Director of Public Relations

For the third consecutive year, Lindsey Wilson College will cap off its largest class in school history at spring commencement. Lindsey Wilson's commencement celebration, the 119th in school history, will be held over two days, April 26 - 27, 2024. To accommodate the large crowds, graduates have been allotted tickets for guests in attendance.
  • The first ceremony will take place at 6pmCT, on Friday, April 26, in Biggers Sports Center, 360 Spickard Drive, Columbia, KY. The Friday evening event will recognize students who attended LWC via the graduate hybrid program.

  • The second ceremony will take place at 10amCT on Saturday, April 27, in Biggers Sports Center. The Saturday morning event will recognize students who attended LWC on the A.P. White Campus in Columbia.

  • The third ceremony will take place at 2pmCT, on Saturday, April 27, in Biggers Sports Center. The Saturday afternoon event will recognize students who attended LWC online or at one of the community campus off-site locations.
A total of 588 degrees will be conferred for the 2024 spring class. That number includes 226 undergraduate degrees and 362 graduate degrees. Combined with the 642 degrees awarded at LWC's winter commencement ceremony, the Lindsey Wilson Class of 2024 will be a record 1,230 graduates - the most in the 120-year history of The United Methodist-affiliated college. To put that number into perspective, the College awarded a record 743 in 2023.
