A medal for the worst cabin fever ever By Phillip Coffey "Cabin fever" is a bummer. When I think of cabin fever I think of Joe Hensely who was an older coworker when I was a mine inspector. He joined the Air Force in 1953 during the Cold War. It certainly was where 'the powers that be'sent him for a year. Joe was stationed at Thule Air base now known as Pituffik Space Base. It is the most northern base of the U.S.A.,750 miles north of the Artic Circle.Located in Nothwest Greenland.On one occasion I said," Joe someone must have been pied off at you, (Not my finest moment, young people say stupid stuff - I sure did.

LWU events celebrate Centenary of Black History Month Month includes special campus events, lecture by Appalachian scholar and display of 'Gallery of Great Black Kentuckians.' By Duane Bonifer The Lindsey Wilson University community will celebrate the centenary of the founding of Black History Month with a pair of university events, a special lecture and a display of great Black Kentuckians. The theme for this year's celebration, established by the Association for the Study of African American Life and History, is "A Century of Black History Commemorations." Black History Month started in 1926 as Negro History Week by Carter G. Woodson. Woodson, who was a graduate of Kentucky's Berea College and founder of the Association for the Study of African American Life and History, chose to hold the celebration in the second week of February because it included the birthdates of Abraham Lincoln and Frederick Douglass. Black History Month was first celebrated in 1970, and in 1976 President Gerald Ford recognized Black History Month, calling on Americans to "seize the opportunity to honor the too-often neglected accomplishments of Black Americans in every area of endeavor throughout our history." This year's Lindsey Wilson celebration of Black History Month will also have a Berea connection as scholar and former Berea professor William G. Turner will give a talk on February 17, 2026, about Appalachia's connections to the Civil Rights Movement.

Basketball: Lady Indians head to Bethlehem HS By Trey Stephens, Staff Writer On Friday, February 6, 2026, the Adair County Lady Indians Varsity Basketball team fell to the Taylor County Lady Cardinals 75-40 on the road. The Tribe fell behind early, 18-9 at the end of one, and 37-17 by the half, and were simply unable to recover. The Lady Indians are now 11-9 on the season. On Monday, the Lady Indians will travel to Bardstown to take on the Bethlehem Banshees (12-9). The Banshees come off a 64-42 win over Washington County this past Saturday. The two teams have faced various mutual opponents. Both have defeated Marion County, although Bethlehem did so more convincingly 70-29, compared to the Lady Indians 46-29 and 59-42 wins over the Lady Knights. The other two mutual opponents are Campbellsville, who Bethlehem beat 66-24 and who the Lady Indians have lost to twice, and Green County, who Adair County beat 64-61 in double overtime and Bethlehem lost to 54-56. Tonight's game will be the first time since 2010 that these two programs face off in the regular season. This game will be a renewal of what used to be a more frequent opponent for the Lady Indians. They faced the Banshees nine times between 2000 and 2010, but have only faced them once since. In the 2023 5th Region tournament, Bethlehem got the edge 67-31. Tip off against Bethlehem is scheduled for 6:30pmCT on February 9, 2026, at Bethlehem High School, 200 Bethlehem Way, Bardstown, KY. Tickets are available at gofan.co. 2026-02-09 09:36:18 | Comments | Printable version | See topic Sports
